I might have to check that one out. Back when I was a teenager I was really into roguelike games like PC-Hack and Umoria, and I actually have Nethack on my computer now. I sank about six months into a Umoria character one time. I'll go looking for modern takes on the roguelike formula from time to time.
FFXV is my favorite game of this year.
A lot of the games I played this year were HD remasters of older games. I could just about make a top 10 of those.
I love vacation time. I like to travel, and take my portable games on the road. You seem to be on a big Killzone kick lately.
Merry Christmas!
I enjoyed FFX and you know I love the series as a whole, but what made you decide to play it, if I may ask? I don't think I've ever seen you really play a Final Fantasy title before.
Merry Christmas, my RPG brother.
Merry Christmas, buddy. May you always remain hidden from the sight of your adversaries, even if it's under a cardboard box that has no business being there.
Merry Christmas, buddy.
That's awesome picking up gaming like that. That was around the time I got my first job outside the home. I motivated myself by saving up for a PlayStation and Final Fantasy VII. That's my annual game, my favorite game of all time.
I always wanted to try Christmas NiGHTS. I do remember that Secret of Mana had a section where you had to rescue Santa Claus. The music for that region wasn't particularly Christmasy.
When I was a kid and playing on the Atari XE, I had a game called Special Delivery where you were Santa Claus. In the flying stages you'd have to catch presents dropped by angels (and avoid presents dropped by red angels, who were ostensibly Satan's angels) and avoid mountains and trees. If you caught a certain quota of presents, you'd then have to land your sleigh on the roof of a big house, climb down the chimney without getting burned, and then sneak presents under the tree without being caught by the kids. If you didn't catch enough, you had to drop the presents you did have into the chimneys of little cottages. Then the game would repeat at a higher difficulty level.
One neat little easter egg in Fallout 4 was how the town in that game would deck itself out in Christmas lights and a Christmas tree on December 25th of the in-game clock.
