Well, either way, I won't be playing it for a very long time, as I just can't justify the expense of a new console in my current financial circumstances.

Thanks, interview is tomorrow AM.

Did you play the Christmas levels of Costume Quest (Gubbins on Ice)?

I got sleeping Dogs free through Games With Gold but didn't play it until recently. I had a blast with it.

It is.

Playing: Funny you should mention Legos... Been playing Lego Batman (the first one) the past couple of days. Finished the story and now going back to mop up.

Reading: Not much of anything. Still at the Old Forest Chapter in The Fellowship of the Ring.

Watching: Jason and I watched Gravity last night. I don't see what all the hype was about. Also been marathoning the current season of Hell's Kitchen.

Eating: Barber Foods Apple and Brie stuffed chicken breasts, rice, and green beans for dinner last night, leftovers tonight. I thuink I'll make a corn chowder tomorrow, and maybe bake some ginger snaps.

I've never actually quit gaming, but I have had long breaks and dry spells. I was an avid PC gamer in the 80s, but that ended when I moved out of my parents house because back in those days I couldn't afford a computer of my own. Then I played the heck out of my Genesis, until games were hard to find, and took a long break until we were gifted with a hand-me-down PS1 after Jason's little brother got a PS2 for Christmas when they first came out. I also take extended breaks from gaming just because other areas of my life get busy. I spend more time doing outdoorsey stuff and reading, but then I come back to gaming. 

The Deep Sleep games are flash games and are available in a couple of places: Armor Games and Kongregate are the two I know of. I played them on Kongregate.

Nice Home Improvement reference!

Which track did you hear by Pentatonix? I heard Little Drummer Boy. They're pretty good, but I don't think I'd buy their albums. I've been listening to Christmas music, too, but I'm more on the folky end of the spectrum.

You must not have lived right on the coast. I'm a mile from the harbor. And this one wasn't bad, merely inconvenient and early. The one we had shortly after I moved in to my cottage dumped three feet of snow on us and had sustained windspeeds of up to 70 mph. It doesn't affect us as badly in the northern NE state as it does in the southern ones - we just soldier on, business as usual, and dig out without whining because it's just winter up here. In CT, they act like it's the apocalypse.
