"What do you think you'll get for Christmas?"

I always get games for Christmas... yet I never get the biggest and the best... I buy them myself so I can get it the day of release. For example Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and F Zero GX is highly likely to be bought by me this Christmas and not found under the tree.

I know its a bit early to discuss Christmas pressies.. but judging on past experiences what do you think you'll get?

I'll probably end up with Tony Hawks Underground, Mario Golf, Worms 3D and Simpsons: Hit and Run... probably anyway... I always seem to get a Tony Hawks game for Christmas.

So go on... talk to me about games :D

Really? complete with own vomit stains?

I mean i can create my own holes but authentic designer vomit stains are hard to come by.

I will probably be getting nothing.

Parents bought me a brand new Corsa SXi for my Birthday which is sort of like my christmas and birthday presents for the next 10 years!

Any money i do get though is going towards my Astra SRi fund.

Ah crud I forgot about Billy Hatcher... guess I'll just have to wait and see.

Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr... is it still likely that MGS: TS will still make it out this year?

I will probably get PC components.

My birthday?

Well, that is before Christmas, so yeah, that applies for both of them.

I probably won't get games for my birthday.

Just a lot of money and a new mini-disc player, or something along those lines.

The money goes to games, though. :-D

This Christmas I shall laugh at how I use the season just to gain presents and have family arguments rather than celebrating something I don't believe in, and then ask for money.

I would probably ask for MGS.

I give my parents a list of games I really want, and they usually pick two or three to give to me. That's the surprise.

This Christmas, I'll probably get Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, Viewtiful Joe, Billy Hatcher and Mario Party 5. If I'm very lucky :D
