QOTW - Holiday Hi-jinks

What It Do?
I'm spending time back home with my folks this holiday. Had Christmas dinner a few hours ago. We don't do any sort of gift exchange or holiday festivities. It's simply not our style. Really, we just use Christmas as an excuse to consume ridiculous amounts of food.
Murder Simulators
As far as video games go, I played some Espgaluda 2, Tekken 6, GRiD and Silent Hill: Homecoming on the 360. Finished SH:H - it was decent. GRiD is just as unplayable on 360 as it is on PC. Tekken 6 is...well, Tekken and Bob is a badass. So is Alisa. Espgaluda 2 is ridiculous.
Since I don't have access to my PC right now I can't jump into any involving games, so I've been playing various casual games with my mom. She's got her own Steam account now with a selection of PopCap titles. So far her favorites are Plants vs. Zombies, Bookworm Adventures 2 and Bejeweled 2.
Squid All Over Me
I also spent some alone time playing Goo Splat and Hexic on Zune and Squid Yes! Not So Octopus: Squid Harder on PC. Hexic is probably one of the most infuriating casual games on the planet, right up there next to Lumines, Osmos and Lucidity.
SYNSO:SH is something that I probably shouldn't enjoy as much as I do, but it seems to just hit all the right buttons. It doesn't take very long for the screen to turn into absolute nonsense, making it completely unplayable, but for whatever reason it's still wholly enjoyable. The closed captioning makes me laugh too. *shrug*
Consumer Whore
I bought a few games during the Steam holiday sale.
Just a few.

Movie Time
I plan on seeing Avatar on Tuesday. Possibly at an IMAX theater. Possibly INNNN THREEE DEEE!!!. Though I'm not sure if my eyes could handle three hours of omg-three-deee-vision-shut-the-fuck-up. Who knows though. Gotta try it to find out.
