WRUP: A cup of cocoa
It's time to slow things down.
What's everyone playing?
Alexander Sliwinski (@Sliwinski, Twitch): Getting some Smash Bros. in with plenty of Far Cry 4.
Anthony John Agnello (@AJohnAgnello): Being back in my family home for Christmas, I'm missing most of my modern gear. But! It means I've got expanded access to my vintage gear. Hooking up my old school PS1 to the CRT in my parents's basement, plopping down a stack of '90s imports, and going to town: that's my Christmas future. Einhander, Sailor Moon Super S, Silhouette Mirage and Street Fighter Alpha 3. Bring it.
Danny Cowan (@db_cowan, Twitch): I'm going to continue Sunset Overdrive and check out Danganronpa. Then I'll move on to the Christmas presents I bought myself: Castlevania Bloodlines and Mega Turrican for the Genesis.
Earnest Cavalli (Twitch): Christmas is a time for giving, which is why I'll be spending the holidays giving severe beatings to wild critters in Pokemon Omega Ruby before stuffing them inside cramped Great Balls. I may also spend time with Far Cry 4, assuming I can convince my cat to not have a psychotic break every time a honey badger starts chittering nearby.
Jess Conditt (@JessConditt, Twitch): Shovel Knight!
Ludwig Kietzmann (@LudwigK, Twitch): [...]
Mike Suszek (@MikeSuszek, Twitch): I realized that Broken Age and The Banner Saga are on my iPad, so I'm diving into those in a big way. Hope everyone had a happy holidays!
Richard Mitchell (@TheRichardM, Twitch): I keep promising I'll start Dragon Age, but I'm just drawn to other games first. On my list right now are Never Alone, Road Not Taken, Gods Will Be Watching and much, much more Hearthstone than I was anticipating.
Sinan Kubba (@SinanKubba, Twitch): It might be more prudent to ask what I'm not playing.
Sam Prell (@SamPrell, Twitch): I always like sharing my hobby with the family, especially Grandma, who is always impressed. I think Fantasia will be fun for everyone, and Alien: Isolation will be a joy for Dad to see.
Susan Arendt (@SusanArendt, Twitch): Might dive into Costume Quest 2 (yes, I know, wrong holiday, but I missed it when it came out) or Sunset Overdrive. Plan to finish Inquisiting those Dragons, too. (The one in Emerald Graves is so pretty!)
Thomas Schulenberg (@T_Schulenberg, Twitch): I'll play Super Smash Bros. between bouts of eating way too much.
Xav de Matos (@Xav, Twitch): Sunset Overdrive and Dragon Age: Inquisition are two of the games I must play more of before I can finalize my Best of 2014 list. Off the grid: I've got piles of board games to play, including copies of Doom and Colosseum!
