Holiday Gaming

The Holiday season is coming to a close, everyone has unwrapped everything from under their Christmas tree, Hanukkah bush, or your appropriate holiday celebratory vegetation.

Tell us fellow Ninjas – What did you get?  What did you give?  What have you been playing?  Anything left on your wish-list?  Hit up the comments and let us know.

I’ll start off by saying aside from various DS games I’ve been flat out on Fallout 3, soon to get a gift from me, to me, of Left 4 Dead.

A Bad Gift Idea

The Holiday Season can be a particularly trying time for the friends and family of the tech-geek.  We usually buy anything we want the day it comes out because we’ve been waiting for well over a year since it was originally announced.  I usually end up with a shit load of Best Buy gift cards which is perfect because it allows me to buy the newest games and gadgets as they come out throughout the coming year.  But, this is somehow unsatisfying for my beloved wife and family because they feel like gift cards are thoughtless and lame, I don’t but they do.  So in an effort to fulfill their shopping desires I took a look around the good old internet to try to find something that may have flown under my radar this year, and I did.

I came across this voice changer on gadget_brado.com and thought that if it really works it could provide hours of fun.  Alas the joy of calling your best friend to tell him that he has herpes without the pain of having to disguise your voice as some clinic worker.  The only problem is that the person that you think this would be the perfect gift for is the person that should least have it.  So, while this may make my wish list this year, I’m not buying it for anyone.
