Christmas.
Dec. 27th, 2015 03:11 pmChristmas was the usual quiet, family affair, went to the folks' for a couple of days.
Me and Simon watched a bunch of Christmas telly and documentaries. This year it was MST3K - Santa Claus (which alternates with Santa Claus Conquers The Martians as a Christmas viewing), the Father Ted Christmas special, Qi Christmas special, Bottom - Holy, and some random Christmas special cartoons. Also the Doctor Who Christmas sepcial (natch) and Brave on telly Christmas day. Watched a documentary on wrestler PFergal Devitt and a great hour long show on the history of the BBC Children's department and the shows they produced, which makes me want to watch Magic Roundabout. ALso can't quite believe the Heads & Tails theme didn't appear when talking with Derek Griffiths.
I got a nice mix of stuff. Doctor Who Revisitations 3 boset (that's special editions of Tomb Of The Cybermen, The Three Doctors and Robots Of Death), a Zero Suit Samus Amiibo, a Lego Microfighters At-At (pic below), Doctor Who annual, Doctor Who calendar, Doctor Who Character Encyclopedia a Star Wars tin with activity books and a cardboard Millenium Falcon to build.
Got money from parents and aunt, so bought two games in the sales. Lego Jurassic World which is another awesome Lego game and sometimes you get to be the dinosaurs. It did lead to us speculating about a Lego Sam Neill Adventures game, where you get to play through Lego versions of Damien III:The Final Conflict, In The Mouth Of Madness and Event horizon, just because we want to see Lego Sean Pertwee shouting "This ship is FUCKED!".
Also got South Park:The Stick Of Truth, which is just as hilarious and wrong and hilariously wrong as the telly show. Unlike some other SP games, it looks exactly like the telly show and you get to create the new kid who shows up in the middle of a LARPing session, which is just an excuse for a rude, funny, piss taking JRPG campaign. Several things have really made me laugh, the item description on the soap on a roap including "The rope helps prevent rectal intrusion." being just one.
Managed to cope during the whole time away, but crashed out as soon as I got home. Jsut tiredness though, managed to keep blood suagrs and stuff within acceptable levels over Christmas, which can be difficult at times.
