Stop stealing my word!

I am pretty sure you gave all of the usage of that word officially to Chaos for Christmas.

I find it funny that this topic turned into a list of presents.
I somewhat agree what what Jake has to say, but I won't know much about the actual 'spirit' of Christmas for a long time.

Here is what the types of 'gamer' mean:

Casual Gamer - A normal person who actually has a life outside the internet.
Hardcore Gamer - Lazy shit who doesn't like moving and who rarely sees sunlight.

I'm the latter.

They all rule. Of course Wii Sports Resort and all those family games suck. It's the stuff like NSMB W and SMG and SSBB that you should get. :P

Wii Sports Resort is quite alright in my opinion. You guys don't like it becuase your all hardcore gamers. I'm more a casual gamer, with a hardcore taste in RTS games.

No, I kinda like it, but it's not one of my favorites by far. And yeah, people, enough with the 'hardcore' shit. Stop trying to classify every little thing. I enjoy gaming, but it is in no way above real life.

He exists when we choose to buy our friend a 360 instead of a Wii.

Hmm. Actually, I think it would be more appropriate if you were to say something along the lines of getting someone a gift that makes them happy, regardless of cost. I wouldn't even imagine buying someone a game system of any kind. I don't even have the money to buy one for myself as it is. Do people seriously spend over a hundred dollars on a single friend's gift? I'm lucky if I can spend $5-10 per person, a bit more for family members. As it is, we have moved to a "no gift" holiday. In other words, our gift to our friends is that they don't have to get us a gift, which we then get in return. This way, because everyone is broke and stressed out and busy, no one has to worry about it. In my opinion, it's probably the best gift you can get considering how freaking hectic the holidays already are. And really, all that matters is spending time with friends and family during the holidays. Getting gifts is secondary to the true meaning of the holiday spirit.

Actually for our families this year, we did just that. We took them out for a fun day. My family we made a nice dinner for them and took them bowling. And for my fiance's we took them to the Reagan Library where they were having a holiday evening. We ate dinner under the wing of Air Force One (the one Reagan used that they decommisioned in 2001). So that was really fun. The memories of those events will last us far longer than any toy or physical gift.

Anyways, I'm sure you were joking to a certain extent. I figured I'd throw in my two cents.
