A note about the next two days' coverage

by Joystiq Staff { Dec 24th 2008 at 8:00AM }

Much like the mother and daughter you see above (we assume they're family, anyway), we'll be taking it easy over these next two days, catching up on games we missed and enjoying time away from blogging. As such, you'll see a more relaxed posting schedule, closer to our weekend routine. Keep checking in with us throughout the day for updates, but make sure to spend some time with your family, as well. After all, that's what the holidays are all about.

Best wishes to you all and, as always, thanks for reading!

Merry Christmas WiiFanBoy!

You're still going to let us know if RB's DLC is enabled within the next few days though, right?

Can I have the keys? I promise I won't link to any porn or naked Peach pictures...well, maybe a few naked Peach pictures, but I'll festively censor them with Christmas bows and snowman heads.
I'll just write about how great God Hand is, how great MadWorld will be and how you all deserve coal in your damn stockings for not buying Okami.
Douchebags.

I'll help by writing random reviews and scouring the interwebs so obscure news relating to the Wii and another moron who was injured by it.

SPENDING TIME WITH FAMILY IS NOT THE REAL REASON FOR THE SEASON (although it is #2 on the list). (read Luke 1:26-38 if you don't believe me) THIS is the reason for the season:

26In the sixth month the angel(AY) Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named(AZ) Nazareth, 27(BA) to a virgin betrothed[b] to a man whose name was Joseph,(BB) of the house of David. And the virgin’s name was Mary. 28And he came to her and said, "Greetings,(BC) O favored one,(BD) the Lord is with you!"[c] 29But(BE) she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. 30And the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for(BF) you have found favor with God. 31And behold,(BG) you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and(BH) you shall call his name Jesus. 32He will be great and will be called the Son of(BI) the Most High. And the Lord God(BJ) will give to him the throne of(BK) his father David, 33and he will reign over the house of Jacob(BL) forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end."

34And Mary said to the angel, "How will this be, since I am a virgin?"[d]

35And the angel answered her,(BM) "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of(BN) the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born[e] will be called(BO) holy—(BP) the Son of God. 36And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her(BQ) who was called barren. 37For(BR) nothing will be impossible with God." 38And Mary said, "Behold, I am the servant[f] of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word." And(BS) the angel departed from her.

a lot of people forgot what christmass is really about due to the commercial needs of salesmen...I mean seriously

Dennis @ Dec 24th 2008 6:43PM

what makes your religion (conceived of at the turn of the last millennia in some random place in middle east) any differ or any more correct than all of the thousands of other religions in the world's history, all conceived upon by humans, in all different places in the world, in all different times of human civilization?

"SPENDING TIME WITH FAMILY IS NOT THE REAL REASON FOR THE SEASON"

No kidding, just ask the Pagans who you stole the idea and customs from.

"read Luke 1:26-38 if you don't believe me"

It's not that I specifically don't believe you, but your source sucks.

Ahhh...the real Christmas spirit is the time to see if your friendship paid off by getting them to buy you presents or spending time with your family by doing favor for them for that one gift you were too poor to buy.

*GO FRIENDSHIP* =D

rouroniJohn @ Dec 24th 2008 4:42PM

enjoy the your break!

but you damn well better be back on friday
with a monstrous amount of news and gifts
for all...well just me is fine.

intro94 @ Dec 25th 2008 1:55AM

ermm no religion can claim that is right or wrong and that is fine, but if you are gonna seriously celebrate christmass dont go around saying is family time while you are jewish for Christ sake.I mean comon, holiday?if you dont believe it, dont celebrate it or distort it, bottom of the line.Is just that some people just take advantage of a celebration in order to make money or whatnot while they dont give an assrats about what is about.And that is a disrespect for the religion some people practice.Think of people taking sacred Islamic days and distort it to sell and have a free day or hannukah if you will.Is not claiming that is right, is claiming that if you are into it, be honest about it.Everything is about mutual respect, believing or not.
