Merry Christmas to you all

[mjs warlord]

Well its that time again so i gonna give the pc a rest for a few days.
Another year of fun and laughter and gamers helping gamers.
A merry christmas to all the regulars and those who just pop in now and again.
I am not going to name individuals cos you all know who you are and if i miss anybody out i wont hear the last of it lol.

You are early... I can tell as its only 1:18am here... on the 25th.

Have a good break

Merry Xmas to everyone else, while I am here

As i write this, its still Christmas eve here in the UK. Not likely to get any gaming done. I've got family over and i'm probably going to spend my evening watching the wallace and gromit movie and glued to the tv with a large mug of tea and find solace in it all.

That said, Path of exile typically gives away a lootbox on christmas, so there is that to look forward to.

Anyway, have a merry christmas and a happy new year. Hopefully we'll wrap this crazy year on a positive.

Happy Holidays everyone!

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I've been having a lot of trouble getting enough sleep the last few days and somehow thought it was Christmas Eve yesterday, so my kid already opened all of her gifts. We only have a package left from my in-laws that arrived today, but I have no idea what it is or who it's for (though I assume it's for my kid as well).

I guess this goes here

When I was a kid I mostly played with Lincoln Logs and Tinker Toys for building things. Also had a set of Giant Tinker Toys. which was cool.

Merry Christmas to you all from the UK. I've now opened my presents and got some Lego models to build . The rest was clothing which I actually needed but that's what you get when get older!

 

[Pifanjr]

The package from my in-laws turned out to be a whole bunch of framed pictures of us and our kid that we can stick on our walls, which is a nice gesture but I'm not sure where we can put them.

How does one acquire the patience to assemble Legos? I have had the 3600 piece Lego grand piano for a couple of years and have managed only the first bag (out like 22 bags I think).

Apart from Lego we had Meccano which was kind of like Lego Technics but made out of metal back in the 80's.

Interesting, for some reason I thought a Lincoln Log was a dessert of some kind.

I had Lincoln Logs, Tinker Toys, but do you remember the Erector set? That was some serious building!

@ZedClampet If that sounded snarky at all it wasnt intended.

I just made a Yule Log for Xmas. (It didnt look as good as that one)

The set I got has two models in it and is only 800ish pieces. I can't imagine a 3600 piece lego set!

My kid got a lego tour bus for Christmas. She started complaining after putting together the first ten pieces. I finished the last half of the first bag by myself and put everything back in the box.

Son got me some Helldivers 2 keycaps and they look pretty sweet!

Looking back at my childhood i did not have a scaletric electric racing car layout or a hornby train set , both of mine were battery operated things but i was not disappointed because none of my pals had them either.

I did however have something called a johny seven gun

Johnny Seven Gun

There comes a point in every little boy's life when he decides, in the style of John Rambo, he wants (read has to have) a toy gun. And there com...

I was the only kid in the street that had 1 , the springs in the weapons were really powerful and if 1 of the weapons hit you then you certainly knew about it. I dont think health and safety issues would allow them to be sold now.

Sorry I'm late, Merry Christmas!

My oldest got the RC Rock Crawler they were excited for and I must say, I think I'm just as excited to play with it as well...

My parents also bought us $800 worth of tires for one of our cars, so that was much appreciated.
