Christmas: we’re calling it
Before I descend into writing stories about some mad woman that called the police because her son was playing GTA in the middle of the night, I’m going to stop for Christmas.
As you’ve no doubt noticed, our post-rate’s dropped off steadily over December: Steph’s taking a well-earned rest; Nathan’s doing whatever it is Texan students do over the Holidays; Johnny’s getting ready to start full-time in January, and I’ve got a houseful of screaming people. This year’s dead to us.
If anything earth-shattering happens over the next couple of weeks I’ll stick it up. If not, I’ll hibernate. I want to say a giant thank you to all our readers. You’ve given us amazing support this year, and it’s not really possible to tell you how grateful I am. We’re here to stay, and it’s all thanks to you.
We’ll be back at full power on January 4, 2010. Please have a brilliant holiday. See you next year!

It seems as of this year, I’ve decided I hate Christmas.
Regardless, Merry Christmas everyone!

The plan is to be back on January 4th, like Pat said, but something big could happen a couple of days beforehand like this year before we came back full time.
But for now, its January 4th.

By the way, we’re doing a news round-up for when we come back on Monday.
If you have anything to add, do us a favour and stick them in the News thread like a good boy/girl/dog.

Anyone know if there will be a PSN store update today or tomorrow? Just curious due to the holiday as last weeks came early. I’m itchin’ to get my hands on the Hustle Kings (US version due to credit card)

There won’t be a PSN store update until next year.

So maybe Friday then (1/1/10)? That would suck if they skip this week entirely.

They do. Next update is the 7th as Friday is a holiday.

Damn. Thanks Syrok.
Hey, do you think I can purchase a US PSN gift card then use the number to buy Hustle Kings from the UK store? I wouldn’t want to buy it then encounter a problem trying to run it on my US account. Any info greatly apprecitated.

Normally US gift cards will only work in the US Store. Otherwise the game should run perfectly on a US PS3/US account if you manage to buy it using a credit or debit card.

New goal, people. Let’s get this thread to exactly 247 comments before January 4. No real reason, no prizes – but it will amuse me. And we all have nothing better to do.

It wouldn’t be so bad if all the decent games hadn’t been ditched to 2010.

Sure but at least we have some awesomeness to look forward to in the coming 2 months, at least on PC.
Mass Effect 2
Bioshock 2
Aliens VS Predator
Assassin’s Creed 2 (PC)

I blame the lack of wholesome VG247 news which has left my immune system significantly weakened.

I agree. It’s bad enough that nobody out there is doing anything new right now but no VG247?! Fucking communist I tell you…

The problem was not me being ill, the problem was me being ill and STILL doing stuff.
The days before I didn’t get out of bed at all, and I am still feeling shit.

You better be Johnny, you’ll have a fucking riot on your hands otherwise.
Besides, you bastards have had enough sitting around, getting lazy like Caesar, we need to get you broke back in before you get used to leisure. Do you have any idea how hard it would be to train 4 more video game journalists properly?!
Paper training alone is hell on the wood floors…
