The other day my mom asked me what I wanted for Christmas this year, and for the first time in my life, I actually had to stop and think about the question. In years past I would have had a list the size of Declaration of Independence filled with different video games, but something is different now that I’m older. Ever since I’ve had my own money and a driver’s license, I’ve never had any hesitation when it came to running down to Gamestop to buy a game on the day it came out.

Thats where I went wrong. As great as it is to be able to get a game on the day it comes out and go right home and play it for the following eight hours, lately I have been missing the joy of opening up a game Christmas morning,  because I’ve been buying almost every game that comes out during the holiday season by myself. Although, as much as I miss that feeling, I don’t think I will ever be able to make myself wait to play a game ever again, especially with how long it takes to produce games nowadays.

For just a taste of this feeling that I’m talking about. Check out the Nintendo64 kid.
