Boxing day – a day of rest and vidya.

Christmas was a great day! I travelled yesterday with my parents to Dorset to spend Christmas day with my grandparents and ate a marvelous roast dinner (and perhaps a tad few too many glasses of red wine).

With regards to gifts, I got what I had asked for, touhou 6, 7 and 8 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 for the PS3. My brother bought me Afro Samurai also for the PS3, which I had been up playing from midnight to about 6am (probably wasn’t a good idea…). Today on Boxing day, I tried out MW2 and was pleasantly surprised at how the game plays as this is my first CoD game that I have owned before. The SP (single player) mode follows after the story of Modern Warfare 1, which I have not played, however this does not seem to detract from the enjoyment of the game and so far it doesn’t seem like I’m missing out on too much. I played a few rounds on the MP (multiplayer) online which also played quite smoothly (a few issues with server lag here and there but that can vary between different games).

The things I hadn’t asked for were also very nice: some clothes, driving theory aids, men’s cologne and a funny looking mini-sofa with a hole in the middle of it for drinks to rest on with a handy compartment in the back for a bottle opener.

I hope that everyone who celebrates Christmas, in whatever way be it religious or simply to be together with friends/family, enjoyed the day!
