I'm returning home to Germany on christmas which means I will have a good computer again ;) So I guess I will rip the hell out of Black Ops. I already bought it but I can't play it on my laptop.

Until then I will own you all in Tetris Battle on Facebook :lol:

I have a load of old games to finish so...
Forbidden Siren-PS2 8-)
Obscure-PS2
Sonic Heroes-Gamecube (damn its hard!)
Final Fantasy 6-10-ps1/ps2(I know haven't beaten them gotten far though)
Silent Hill 4-Xbox

I will probably end up playing through the Silent Hill(1-3) and Resident Evil(1-3) games as I have such a strong feeling of nostalgia for them I end up playing through them at least once a year. I also have a lot of programming to do so we shall see how far I get with them.

My laptop can't handle FFXIV, so I'll probably end up playing some Minecraft (don't have it yet though), and lots of NES and Genesis games on my phone. Of course, my break is the 24th through the 2nd, and half of that time will be spent recording music, so it's not as if I won't be otherwise occupied. But for at least 2 days, I'm pretty sure Minecraft will happen.
