Twas The Night After Christmas

By: Stan2e3 of BPG Better Priced Games It is again that time of year. Time for celebration, and family. A time of turkeys, and hams. A season we all hold close, and share with the entire world. Full of holiday cheer, while little ones sleep by the fire. I see clutched in their hands, my warranties will expire. A warm gentle glow, flickers from the TV. The little angles, have left on the Wii. Looking up from the floor, my eyes could just be tired. But it seems to me, that the tree is not wired. I think to myself, Oh how could this be. When from the back room, come the shouts "PS3"! Back and forth voices go, chanting "no your a liar"! And I had to find out, what made fan boys conspire? I pushed on the door, and peered in curiously. Both boys had plugged in, a PS3/360. My presence now known, quickly they scattered. It was now obvious, that before had not mattered. Standing before them I stopped, and I looked back in time. From Zork and a coke, to a phone call for a dime. Nostalgia swept over, sparkling paper and red bows. I remember Pac-man Final Fantasy, and the Mario Bro's. With the children all gaming, through on in the night. I couldn't help but wonder, for the next year in sight. Will the day come for them, when they stop and look back? Will they forget the great games past, like Bargon Attack? Will it simply be, as the days of Ultima III? Will they ever have remakes, and tell their kids about me? Then one of them spoke, saying,"hey dad whats wrong"? So I picked up the controller, and said,"this won't take long". We played through the night, till the hour of four. I smiled to myself, for New Years would bring more. From my family to yours, and from all of us here. Merry Christmas fellow gamers, and a game filled new year.
