Dug deep into Dark Souls 2 PS4 this weekend. Got to so many more areas of the game than I ever did on my first attempt! Finally got to the bottom of the hole in Marjula and met the Rat King! Currently dying in the Gutter...
I was happily playing Mario Kart and Darkest Dungeon, but I decided I needed to test Valkyria Chronicles just to see if it installed properly and was going to play on the PC... and now that seems like the only thing I'll be playing for a while. God this game good.
My WiiU just showed me a Splatoon Miiverse comment by someone calling themselves Bobovic "Wii ROCK, pop sucks!" or something like that. IGA if this is you, that is so lame! Just talk to the hand.
Also Travo said something about Burger Time. I didn't get it but it was still cool!
Played a bunch of Halo 5 single-player after it came out, but now, with the release of most of the final DLC for Arkham Knight, I've been going through that game again. I'm going to 100% it, which is a very rare thing for me to do. But what can I say? I love Batman.
I've also been playing Minecraft off and on, usually while listening to YouTube videos. At some point I'll need to get back to the Witcher series. I think not having adequate computer hardware when I got Witcher 2 really put a damper on my anticipation and enthusiasm (it doesn't help that it's very different from the first game) -- and now that Witcher 3 is out, that lack of motivation is compounded, especially since I hear that that game is huge. I haven't had much anticipation for games in general recently, though. For example, thinking of MGS5 or Fallout 4 just makes me think "Meh, I'm sure I'll play them someday." Heck, I haven't done as much as I want to do in New Vegas or Skyrim, and here I'm thinking about THREE games with gigantic worlds (Witcher 3, MGS5, FO4). It's ridiculous, the pace at which big games with big worlds are released. I feel like I'm suffering burn-out on games that don't offer relatively quick experiences. Batman is the exception, and that's just because it's Batman.
Played a bit more of Fast Racing Neo. I actually completed a cup in the subsonic league (equivalent of 50cc) and placed second (and would have been first if I didn't have an awful race on the final track which required boosting in order to make certain specific jumps otherwise resulting in a crash). Good game. I like that there are no weapons.
edit: Played a couple more cups. Really loving this now. It is such a throwback to nineties electronic culture. The soundtrack is full of pumping but lush progressive house and trance tunes. The tracks themselves evoke desertscapes and forests where one could easily imagine a huge rave taking place. These guys know their stuff. It's giving me goosebumps and making my chin hurt.
You may have noticed on my Website Editors and Game Devs Top Ten for 2015 list, Box Boy showed up a few times. I can confirm, with it's clever game play and perfect minimalist art style, YES, it is as good as everyone claims it is!
What I got for Christmas was the Dark Knight Trilogy on Blu-ray, Batman Vol 2: City of Owls, Batman Vol 3: Death of the Family, Green Arrow Vol 4: The Kill Machine, Green Arrow Vol 5: The Outsiders War, Justice League Dark Vol 1: In the Dark, Harley Quinn Vol 1: Hot in the City, and Harley Quinn Vol 2: Power Outage.

What about you, Hollows?

Played some Xenoblade Chronicles X, Yoshi's Woolly World, and Killer Instinct.
Playing Yakuza 5. Also dropped in on Mario Maker, Pillars of Eternity, Grow Home and Splatoon.
Mario Maker may be my least favorite game of the year.
Played a good bit of Dying Light and more multiplayer of Splatoon.
Dirty.

It was during Splatfest and you chose your side, burgers or pizza. I chose burgers and alluded to Burger Time. Can't remember what I said. Lol
Bah, I haven't been able to partake in the last 3 Splatfests
Spent my time playing Bravely Default. I think I'm nearing the end, although I suspect it still is many a hour off.
Been playing Splatoon and completing The Swapper.
Trying to get back into Never Alone.

Well you always injure our pride so let's call it even. Hope you enjoy going to Denver and losing.
Or they can wait to lose to the Panthers at the Super Bowl.
