Holiday Gamer’s Guide 2009
Nintendo DSi and Misc
My Makeup – I know what you’re thinking. Why is Deacon playing with a game called My Makeup. Well I’m not actually doing the playing. My 5-year old daughter is and she loves it. Need I say any more for those of you with little girls and a Nintendo DS or DSi?
Other DSi titles – My Secret Diary, Hysteria Hospital, My Secret Diary. If you have a daughter like me (and some of you do) then giving her some of the O-Games‘ offerings will make you a good Dad. So I’m totally biased on most of the “girly” titles.
HINT (it’s water) – I was fortunate enough to get a case of this and I caught myself laughing hysterically because after drinking it I said to myself “it’s good and there’s only really a hint of raspberry lime in it”. The name fits quite well as there is literally just a hint of awesome flavor in it when you drink it. There are 10 flavors for you to choose from so you can have a flavor for pretty much each genre you play. Where are my Wii Fit closer players at?
It goes down well during a heated gaming session when you need something beyond a sugar-drenched soda. I hope HINT appears in more stores than it currently does because you guys really have to try a bottle. (hint, hint)

Good list thanks.
I likeed Castle Crashers but never played it enough!
Borderlands, well all of U360 loves Borderlands LOL
Be aware Dragon’s Age is an awesome game but the PS3 version IS better. I opted for that one because the 360 doesn’t look as good and has some other graphical issues. See the Gamespot review for more details.
I need to buy that energizer charge station, I have been eyeing it recently!

boston you should definitely play Castle Crashers its awesome.
haven’t played dragon age, but i saw it on the 360. and it looked really bad. i’ve got it for the pc ( yes pirated i know i’m bad. ) but have only made a character yet. and seen the first dialog. it couldn’t grab me like their other games did.

I actually want a GPS reciever for Chistmas, to go GeoCaching.
December 10th, 2009 at 8:37 am
GPS would be nice. @Nuclear, thanks dude. just remember to drink healthy (you get the hint)
December 10th, 2009 at 9:50 am
Hmmm, never tried Hint. I’d rather have my Jarritos.
December 10th, 2009 at 9:52 am
i’ve never tried any of the “healthy water” myself. Hint was my first and raspberry lime was full of win lol

Deac, i used the “find HINT in a store near you” search bar, and i put in my zip code and this is what it said, “There are no results near your location (34474).” lol wtf, it couldnt say like nearest location: Alaska or something? lmao

Hi all, – stumbled upon your website unintentionally whilst looking around the web this afternoon, and happy that I did! I do like the layout and colors, but I really should mention that I’m having difficulties when it loads. I’m using iCab 3 internet browser for mac, and the header won’t lineup nicely. i’m confident I have employed a matching design on a client’s online site, but the menu seems O.k. on mine. I suspect the error is at this end and maybe it’s time to upgrade!
