Christmas Time is Coming
Warning: This has nothing to do with hog hunting.
I have to admit that over the past several years, I’ve been a little jaded when it comes to the Christmas holidays. I can’t help but shake my head and frown at what’s become of this special time of year. Hell, when it gets to people getting trampled and shot for the sake of a good deal on some consumer crap, things are totally out of hand.
Even so, I’ve been feeling a little more of the spirit this year. This keeps running through my head.
And while I’m sitting here decrying the commercialization of the season, I’m also just about to release some reviews of a few video games that might make it on to someone’s wish list. I’ve had the opportunity to try out the Cabelas Dangerous Hunts, Legendary Hunts, and Atari’s new Deer Hunter Tournament. I’m pretty much done with Deer Hunter Tournament, so that one will come this week.

You never cease to amaze, Phillip. Hog hunting, waxing poetic about seagulls, and now reviewing video games?
Americans’ reaction to the holidays is strange and, at times, awful. Unfortunately, it is a glaring realization that we are just like everybody else in the world, as I am reminded of tramplings at religious sites and soccer games. Christmas is better as a rural holiday, where folks think about what loved ones want, and then try to make it for them, all the while thinking about the sacrifices of others for us… and usually, drinking heavily. Okay, so maybe us rural folks don’t have the market cornered on vice-free holidays.

It is pretty sad how everyone has lost track of what Christmas is really about.
I’m really curious to see your video game reviews. I never thought of you as the video game type.
