I was off for the holidays so I spent a lot of time playing (the awesome) Dragon Age Origins!
the december roundup

videogames
...Karen, Mark and Sarah came over early on Saturday evening to hang out and give it a try.
videogames
Verdict (despite Sarah's smile in this photo): Not very fun.

Gurj got through work for free and had it sent to our place because we have an Xbox...

Meredith took this awesome picture of me playing Rock Band by myself on Saturday afternoon. Haha. Hey loser, why so serious?
videogames
Dork bass.
videogames
...playing video games together until the wee hours of the morning.
videogames
Haha.

Meredith and Maddy getting ready to give me my presents!
videogames
...I stopped at Blockbuster, rented a video game and cranked the AC. Meredith was off doing something else...
videogames
...so I got to rearrange the furniture and put my green chair up real close in front of the TV. Haha. Check out my COMMAND CENTER setup: remote, spring rolls, two kinds of M&Ms, cell phone, game controller. THUMBS UP!
videogames
Or, rather, Doug politely laughed while I played Guitar Hero. Haha.
videogames
When we got back to the apt, we played Guitar Hero!
videogames
More Rockband! Happy Wholesome Bachelorette Party!
videogames
Meanwhile, back in the living room, Meredith had broken out Rock Band!
videogames
When the sun went down I got down with a Super Mario Galaxy marathon session. Loved this game. (Almost as much as I love eating personal pizzas!)
videogames
...AND some Rockband.
videogames
Later that night Mandy game over and we played some Wii...
videogames
Instead of forcing Fatty to go to a noody bar in Queens, around 1am we all headed to our apartment and played Rockband. Haha.
videogames
It's a four-player game and we had five people so whoever wasn't playing was in charge of petting Maddy.
videogames
Later that night, Mer went out and I stayed home and I spent the rest of the evening in marvelous rapture playing WORLD OF GOO on the Wii. It had just come out and I was obsessed with it. Such a fun game.
videogames
Meredith was playing Zelda on DS...
videogames
Pretty ladies rocking out.
videogames
Guests started arriving around midnight. Living room Wii party in full-effect.
videogames
NOW! THROW THEM IN THE AIR NOW!
videogames
On Sunday, Pauly and Lisa came over for FAMILY NIGHT and we played more ski jumping on Wii Fit.
videogames
Oh, did I forget to mention that you can sit down at the kids table and play old school NES games after you're done? They even had the light gun!
videogames
And it was good.
videogames
We played Big Buck Safari.
videogames
...you've got to pop up onto your toes...
videogames
...transform into an operatic songbird with a decorative lamp shooting out of your head! (This is basically Lisa transforming into a Dr. Seuss drawing)
videogames
You've got to crouch down just right and then you...
videogames
...now POP UP! I love how in all the photos Lisa can't help empathically participating. That's how immersive it is when you're watching it!
videogames
Matt holding her steady down the ramp...
videogames
... and try to keep your balance while he's "in" the air.
videogames
We got totally obsessed playing the ski jump game on Wii Fit. You have to stand perfectly still on the balance board and lean forward while your skier heads down the ramp. And then right as he gets to the end of the ramp...
