I'm a strong believer in the traditions of Christmas, especially it being a time for family, but typically in my family the only time they get to co-operate in my gaming, or even hear me talk about it, is at Christmas. They want to learn about the stuff they've brought me, or they want to see me play it and enjoy their present, and then sometimes they even want to play - especially with the advent of the Wii, my Family's Christmas get-togethers are even more about gaming than they ever were before.
You'd think Mr Leckie, as a family man, would know that gaming and quality time with your family are things that can go hand in hand. #hotel

...So Let's Flame His Hotel!

¬-This commentor does not promote the burning down of hotels and is merely saying this in jest. Setting Trolls on fire however, is something this Commentor is 78% behind. #hotel

Also if there aren't other kids around they're going to get awfully bored unless they have some sort of activity.
Aha so they might have activities for kids that you'd have to pay extra for.
Smooth move Mr Leckie. I mean it's a hotel, unless they provide board-games to every room there's probably zero group activity inside the hotel (outside yeah there'd be stuff). #hotel

lol you know I'd think he would've banned children had he not had four himself. Videogames do keep them away from other mischief I guess and posh hotel mischief isn't fun for the staff if memory serves me right. #hotel

"I've got a great idea how to make Christmas more pleasant! Deprive children of what they want!"
This man is actually an anti-Santa! #hotel

I completely agree with this policy. I can understand playing your DS in the car/plane/whatever, but holidays are about doing and experiencing things you can't do at home! #hotel

I'm sure the Hotel has a mechanical wind up one that you can rent, and they will help install for a small fee. #hotel

@Komrade Kayce: Oh great, turn him into this why don't you?
That's all we need round here another soulless killing machine trained to destroy on command,(eyes Crecente's hair warily).

Also, no-one seems to care when you sneak a swig or two of your father's ale. #hotel

I mean, yes a family can come together to play some console games. Yet, if you're all going to a hotel or vacation spot, the most likely thing that would be brought is a handheld, and I don't believe the chances of a family wide ad hoc party are high. Though, that would be really enjoyable... #hotel

I'd love to get some pirates to come over to my house, rake up a bunch of leaves then tell them I'm sorry I'm not going to pay them because I was "Just trying before I buy it." which is another oft-used excuse. #piracy

The first Xbox was much closer to a PC than a console. This made it a modder's dream. Not to mention some of the case mods you could do, I've seen some really sexy original xboxes. Microsoft ruined a segment of their market when they locked down the 360 hardware/software so much. They basically made it so the only mod worth doing was for piracy, and took out all the other fun. Which makes modding your console pointless, really. #piracy

I want your stuff, but don't want to pay for it for [insert random righteous reason]. So there for I am entitled to stick it to you my circumventing your profit protecting measures. HOWEVER it is totally wrong for you to stick us back because we are on the moral high ground. #piracy
