I hope you guys get rid of some of your swag for a good cause tonight. Child's Play is a great foundation.

While it's a shame you won't be able to game, not gaming because you'll be in Australia is not a bad deal. Have fun under the sun and soak up some rays while us New Englanders are stowed away inside or on the cold mountains.

No gaming to January? Screw that! Sneak a console or two with you if you must!

I'm getting a job in federal law enforcement, it's 16 weeks of training, that's atleast 16 weeks of no consoles AKA 16 weeks of hell. =(

But it'll be worth it in the end. =)

@TexasJack: yeah, my cousin's boyfriend has been in basic for a while right now, i'm sure it's freaking killing him only because he probably doesn't have access to any games.

@Cerabret100: Basic must be horrible. Then you have to go to your advanced personal training(can't remember what it's called, just that they train you for your specific MOS). Since I never enlisted in the military, I can't really say what you are and are not allowed to have, but I think all they let you have is a laptop with cruddy net access(one of my closest cousins was in the Army, and we communicated very sporadically via MSN while he was in training).

For those that do not know what an MOS is, see this link. [www.wisegeek.com]

It sounds like an ideal opportunity to crack out a PSP for the downtime...

That said, I wouldn't want you to miss the giant poisonous spider waiting under your toilet seat due to you being distracted by a speed-run on half-minute hero!

@Cerabret100: lol... come on, Australia, especially it's rural areas, are famed for gargantuan killer spiders, the likes of which plague the sewers of Raccoon City! It's common knowledge!

(pictured above: a typical Australian spider on vacation in Britain)

I wish I could take some vacation time but there's too much to do at the office.

@Bouchart: No kidding. I've billed out 100% of my working time this week and was damned close to that for the two weeks prior. WTB SOME SLOW TIME!

@Mardoch: I work just a simple entry level office job, 9-5, but it's been so busy lately trying to do a bunch of last minute stuff for the managers and directors, and this will continue through the end of the year.

I don't blame them for it because they are really busy too, but they get to take vacation time but I have to stay in the office as layoff-protection.

Perhaps now would be a good time to grab yourself a PSPGo.

@-MasterDex-: Or a DS for that matter. Although I guess what Brian means is he won't get proper "console" gaming... and i guess besides some slow moments won't be able to play handhelds either.

I'd easily trade all the winter gaming I'll be doing for a month vacationing in Australia.

This happened to me. Twice.
One night, I play about 30 minutes of some game, next day, Power Supply is dead.

You're lucky. My supply took my 360 with it in its death throws.

What happened to the formatting. Did Kotaku RROD?

Kotaku runs on dedicated Xbox 360 based servers.

Did not like the news.
