ElTerprise: Maybe it'll show up here at some point but i got my version from Humble. It should be worth noting that the game is quite gory but also really over-the-top :)
A little gore in games never bothered me. Enabling "ludicrous gibs" in ROTT was one of the first cheat codes I ever learned ;-)
Actually, there is
one game, ever, where the violence/gore made me a bit queasy. Dead Island. Specifically, the "head stomp" finishing move. Something about it just felt too weird to me. It almost felt as if I was actually doing it, rather than just playing a game. I don't usually get that feeling.
j0ekerr: Btw. Tomorrow is the night of the magi. Unlike Christmas Eve which is a night to get drunk as a skunk, tomorrow is a day to take it easy and take the kids to the parade.
Which are kind of a big deal because in this "keeping up with the Joneses" country (I had to look that up, the local idiom goes 'Ass I see, ass I want'). If one town has a big thing, the town next to it has to have an even bigger thing.
There's a town that hands out '
jamón' during the parade.
I had to look up the phrase too :-p Makes me think of the Christmas-light rivalries between neighbours here. Makes for some really awesome streets to walk down, when 5 houses are all trying to out-do each other.
I've never really known about the twelve days thing. Very interesting to hear about all of it :-)
