I actually went to a few different stores, but surprisingly they weren't insanely busy.  They were busy, but not too busy.  It was like a busy weekend is all.  Got a few Christmas gifts, but not as much as I'd hoped.  I went out Friday and Saturday.

I first started playing GTA when GTA III came it.  It was the first game I bought in the GTA universe and I have owned every one since then.  I have played the old top down ones.  I have never played Chinatown Wars on that Nintendo system though, only one I've never played.
Title: Re: Christmas 2023!
Post by: Silverwing on 2023-12-03 14:19:27
Well, it seems we are at an impass as I have done pretty much what you did.  I didn't play GTA London though nor the Gameboy Advance game.  But I own all of them from GTA III on up. 

Have you completed all the games? 
Title: Re: Christmas 2023!
Post by: MasterXtreme on 2023-12-03 14:19:58
I did not complete the top down ones.  But I did beat every DLC from GTA III on up to current day.  I didn't beat Liberty City Stories though.
Title: Re: Christmas 2023!

Walmart has this new ad out that mimics the old "Grinch" cartoon and I gotta say they did a great job on it.  Part of me thinks they used a mix of original footage and had the new animators add new bits with the old.  It really flows well though.  If you like animation and animation history, you might like this.  I am sure @NostradamusTheSeer would have some nugget of info to share.

Oh, yes.  Boris Karloff, the voice of The Grinch, couldn't sing a lick, so the famous "You're A Mean One" tune was performed by an uncredited Thurl Ravenscroft, perhaps best known as Tony The Tiger (https://www.google.com/search?q=Tony+The+Tiger.&rlz=1CAXGER_enUS782US783&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8).
(https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/i/a2e03e8a-33a8-47e2-a3e5-0c592d110fba/demhk06-7b52215d-0ca0-4111-a6cc-4b9aeeeeb060.png)
Many people, however, don't realize The Grinch actually starred in two other cartoons: "Halloween Is Grinch Night" and "The Grinch Grinches the Cat in the Hat". I discussed them both here (https://www.deviantart.com/haggismccrablice/art/102-Oct-2013-704351697), in fact, at my BelchBlog.

Here in the South we have our own version: "The Redneck 12 Days of Christmas".


If you keep your Halloween jack-o'-lanterns on the porch so long they turn green and red from mold, and then use 'em as your Christmas decorations, you might be a redneck.

Meh, probably not what she meant....

N-E-Way, here's a classic Christmas ditty I remember watching on TV when I was a kid:

There might be a few members on this forum old enough to remember The California Raisins. They appeared in a number of commercials and their own short-lived Saturday morning cartoon series.
(https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BZDhiMjNiYTYtN2I0Zi00YWI4LTk5MjMtZDU3MTFiZGQ5YWNlXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMjk1MzE1OA@@._V1_.jpg) (https://i.pinimg.com/originals/28/22/85/282285ca5985db3891383f5c27427e40.jpg)

They even got their own toy line.
(https://i.etsystatic.com/22381732/r/il/1b33a2/3221809871/il_fullxfull.3221809871_ljfz.jpg)

Talks of a reboot have been making the rounds for a while now, but the project's been stalled for over eight years, probably because a bunch of Gen-Z'ers thought these guys were a group of singing, dancing turds.      :-\     ;)

Nobody knew what was going on in the 80s for cartoons.  It was a wild time of sell, sell, sell.  Toys, toys, toys.  No storyline or depth.  Kids are dumb.  Just make anything and they will watch it and buy it.

(https://www.nickiswift.com/img/gallery/this-geico-caveman-is-gorgeous-in-real-life-upgrade/intro-1557773178.jpg)
Which is a better caption: "I don't know if it's more racist or sacrilegious", or "Ugg the Caveman died for your sins"?

Truly one of the early 2000's biggest TV misfires, lasting only six weeks on ABC. There were plans to release it on DVD, but execs decided instead to burn all the footage, piss on the ashes, and never talk about it again. [1 (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3175318/?ref_=tt_trv_cnn)]

Merry Christmas across the big pond and everywhere!  xmas^^ <3 xmas^^

I really like it that here in Germany we've got 3 days of Christmas altogether.  ^-^ I just got home from Christmas Eve dinner with my family, tomorrow I'll just spend a lazy day at home, maybe watch one or two Christmas movies, and on the 26th I'll have lunch with my cousins, aunts, uncles etc. which has been a tradition in my family as long as I can remember.

I hope everybody has a wonderful time, no matter how you spend these days! Relax and do things that make you feel good.  :)

I'm pretty sure that is universal. ;D  Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and the day after. ;D  Happy Christmas and have a wonderful time!  I'm at family for dinner as well. :D Spending the night for Christmas morning.


I actually have the entire week off for Christmas and don't start work till next Tuesday, the day after New Years.  All paid by my company.  Any other people get that generous time off?

Yep, three days off for sure.  My work had us stop working last Thursday and we don't get back till next January 2nd.  All paid time off.  My previous company gave us paid vacation every year from roughly December 11th to January 7th.  I loved that job.   [excited]

Feh, there's a reason.  It's tiring. Everyone's New Years Year's resolutions come down to the same damn hing: "Hey, you know all the [bleep] I said I'd do last year and didn't get around to?  Im'onna try to get all that [bleep]  done this year--though don't hold'jer [bleep]in' breath."

Well 2023 is gone, and I say good riddance. If anyone here happened to have a great year then by all means, that's amazing. I'm happy for you. But for me it was not a good year. There were pros. I got a little raise at work and I made the decision to go back to college for the first time in over a decade, but the cons definitely outweighed the pros. Between family dramas, deaths, personal problems, moving (AGAIN!) and love troubles that I can't seem to escape from, I say, with a vengeance, 2023 can go rot in hell.

Here's to a fresh start cause I sure as shit need one.

Personally, I see too many people say every year sucks to them.  So what year would they say is good?  If I had to think it over, all things considered, 2023 was not a bad year.  In fact it was quite benine.  So I guess it would be okay.  I hope everyone has a great 2024.
