It was missing a backwards-facing baseball cap…

But, the rest of the scene was about right!  Last night, Vern and I played “LEGO Star Wars” on the X-Box: He had given me the game as part of my stocking, and we had a really great time geeking out, drinking beer, eating too much candy, and generally giving our light sabres a workout over a few hours.

You’d almost think I was born with boy chromosomes.

But, thankfully, when Zoe called me this morning, she let me know she loves the game as much as Vern and I enjoyed it last night… So, it’s not just me.

Now I just need to find some cheat codes, because we’re totally stuck currently escaping from Naboo.

How was everyone else’s day-after-Christmas (aka Boxing Day in Canada) yesterday?

  • Dave2 says:

    I totally love that game! Unfortunately, I never have time to play it. :-(

    The NEW Star Wars (Original Trilogy) has Santa Claus as an unlockable character!

    Wow. It looks like I’m still out of the loop with games. I occasionally play Sushi Samurai (on cbc.ca)and Bejeweled but I’ve only tried an xbox game once at a friends house.

    For boxing day I went to chapters, discovered that it was 30% off for hardbacks and I had a gift certificate for $25 so I only paid 93 cents for David Suzuki’s autobiography!

    Hey found you via Michele’s, I was touched by the parents story and the way people rallied together the true spirit of the season I think ;)

    I have to stay away from video games… I might not come up for air!

    Michele sends her best…

    Hey thanks NetChick ;) Really appreciated the feedback and have adjusted commenting accordingly ;)

    It does amaze me at times how great some people can be in the blogging community on a whole. I had forgotten how therapeutic this can be.

    Sounds like a nail-biting edge of seats time.

    Nothing better than slapping some Jawa’s. It made me giggle like a little girl every time I did it.

    That, and being Han and getting to slap Chewie a couple of times.

    What is it with me and slapping? I think I just liked the sound in the game…

    oh, i got Need For Speed Carbon which I can’t stop playing… (for the PC). Boy, I wish I had an x-box… :-(

  • NetChick says:

    Takes one to know one, Shnewt! …and, your X-Box says hello. LOL!

    I love playing that with Daniel! Great Game Tanya. I’d love to get the new one now. I just finished a couple of hours with Daniel trying out his new one “Incredibles”. Also great fun. ( On nintendo Game cube though). I’m glad you had a good Christmas. Me too! :)
    take care
