Well, I sure hope that everyone’s had a lovely weekend. I know I did- starting on Thursday with a giant feast, and continuing on with a full on geekfest of video games, movies, and You Tube videos of impossible Mario levels designed by a sadist. I even FINALLY got to see Portal. With the exception of a pretty bad case of motion sickness, we all agreed that it is indeed as awesome as has been said. On the whole a great holiday weekend…Well. Now with the Official American Holiday Season Opener out of the way, I am forced to turn my attention to what the heck do I get the geeks on my list? There are dozens of things I could go out and snap up (assuming there are any left after Black Friday,) but most of them have already been pre-ordered by my friends. As a result of that sort of thing I DID get to see Mass Effect, and man is it pretty. We only played for about 2 hours before we had to go be grown ups for a while, but I am definitely looking forward to seeing more from that. On the other hand, it means that he already has it.Another difficulty I often encounter with buying gifts for geeks is that I don’t specialize. I honestly don’t know that much about computer parts or software stats or any of that, so I can’t look for lots of specific things for people. I can’t buy my WoW buddy a better graphics card or my music editing friend a new digital recorder. I could, of course, ASK them their opinion on such things, but I think that the surprise of a gift is half the fun.Well, whatever I do, I’m sure it’ll be appreciated. Maybe I can make everyone an 8 slot bag… everyone needs someplace to put all the loot, right?
