Greetings, Time Lords!

I hope everyone had a great holiday and that you are all geared up as we approach yet another new year.  I had a good Christmas, but it left me exhausted all the same.  Between that and the upcoming festivities I’m putting together to help welcome the earth’s next trip around the sun, I’m taking the week off.  So, there won’t be a regular “Office” installment this week.

But – as always – I can’t leave my fan hanging.  So, for this installment of “The Docks” I will briefly go over the highlights of what Santa was kind enough to throw at me this year.  I got a nice collection of stuff in general, but these are the ones that stand out:

Dead Space for the PS3

Resident Evil who?  No, seriously – this game should come with a change of pants.  Lots of gore and nothing but layered moments of the wiggins.  And I’m addicted.

Chrono Trigger for the DS

A true classic returns.  I never got to finish this when I had it for the SNES, so I was excited to get this for Christmas.  I’ve been playing this game almost nonstop since I got it.  It’s still a remarkable game, and now it has extra Bosses, FMV sequences, and a few other surprises.  Now I get to never finish this for the DS.  I love it.

The Milennium Falcon

I’ve had to cut down on my action figure collecting for the past few months, but I knew I had to get this baby.  It’s a brand new vehicle for the 3 ¾ inch figures.  It’s bigger than the original, and boasts an array of new features, including an escape pod. This sucker kicks ass.  And no, you didn’t see me playing with my dolls again.  Good!

Planet of the Apes 40^th Anniversary Edition Boxed Set (Blu-Ray)

I got this myself with the help of some gift cards and Christmas monies.  All five films, all in Hi-Def.  And the last two are extended cuts.  It’s glorious.  And you know what else it comes with?  Monkeys!  MONKEYS!!!!!  Get your stinking paws on this set, you damn, dirty ape!

And there it is.  Hope this will tide over all of you drunks while you all stand around watching for a light-up ball to fall to its doom.  Here’s to a great and merciful 2009.  See you next week when I go back to the regular grind.

The Don thinks all aquanauts should be forgot and never brought to mines.

Stumble it!
