Here's what I did on the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

Thursday I watched the Macy's parade on TV so I could see the Skylanders balloon.  Then we ate food.

Friday we got up early and did some Black Friday stuff.  We mostly buy toys at a good deal and then donate them to Toys for Tots.

Saturday I watched the Penguins of Madagascar movie in the morning.  Then I visited my dad's side of the family in the afternoon, and in the evening I played board games at a friend's house.

Sunday I slept in, and then I put up Christmas decorations outside.

And when I wasn't doing any of that,  I played games and wrote reviews.  The end.

I'd have a hard time giving up all my gaming stuff.  I guess that's why I'm not married yet.

I haven't beated LEGO Batman 3 yet, but it doesn't look like it has a huge Gotham City hub world like the second one had.  Am I correct in that assumption?

On the first game, I picked Bulbasaur.  He was great in the beginning, and when I beat the game and tried to catch all the rest of the monsters I missed, I equipped Bulbasaur with skills like poison, sleep, and stun powders to make it easier to catch them. 

Klonoa: Door to Phantomile was so underhyped.  Actually most of the games I like are underhyped. 

I didn't like Sonic Rush as much as the Advance games for some reason.  Generations is pretty good, though.

Sonic 3 was the first Sonic game I liked somewhat.  Sonic Boom has issues, I just don't think it's as horrible as others have made it out to be.

If I were a Macy's parade announcer, I'd skip all that Broadway stuff they do at the beginning. ;)

They would probably take an existing airplane ride-on toy, stick some eyes on it, and call it Planes. :)

I saw the Pikachu balloon.  There was a Pikachu balloon before, but this was a new one.  He now sports a green scarf and holds a little Pikachu snowman.  And I don't know if they just gave him too much helium in the parade, but the new balloon made Pikachu pretty chunky!

You know what's funny is that I got press releases about both the new Pikachu and Skylanders balloons weeks before the parade.  And when it was shown on TV, the announcers just read the press releases verbatim on the air. I thought that was kind of interesting.  I think I could probably be an announcer for that!  What do you think?

 Do you mean a Planes arcade game?  The last fire fighting arcade game I saw was Brave Firefighters from SEGA.  I love that game!

I never had a Genesis as a kid, but I was lucky to have the opportunity to play them at a friend's house.
