@hellomrkearns#10555 Watching that Swiss Chalet commercial was the Christmas present I didn't know I needed.
Unexpected cozy memory nostalgia is the best nostalgia.
You never stop delivering the goods, Mr. Kearns.
Fans of Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast will know this one
I am going to play Dynamite Dekka for the first time soon. I have it loaded up ready to go.

@hellomrkearns#10722 this is indistinguishable from tim and eric's chrimbus special
@treefroggy#10738 nice! There aren‘t that many Christmassy games that I can think of, but here’s another: Jetpack: Christmas Special
Blue Stinger is maybe my favorite game with Christmas trappings.

@hellomrkearns#10652 God, I remember these with some deep part of my being that I wasn't even aware still existed. Thank you.
I love the idea of Santa and Scrooge being college-style roommates, and even before reading @yeso's comment, I thought, "This Santa struggling to understand the ravings of muffled children's voices may as well be John C Reilly."
I can't believe I forgot to mention Toy Commander as I literally gave a talk about it in January

My favorite Christmas movie is The Santa Claus. I grew up with it and it just puts me in the Christmas mood.
Lately I've been starting up a Snatcher playthrough around Christmas time since technically it's a Christmas game haha.
Oh and every year I play Christmas nights and try to get all the presents before Christmas time.

Awesome Rankin/Bass 4 hour compilation with commercials! Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, The Little Drummer Boy, Santa Clause is Coming to Town and Frosty the Snowman.
@robinhoodie#10793 I have so many fond and frustrating memories of Toy Commander. Definitely a great holiday go-to for the Dreamcast.
My first bump into it was with a Dreamcast Magazine demo disc, I instantly fell in love with the potential of it, and eventually would get it either for my birthday or Christmas (they're pretty close together). Sucked at getting most of the objectives done, but I loved just freely wandering around the maps and just exploring a large house's vents, crawl spaces and other little nooks and crannies as a toy. Kinda wish there was another experience like it now.

Here's some more horribly manipulative Christmas commercials. This probably just says a lot about me, but something about these ones in particular does something to my brain. Ad companies have got real good/bad about these in recent years, but these are ones that will forever have a place in the back of my head.
For anyone doing the right thing and staying away from malls this year, put this on and get that authentic vintage anxiety.
It took so long to get to christmas nights!!!
That‘s what I’ll be doing but I should also maybe play raw danger finally (I only played disaster report)
I need to finally unlock sonic in xmas nights and witness the face of a spiny god
@exodus#11013 The speedrun route for Sonic is just bizarre, since there‘s no proper path that you have to follow. That, and there’s something very not right with Robotnik - he accelerates slightly with every throw, making the boss nearly unbeatable at a certain point.
That being said, it's such a fun remix on a handful of NiGHTS ideas, packed with bonuses, and dang, do I wish any other game would put out a disc like that (especially Xmas themed).
A free Sega Genesis game for Christmas. Inspired by SkiFree
