You never know, though -- jokes aside, it might be entertaining in some way or other. I've read two books along those lines, just to get a sense for the opposing viewpoint. One was thoughtful, the other was alarmist garbage -- but both were interesting.

Got some Xmas cash so finally decided to buy myself a PSP. Should be arriving in the mail before new year. Now to find some games!
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who loves the Nintendo e-Reader.

I'm learning to make chiptune music in my spare time :P Check out my Soundcloud!

Bought myself Scribblenauts Unlimited for the Wii U and the super slim 500GB PS3 bundle with Assassin's Creed 3. And immediately sold AC3. :P

My family doesn't really do Christmas, but I may get something good from a friend for our Secret Santa this weekend.

A lot of those 3DS games interest me. Definitely want to know what you think of Cave Story 3D, Professor Layton & The Miracle Mask, and Super Mario Sticker Star. :)

I got very few games this year, as I mostly asked for apartment supplies so my fiancee and I would have one less thing to worry about when we get our place. I did manage to get:

Paper Mario: Sticker Star(3ds)
Rhythm Thief and the emperor's treasure(3ds)
3ds points card(hellloooo Crimson Shroud!)

In response to ZenErik's comment, I have to say that Sticker Star is a lot of fun but it is VERY light on the RPG elements, so if you go in expecting a pure RPG you'll be disappointed. Battles are the traditional Paper Mario formula but with a few tweaks that make it a lot of fun. There are no levels, so progression is done zelda style(finding hearts, etc).
