Most people have favorites like Skyrim or snow levels in games like Super Mario 64. Well since I’m weird af mine is Half-Life (1) on the ps2. I first played it around Christmas in the 2000’s, the exact date I rented it escapes me. So this year I’m feeling nostalgic again and fired it up in PCSX2 with native mouse and keyboard support.
It’s a pretty good port all things considered, if you don’t want to pay Valve money or pirate a copy from somewhere. Vimm’s has it in their catalogue of games.
They’re waiting for you Gordon, in the test. chamber.


So my Christmas games are usually Paradox games, since they get a ton of updates throughout the year. But in the period between Christmas and mid January, they are basically frozen in time. So, its a perfect time to play my map painters. This year, well play EU5 and return to Vicky 3.
Mind you I play these games all throughout the year but Christmas time is a focused effort for me cause I have like 20 days off.
