The kids are listening for sleigh bells…
I’m listening for boss music.

Because let’s be honest: the moment Santa finally appears, the screen fades to black and a massive red HEALTH BAR slides in at the top.

SANTA CLAUS – FINAL BOSS
Phase 1: Chimney entry
Phase 2: Milk & cookies buff
Phase 3: Enraged reindeer support

No autosave. No checkpoints.

Just me, half asleep at 2am, wondering why the boss fight only happens once a year and always on the hardest difficulty.

Right, picture this as a totally accurate, definitely-not-exaggerated eyewitness reconstruction of me over the festive period 🎄🎮

Apparently, while others see a Scottish lad in a kilt hauling a massive log through the Highlands, what’s actually happening is me trying to work through my gaming backlog.

Each game is a log.
Each log is judging me.

And my shoulders are already screaming, “You bought this in 2019, why are you only starting it now?”

I’ll bravely tackle one title, feel accomplished for five minutes… then remember there are another 47 games waiting patiently like:
“Nice effort. See you tomorrow.”

Festive cheer. Mince pies. Family time.

And me, dragging my backlog into 2026 one achievement at a time.

I get a sneaking suspicion that this isn't a great world to live in.

Really getting into at the moment.

The level of detail is astounding and the voice acting is top tier.

Peter Dinklage in could only dream about being this good.

Gotta keep the memes somewhere.

Asking for a friend... who's clearly a master of delegation 😜

After far too long staring at the character select screen like it was a boss fight… I’ve finally done it.

I’ve started playing Diablo IV as a Barbarian.
Big weapons. Bigger shouts. Zero subtlety.

Everything I touch explodes, my armour weighs more than my life choices, and honestly… I get it now.
Bonk first, ask questions never. 🪓🔥

If you see a whirlwind of poor decisions tearing through Sanctuary — that’s me.
