Congrats on uni, @vela - long slog that it is, you've said.

Restraining from hashtag masterplan, right now but the thought is there.

Merry Christmas you bunch of Badgers. Thank you to all of you. Especially the FNF bunch for keeping my spirits up.  Thank you to Eric for the snide software and thank you to stoph for the secret Santa sorting.  Ive met quite a few of you this year, and I can honestly say I'm happy to have done so. I'm not sure the feeling is mutual but I would happily buy you all a pint, and I look forward to meeting new and old in the new year.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

Merry Christmas all.

G sums it up, not much more to add. Just want to add that this a forum where people I've not talked to in years bent over backward to help me get a VISA which, in turn, led to a scholarship. Simply put, without you lot I wouldn't be where I am in my life, no exaggeration. It was a genuinely life changing contribution and I continue to be touched not just by those who helped but by the number of people who PMed me immediately offering to help.

The community also gave me free games - Soul Sacrifice (love it!) and Dark Souls (love it!) the 2 most recent examples - and took care to make sure the inaugural Premier League Guess thread got through the whole season without skipping a beat (which is basically contrary to the laws of Fantasy Football style threads and activities).

If there's one or two things I regret, its that I wasn't able to see that many of you last time in the UK, and that my gaming habits have thus far prevented me from joining some of you online. However, i'll be grabbing a PS4 after I get back from the UK in Feb so hopefully I can rectify both those things in quick succession.

In the words of Chinese Santa 圣诞节快乐！

Genuinely love you all.

Merry Xmas all.

Not doing much ourselves. Saw family a few weeks ago in the UK, and it's not Christmas here.

Still trying to do the dinner.

Merry Christmas everyone.
Hope you all have a merry little time. x

Merry Christmas, badgers.

I wub you all.

Merry Christmas, Badgers

I wish I enjoyed spending time with my extended family that are always around for Xmas. I don't mind some of them but the fun ones live hours and hours away and never make the trip.

Merry Xmas all, lovely words from G earlier, thanks. 

If anything, this year has taught me that you really do get out what you put in, when it comes to the forum. I wish I had the spare time to be able to game with more people from here, as it's been great fun when I've had a chance to. Team Clueless deserve a special mention for embracing me with their patience and humour. 

You're a genuinely lovely bunch.

Merry Christmas everyone!

This is a forum like no other and an absolute gen of a community. Thank you to everyone for the kind words during times of difficulty, I cannot begin to describe how helpful they were.

I hope everyone has a great day no matter what they are doing. As for me, I have some 200 hours of MGS 5 to begin...

Have a great one badgers

Big shout to all who helped me get h5. Big shout to ds for yarring any time I ask. And 3ne too. Smoothe da hustla. Fuck yeah.

Big shout to you all for various things.

In the words of my mum in law last night - and no context fixes this ridiculous statement - "remember, Santa was the first terrorist."

I'm the other way I think.

They're is a distinct theme to the pressies from the missus this year. Whisky glasses, whisky stones, tasting set, whisky marmalade, mustard, chocolate... and a GoT boxset to imbibe them along to. Cheers!

Merry Christmas you magnificent bastards. Have a good one.

Allah is Admiral Ackbar! Time to face the mountain of food challenge. I may not survive this. If I don't make it, know that I loved you all. I leave you my wah wah pedal and my bar tab to divide up as you will.
