Some New Holiday Traditions

I & My Best friend Sean have inadvertently started our own holiday traditions and that I have been enjoying very much.

Halloween:

The Crow, when we were younger and inseparable we would watch this movie all the time, It a great movie and has a great soundtrack and we would watch it almost every night before passing out. The whole movie takes place the night before Halloween “devils night” and so now we always text each other the night before Halloween to make sure we will both be watching the movie, this past Halloween however we kicked it up a notch and we were texting back and forth while watching, I had started watching about 10 mins prior so I was a little ahead. I don’t recall why but I was not having the best day that day so this little live movie watching/texting really brought up my mood, I enjoyed it, and will be our tradition moving forward.

Christmas & Christmas Eve:

This year, and hopefully every year moving forward we wait until everyone else is asleep and we get on Xbox and play video games on Christmas Eve until a little after midnight (Christmas Day). It’s a nice way to spend the holiday with a friend when life is too busy to meet up and playing as the clock turns from Christmas Eve into Christmas Day is even better, we wrap up our game, have cheers, and say Merry Christmas. There is a part 2 however, on Christmas night after all the festivities when the families are asleep we meet up again and play some more Xbox and discuss how our Holidays went. Its something I look forward too, there is a different feeling when it’s a Holiday, I enjoy staying up late, in the living room with the fireplace roaring, the Christmas lights are the only lights on and I’m playing Xbox with my best friend, it’s a great way to spend an evening and the holiday.

I urge you to try to find a similar tradition you can do with a good friend or family member, it’s just one of the things you can look forward to and really makes the holidays even better.

Game: Sleeping Dogs

Sleeping Dogs is an open environment action game set in the crime world of the Hong Kong Triads. The protagonist controlled by the player is Wei Shen, a Chinese-American police officer who returns to the Hong Kong neighbourhood of his youth to infiltrate the Triad organization Sun On Yee. In the opening scenes he quickly hooks up again with his old friend Jackie Ma who introduces him to the Triad boss Winston Chu. Even though many characters still remember Shen from long ago, he has to work his way back up. The main storyline has him perform various missions for the organization, starting with simple extortion quests with the local merchants. These quests have to be followed to make available new missions and open up new parts of the city, but a role-playing element allows Shen to choose his own path. Three types of experience points can be earned: Triad, Cop and Face. The first two determine Shen’s devotion to either the Triad or the police respectively, based on his actions. The third is an overall experience system that determines Shen global reputation. Leveling up opens up new upgrades through a skill tree system. Players are free to leave the story behind and explore the city at their own leisure.
