Well let me put it this way. The last 2 years in a row New Year has essentially been "Which game can I play that is loud enough to drown out the drunken racket".
Yes its a new year, that is a good reason to celebrate. But my idea of celebrateing isen't sitting around getting so drunk I don't even remember it.
I spent 2010 new year having a massive online BF:BC1 session with mates.
I spent 2011 new year having a massive online TF2 session with mates.
Odds are I'll be dragging mates over to Freelancer for this year since its my turn to pick a game. Either that or GTA:SA-MP.
