I was under the impression that it wasn't out until Febuary in Europe?

you would be correct. however, somewhat miraculously, i was able to play it on the first day. steam updated and it went away the next day, but luckily the .exe for the game is still in my computer, and now i can play it.

the 26th is called boxing day (i'm pretty sure it is in most places?), and people celebrate that how they want to. some treat it as a second christmas day (including my family and i), some do other stuff idk
 
Re: The official 2012 Christmas thread.

Boxing day is when all the specials and sales happen at the shops here in Australia. It's supposed to be about packing away your leftovers from Christmas so you can send it off to the poor and those in need, tho...
 
Re: The official 2012 Christmas thread.

best gift: technically not a Christmas gift, my dad just got it for me because it was on sale xd , a portal 2 collectible turret figure, sunburst colour scheme
next best gift: new Doctor Who special, great special, new companion is coming along to be one of the best, but I still have to say "a Christmas carol" (how can you beat flying sharks) is my favourite special though
and I got (for myself) an iguana leash, sadly my iguana isn't around anymore to ever use it so I put it on my robotic iguana, fits well and keeps it from crawling under things and running out of batteries :P

and (most) stores here are closed boxing day, we have our "boxing day sales" the day after boxing day xd
