It has been thoroughly documented that the best video game released over the past year was Splatoon. It combines all of the elements of a great game (squids, kids, famous pop stars doing the news broadcast every few hours, a cat, choices in attire) and lets you ink turf and/or other inklings. If you haven't played it already, you probably stopped reading this to go get one for your WiiU.

A sign of a really great, well-thought out gift is one that you probably would have bought for yourself at some other time of the year. My Santa did just that, and I couldn't be happier! The pillow I received from my Santa is a wonderful addition to my own personal Booyah Base (the guest bedroom where I have my WiiU set up.) I am thrilled with the thoughtfulness, and I thank my Santa for taking part in this exchange! My love for this gift is louder than a Killer Wail, and makes my home feel like it was right in the center of an InkStrike. Thank you, Santa!
