King Solomon could not have adjudicated more wisely, your honor.

Who else agrees the winter season is best time to play games?

I agree. I have certain dead spots in my day year round where I can play.

While I prefer winter gaming, because it just feels good to stay inside, I think I play more during the summer, because I have more time off work. I basically never start playing anything that requires 40+ hours to finish, unless I'm sure I can dedicate myself to the experience. My day to day casual gaming is almost exclusively arcade. For the past few months I've been mostly playing:
● Magical Drop III
● Otenki Kororin
● Money Idol Exchanger
Plus a healthy dose of Street Fighter III: New Generation. Lately I've been playing it with a PlayStation controller via the Neo2PS converter, which makes it impossible to use kick buttons. It's a fun challenge to play through the game with all of the characters using just punches. Also, I love Baku Baku Animal, but I haven't hooked up the ST-V in a while.

I just watched a great episode about a killer clown.

I also feel there is a certain something about the atmosphere when playing games in the fall and winter. It's the same kind of feeling as laying on the couch with a quilt, a hot drink, and a good book on a crisp Sunday afternoon in autumn. It's a great time to go on an adventure, dive into an amazing RPG (great autumn memories with Chrono Trigger), or just generally unwind with a good game.

Why did you bump a 13 year old thread? How did you even find this?

He must have used the forum advanced search function. I've heard it's pretty good.

Dateline FTMFW.
When the NBC station here was switching affiliation, in the run-up to the changeover they were running Dateline 24/7. It was awesome.

The winters where I live are nasty, so, excluding shoveling small mountains of snow, I do spend more time indoors during that time of the year, although not necessarily gaming. I'd say my habits are relatively steady year round--it's more about what I'm currently playing than the seasons.
I always forget poor Aussies get summer for Christmas. Not having a proper Christmas must suck. Not to mention drop bears and the fact that water swirls the wrong way when going down the drain.

There's nothing like it being below freezing outside and snowing, and you being inside wandering around the mountains of Skyrim.

Got the message, Lach only plays if the temperature's right, i.e. 2(5°)>X. I hope Melbourne gets lucky this Christmas.

Age is just a number. And besides, this was something different than the usual crap and bullshit parody threads that are the norm around here lately. Is it not interesting enough for you?

All trolling aside. I do enjoy watching movies and playing video games more in the winter. Nothing like hanging out with my kid on the couch snacking on something and watching a flick.
Last night I was watching Stranger Things with my 6 year old eating some Popcorn on the couch and with temp being around 50 degrees outside which is far from cold, it still felt different.
I know I'm a bad parent, but she was off from school today and wanted to hang out with me and she likes sci-fi stuff just like her daddy lol.
