	Christmas: The RPG huh, nice episode :) Since we're inviting guests to our own house I'll try to counter-act each and every of these moves! I wonder if this makes me the arch-enemy or the DM. Hmmm...

	Wow I gotta say that was a video I didn't expect to see.

Monshroud	10 POSTED: 22 Dec 2009 18:49
	This was a pretty awesome episode... I loved the adding bacon to everything bit and also the avoiding infected to get cookies. It was bloody brilliant. Although that bit about Big Daddying your Little Sister sounded a bit...... dirty..

	Well with my family I'm pretty much playing it on easy mode so i think i'm relatively safe. I have to watch out for my level 80 grandparents though, they could cause trouble.

	So what am I going to do with this P90 I have? Thought there would be a run and gun section in there...

Onyx Oblivion	16 POSTED: 22 Dec 2009 19:59
	Where are the "kills"?

Tharticus	17 POSTED: 22 Dec 2009 20:00
	This is an good and creative video I must say. I wonder if we still going to get the Escapist Show back on track or this is official?

LordCuthberton	18 POSTED: 22 Dec 2009 20:15
	That was good! Enjoyed it!

Although that bit about Big Daddying your Little Sister sounded a bit...... dirty.. The zombie level sounds awesome. However I'll be playing in versus mode, so I'll be infecting as many people as possible and deliberately blocking the cookies, so sue me. Yes, that Bio-Shock reference sounded creepy to me too.

	dalek sec: So what am I going to do with this P90 I have? Thought there would be a run and gun section in there... Clean-up has an optional side mission for that.

	I like it. I remember using some of these tactics when I was a kid. Now I just don't go to parties.

paralost	27 POSTED: 23 Dec 2009 03:21
	here's what i do for my 5 holiday survival rules 1 preparation: have hidey-hole ready with all the cool gifts you've already opened on christmas morning. 2 arrival: now this one is dangerous but also very important. now what you do is never,ever, ever greet the first to arrive. if you do that prepare for small talk and heavy doses of infection. the trick is too wait till a large group of people have gathered then dun dun dun GREET EVERY ONE OF THEM. yes this is near suicidal but make face time now so later they wont ask where is Enter Name Here. don't worry small infection sites can be cured with some combine eggnog http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/comics/stolen-pixels/6914-Stolen-Pixels-152-A-Very-Combine-Christmas-Part-1 3 entertaining: grab your food either first and early or last when everyone is too busy eating. then either surround yourself with people of your age group. if you have no one or just hate everyone in your family be glad for step one. diverge to hidey-hole but remember always have an emergency escape. just in case. 4 farewell: one of the safer levels. you can remain in hidey hole or actually go out and say goodbye knowing you probably wont be seeing most people till next christmas... or a funeral 5 clean up: the escapist way is pretty much how everyone does it or you can "go to the bathroom" for an hour or convinently disappear until most, if not all the work is already done. have a happy holidays and merry christmas

	The beginning almost made me stop watching. But I suffered through the cliche, and was pleasantly surprised at was beneath.
