Are the Holidays going to seem empty to anyone else?

For me, it won't be that exciting. I always imagined being able to brawl over break, but that was shattered long ago. Even so, I'll just be thinking of Brawl the whole time, and everyone near me sucks at smash.

They'll be fine, not having brawl is a letdown, but oh well.

I will attempt to fill the empty void in my heart with Halo 3, Orange Box, Super Mario Galaxy, DBZ BT3, Rock Band, Assasin's Creed, Mass Effect and a crap ton of homework.

:(

Meh...to be honest, last week and this week are the most heartbreaking for me. I'll fill my Christmas void with Halo 3. That'll tide me over until Brawl comes out.

Oh, plus I'm still working my way through Galaxy. I'll have that finished by Christmas, tho. I'm trying to take that one slow to ease the pain of Brawl's delay...

I know what you mean Pluvia, we get treated just as badly here in Australia but we should be thankful we're getting it at all. Anyway I have a life outside a game so I'll probably spend Christmas doing that.

not really, with games like Call of Duty 4 and Galaxy I think I'll be quite satisfied. Not wii related: I'm also pretty sure that I'm getting the Orange Box.

Halo 3, Orange Box, Odin Sphere, and even some older games (Bully, TimeSplitters, Melee, Drill Dozer) are gonna tide me over until Brawl's release, maybe farther than so...oh crap, I'd better go play some of those...

My last two exams are over Thursday.

Then it's nothing but work, work, work, and more work. But hopefully, I shall be content with the various things I requested. Then shortly after Christmas, I shall be visiting my girlfriend for a week! I could care less about Christmas! As long as that comes soon!

I am actually glad of the delay. because my girlfriend is coming up for the entire month of February so we get to Brawl till we die hahaha.

Disappointing? Yes... Heartbreaking? No. I would obviously rather have had the game released earlier but there's still so much else to think about. Number 1, I can't wait to see everybody once we all get back to our home town, always an incredible time of year. Super Mario Galaxy is awesome and getting 120 stars will take a little while. I have yet to finish Resident Evil 4, alhough I don't have much left to do. I plan on getting Super Paper Mario and doing a re-run through of TP. Oh yeah, and uhhh New Years? Nice. Count your blessing folks, it's the holidays. Happy (insert own religion)!

Will the holiday be empty because of Brawl's delay? Heck no.

Between Guitar Hero III and Mario Galaxy (hopefully), Bleach DS (hopefully), family friends, girlfriend and, oh, I don't know, CHRISTMAS COOKIES, I'm set for the break, thank you very much.

It'll be a kinda big void, but I might get a catch card. I have no Smash literate friends so it's hard to get in on Melee without trying to think about how much better Brawl's gonna be...*Sigh*... I'm hoping the wait will be worth it, and I'm sure it will be. I got everything last year so I can't think of too much this year XD. Meh, gonna wing it this year.

I've got Galaxy waiting for me (yes, it's LITERALLY somewhere in my house RIGHT NOW >_<) so I'm set.

Though Brawl would've made this Christmas that much sweeter, Galaxy's totally worth it on it's own. Plus all that general yuletide cheer and whatnot.

Assuming it doesn't get delayed again, Brawl comes out less than a week before my birthday, so that just means my birthday's going to be stellar next year.

They won't be boring, but empty. I'll be finishing up college applications.

Somewhere, most likely existent
The sole fact of Winter Break will make my Holiday very, very happy. Especially at this rate. :p Plus, there should be a few games I'll get, and I still haven't completed Mario Galaxy. 'Tis a shame about Brawl, but oh well. Such is life, right? As long as it's not like Twilight Princess.

winter break would have been a lot better with brawl, but I can live if they're hopefully making the game better, but i can waste my time by getting all 121 stars in galaxy with luigi or playing twilight again

I guess thats the advantage of having all three systems. If I get really borred there are a lot of options.

My roommate has Mass Effect and Assassins Creed that I can play through. And there are a bunch of games that are out that I want including

Uncharted:Drakes Fortune
Blue Dragon
Folklore
Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn
and probably a few more I can't think of, so if I find myself bored I'll go pick something up.

I just finished my last exam today, and I am quite glad brawl didn't make the December 3rd deadline. I would have never studied as much as I did. For Christmas break well it starts today and goes to the 14th of January woohoo! I still have enough to tie me over COD4 (is getting a little old), TF2, and seeing all my friends and family and quite a bit of partying. It will be January 14th before I know it then I can do a 30 day countdown till brawl !

R.M.B. were else?
between galaxy, my new onyx/crimson DS light, dragon warrior monsters: joker, and melee, I will be content. it is dissapointing, but look at the bright side, brawl will be even more amazing come Feb.10th.

Buy Geometry Wars: Galaxies after getting all 120 (+1) stars in Super Mario Galaxy. If those two games don't keep you busy till February, pick up a hardcore RPG for the computer, like Morrowind or Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. :)

Hell, start a game of Civ II or Civ IV - the "one more turn syndrome" will make the next few months pass quickly.

Try getting a girlfriend. It helps.

Trust me, I'm not right behind you.
It does kinda feel dissapoint not being able to play the greatest game at the greatest time of the year. But ah well. And the problem being if I DID have Brawl before christmas I wouldn't even ask for anything else. xD

Lol, yeah it was a pain getting it for me. My idea of a brawl filled christmas and actually playing Brawl now instead of going online here, has been shattered. I'll still have a good time, excluding the tons of hw I have, over Chirstmas break.

unlike a lot of other people on this thread, I'll be pretty disappointed. My christmas gift is brawl lol. Maybe if I beg for some other stuff I'll have a SMALL chance of getting them..

So yea. It's christmas in feb for me :]

Also I'm pretty upset about it because My friends have their own christmas to celebrate (with their families), and the only xmas guests we're getting is my parents (who don't really care) and their friend and his wife/girlfriend/Irdc.

lol, but I'm glad others are going to have a better time lol. It's not like I'm suffering so horribly this christmas.. I'm sure people would rather have my kind of christmas over theirs anyday :p

SUPER SMASH BROS BRAWL FOR CHINESE NEW YEAR
(I think.. I'm not even asian lol).
