Ten gifts Santa gives to bad gamers instead of coal

We all know that good ole Saint Nick only gives presents to the good boys and girls. But what does he give to the bad ones?

Coal is over rated and can really dirty up his gloves each year. So instead, I think Santa should just give out bad gifts instead.

And nothing is worse to a gamer than receiving a bad gaming gift.

Here’s a list of ten things Santa might give to bad gamers.

• 1. A game based on a kids movie: OK, maybe some are good but most of them are boring, redundant and involve no skill. Plus most are the same exact gameplay with a new name and characters to spruce things up.
• 2. Educational games: Let’s face it, no matter how hard they try to make them fun, they just aren’t. Educational, maybe. Fun? Uh, no.
• 3. Superman 64 (N64): Yay it’s a superman game! Oh, no, it’s the most boring superman game ever created! Darn.
• 4. The Power Glove for NES: Well the glove did look awesome and makes you feel like a cyborg but it was completely impossible to figure out.
• 5. Ghosts and Goblins (NES or SNES): This could be a fun game, for those of you that enjoy being very frustrated and dying every five seconds.
• 6.Ju-on The Grudge (Wii): Again, a fun game only for those with an infinite amount of patience and the best eyes in the world.
• 7. Any game where Shaquille O’Neil is the main character: Unless it’s a basketball game and even then you need to be careful.
• 8. A salad shooter: It’s just such a terrible gift. For anyone, Ever.
• 9. Wireless headset for Xbox 360: I never really wanted to hear what the person on the other end of the speaker was saying anyway. Static is all I need.
• 10. Either Jekyll and Hyde, Friday the 13th or Nightmare on Elm Street for NES: All three of those games were so god-awful that receiving any would be a bad thing.

So if you open up your stocking on Christmas or your brightly wrapped present under the tree to discover any of these items, you know that you have been a bad boy or girl this year. Besides, some of those older games are so old that you’d be unable to pay them any way, adding an additional face slap.

There is always the option of regifting to that one friend that got you a sweater last year.
