Dear Santa...

It's me, your favourite son again. Sorry for not keeping contact for the whole year, but you know me. Anyway, since you still haven't brought me world peace despite me asking for it for decades, I shall ask for a couple of cool gadgets that I spotted.

First, there's Peregrine:

Potentially this could be just awesome. Forget clumsy keyboard shortcuts, the same things can be done quite literally with a snap of fingers! Apparently it's pre-orderable now.

Of course that alone won't be enough, so I'd like a new keyboard to go with it. Like AK-39:

Yep, a military standard wearable keyboard. What could be better for wargames?

It all goes horribly wrong when you hug the edge of the bed and are accused of being gamey.

Gamey ? The victory flags are worth 0 points, by the time the opposition is all set up to go your machine packs up, your off board artillery is short on ammo and what is at hand is wasted on secondary missions by AI, the on board artillery is way too puny for the task at hand, the game ends way too soon when you are woefully short of acheiving goals, the victory conditions are stacked against you and when you finally see how close you were to total victory you can only demand a rematch which will take place in a month or two as it is what suits your opponents mood.

See, Tero? Whatcha need is a young newby who won't recognize what a lousy player you are and will be grateful to have a game going with you at all.

15 year mark coming up with the missus next summer. If I had to learn new tricks with a new opponent I would propably freeze up on sight. ;)
