As we all know, Christmas can be a really stressful time. Presents need to be bought, decorations need to be hung, food needs to be prepared and visiting the family needs to be arranged. Yes, it’s a time of the year that you either love or hate, but for gamers, it’s a time to bash those buttons and yell in those headsets because Christmas gaming is a time to get merry and have some fun.

I’ve found an interesting gaming event for female gamers.
As part of the annual ‘London Games Fringe’, a week long gaming event, the London Metropolitan University is hosting a day exclusively aimed at girl gamers to kick start the event.
During the day, there will be 5 different games to play; Wii Tennis, Tekken, Unreal Tournament, Kuri Kuri Mix and Mario Kart.
There will be five winners at the end of the tournament for each game, but there will only be ONE overall champion.
This is the first girl gaming tournament in London, as part of the London Games Fringe.
If you’re interested, then sign up at GRL GMR Tournament but hurry as there are limited places available. The event is free and family and friends are more than welcome to come with you.
Hope this may be of interest to anyone?

Okay, so last weekend I FINALLY got up to major grade 2.
Moments later
I jumped with joy and humped the air like some horny teenaged loser. I called my husband and told him I finally did it, and then played for 5 hours straight after that.
Two days later
I downloaded the new patch with the new achievements and was totally excited. I then got online and noticed that my rank was gone, I looked at my service record and saw that it was still there before I started pulling my hair out.
I then played lone wolves and saw that people who were lower ranks than me now had higher ranks. I wondered to myself wtf this was.I looked at Bungie.net…they told me it was this new “True Skill”
Soooo I thought to myself….”So now everyone is on an even playing field”…so this entire year of Halo I have been playing, dreaming to get to major grade 2 means nothing now?
So I know this is a stupid thing to get mad about, but I sat around for about 3 hours being pissed about this.
Am I the only one who is totally mad about this? Am I just being a weirdo?
The game I play the most on my xbox 360, is Call of Duty 4, occasionally swapped with Halo 3.
I prefer CoD4, but Halo 3 is good for online split screen. CoD4 can get a little boring waiting for your turn, but I still loved to play it regardless.
A new game’s taken over though :O, Unreal Tournament 3 :D. I don’t know if it’s because it’s better than CoD4, or because it’s possible to do split screen online, but it’s definitely taking up a lot of time. I’m making this post in between my gaming gap.
If anyone’s interested in having an UT3 online match soon, just post your 360 gamertag here and when’s good for you :D.
I’m an avid 360 gamer and have owned all consoles. Next Gen console wise only have the 360 left after selling the PS3 and Wii. And I’m a little obsessed with Achievement Points. One thing that, annoys me as a Gamer, is the varying difficulty of achievements. I recently wrote an article on 360Crazy.com explaining my thoughts on this. And now, I’m not one to show off - ok I am - but, QueenB submitted it to N4G also. Which to those who don’t know, is one of the biggest, if not biggest, gaming news site (News 4 Gamers see :P). Forget going to the 360 section, or recent stories, it’s been moved from 3rd hottest story to 2nd 
So yeah, I’m showing off. But, also linking you all the article
