0:02

He. It's the most

0:04

wonderful time of the

0:07

year. Happy Holidays rye

0:09

you look festive. Did.

0:11

We change the holiday party theme

0:13

to an ugly Sweater party. Not.

0:16

That I know this is just

0:18

my favorite sweater. Isn't.

0:20

A great how ugly it is. We

0:22

the. Holiday parties today.

0:30

Yeah. We're doing the

0:32

secret friend gift exchange remember.

0:35

Will. Of course I remember I just didn't

0:37

prepare properly and now I'm going to

0:39

distract you by saying I'm Ryan Willard.

0:42

And I'm Pamela Kirkland. It's

0:44

Thursday, December fourteenth. This

0:46

is The Ten News. Ten,

0:49

Nine, Eight, Six. Five, Two, or.

0:58

I need a gift. I need a gift. I need a gift. I need a

1:00

gift. Let's apply good every.

1:03

Guess know I'm not. I have

1:05

Pam for the secret friend gift

1:07

exchange and I don't have a

1:09

gift. Oh, that's a tough one.

1:11

Hey, do you want to your mind off

1:13

that into a video game update? Okay, you

1:15

are speaking my language. Let's get down

1:17

with get down. It's

1:23

been a huge year for

1:25

games, especially for open world third

1:27

person games. Spider to Star

1:29

Wars, Jet I, Survivor, Star Field,

1:31

Hogwarts Legacy just to name

1:33

a few. Those

1:36

are all tremendous games, But honestly, I

1:38

think this has been the year of

1:40

Nintendo. I said at the beginning of

1:42

the year that this was going to

1:45

be Nintendo's year and they managed to

1:47

exceed my expectations. First off, Super Nintendo

1:49

World opened up in Los Angeles. I

1:51

never thought I'd get to go to

1:54

a videogame theme park. And it's

1:56

interactive and it was a super

1:58

my was really which was my

2:00

favorite films If you. Do

2:02

It Made one point three

2:05

six billion dollars at the

2:07

global box office. Making

2:09

it the second to this

2:11

animated film of all time

2:13

only behind Frozen to Like

2:16

Fall. Into what the characters to

2:18

a whole new level. But I

2:20

have to say Jack Slack stole

2:22

the show a thousand pieces. P

2:24

C C C C C C.

2:27

You hear that he announced of

2:29

Legend of Zelda Movie director threat

2:31

false said he hopes to make

2:33

it feel like a realize take

2:35

on legendary filmmaker. Hijazi is often.

2:37

Oh. I love the spirit

2:39

away and how was moving

2:41

castle but lively thoughts about

2:43

the games. Are. I About

2:45

Legend of Zelda. Tears of The Kingdom.

2:48

I didn't know how the top rest of

2:50

the while. Did.

2:53

Choose the king himself once. And

2:56

it just one best action adventure game as

2:58

a two thousand and twenty three video game

3:00

awards and be. I slice these and

3:02

finish the to the to the main

3:04

story because I've been distracted by just

3:07

building. Vehicles itself like Nintendo brought

3:09

out a bunch of fan favorites

3:11

this year. We got Metroid Prime

3:14

Rib mastered Detective Peter to returns

3:16

Hickman for more you were move

3:19

it to. Worry away

3:21

a movie. It's so funny. I

3:23

love the you have to stand

3:25

up to play and gonna shake

3:27

were yeah my name. Yeah. And

3:31

for just. One session

3:33

society doing anything. He

3:36

also got Super Mario Rpg which

3:38

was the remake of one of

3:40

my favorite Super Nintendo game the

3:42

original with the first story driven

3:44

Mario game. Both support them on

3:46

Scotland's virus the hidden treasure of

3:48

areas know and this is. My

3:52

favorite new Dlc is made of

3:54

glass is as long as it

3:56

says smart as he sees us

3:58

to see this and. They

4:01

were Super Mario One or two

4:03

wonder was a lecture. I put

4:05

my forty hours a night game.

4:07

He might be my favorite game

4:09

and year and unsurprisingly a one

4:11

family game of the year at

4:13

the Video Game Awards. I don't

4:16

know how, but Nintendo keeps ticking

4:18

characters and games that I love

4:20

and meeting me love the more.

4:23

You do for the Swift's. Appended

4:26

have a switch. Flights is a

4:28

brand new all would switch on you.

4:30

Cast: Yeah.was more of

4:33

a holiday president for

4:35

myself. To as you'd have to

4:38

switch I. Do But as a lead.

4:40

Switch comes with a free copy of

4:42

Super Smash Bros Ultimate and really cool

4:44

Smash, The Joy Cons, and a three

4:46

month subscription to Nintendo Switch. Online and

4:48

the older model has a screened it's

4:50

bigger, brighter, and more beautiful than the

4:53

original along with better speakers and twice

4:55

as much storage. It's. Honestly

4:57

like the perfect gift for someone

4:59

who doesn't have a switch. Someone

5:01

like. That. But

5:03

no, I already opened it. I

5:06

could give a gif I've already opened. I. Can.

5:08

But I get it. Good luck figuring out.

5:11

Thanks for your help a Brit! Are

5:14

you looking for something to do

5:16

over the holidays that not video

5:19

game related? Well we've got some

5:21

book recommendation. For you. First

5:24

up another great story from Jerry

5:26

Crafts called school Trip. You can

5:29

join Jordan and his friends on

5:31

a big school trip to Paris.

5:33

do you a mystery and lemony

5:35

snicket? and check out the Swiss

5:37

a dictionary of scoundrels by Best

5:39

Lincoln. Also can't get enough from

5:41

dusk till Just didn't pick up

5:43

his latest book Cat Kid comic

5:45

club influencers and you can never

5:48

go wrong with a classic. My

5:50

favorite is Charlotte's Web. See

5:55

them. Do you by chance

5:57

have any gift ideas? Yeah.

5:59

I. Love giving gifts,

6:02

Perfect. How. Bout gifts that

6:04

don't cost lot of money or any

6:06

money is possible. That. Definitely

6:08

possible. The best gifts don't have to

6:10

be expensive, they just have to be

6:12

from the heart. Like. Blood vessels

6:14

for my shirt. I

6:17

don't think to do that. No, right. Like a

6:19

homemade card, you take some construction

6:22

paper folded in half and then

6:24

the sky's the limit. On

6:26

the cover of the card, you could

6:28

draw our paint. Some things are right.

6:30

a funny message. I personally love cutting

6:33

think that of magazines and pasting them

6:35

into of allies. but the key to

6:37

a great homemade card is a kind

6:39

personal note written inside of it. You

6:41

can tell someone why you think they're

6:44

cool, things you like about them or

6:46

why you appreciate them. I do

6:48

love handmade cards. A bit sad. has

6:50

a good gift idea. Seems like a

6:52

great gift giver. Keep

6:55

him He Ryan here is a gift

6:57

idea I like. I'm a big fan

7:00

of homemade gifts. Pm. Mention homemade

7:02

cards. I love to make comic Christmas tree

7:04

ornaments you can draw someone a picture and

7:06

put in in a sprain any kind. A

7:08

homemade gifts to sort of what I'm a

7:11

big fan of. I knew it sat on.

7:13

This is a Judy Us. Would.

7:16

About a mixtape. So

7:21

people call those played with these

7:23

days but that's a great idea.

7:25

You can make a playlist on

7:27

Apple or spot a sigh of

7:30

your favorite songs or songs you

7:32

think the recipient more like. I

7:34

suggest having a seems your playlist

7:36

like Holiday Jams or Let's Dance.

7:39

I. Love a good playlist! Oh,

7:41

I just remembered something I used to do. Coupon

7:44

Books. You make a

7:46

book filled with coupons to give to a loved one.

7:49

And. The fun part is that the coupons

7:51

can be anything you want. Like I will

7:53

vacuum the living room, I will help you

7:55

wash the car or I will play the

7:58

quite a game for one hour. Wow! The

8:00

Great ideas! Speaking of books, you can

8:02

also do a D I y story

8:04

book where you write the story and

8:07

illustrate it. Or if you wanna try

8:09

something new you can find a way

8:11

to record your voice and record stories

8:13

that was like an audio book or

8:16

a podcast. What if I have

8:18

a gift that someone gave me but I

8:20

think someone else would like it more. That's

8:22

called read gifting and that's totally cool

8:24

as long as you really think the

8:26

person might like. The. Gift would have didn't

8:28

like the gifts. Well, that's the funny part

8:30

about. Gift giving you never know but

8:33

if it from your heart still

8:35

most likely appreciate. The Effort. So

8:37

if it's from my heart, your

8:39

love, My. Guess is probably. Okay,

8:42

okay I know what I have to

8:44

do have. To do about why? You're

8:46

welcome! Bam! All

8:50
