No need to worry, it sounds like you had an amazing Christmas. I loved the AC series. Started with the second, then went to the third, and then the first. Haven't played much beyond that but I know what you mean about the game becoming addicting as I've spent many hours playing them. And with your background, there's no way you wouldn't enjoy the series.

Can't fault you for that. Pretty soon I hope to teach myself how to play the keyboard. I learned how to do so for a year in high school and didn't continue learning after graduating, which I regret now. Here's to an easy start!
