Winter-een-mas!

Lantis · **Posted:** January 16th, 2008, 10:44 am

It's January... and you know what that means? In just over a week, it'll be another winter-een-mas.

How will you celebrate?

For teh n00bz:

Quote:

Winter-een-mas is a holiday started by brain frostbite of Tim Buckley's very own Ethan. It was a holiday for everyone to serve him, but fortunately, it has changed from that beginning idea.

Winter-een-mas is a gamer's holiday. The Winter-een-mas season lasts all of January, but the holiday is the last week of January, January 25-31. It emphasizes the companionship of gamers. However, gift-giving is not recommended, as it may ruin the holiday spirit. Small, handmade gifts are quite alright, though.

Celebrate Winter-een-mas by playing videogames with your friends, by wearing interesting gaming clothing/accesories, and especially by writing letters of thanks to those wonderful developers who make the games!

Okay, minus Ebenezer Scrooge AKA Jack Thompson wanna-be... what is everyone else doing?

This month I've been playing Assassin's Creed, Super Mario Galaxy, and Rock Band with quite a few friends... in spirit of the holiday.

Fine whatever. I'll be playing WoW, some Diablo 2, MTG, Rock Band, and probably a few other random things.

for the actual week of winter-een-mas I will be making a video of most the games that I have played over the course of the year as a tribute to this winter-een-mas.

I hope to have it finished by the 25th.

Cool little thing.

I'll be celebrating by just continuing to play games like I always do. I'm always having people over to play games.

I've been celebrating by play Advanced Wars: Dual Strike.

And when it comes out, I'll get Advanced Wars: Days of Ruin and celebrate by playing that.

It was between that and Otakon one year. And I picked Otakon. I really want to see Play!

Yeah so do I.

It came to Columbus once, and I missed my chance to see it. Now I'll have to wait till it comes by again.
