Happy winter-een-mas

Post by Chroelle »

Well to those of you who dont know winter-een-mas, here is a clue as to what it is:
http://www.wintereenmas.com/
Well actually it all comes from this site:

All hail Ethan - the king of winter-een-mas....:king:

And - NO - I haven't been drinking (much).

I simply decided that this year I would celebrate it. :D

And it seems to be a reaccuring event that I want to do that. :)

Winter-een-mas is a celebration of Games. It urges you to play more games and focus more on your fun than on hard work and making money etc. I will dedicate myself to this once more and plan to play a whole bunch of games as soon as possible. I will keep to freeware games as Winter-een-mas is also about challenging the commercial companies selling you those games.

Hmmm. It seems Winter-een-mas is soon here again. Next week it starts, and once more I will be getting into the spirit. I have a plan to finish a few games that I have lying around, and thus clearing my backlog of games if that is possible. Is anyone up for celebrating with me? :)

You can count on me and Mass Effect 2 to celebrate the whole week-end. Or maybe Half-Life 2 and DeathSpank. Gah... one of them anyway.

I have night shift next week. I wonder if anyone would notice me with the winter-een-ma crown on my head, sitting in front of the computer, playing games in the middle of the night. I might give it a try... :king:

I have this whole evening set aside to playing Exit Fate, so perhaps I will soon be able to get Mass Effect (1) up and running on my PC.

DeathSpank... Evil has been Vanquished. A really nice game.

Today, I found myself playing Poker Night at the Inventory and this (note: not a Flash-game!).

I really liked the experience that Entanglement cant be played with Internet Explorer but with 4 other browsers...That was new.
I enjoyed it pretty much, and will propably be coming back to it again.

Winter-een-mas starts today, so after taking a nap when tugging in my daughter I am ready to kickoff with Exit Fate. :)

The bots, they evolve. That word substitution thing is awesome, I can guess couple of the original words but not all. Can someone figure out where that original text is from? Time to update the anti-spam questions.

buy winter-een-mas mugs, tshirts and magnets
Winter-een-mas is a holiday started by brain harm of Tim Buckley's really own Ethan. It was a spend for everyone to run him, but fortunately, it has denaturized from that root aim.

Winter-een-mas is a gamer's leisure. The Winter-een-mas season lasts all of January, but the spend is the inalterable period of Jan, January 25-31. It emphasizes the society of gamers. Nevertheless, gift-giving is not advisable, as it may failure the leisure disposition. Littler, oversewn gifts are quite alright, though'.
