Gamers of the world unite, Winter-een-mas is upon us!

Many of you probably haven't heard about the upcoming gamers' holiday. Winter-een-mas is a wonderous thing. It is a celebration of video games and the gaming community, gift-giving isn't encouraged but LAN parties and multiplayer get-togethers are. The holiday was started a couple of years ago by the ctrl-alt-delete online webcomic.
For more info ask me or simply go to http://www.wintereenmas.com

Hope this doesn't break any forum rules, if so, let me know asap and I will ammend.

I like Zeke.
This randomness was bought to you by the letter "R" the number "7" and the "11th" dimension.

Pretty much. Also it is suggested that you write to the creators of your favourite game(s)/consoles etc. thanking and congratulating them.
Wear your favourite game-related t-shirt. Have a LAN party. Organise team events on online games. Deck the halls with spare cables and controllers even.

The Winter-een-mas season is all of January, but Winter-Een-Mas takes place over the last week of it.

Yep. And it's tradition to stick a games console controller to a stick, and keep it with you when you're playing games.

And yea, you encourage other to play Video Games with you, and you play them yourself.

I just got through celebrating Feast of The Winter Veil on WoW, you think I'm going to show myself as even more of a nerd by celebrating this?

Count me in.

They do a bit, but the current one about someone trying to steal winter-een-mas looks like it's gonna be a doozy.

Yeah it has done, the ending looks like its going to be a real bore. I preffered CAD as just simple jokes in maybe 1-2 strip storylines, nothign as long as lately

The animations look cool though

I shall celebrate by carrying various video game related trinkets with me, to make up for the fact that I can't be playing a game all the time.

I'll probably spend the large majority of my time playing my DS.... Animal Crossing. w00t.

Kugetsu · **Posted:** Wed Jan 25, 2006 10:05 pm

I'll probably be playing Animal Crossing (GC), Soul Calibur 3 (PS2), Dynasty Warriors 5 (PS2), and various other games I can find to play I've got plenty of time . x_x
