Seasons greetings Gamespotians, just wanted to wish everyone a happy holidays, hope you all have a good one :)

Kotaku said it better than I could so...copy pasta:

Starting right now you can pick up Braid, Cortex Command, Machinarium, Osmos, Revenge of the Titans for the Mac, Windows or Linux for exactly whatever the hell you want to pay, and it's for a good cause.

That's right, Wolfire's pay-what-you-want, donate-to-charity indie gaming bundle returns today with the Humble Indie Bundle 2.

This year the core games in the bundle are Braid, Machinarium, Osmos, Cortex Command and Revenge of the Titans. The Electronic Frontier Foundation and Child's Play are again the charities Braid and Cortex Command are making their Linux debuts and Revenge of the Titans is officially launching inside the bundle.

Head on over to HumbleBundle.com, name your price, decide how to split up the proceeds. Wolffire's last HumbleBundle offered Aquaria, Penumbra: Overture, Lugaru, Gish and World of Goo at a pay-what-you-want rate. The bundle raised more than $330,000 for Child's Play and Electronic Frontier Foundation. It also, sadly, proved that some assclowns will pirate anything, even a five-game pack that could be picked up for as little as a $1.

Another interesting side note, the provides real-time stats, discovering last year that Linux users are about twice as generous as Windows users. Come on Windows, don't let me down this year.

Alright now sing along with me:

It's real nice when you name your price for games that are DRM free, Cross-platform compatible and you're helping charity!

Go, buy, give!

So yeah, had a pretty good time yesterday, got about $80 from various relatives, got to go to my favorite restaurant (China Buffet :3), and had some delicious home made banana cream pie for desert (Pie>>>Cake). Also my parents ordered this sexay shirt for me:

Oh, and as the title indicates. we went to go see Inception.

This part was totally unplanned, we just happened to be bored so we decided to go see it, though neither of my parents had much interest in it.:P

Personally, I thought it was a great movie, definitely one of the most original I've ever seen. My parents found it horribly confusing, personally, I didn't think it was very confusing at all, aside from the first 20 minutes (which I will grant, I had no idea what the hell was going on for that period).

Very enjoyable movie, I think, I'd rate it at an 8/10.

And that's pretty much it...oh wait, also, new sig.

So yeah, my birthday is tomorrow, I turn seventeen :)

Already got what is likely to be my favorite birthday present today though, the Kilpsch Image S4 Noise Isolating headphones I ordered a while ago showed up today, and I love them :3

Birthday isn't really a big deal for me any more, don't really care, still, going to get to go out to the restaurant of my choosing, and will likely get a decent amount of cash, so that's always nice.

Anyway,

On an unrelated note, still reading the Song Of Ice And Fire series by George Martin, currently on the third book (A Storm Of Swords), and I have to say....I can not put this book down, this is EASILY becoming my favorite fantasy series, if you haven't read this yet, I can not recommend it enough.

Later peoplez.

Title basically says it all so Ima just going to put some other random updates no one really cares about here to keep this from being a one sentence blog.

Gaming:

Been playing Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition a lot lately, this game is addictive as hell, currently trying to beat it on Very Hard mode...getting my ass handed to me ;.;

Reading:

Been reading the "A Song Of Fire And Ice" series by George R.R Martin, currently on the second book (A Clash Of Kings), I have to say, I can easily see this becoming one of my new favorite series, highly recommend this series to anyone who loves a good fantasy book (And anyone that doesn't too :P)

Music:

Marduk have taken over my music listening, I got over 400 Marduk plays in the course of a single week....:lol:

New sig.

*Yawn* Sup peoples. Just feel the need to let you guys (and girls) know I'll be taking a break from GS for a little while. Just bored with this place lately. Haven't really been commenting on any of your blogs or responding to any PMs for awhile either...sorry about that, just don't really feel like doing anything on here these days... (Also, if you have an outstanding sig request, which I know at least one person has, remind me in the comments and I'll take care of it when I come back. :P)

Later peoplez.

This blog series is taking just a little bit too long, I'm much too lazy lately to bother making blogs very often, figured I might as well just wrap it up now.

Click the album titles for the info on them:

#5

Annihilation Of The Wicked-Nile

#4

Mortal Throne Of Nazarene-Incantation

# 3 and 2 are skipped due to #1 being a three way tie.

And number(s) 1 are......

Failures For Gods, and Close To A World Below by Immolation, and This Godless Endeavor by Nevermore

I debated over this for quite awhile, and have come to the conclusion that I just can not choose between these three albums.:P

**** YEAH, about time summer vacation came around for meh :D

Anyway, #6 on mah countdown is...

Symphony #9 In E Minor - From The new World by Antonin Dvorak

Genre: CIassical

Composed circa 1893

Movements:

I. Adagio
II. Largo
III. Scherzo: Molto vivace
IV. Allegro con fuoco

Calling this an "album" might not be that accurate, particularly as I am not listing any specific recording of this, but what evs, one of the best cIassical pieces I've ever heard, absolute masterpiece.
