More Christmas Music?

Yeah, it seems as though I have brought it upon myself to find Christmas music for all nerd kind.

No 8-bit this time, just an awesome bit of Nerdy Nintendo Christmas.



This band, The OneUps, are some damn talented fellows.

My day in Animal Crossing

Here is what I did today.

I finally got an Ax!

I was so excited that I got the crazy eyes and wanted to go cut down everything.

In my excitement I was not looking where I was going and fell in a hole.

Eventually I cut down a tree.

That being done I decided to go fishing and I got two Rainbow Trout!

Then I saw a balloon in the sky so I shot it down with my slingshot.

And what did I find in the present? A COIN BOX! Sweet!

So, yeah. That was about an hour or two of what I did today. Whee!

Animal Crossing City Folk

Animal Crossing City Folk
I am very aware that boasting my love for this game puts me at risk of being ridiculed and teased but I just don't care.

I love Animal Crossing, I own and played the previous two games in the series and I can easily say that this is the best effort they have made with it yet.

If you have never played it, its kind of hard to explain why a person can enjoy this game so much. When people ask what you do in the game and you tell them "catch bugs" "catch fish" "collect stuff" "dig holes" "stuff like that" there face begins to twist into confusion and mild amusement at your childish interest in this silly childish game.

You just have to play it, and it may not be for everyone.

Today my little sister Lindsay came to visit my town. I was hoping to get some out of town fruit from her but her town grows the same shit mine does. Bah! (out of town fruit fetches more Bells($) than the local fruit does when you sell it)

Here are some photos of her visit.

I freaking love this game. I'm not sure what else there is to say.

P.S. if you want to visit me, leave your friend code and stuff in the comments.
Here is my info, my town is "S.L.C." my name is "Snyder" and my code is "0645-9298-0398"

World of Goo

World of Goo


I just purchased this for my Wii, holy shit what an awesome game.
While playing I keep thinking that if Tim Burton made a physics game it would be this. The music even sounds like Danny Elfman.

You should all go here and download the demo, there's one for both Mac and PC.
