We miss you, Chaos and little Reagle!

Dear Chaos and little Reagle,
We miss you a lot! Here is a little update on what we've been up to while you were away.

Arien was visited by family friends she hadn't seen for 12 years (even if they live 1 hour away from her) and apparently and the kid her age had no concept of personal space and kept leaning and sitting on her, creepy! She received socks, shirts, 50$, a pictureframe and House of Leaves for presents.

Gekko spend the holidays at his parents' house, where he had lot of computer troubles. He got a brand new coffee machine and lot of whiskey for xmas. He said he'd drink a cup in your honor and he didn't spend a single day without wondering if his little kitty is ok. He's now back to his college home, with his geckos, and he's now busy with laundry.

Bob lefts us today, to spend the new year eve with his friends, he'll be back sometimes next year.

We haven't had a MUD yet. We're planning to have one but no date has been officially chosen yet. I think Gekko will have to put his foot down and set a day and hour for everyone because at this rate the holiday will pass and nothing will be done.

Dritz is planning a D&D game and said you were invited if you came back soon enough. Beside that, he'd been practicing guitar, reading Deadpool and Agent-X comics and he watched the entire run of Firefly and he thought it was awesome.

Ranting had 4 days of vacations, he got a brand new computer or brand new hardware for his old computer, I don't remember, but he was finally able to play and finish Portal! He also got an haircut and he says he's at a mustache away from looking like Gordon Freeman.

AdamM had freak encounter with a Jehovah's Witness who was campaigning for the National Health Service to stop transfusing blood, not for religious reasons but because it was expensive and there were apparently much cheaper and equally effective ways of treating patients.

As for me there is not much to say, I played lot of games, ate lot of xmas dinner and even more xmas left overs, I got a belly ache and I will probably get another belly ache on new year eve as I'll eat chinese buffet with my family. I also began to read Dr McNinja, I am at issue 4.

I finished Doorror and Eversion this morning, 2 super cool indie games that you all should play. For Eversion, the game is a bit weird at first, but when you discover that you can only use the Eversion key when the background color become slightly darker or slightly brighter, it become pretty cool pretty quick. Find all the gems, you will absolutly not regret it. Spelunky seems cool too but I haven't played it this much. Oh, yes, in case you or someone you know haven't purchased Portal or Audiosurf yet, they're both sold for 5 bucks on Steam until January 2. Many many other indie games on Steam are also being sold at lower prices. Just give a look or don't.

And now the mandatory plushy links attack (I saved 43 plushy links since the last blog update, I better use this opportunity to post some!)

A kitty,
Little baby seal,
Another kitty,
Little bunny,
A bear,
Spooky ghost,
It's a-me, Mario!
Another bear,
Crazy little girl!
Little piggies,
And geckos!

That's pretty much it. I hope you are having fun both of you, wherever you are! We miss you a lot, come back soon and safely and here is a week worth of good nap wishes! Good nap! Good nap! Good nap! Good nap! Good nap! Good nap! Good nap!
