Okay, I couldn't keep it in anymore… can you tell that I'm already super excited about Christmas fuuun?!?!? :D

Oooooooooooooooooo

Okay, so here's the lowdown: ArtsyGamer.com is only half about cool games with artistic values, the other half is about the fantastic community and friendships we're building here, gathering special peoplez, we are. So, here's the deal: this shall be Artsygamer's 3rd Christmas, and on this magical occasion we shall start a tradition! An awesome one! I'm starting to build a list of people who are interested in joining. On the 18th I will use this list to randomly extract (out of something christmasy, like a hat or something) everybody's Secret Artsy Santa (SASsy, non?). Then i will contact the people on the list with their respective giftee. On Christmas night we all send the gifts and we can then discuss them in great excitement the next day :D.

The nitty gritty

For speciffics I was thinking a low budget Steam game (at the time of writing this there's 300+ at <5€ and 831 games at <10€, though I propose to stick around 5 so as to be the most accessible for everybody, it's more about the fun and the gesture than anything). I figured Steam 'cause it's the most hassle free as far as I know and it's digital instant delivery makes it convenient, plus I bet quite a couple of us have an account lying around somewhere. Plenty of choices & probably a ton of fab holiday deals on fantastic games are guaranteed :D

Why would I do it?

Well… for the huge joy of giving, of course! Imagine you get to browse through a ton of games, remembering the ones you liked most, and share one with somebody, spreading the joy, making the world a better place!

As an incredible added bonus you will also get to have a cool surprise waiting for you to unwrap. Even if you've played the game before it will be super fun to get it, knowing that somebody else (and you get to wonder who) reaaaallly enjoyed that game and thought it was special enough to share. It probably meant a LOT in their life… it's magical to share that!

Oh, and just think that in 10 years when there'll be a ton of people revering the religion that will be ArtsyGamer you'll get to smugly say: "well, you know, I was there in 2010 for the first Secret Santa!" … and then smugly point to the cool game you got too! :D

I want in! Pleaaaaseee!!!

Well, gimme a private message (top menu), or email, or facebook or even contact form (i hope it works)… you could even just leave a comment here if the email you're registered with is the one you'll want to be receiving on. Name + email … and that's all :D

What now?

Well, now you start looking around, thinking of the best choice, imagining the excitement of giving and getting… making somebody just a tinsy bit more happy and in turn being super surprised with a lil game that might just be a fab revelation for you, taking you into a world you didn't even know existed :D YEAY FOR SURPRISES!!!!!!!!!

Maybe it’s just my hyperactive imagination, like for example before a had a computer i got this game mag and re-re-read it’s walkthroughs imagining what it’s like… well… this seems interesting to me… just sparkles my imagination (not having played the game and all).

Big December Announcement … stay tuned

I haven’t really played much of it, but everything I saw had such great visuals and the humor was so funny over the top that I have to mention it. The animations are like soooooo expressive… (carryin heavy cows comes to mind… or was it pigs? or both? no no… there was something with the cows, the milking?) … enjoy :D

PS: love the twist on stealing the princess

PS2: Shiny entertainment rooocks!

PS3: I love how they didn’t stay away from the fact that he is a worm and many times u see his wormy shapes put to use

Theme proposed by Firefish. In a tripple whammy reason (it’s very rough, 40th aniversary & possibly little known game) this one will get 2 credits for whoever guesses the game. Good luck artsy gamers!

Haven’t really played the game but the beginning section i find brilliant. I can totally see travel games like this: you’re the one looking around, getting to see all sorts of animals in the wilderness, places you couldn’t otherwise visit or explore… getting the tour, and unleashed (how cool would it be to have a game like that but with taking photos and exploration focus)
