Kccitystar Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 what the???? Winter-een-mas is a week long celebration of video games that lasts from January 25th through January 31st. Winter-een-mas was started by Ethan, and first appeared in the Ctrl Alt Del comic on January 27, 2003. It resurfaced the year after, as well. It is the only gaming holiday that is recognized by EB games. The Seven Days of Winter-een-mas According to a comic series spoofing Tim Buckley's version of The Night Before Christmas, each of the seven days of Winter-een-mas may be in celebration of individual gaming genres; * The first day is for action, platform and adventure games, represented by a man dressed as Indiana Jones. * Second day is for first-person shooters, represented by a 21 year old that needs sleep. * Third, is the day for fighting games, represented by a martial artist with too many blows to the head and kicks to the "jewels". * The fourth day belongs to real-time strategy games (RTSs) represented by a rather large, bearded man with a pocket protector. * The fifth day is for racing games, represented by a racer with old fashioned racing helmet and racing goggles holding a detached steering wheel. * The sixth day goes to role playing games (RPGs), represented by an elf-like woman holding floating dice above her left hand. * The seventh and last day is dedicated to sports games, represented by a round, middle-aged man wearing a #10 jersey and holding a beer bottle in each hand. Celebrating Winter-een-mas is very laid back because it is such a new holiday, and because of the laid back culture with which it is associated. Most people play video games and some buy cheap games for friends (though gift giving is not encouraged). People also dress up to celebrate this holiday, usually wearing a paper crown and holding a scepter with a console controller strapped to the top. Though dressing up is not necessary to celebrate this holiday, it is a fun way to join in. Often, Winter-een-mas parties are held, which are held either in real space locations, or on MMORPG servers, such as World of Warcraft or Everquest. Celebrators are asked to write letters to companies and other sources that are related to video games in order to thank them for their contribution(s). The holiday serves to dedicate the last week in January (25th-31st) to spend time with your friends and enjoy and celebrate the entertainment and joy video games have brought to your lives.

pistonj92 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Well Kramer and Michael Richards are two different things. You can be angry at Michael Richards for being a racist and an awful person. But there should be no reason to take insult at a character created by Larry David.
