Official Blip Festival 2009 Winamp skin (.wsz download link). Do people still use Winamp? I hope so; it’s a great, uncomplicated program (provided you keep it trimmed down to just the essential components) for playing music. I’d still use it if I hadn’t made this MacBook my primary computer box last year.
Little known fact: before I brought my writing talents to the illustrious and high-paid profession of games journalism, I produced articles for the Nullsoft/Winamp team in a semi-official role, highlighting update releases, niche albums, custom skins, and other junk relavant to the community. It was a lot like what we do here!
Anyway, though we’ve been remiss with covering the upcoming chiptune festival, Blip Fest 2009 is less than two weeks away! If you can manage it, make sure you get your ass to NYC for the three-day event starting December 17th to hear and see some of the micromusic acts we rave about here all the time — Minusbaby, Leeni, Enso, No Carrier, Nullsleep, The J. Arthur Keenes Band, any many others.

A scene from Might & Magic: Clash of Hillbillies (click for a close-up of Godric McSquiggleLips, no relation to Godric McDonkeyLips from Might & Magic: Clash of Budnicks).
I expected developer Capybara to deliver an addictive puzzle game with strategy RPG elements, a worthy successor to Puzzle Quest. What I didn’t expect was some rascal quoting Deliverance. Even though it’s rated E10+, I’m kind of afraid to battle this character, fearful he’ll force me to squeal like a pig if I lose.
So, what do you think? Pretty mouth, y/n?

Painted, modified, and melted Game Boys photographed by On s’appelle. I’m uncertain about they story behind these systems, but they were displayed at the Video Games Live concert in Paris last month.
They all look great, but the sparkle-decorated handheld with the teal and purple Link artwork is banoodles.
