Steam Holiday Sales Begin!

It’s that time of year where you think you’re not spending a lot of money, but you really spend a ton to get all those deeply discounted games on Steam. Oh, I’m certainly no exception to this rule, as last year’s black Friday sale took a great deal of my money. At about 1:00 PM pacific I visited steam, and not to my surprise the website was down from all the anxious gamers checking out all the latest and greatest digital deals. Todays deals include Portal, Portal 2, Fable III, Orcs Must Die, Singularity, Amnesisa, Just Cause, Max Payne, Rift and many others at 75% off. The deals don’t end there, there are other publisher catalogs for up to 90% off!
What will you be spending your money on?
mc chris
This week, we’re featuring an amazing artist who is not only known as a Star Wars rap master and undisputed god of Nerdcore, he’s also an artist who loves to draw and has a philanthropic heart! Did you guess? We’re talking about mc chris!
Borrowed from his FB page... mostly for those gorgeous eyes! Cheeeow! <3
Although mc chris is most noted for his smash hit “Fette’s Vette” he also has his hands dipped into animation, working closely with companies like Titmouse. AND for those who don’t know (you should know this anyway unless you live under a rock) he worked with Aqua Teen Hunger Force as mc pee pants (I want Candy!). mc chris also has come out with his first Children’s album this year, Marshmellow Playground, but you don’t only have to be a kid to love it, you can just be a kid at heart! This album touches on subjects that bring back memories of childhood like, mac n’ cheese with hot dogs and being afraid of the dark! mc chris is also hard at work on tour overseas (overseas if you live in the U.S that is) and is planning to come out with a new album Racewars.
On a more serious note, mc chris has a huge and loving heart. This amazing artist has fun raised through e-bay and through his concerts to help fight CF (Cystic Fibrosis). According to Wikipedia, mc chris has raised over $41,000 for the fight against CF, though I’m not sure when this wiki entry was last updated so it could be a lot more!!
This is what I got for my contribution <3 The best part is knowing I could help.
On another note, mc chris is also fundrasing to get his cartoon done for adult swim! His fans are aware how much he gives of himself to help others that they have actually donated a total of $29,433 so far with 300 backers on his kickstarter page! If you can donate even a dollar to help this amazing guy out, he would be more than grateful!
On yet another note – sorry ladies (and gents) but he’s taken! He’s posted on his FB about his girlfriend and he seems to really care about her, which is sweet <3 someone this awesome deserves an awesome person in return.
So the moral of the geek appeal?
mc chris is awesome!

Geek Appeal
I don’t have time tonight for a full blown out post, so I’m going to present you with Geek Appeal! Famous men who I feel deserve a little recognition!
Our first ever Geek Appeal are those lovable men of the parody music group, The Lonely Island! Not only are they rolling around in the success of their album releases, they are also cast members in SNL! The Lonely Island just recently released their latest and highly anticipated album Turtleneck & Chain.
The group consists of (from left to right) Jourma Taccone, Akiva Schaffer, and Andy Samberg. Geeky and funny earns tons of points in my book! No doubt that The Lonely Island will continue to prosper and be awesome. My personal favorite is Akiva, he really throws it down when he raps, plus – who can say no to his awesome pencil mustache in the Creep music video? Authors note: I recently found Akiva Schaffer’s personal facebook page, needless to say my attempt to add him as a friend failed. ;D
