Festivus for the rest of us!  Every December 23rd some people celebrate Festivus.  The only decoration for Festivus is an aluminum pole, nothing else needed.  During the evening meal there is an 'Airing of Grievances' in which you are supposed to tell everyone around the table how they have disappointed you during the past year.

After the meal there is a 'Feats of Strength'.  This includes wrestling the head of the household to the floor, only after which is the holiday officially over.  Quite possibly the best thing to come out of Seinfeld. 

I present to you Descent.  The first video game I ever played that made me sweat (no I wasn't a fatty, no I'm not a fatty, stop making fun).  The whole point of this game is to fly through zero g mines on the moons of planets and blow them up.  You see, in the future we use robots to mine all kinds of metals and minerals out of the moons of the planets in our solar system and sell it to Apple to use as the new case for their iPods or some damn thing.

Well of course some leet h4ck3r had to go in and infect all of the robots with a virus which makes them essentially sit around and do nothing (until you show up, then they all try to kill you).  Natually this pissed off Apple and the mining company so they hire you to go around to each of the mines and figure out what the hell is going on with the robots and stuff.  They tell you this is a reconnaissance mission and that you shouldn't be worried.  You're then strapped into a space version of an F-16 with all sorts of weapons on board, you know, just in case.
