First Ever Unofficial GWJ Christmas Haiku Contest!
Inspired by a contest here at work for the best Haiku involving Christmas and the oil markets, I've decided to launch the First Ever (that I know of) Unofficial GWJ Christmas Haiku Contest!
Guidelines -- write a Haiku that somehow combines Christmas and video games. I don't care how.
Now, I should note here that "contest" is used loosely, because I really don't know if there will be a prize, or if I'll even get around to judging a winner. Hell, maybe Certis or Elysium should judge the winner. My plan right now is to announce a winner on Christmas Day, assuming I have time.
The winner may or may not receive a prize of my choosing. I promise nothing. We'll see what I get for Christmas. Maybe I'll ask Mrs. Duffman to make some cookies to send. I'm playing fast and loose here.
I'll start things off:
One more game recieved
I'll never have time to play
Skipping work Monday
We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea.

Yet I feel right at home now
Death threats make me glad

Yay for christmas booms

Winner!
I generated a virtual world in the toilet bowl this morning.
-- Podunk on the PS3's mystical, magical abilities
Freezing cold outside;
No snow, just icy wind storm.
It''s so nice inside
In computer''s glow.
Online forums disinform,
But the evening''s slow.
Time to play a game.
Simulation is my norm:
Never plays the same,
Opens a new world,
Just for me to choose and form
Futures manifold.
Consciousness recedes;
In my own world I perform
Private cosmic deeds.
Games'' have a new role:
They are our new art form.
Reprieve of the soul.
How ''bout it?
You''re all creative
And obsessed with gore and death.
Is that a good thing?
I wish I was home
Playing Links with my new friends.
Or just killing them.
Are you two into trying new things?
Rain pours
Cold Comes
WoW Basic campfire skills rule
"Eat Keel, Hellbug!"
This thread died quickly.
It didn''t make it till lunch.
You''re all at home, huh?
Working today sucks.
Working tomorrow is worse.
Someone kill me now.
Haikus are teh fun!
They remind me of fourth grade.
I miss not working.
Are you two into trying new things?
