Blog - Stack Exchange: Winter Bash 2013 Wrap-Up

Abby T. Miller on January 03, 2014

Another holiday season has drawn to a close. We’ve had three glorious weeks with our beloved hats. Now as we pack away the tinsel and the party horns, it’s time to put the hats back in their boxes for another year. Before we move on to 2014 with our bare heads (and our full hearts), let’s take a few moments to reminisce.

76,586 users from all over the network earned 214,172 hats this year – that’s just about twice the number of hats they earned last year. 95 sites opted to participate in Winter Bash, which is more than the total number of sites that simply existed during last year’s event. …

2:59 AM

Anybody want to try and get some Risk of Rain co-op going?

Fluttershy

@MechanicalLoon Going from a game like Bioshock Infinite to a game like The Cave can be a bit of a slap in the face, honestly. It's not that your stupid, it's just that you may have to reacquaint yourself with puzzle games. :P I had to look up a lot of stuff for The Cave. Especially the Hillbilly level.

Mechanical Loon

So far it seems less like a puzzle game and more like a "figure out what order the developers wanted you to do things" game. Like a point+click adventure just with platforming controls.

Maybe it opens up?

This is relaxing for between Bioshock levels :P

Fluttershy

@MechanicalLoon The latter pretty much sums it up. It's very much a point and click adventure with some platforming. That's part of why I enjoyed it so much.

but it looks so awesome

I'd want to go even if I wasn't showing

spugsley

@FAE yeah. And they are only 10 dollars each so I can potentially buy what's left over. And Ian's got a pretty big work network. Not to mention, people don't have to come if they just want to support me, they can (example: my parents lol)

@AshleyNunn I'm getting all panicky about what if it's dying, then I have to get a new one but if I need to, then I want to upgrade, but that's expensive and I was thinking about upgrading my PC this year anyway but not yet because I haven't had time to think about it and aaaaaaaahhhh

@FAE Breathe, my dear. Like you told me lots today, it will be okay.

@FAE I nkow, it's hard, technology can be super tough when it is being, well, vexing and cryptic and doing weirdnesses. It will be okay. This I know. I know right now it seems like AAAAAAAAAAAA thoughts EVERYWHERE but that's okay.
