The NEW Filler Friday DVD is here! Packed with the best 13 of our 100 shorts – picked by you! – it promises to be the most epic PBC release to date. Even better is the price – just TEN DOLLARS! That's right, you get the cream of PBC's first two years of shorts, along with audio commentary, for just TEN BUCKS. Tis the season to support independent film. Your contributions will go directly towards making more PBC shorts, like Little Miss Gamer!

Happy Holidays everybody! We hope that the last week has been as awesome to you as it has been to us. Lighting candles…unwrapping gifts…seeing family and dunking them into snowbanks. Ahhh yes. Darrin, Brett, Chad, and Z have been visiting family in Western New York, which means one thing: lots and lots of snow! Whether it was sledding in a local state park or drinking hot cocoa inside, WNY has been a non-stop winter wonderland. Even with the few inches of rain we got yesterday. The snow madness continues.

Speaking of madness, MAGfest is literally next week. It begins on New Years' Eve with a party and doesn't stop rocking until Sunday afternoon. If you haven't ordered your badges or hooked up on the 'I need a ride' forum, now is the time. Nobody likes standing in a "didn't register yet" line. Get signed up before it's too late.

At MAG, we'll be shooting a music video for the track 'Overheat' by MadHatter. Again, as soon as we know what time and place we'll be meeting to kick it off, it'll be posted here. There's an ExciteBike theme to the video, so bring your racing gear. Heck, just bring yourself. We need extras like Devon needs a new beard. One guy has even promised tricycles.

So what kind of awesome swag did you bag this holiday season? Did you come home with cookies (like me) or score a brand new console (like my bro)? Post your gifts, and keep our forums alive!

With all of the December holidays just around the corner, we thought it would be an appropriate time for Little Miss Gamer to air a 15 year grievance she's had with Santa. All she ever wanted was an SNES. Was it so much to ask? WAS IT??!

In light of the spirit of giving, PBC donated a little swag to the 12 Days of Geekmas over on the wired.com blog community, Geek Dad. You'll be able to win some Captain S merch on the 11th day, December 22nds, if you head over and leave your info in a blog comment. Thanks to Z. from Hipster, Please! for getting us involved!

Oh yeah, and MAGFest is 11 DAYS AWAY!! GET EXCITED! PACK YOUR BAGS! BRING DEODORANT! SERIOUSLY, PLEASE!

Happy holidays all!

We will be shooting a music video at this year's MAGfest and need your help! We're looking for gamers of all ages and sizes to get pumped and jump around to a crazy rap song. It's the more the merrier, so bring your friends, costumes, a favorite beverage and get ready to rock out.

The song is 'OverHeat', the ExciteBike tribute track on MadHatter's album 8-Bit Bullshit.

The official time and place will come later in the month. It will most likely be labeled 'PBC shoots a music video' in your Magfest pamphlet. We need gamers to represent the culture and have a great time, I can't emphasize that enough. It's gonna kick ass!
