Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The video game developers behind cute Wii game Chick Chick Boom have revisited one of their first projects and produced a web-based advent calendar with a new level each day until December 25, Christmas Day itself.
Mission in Snowdriftland was the result of a 2006 co-operative effort between Tons of Bits' parent company and Nintendo. Chubby the Snowman was tasked with making his way across 24 stages to retrieve stolen game files from the evil penguin El Pix.
Players of the first Mission in Snowdriftland were rewarded for their efforts with custom backgrounds, ringtones, and icons, and Mission in Snowdriftland: Indie Games Edition is set to serve up more of the same.
Chubby returns on December 1, 2010, except this time around toting various bits and bobs from Chick Chick Boom and a clutch of other independently made games, almost all of which appear on the Wii's WiiWare channel if not elsewhere.
Games highlighted include And Yet It Moves (available for Wii, Windows, Mac, Linux), the Bit.Trip series (Wii, iOS, PC, Mac), Max and the Magic Marker (Wii, Windows, Mac, Windows Mobile), NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits (Wii, Windows, Mac), Spirits (iPad), Swords & Soldiers (Wii, Mac, PC, PlayStation 3), and Zombie Panic in Wonderland (Wii).
Mission in Snowdriftland: Indie Games Edition opens on December 1, 2010 at mission-in-snowdriftland.com.
