The holiday season is here, and as we have mentioned before, it’s very easy to send digital gifts to people next door, or around the globe via the Impulse Store . I decided to create a Gift Guide for Impulse to give people some ideas for gifts, or for themselves.
Day 1 is dedicated to casual gamers. These could be people who aren’t “hardcore” gamers, but still enjoy playing some games on their PC during leisure time.
Games for Casual Gamers:
Kitten Sanctuary
This game has been widely popular in the Stardock office. I mean who wouldn’t want to rescue and keep the kittens safe! |
 |
World of Goo
This award winning puzzle and construction game is a must-have in any gamers’ library, casual or not. |
 |
City Rain
City Rain is another addicting game where building literally fall from the sky and rely on you to rescue and organize the cities. |
 |
Flock
This is one of my personal favorites. You pilot a UFO while trying to herd animal life back to the Motherflocker. |
 |
Braid
Braid is a visual masterpiece. This is a puzzle-platformer with a “painterly” style. Another addictive game that you will spend countless hours on. |

A few months ago I thought it would be fun to get some of the community together and create a holiday suite that everyone could enjoy. With the gracious help of a bunch of skinners, I’m happy to present the WC Community Holiday Suite 2009! This was a group effort, and we want to give a special thanks to Xiandi who created the WindowBlinds skin, which led the way for the rest of the skins to be created. The entire suite , which was put together by Philly0381 includes a...
Yes, this is definitely a Monday. Well I hope all of you had a great weekend and a good Monday. We will start the week off with some of the featured picks from over the weekend. Check them out!
I haven’t used Skype much in the past, but now I’m using it more often, and it seems the mic on my PC isn’t the best for it. It seems the consensus is that a headset type setup is best. Any recommendations with links?
Wow, it’s already December? The holiday season is rapidly approaching, and if you missed out on any of the recent Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals or just want more, Impulse will be having more big holiday sales coming soon.
I wanted to remind you that it’s very easy to purchase gifts for others on Impulse. The best part is there is no need to worry about shipping as their digital gifts are sent nearly instantly. It’s a great way to give gifts to friends and family. I wrote a quick guide on how to do it here .

Friday is once again here! Lots of great skins came in this week, and there just isn’t enough space to list them all in TWiS, but here are some of my favorite picks of the week!
The first week of December is upon us! The holiday skins are pouring in, and the WC Holiday Community Suite is just about complete, and that turned out great! Don’t forget we have a contest going on where the grand prize winner will receive an ATI video card courtesy of AMD. This contest is for Winter animated wallpapers, and you don’t have to be a 3D expert now that DeskScapes 3 support hybrid static .dreams. More info about the contest can be found here:&n...
The last poll we had on WinCustomize asked if you were upgrading to Windows 7, and the overwhelming majority of you said yes. I am also noticing quite a bit of screenshots featuring Win7, so I think it’s safe to say many of you are enjoying Win7 as much as we are. This latest poll is about Wallpapers. Specifically, it’s asking what types of wallpapers you like most. I’d really like to get our wallpaper gallery going again, and this will help to get a general idea&...
Can you believe it is already December? As usual, we have the monthly desktop screenshot thread up in the forums where you can show off your holiday or winter desktop. Head over and post your desktop !
Stardock has released Object Desktop 2010 today! Object Desktop is a suite of desktop enhancement programs designed to allow users to personalize the Windows experience to their liking.

A couple of months back, we mentioned that with the release of Object Desktop 2010 , we will be merging the Object Desktop Ultimate and Object Desktop Standard into one single package again. You can read a great overview of Object Desktop here . Starting sometime today, we are going to start the merging of Object Desktop. Users with current Object Desktop Ultimate editions will have their subscriptions extended another year. If you are a current Object Desktop stan...
Windows 7 is out, and so is WindowBlinds 7. The perfect match for having a beautiful and styled PC desktop. While the release of the new WinCustomize has been slightly delayed, you will be able to sort through skins that are Win7 compatible, along with a bunch of improved gallery features. More info about that later. Since people have been looking for skins that will work with Windows 7, I wanted to feature a few so they can easily be found. If you have others, ...
The wallpaper contest we had over the summer was a huge hit. We received tons of entries and it was very difficult in picking the overall winner. Since the holidays are coming up I thought another contest was in order. This time we will focus on animated wallpapers since DeskScapes 3 was recently released, and the new hybrid .dream feature makes it easy to create .dreams from static wallpapers. So here we go!
