Original box art--feel the nostalgia!Today marks the birthday of Weapon of Choice and Xbox 360 Indie Games! Of course back on November 19th 2008, the service was called Community Games, but it's grown since.
The Microsoft homepage for all things XNA has a snazzy splash currently up with Constance fighting a nasty Scat Thrower (second from right).
Let's take a trip down memory lane...Here's a hilarious story about pricing the game:

Yeah, so much has been improved on Indie Games! Now we have price changing abilities, the Top Rated section and user ratings, and daily sales data.
And here's the first reported sales week on Major Nelson!

Anyway, Happy birthday WoC !
Fixed, thanks for the look out and the birthday wishes!

(WoC and In The Pit clink beers!)
Okay, old post but: Will there be an update that will remove outdated Death Brushing circles? Since the last update, old circles stay visible, even when the danger is over.
