How did we get to 15 of these?

The days are short and the nights are long (except for you southern hemisphere folk who must constantly endure the seasonal attitudes of your northern neighbors).

Ladies, gentlemen, and folks beyond the binary, welcome to Battle of the Bits' most prestigious and time venerated tradition under the chiptune umbrella!

ITS TIME FOR PARTY CHIPTUNE VIOLENCE!

Who will out compete the other competitors in this competition?!?

ALL n00BZ!!! :D/
