    I can't find my santa-ed dove anywhere (my computer must have eaten it!). Now that I've sent off my Santees gifts, could some very clever person please santa hat me?
    Thank you xoxoxoxo

    I love doing christmas avatars. It's like little bursts of cheer.
    Second one's not as clean around the cane but I can fix it up if you like.

    Well...if you love doing them...

    Think you could Santa-fy my Lady Gaga av?

    You've had quite a few variations over the last month or so, is there a specific one you want me to santafy?

    I really hope my santee likes his stuff, I'm not really into the kind of gaming he does, so I don't know what is cool or not.

    Also, I hope he is not going to be a deadbeat. I haven't seen him in here for a while.

    EDIT: Plus, it will not be a PS3 :( I don't have much money these days, sadly.

    This is a friend of mine, as I do not have a PS3. Then you can see what trophies they have and pretty much see a games list of what they own.

    Note that some games don't have trophies, like Afrika, or had them patched in later, like Uncharted 1. So a trophy list isn't a 100% guarantee.

    I got a nice surprise yesterday. I got a package from my Secret Santa. From the weight of the package, it felt like a single game. I thought to myself, "Sweet. Something to play this weekend."

    I open it up and am thrown aback by the wrapping paper.

    Mother fucking shit.

    I start to wonder what game it could possibly be. I had already played Sonic 2006, so it had to be worse than that. I honestly was stump. Can you guess? Here are some review excerpts for the game:

    I haven't recieved anything from my Santa yet, but I wasn't expecting to get anything yet either. Right now I'm hoping my Santee will not have any problems getting the package I sent. It's been about two weeks and I'm worried that customs might frig around with it since I fudged the values on the form (otherwise my Santee would have to pay duty on it).

    Well, I'm done. I got up to stage 77 before I died. I got reckless near the end. The AI is retarded plain and simple. It's not aware of your presence in the lower levels and pretty much relies on group bombardment tactics at the higher ones.

    Without getting too much into the minutiae of the mechanics, it's safe to say that the achievements you can get are easy but time consuming. The online achievements are impossible since no one else will ever play this game at the same time as you will. Even if they did, some are just downright masochistic (100 time up draws).

    Act Zero isn't a broken piece of shit like Sonic 2006 is. The problem with Act Zero is that it's mind numbingly boring. The graphics are bland along with the atrocious color hue. The game never changes. It's the same shit over and over until you wise up and turn off the game.

    Sonic 2006 is still worse than Act Zero from a gameplay perspective. There aren't any fucked up physics, retarded jumps, a shitty camera (though First Person Bomber is a retarded mode and isn't in first person), horrible story, and so on.

    Really, Sonic 2006 is still to me the bottom of the barrel in terms of 360 games.

    I should also emphasize that just because Act Zero isn't worse than Sonic 2006, it doesn't mean that it still isn't one of the worse 360 games I've ever had the displeasure of playing. The only solace I have is that I didn't pay for it, but that only means my Santa is a jackass.

    I'm sure my Santa never meant this to be my real gift. If it is then I do have to say that I'll watch what I say next time.

    As for making my Santee play a bad game, I had said it in jest and never really planned to do it. Otherwise, you would have seen someone else talking up another bad game by now.
    Seriously, I can't tell if Shady is being serious. Either way it's hysterical.

    If it's my real gift, then it's by far the worst gift ever in the history of forever.
    Oh god your little XBL Sig is tainted by that game now.

    Probably as bad as when I had Sonic 2006 in rotation. :?

    On a final note, if my Santa is done "gifting" me you can step forward so I can punch you in the throat. Otherwise, what's your goal for me? This game never ends in a sense.

    That's true, but if he meant new condition then he is right which actually shocked me since I hope my Santa didn't pay more than $5.

    Like I said, Sonic 2006 is definitely the cheer zapper when it comes to bad 360 games. At least this doesn't drag on for nearly 20 grueling hours.

    And yeah, it's new condition. I received something along the lines of two used DVDs, a CD-R, and some candy. I didn't mind at the time because I hadn't gotten an actual gift in years.


    And because the Secret Santa from another board made up for it in spades.
