    Packing or clear tape is the norm for shipping. Masking tape isn't meant to seal cause the adhesive dries up pretty quick during shipping.

    I coulda swore I sent a package with masking tape on it before. But they wouldn't even let me tape over the masking tape with their priority tape, said I had to take it off. So I just duct taped the entire thing and then used kraft paper to wrap all that up and use the brown shipping tape.

    So sorry, Santee, for making it so hard for you to open my package. :)

    Arikado has a liberal tape agenda.

    That's nothing a sharp knife won't fix.
    I dare you to put 'open with hands only' on the package, even if it doesn't matter!

    Since no one in the art forum answered my question, I will ask here.

    Does anyone have suggestions on using markers for art? Like, maybe a brand or something to finalize the image (like a primer of some type)? If not, I will just improvise.

    Shitty day, but coming in here puts a smile on my face.


    You'll have to tell me exactly what you're trying to do. You can send a PM if you like.

    I sent you a PM!

    Oh man. I can't wait for the forums to get merged. I am gonna create a Christmasfied (?) NHL 11 thread. I can't wait!

    Oh, and santee, I just have to do some artsy fartsy stuff, get you two more things, and then the wrapping and sending begins!

    edit: Santeeeee. I am drawing thumbnails of your giftttttt.

    edit: Yea, I am still up. Santee, I am awesome. This gift...I don't know how you won't like it. Hopefully my rough drafts are an exact preview to the final project, because if they are, I am not going to want to give this thing away.

    I think that's when signups ended and we got the santees a few days later.

    So far I've ordered one thing to send out as a gift, but I kinda feel it isn't enough alone and that something else should be sent along with, but I'm not sure what.

    On Christmas or the day before or so, the forums become one forum. Only for a couple days, then they go right back, but it is just a fun time for all of us to forget what faction of PA to which we belong, and hold hands across the boards!



    And Santa, I didn't respond to the PM from the elf, I don't want to tie up his inbox, but I did get your message!

    I should have remembered that. I thought our forum as a whole, as in forums.penny-arcade.com was going to merge with another one. Derp :zzz:

    The Christmas forums hold some of my favorite memories on PA. I was too terrified to post much in the Hanukkah forum, though. Infractions and bans were flying left and right for not properly pretending to be Jewish, and I was paranoid that I would slip up.

    Dear Santa:

    I was reading back through some of the pages.. And a post by Figgy (I think) that I missed really hit home. It was about how writing big ass lists of games we want isn't the purpose of this Secret Santa business. It's about stalking. Getting to know your Santee. Getting them something that you have put time and care into. Not just randomly choosing $40 worth of crap from their Amazon list and calling it a day.

    So with that said.. If you haven't got me anything yet, then please ignore my massive essay I wrote you when I first signed up. As a last resort, sure, use it. But I in no way wanted to specifically direct you to anything in particular. A shopping list was not my intention if it came off that way.

    Love,
    Remlap

    I graciously thank my Santa whoever he is.

    And to my Santee I'm still putting your gift together.

    Hurray! You have another gift on the way as well. Consider one a Christmas Present and one a Birthday Present. Amazon wouldn't let me add gift wrapping messages or anything, hence the lack of notification. But it's me! I'm your santa! Hurray holiday cheer!

    To my Santa, if you could proxy me to let me know when whatever has been shipped, that'd be awesome. I live in a mildly sketchy neighborhood and having a package lifted from my front porch is not an entirely unlikely thing.

    Santee: I just finished wrapping your presents. Yay. Now I just need to work on your letter, but a few finishing touches on everything, and get everything packed safely in the box. It's going to be pretty snug, so I hope no one kicks the box or anything. Or drops it. Or drops anything on it.

    They are selling MS points in 1400 point chunks now? How expensive is that? This is one of those things that really pisses me off about MS, they used to sell 2000 points for 20 bucks, then decided the could just without notice or reason change it to 1800 for 20 bucks just to make more money.
