So, I decided to go to my parent's house for Christmas, which means I will be gone from the 21st to the 28th (or something like that). If you think your gift will arrive between these dates, find a way to let me know and I will try to make arrangements with someone to pick it up. If you haven't sent it yet, I don't mind waiting until after Christmas if you can't guarantee it'll arrive before the 21st.
I just got an extra giftable copy of Telltale's Puzzle Agent (oddball Layton knock off, I enjoyed it) for PC for pre-ordering the Back to the Future game.
Who wants? I'll take the next six posts expressing an interest and roll a dice or something.
Yeah count me in if there's still a spot open. I like-a da puzzle games.
That's the normal time for a package to go from US to UK? I mailed my santee his gift last Wednesday, when should it arrive?

Okay UPS is inconsistent with tracking. With one package, I was able to see it progress everyday, and with another package I get a 5-day hiatus in updates.
At least I take back what I said last post. I have almost everything for my Santee.
It takes between 5 and 10 working days from the UK to the US, but slightly less the other way round - something to do with your distribution and collection skills, apparently.

I apologize, but my exams have prevented me from sending your package. This will be rectified tomorrow, and come hell or high water you will get it by Christmas, consequences be damned!
Thanks very much Santee! It's these sort of games (BIT.TRIP.BEAT. for some reason my browser didn't load the full image) that I love playing on my little netbook while at work to pass the time. Low resource requirements, high fun delivery Very excited to see what comes next
edit: Duhhh it's Bursar! Forgot to mention ya haha
Yay! Glad you enjoy it, and that my impenetrable smokescreen of secrecy utterly failed to preserve my identity. Heheh...

I ordered something from a website, and now reading reviews people say that it has taken up to a month for them t get their stuff.
Since it's actually the final piece I was waiting for, I might have to send out what I have right now and then send out a second box later. It's going a fair distance, so I definately want to make sure it gets there before Christmas.
Also, Santa! The ante has been raised in this thread. I will accept nothing less than a puppy.
Note completed, gifts packaged and sealed, addresses applied.
Santee, you have no idea how close to gifting you are. You could say we are close right now.
Can you feel me near you, Santee? Can you?
Breathing heavy?
Being creepy?
Feel meeeeeeeeee.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am grinning like an idiot right now at this!
Gift Get!
Psyche~
Actually I can't get packages at my apartment, meaning I won't actually get your gift until Saturday
Still, I couldn't help asking for the name on the return address, which your twitter reveals to be you! I am told it is a heavy package. I am excited.

I have the biggest shit eating grin on right now. I've been f5ing all day.
My Santee has the hardest name (handle, and real) to Google! I just, doesn't work!
Ahahahahahaha
I bet when you read it you thought "What a unique name! I will able able to google this easily, there definitely won't be a million pages about any actor who got his start on some soap opera"
Huzzah! The final part of my giftage outwards finally arrived today. If I pack it all up nice and post it out on my day off on Wednesday it might even make it for Christmas yet!
Haha, such a unique name he goes and registers that cocky domain name. It burns me SO BAD
Well, to save your f5 button from wear and tear, it will probably be around 1:00 pm cst that I will wind up posting about it! I will be literally shaking with anticipation all week!
Oh boy oh boy oh boy, girlfriend just said a package arrived for me at home. I wasn't waiting on anything, could it be Santa? Sure wish I didn't have six hours of class between now and when I get home.

Tis the season to skip class.
For what you pay per class at the average university? :P
I just received what can only be my Secret Santa present. To say that it's obvious they stalked the ever-loving shit out of me would be an understatement. They managed to get me a gift that was incredibly thoughtful, AND frickin' awesome.
I've always wanted one of those shaving brushes. That's a great gift, congrats!
A private message from Proxy the Elf confirms that the package waiting at home is indeed from my Seeecret Saaanta. I can't wait to open it! Photo documentation pending.
Oh, I have a news update for my Santee (even though it wont matter to him in the least). I have gotten a hold of the manager of the place that screwed up your one gift. They've alleviated the situation, and I SHOULD be able to get your gift out on schedule, for it to arrive just in time for X-Mas. Yay!
Hey, do people generally put there SS's name on the ship to?
Don't want USPS to screw it up because I'm shipping to some weirdo.
You should use your Santee's real name on the address label to avoid confusing the post office. I just note somewhere on the package that it's from PA/GnT Secret Santa in some way so my Santee will know pretty quickly why he or she got it, other people might do something different.

I have so much Christmas cheer to catch up on! Damned end of semester craziness!
On a brighter note, Santee, your gift is now en route. Here is a hint: This year, I am giving the gift of SCIENCE! Hope you like it

Even though snow days are like impossible at the college level. Which doesn't make any sense considering how many people have to drive to get there.
To whoever my santa was, THANK YOU.
