THANK YOU WRAITHXT1 AND SHYNNEE! EPIC STALKING AND PRESENTS! WE LOVE IT ALL!
Youre very welcome! I'm glad the two of you liked what I picked out, I had to sort through about six thousand posts in the TF2 thread to dig up those morsels of information =P I had a great time stalking you guys and I hope the tshirts are the right size! Big thanks to Shynnee who put everything together for me, since otherwise I'd have had to ship to to direct. Best Santee and best girlfriend ever!
So I got my package today! It arrived just as I had to leave for work, leaving me wondering all day what magic was contained inside. The packaging said "Fragile" which was odd, because I've never had a fragile package from a Santa before.
So I get home and get it open, and inside is a note, reading:
Mr. Kimmel (aka UnbreakableVow),
Merry Christmas, sir! Enclosed you shall find all the Christmas cheer that I could muster, contained conveniently in a nice package.
I hope that you enjoy your holiday and receive these in working and pristine condition. If there is a problem with these gifts, please contact me (I have also included a gift receipt for one of the gifts) and I will do everything in my power to make it right. That being said, enjoy!
Happy Holidays,
Steve Marks

Somehow my eyes glazed over the "s" (indicating plural) in "gifts" and I found a brown paper package inside, with the note: "More witchcraft and wizardry than any human could handle!" (This is a lie because I went to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter not even three weeks ago and I could still totally go for some more witchcraft, wizardry and butterbeer). Enclosed was this:
I actually have all the films individually on DVD (and recently bought the Years 1-6 Blu-ray set a couple weeks ago), but that's fine, because, thanks to my OCD nature (and an attempt to create precious shelf space), I usually get the thinnest packaging available even for films I already own, if the price is right (I'm currently working on replacing all my Buffy and Angel seasons with slim packs).
So I went to go put it on my shelf, and then grabbed the box to bring it outside and put it in the trash can.
Wait a minute.
This box is pretty heavy still, and that was certainly a lot of precautionary packaging for a DVD set...
So I went out to the shed, grabbed a shovel and proceeded to dig through the 50+ pounds of packing peanuts, and there's another brown package inside! This one had another note scribbled on it: "Hopefully this will help explain what the hell we watched over the last six years...if not, cool pictures!"
Holy shit that Encyclopedia. Jealousy all over here!
Santee: As soon as Amazon gets their arse in gear your present will be wrapped and shipped. End of the week at the latest - and if that's when it gets in I'll quick-ship it so it's there for Christmas.
Lo and behold, I saw the mail person stop in my driveway and was mystified as to why they would do that.
I got a box! from someone in this VERY THREAD!!
(sorry these pictures are huge. hm. how do i fix that?)
Oh no, My accounting book has become jealous! it attacks without remorse!!
After fending the beast off, with a tiny knife, i begin to examine the goods.
Jeepers! this is a LOT of cookies. i have tasted one, and feel like they would make superb icecream sandwiches
Oh no! BACK! BACK FOUL BEAST!
Awesome! a points card! This will more than likely buy Monday night combat or Super meat boy!
This last gift confused me a little bit....
Mostly because i never owned a PS3! Hm, let me check the note here...
MIGHTY,
I sincerely hope that this gift will bring you some great joy this holiday season, i'm glas to have recieved you as a Santee, and i had a real fun time stalking you.
Gift1: 1600 points card
I decided to give this to you since, while looking at your gamercard, i noticed that you played mostly XBLA games. With this i hope you can find a game or two you can enjoy!
Gift2: Infamous
Looking through your XBL gamercard, i noticed you seemed to enjoy Protoype a lot, so i went ahead and looked up your PS3 card as well... (editors note - i have a PS3 card??!) Mush to my surprise you have a single trophy! which means you havent even tried this game... i know you will enjoy it!!
Gift3: Pizzelles (with and without Anise oil)
Something for your sweet tooth (editors note - these are really tasty!!) These cookies were made by my wife, and i hope you will enjoy them! some are made with vanilla and some are made with Anise oil ( the same stuff in black licorice) try them both! the are originally meant to be made with Anise oil, but we included vanilla just in case you dont like the flavor of Licorice.
Merry Christmas, Mighty from your santa
URAHONKY
Heres the entire haul!! OH NO! the book returns for a final assault!!
Oh urahonky! you silly goose, these gifts are supreme!
Anise cookies! That sounds amazing. Must find recipe, and not burn down apartment.
Thank you, Santa, I now know what I'm going to buy LewieP's sister's bf for Christmas off LewieP's Mummy's Mummy! Oh, what complex names my family have!

After just now finding out about Amnesia, I started really wanting it, and lo and behold, StormWatcher gave it to me!!!
Huzzah!
And somehow, my "extra info" got mixed up with another forumer's, and S.W. got the wrong stuff. But, he asked politely what it was I was going to send, and I told him, and long story short, my mom was just diagnosed with Stage 3 Cancer and I didn't want anything but a donation, and StormWatcher is going to Donate!!! It made me have liquid pour out of my eyes at a steady rate for a short period of time, that is truly heart warming!
AND AS I TYPE THIS, he has done it again!!!
Saints Row 2!!! I've heard about all the fun that can be had on this, and I'm super excited to get started!!!
Thank you StormWatcher! You have really really made me so happy this morning!!!
HOLY SHIT YESSSSSSSSSSSS!
Golden Sun was probably my favorite GBA game ever, and probably my favorite RPG ever.
HOW DID HE KNOW I WAS WANTING THIS?!
Ohmygod im going to play the SHIT out of this!
Thankyou so much [MysteryPerson]. You are an amazing santa
I just want to apologize again for my lack of Gift Get messages. Things have been crazy on this end and I'm typing this on the fly. I want to do a legitimate gift get post, so consider it done come Monday. I actually have the post with all the tags SAVED at work I just didnt have time to post it. Apologies again, Santa, it is no reflection on you or your great gifts.
Glad you enjoyed your gift, Unbreakable. I knew the encyclopedia would be right up your alley, and as for the Harry Potter DVDS, I tried to exchange them for blurays after reading a post about you having a bluray player but Amazon wasn't being too kind about it. Let me know if there's anything I can do, otherwise, happy reading and watching!

You're making me blush
I'm glad I got things right even though I had the wrong extra info. And I'm glad the other dude who got the "Here's some Amnesia" email was nice enough to not claim it and let me know. Awesome dudes all around.
Now I have to find the right charity to donate. I know how hard that kind of thing is.
HOLY SHIT YESSSSSSSSSSSS!

Thankyou so much BlueBlue. You are an amazing santa
Well you are technically right - I am an amazing santa. But, I am not YOUR Santa. Like the subject of those pms said, I was a proxy!
THANK YOU WRAITHXT1 AND SHYNNEE! EPIC STALKING AND PRESENTS! WE LOVE IT ALL!
Youre very welcome! I'm glad the two of you liked what I picked out, I had to sort through about six thousand posts in the TF2 thread to dig up those morsels of information =P I had a great time stalking you guys and I hope the tshirts are the right size! Big thanks to Shynnee who put everything together for me, since otherwise I'd have had to ship to to direct. Best Santee and best girlfriend ever!
Oh god I'm so sorry.
My shirt is perfect, her's might be a little big (she is tiny!) but the shirt should shrink some when we wash it.
But again, excellent stalking man, really awesome.
Wait, so what's Stormwatcher gonna do with the stuff he's already bought?
Well, Icemopper ended up getting all the things (he only told me about the instructions today), and fortunatelly he seemed quite happy with them things.
I did donate something to a certain charity we ALL hold dear in these forums, and he should receive some sort of thing related to that soon.
I hope.
Also he got a new friend out of all this, and so did I. 8-)
Now I'm gonna punch some babies to feel manly and rugged again
I finally managed to get to the teleportation store today. unfortunately the portals were down, so I had to pay a man--I cannot believe they still do this sort of thing in this day and age--to drive the package to your house.
hopefully the contents survive the trip. There should be enough air in the package.
Mailed out my gift yesterday! And by 'mailed', I mean some amazon reseller is shipping it directly to you. Sadly that means I couldn't include anything personal and fun
Shipping it myself would have cost as much as the gift, though, and I'm just too poor for that ^^'
Damn international shipping.
Aioua on
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
Shipping for my international santee was crazy. Any package of weight over 400g gets slapped an extra $9, too. I assume the slaps get more firm and brazen as the weight increases.
All up the shipping for something that weighed about 600g I think, was AU$33.00. BUT! I more than believe the goodies inside are worth the cost
Package GET! It looks tasty, and is covered with my forum name... this must be mine!
On top is an awesome letter! I definitely remember you WilDPanthA, and the time we spent playing Phalla! I think that was the Mega 64 game... it felt so bad and yet so good at the same time! One of these days we should get back into it!
Books! Three fantastic looking books that I've not read! I recognize Neil Stephenson, so I can only imagine I'm going to love that one for sure. My wife says she's read Neuromancer and thinks I'll love it too, and the cover art alone on River of Gods is incredibly compelling! I can't wait to dig into these!
And what's this? WHERE DID YOU GET THIS? Seriously? This is so cool! FF VI for the WIN! I'm scared to mess it up so it won't adore my keychain, *but* it will definitely be the crown ornament on my desk for the rest of time! (Celes rocks! )
And the big bopper... I had been informed by proxy that there was something coming that originated in Hong Kong, and I couldn't figure out what it would be! It's the soundtrack to Final Fantasy VI! Check out the date on that! Holy crap! I don't know where or how you found that, but that's amazing man!!!
CHECK THAT DATE -> ->
PanthA, thank you SO MUCH! That was amazing, and an incredible amount more than I was ever expecting to get! You are awesome! Thank you so much! Have an awesomely fantastic Christmas! I'm going to pop in this CD!
Holy crap PanthA.... the soundtrack is being played by an entire orchestra! HOLY CRAP! That's amazing! I didn't even know they made something like this, I was expecting the 16 bit sounds... this is even better, it's amazing! It's an entire orchestra playing the FF VI songs! WOW! You win so hard!
EDIT: It is beautifully composed, I'm giving it a listen right now! I don't know how I've gone this long not knowing that this existed! It's so well done, it's really beautiful! You should hear their composition of Kefka's theme!
