    Oh yeah! Got my gift!

    This video is quite appropriate.

    So there's been some truly awesome gifts this year. My SS though, he picked a gift that would let the world know how awesome it is, and by association how awesome I am.
    scaled.php?tn=0&server=615&filename=923sm.jpg&xsize=640&ysize=640

    That's a hat and shirt from The Miz, one of my favorite recent wrasslers. I been needing some WWE merch, and these two items are perfect. And then my SS got me L4D2, which is a game I never tried but meant to.

    Thanks so much TSI Awesome! Awesome gifts from an awesome forumer.

    There should also be a The Miz pendant in the box. Glad you like it!

    Okay,

    As always, I send an experienced explorer to check out the goods.
    A mysterious letter! Robots? Santas? Apparently my gift this year is my precious life.

    Thank you, Anoffday!
    I used a proxy to gift you VVVVVV too. Did you get that?
    OMG Guys, GIFT GET!

    They tried to deliver a package to me on Saturday, but I wasn't at home. So I left a note on my door for them to leave it at the apartment office today, which they did. I waited ALL DAY LONG knowing that my gift was at home!
    A wild box appears! Mista Snowman is sent to investigate!
    5278951002_e24fd273e7.jpg

    Alright, Mista Snowman, let's open 'er up!
    5278953322_fb8b680f4b.jpg

    What's this? Instructions Inside? We better open at once! Oh hey, a thumb drive!
    5278962532_d77b785932.jpg

    I guess I should plug it into my computer! The drive included three files: A word doc and two Powerpoint files. Powerpoint? What the heck? I should probably read the letter.
    Letter pt 1:
    Seasons Greetings Cameron_Talley!

    I hope this package finds you well. I am sorry that this has taken so long to get to you, but I assure you that much lovingly and Christmasy care went into everything. I hope that more than makes up for the tardiness. Anyways, there are many good things to be found within. The wrapped gifts are pretty self explanatory. Feel free to open them now and enjoy them before we get down to business. :)

    MANY GOOD THINGS! Awesome! Let's get to unwrapping!

    (I am shamed to find that I didn't take any pics of the gifts wrapped. :( I'm sorry, Santa! ).

    Look, Mista Snowman! It's a documentary about alcoholic advertising men!
    5278958394_a454947357.jpg

    I got into Mad Men this year and got Seasons One and Two, but hadn't gotten Season Three yet! So now I can catch up on Don Draper's exploits!

    But wait! Another wrapped gift!

    5278960916_5580dc0268.jpg

    It's SUPER SCRIBBLENAUTS! Hooray! I've wanted this game for a LONG time--I have a BA in English and creating things by writing just sounds SO awesome!

    Oh hey....There's some MORE stuff in the box! It's....plastic bags full of ABS plastic contruction toys? Just what the heck is this?
    5278955470_ecfc42d750.jpg

    I guess I better read the rest of the letter.
    Letter Pt. 2:

    As you have probably noticed, inside your package are two baggies filled with Legos. One has the number one on it, the other, the number two. They correspond to the two PPT files on this thumb drive. The PPTs are instructions for each set, and should be correct. I checked them a few times for accuracy, but you never know…may have missed something. I do assure you that all the required pieces are present! I think…

    Anyways, these are two custom 8-bit sets that I think you will like a lot. I certainly had a blast putting them together, and while the entire process got tedious at times I’m very happy with how everything turned out. I haven’t played with Legos in a long time, so that was a nice nostalgia trip.

    CUSTOM Lego sets?!? 8-Bit sets! What? Holy CRAP!

    I guess we better get to BUILDING!
    5278964820_c5760ea82e.jpg

    Here's the Powerpoint file for Set 1. Come on, Mista, let's get that bag open


    5278359793_4d0ffc86b3.jpg

    Alright, Time to build! Ok, I need this piece and this piece and...HEY! What are you DOING Mista Snowman!?!?

    5278362423_59d8e66614.jpg

    That's just Sick, Mista.

    Ok, this is starting to look like...I don't know what.
    5278972560_6b591e3a5f.jpg

    Better Build some more...
    5278370491_cefeaffd09.jpg

    Hey, that almost looks like...Yes it is!
    5278376605_3233876b6b.jpg

    It's a-me! Mario!


    But wait! There's a whole 'nother bag still!

    Here's another Instruction screen. My Santa included piece call-outs and Everything. Building was Super-easy!
    5278989016_02de40fc4f.jpg

    Lego must be built on the carpet in front of the TV. No exceptions.

    Hey, this guy looks familiar too!
    5278383763_70d0e2077d.jpg

    Yes, it's a SUPER MUSHROOM!
    5278388267_519dd56abb.jpg

    What an AMAZING Secret Santa Gift. But wait? Who was my Santa?

    Let's read part 3 of the letter!
    Ok, I think that’s everything. I hope you enjoy everything. I wish you and your family all the best over the holidays.

    From Your Santa,
    crucialityfactor

    P.S. I guess this thumb drive is a gift as well. It’s from the company I work for. Not much space…but good for purposes such as these.
    Oh yeah, a thumb drive, too. Wait, what am I saying.... crucialityfactor was my Santa! Thank you SO much for this awesome gift! Really made my Christmas. I will display your Lego gifts in a place of honor!
    Oh hey, looks like Norfair was crucialityfactor's Santa. And I was Norfair's santa. Another triangle! And we all three had Lego-related gifts! *Twilight Zone Theme*


    Here's a picture of the whole haul:

    And of course, MERRY CHRISTMAS!



    That was an awesome idea with the legos. Good work.

    Haha, I wondered if we would all end up in one of the Secret Santa triangles, but I didn't want to say anything and possibly spoil the identity of your Santa. The Lego Mario and Super Mushroom are awesome.

    I'm dressed up as Santa today for our office Secret Santa. I look ridiculous, I'm 5foot5 with a 30" waist. This suit is clearly NOT designed for my stature. I look like Santa Claus's son playing dress up.

    Also my santee should have his/her present today, if they haven't got it already. The tracking number I gave out appears to be faulty so I must have wrote it down wrong (d'oh!).

    Been recieving some proxy messages to say my gifts should have been recieved, but nothing until this morning when an annoyed/cold looking postman knocked at the door with a box! Looking at the shipping details it is revealed that Amazon are butts because it was ordered on the 29th Nov. (I got excited and opened it before stopping to take pictures :oops:)
    boxgd.jpg

    Delicious snack a jacks hide their home.
    papernw.jpg

    Yay paper! I love paper! Oh wait there is stuff underneath!
    bookm.jpg

    Books! The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. I confess I haven't heard of him but after a quick google/wikipedia it looks perfect. I love fantasy and imagine I will probably have to buy the next two in the series, I hate not having a full trilogy :O I'm also just about to finish Matter so this should keep my bookworm side busy over Christmas!
    candc.jpg

    Games! Command and Conquer the first Decade, pretty much all the RTS you could ever need. I used to play Tiberian Sun and Firestorm religiously when I was younger but never kept a hold of my copy. Also I admit I never actually played Red Alert, but now I can play the original and 2!
    tpbg.jpg

    Canadians! The full box set of Trailer Park Boys. I have caught a couple of random episodes and from what I've seen it's hilarious but I never knew the characters or what was going on, but now I will! I also love the faux gonzo/documentary style of comedy so this was a perfect choice.

    Everthing together:

    titlevn.png ... ish?

    So since this is XMas week, I wanted to give my Santa some pleasure at least. Sorry, I couldn't wait any longer and opened up your first package you sent, which contained:

    edit: Image breaking h-scroll rape --> Go here to see it http://shop.zombiepodcast.com/Were-Alive-Season-1-Box-Set-10001.htm

    It's "We're Alive: A Story of Survival" Season 1! I've read some of the reviews online and this sounds absolutely amazzzzzing. I've been looking for something else (in regards to) zombies to get into and this could be it. I'm super pumped.

    Part II though, I was told through proxy I should have received already but I haven't. So Santa, whomever you are, I just want you to know that I'll definitely be listening to Part I soon, but I'm not sure what to tell you about what else was sent.

    Thanks again for Part I though!

    Hrm. I'm going to go ahead and say "Hey, I'm your Santa!" since we're in a gift triangle anyway and I'm concerned enough. Your package may be severely delayed - one that I sent after yours to someone further away has already arrived, so I'd assume that it's one of the ones that Royal Mail have put to one side. They get fined for every late delivery, so they prioritise new mail over already late mail, and it may be that yours is late and therefore stuck in a bit of a holding pattern. I hope you get it soon.

    I'm glad you're looking forward to We're Alive, I really enjoyed it. It's definitely an amateur production and has some clear influences from elsewhere, but it works as a great little radio play.

    The name of the wind is seriously awesome. I read it a couple years ago and have since read it a couple more times.

    The GREAT news for you is that you don't have to wait long for the 2nd book. It comes out in March.


    ....


    Some of us have been waiting for YEARS for the 2nd book.

    There are many of them, due to how the computer program handled the random assignment of santas, but not everyone is part of one. Hypatia said that it wasn't worth the time it would take to reprogram the software to avoid the gifting triangles.

    Been recieving some proxy messages to say my gifts should have been recieved, but nothing until this morning when an annoyed/cold looking postman knocked at the door with a box! Looking at the shipping details it is revealed that Amazon are butts because it was ordered on the 29th Nov. (I got excited and opened it before stopping to take pictures :oops:)
    boxgd.jpg

    Delicious snack a jacks hide their home.
    papernw.jpg

    Yay paper! I love paper! Oh wait there is stuff underneath!
    bookm.jpg

    Books! The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. I confess I haven't heard of him but after a quick google/wikipedia it looks perfect. I love fantasy and imagine I will probably have to buy the next two in the series, I hate not having a full trilogy :O I'm also just about to finish Matter so this should keep my bookworm side busy over Christmas!
    candc.jpg

    Games! Command and Conquer the first Decade, pretty much all the RTS you could ever need. I used to play Tiberian Sun and Firestorm religiously when I was younger but never kept a hold of my copy. Also I admit I never actually played Red Alert, but now I can play the original and 2!
    tpbg.jpg

    Canadians! The full box set of Trailer Park Boys. I have caught a couple of random episodes and from what I've seen it's hilarious but I never knew the characters or what was going on, but now I will! I also love the faux gonzo/documentary style of comedy so this was a perfect choice.

    Everthing together:
    allnt.jpg
    Santa you are awesome, but who are you?! I have you name from the shipping details but not your forum name emot-worship.gif
    Woot! Mere_Immortal, I was your santa! I absolutely love that show, book, and games, so I hope you do too!

    Now if I could only figure out who my Santa is...

    Dear Santa: Loot acquired. My cell camera is shitty (and I left my flash on like a tard) and I'll reshoot the haul with my nice camera when I wake up (night job).

    Here's a teaser of one of my presents:

    I like the gifting trinity, though now that stormwatcher has received his stuff I can say that it does make finding out who your Santa is a bit easier. I had a good hunch icemopper was my Santa before I got my gifts.

    Though that could be due to catching him watching me shower

    I'm not actually your Santa! Your actual santa was.. unable to fullfill their Santa obligations. So ThePain73 and I stepped in to be your early easter bunnies, since we didn't want you to have to wait til after the holidays for presents. Hope you can enjoy the games! But shower praise mostly on ThePain73 haha. We just bought all the games from my steam account since it seemed easier that way.

    One of the best gifts I've seen this year. Worth noting things really pick up after Season 1. I just pretend like it doesn't exist and skip it whenever I go to watch the boys.

    But wait, I was already gifted hard! Well, JAEF is just that awesome.

    Woke up today to see two Steam games waiting for me:

    header_292x136.jpg?t=1291663426header_292x136.jpg?t=1289337722

    Very, very awesome, Sir JAEF!

    See, he had generously given me a 4000 point MS card as part of my original gift package, but alas I am Canadian. Point cards are region specific, and I cannot redeem it.

    Thanks again man!
