A wild box uses literacy, it's super effective!
A book that Gabe and Tycho have posted about in the past, excited to get started on this one!
Ah, but there is more! Traitor attack!
This is an excellent board game, super fun! The best part about it is how that game changes each playthrough. Basically, at some point during the game, one of 50 tweests! happens that changes how the game will play out.
Wait a sec...there seems to be some sort of coded message on the gift receipt...
From the Desk of Evil Badman
Greetings Mr. ForceVoid!
I apologize for the somewhat impersonal letter this year, as I could not include it with your gifts. You were quite the strange person to stalk, with your fervent support of MMOs such as Final Fantasy XIV and World of Warcraft and continued posting in the Dungeons and Dragons thread in Critical Failures. Rather than pander to these specific tastes, I imagined that your tastes were similar to my own, an admitted WoW fiend and a dabbling 4th edition GM. As such, I think these two items should be up your alley. Hopefully, I did not stray far from the path.
Included herein are Patrick Rothfuss' The Name of the Wind, a marvelous novel which Gabe and Tycho were recently praising highly. It is a fantastic fantasy novel and incredibly character driven. Additionally, in the event that you have friends outside of the computer screen, you can alienate them beyond all feasible means with your very own copy of the classic Betrayal at House on the Hill. A word of serious warning, however, the tiles tend to warp so you may want to place them beneath a heavy object to dissuade this.
A third gift for you has been planned, however I am unable to procure it at this time. Needless to say, I believe that this one is blatantly stolen from your wishlist:
How could I resist a game wherein you are in fact, an evil, bad man? As soon as this become available on steam, you will be receiving a gifted copy.
Merry Christmas and First Week of February!
EvilBadman
A third gift, from Steam no less! I must say I am chomping at the bit to play this new Dungeon Keeper-esque game, as the originals produced some very fine gaming memories in my youth.
EvilBadman, you may be a moustache-twirling villian, but you are a fine, fine Santa. Thank you so much!

I secretly feared you owned one or both of those. Thank god.
Did everyone end up getting a gift this year then?
Also, out of curiosity, does anyone know what year this was for G&T SS? I'm just wondering how long it's been going on.
I think my first one was either 2004 or 2005 (under an old username before we could politely ask for a name change). Captain K used to head them up, so he might know for sure?
I've finally landed back home after a busy christmas. A plethora of games was gifted to me over Steam by Ah_Pook.
Can't wait to get stuck into some labwork so I can sneakily play games whilst things are scanning away and these games will all run great on my laptop. So some mighty fine choices indeed.

I have received a snack-sized gift from my Santa to tide me over till the full feast arrives.
Bit.Trip Beat!
These games have tantalized me for quite awhile, and when I unlocked Captain Video in SMB I was even more curious. No longer shall these throwback amazingnesses taunt me, I shall dip into their world and taste of the fruits they've been hiding!
My santa will be revealed upon full gift post.

Awaiting my gift still, but a proxy informed me last week that things were being shipped on Monday so I should have it soon. I am waiting with a face!
Not to sound like a dick, but should gifts really be shipping after Christmas?
First of all, I went on vacation for a week so I had a timeframe set for my Secret Santa (both here and in SE++) to ship before or after it. I didn't plan on holding it against them if it was after, and I don't.
Second, if you're offended by it, you clarify it when you sign up. Me, I understand shit happens sometimes and a week or two delay may happen. I'm pretty forgiving.
Third, in the hypothetical situation that I didn't know the status, I signed up for this knowing there was a chance I'd get deadbeat'd on. But the reality is I'm not being deadbeated on.
So relax. Because you do sound like a dick.

Secret Santa is only tangentially related to Xmas, didn't you get the meme? (the last of my gifts was sent out yesterday and has to cross the Atlantic Ocean to reach it's destination)
Just keeping you in the loop Santa - my giftage has yet to arrive from the other side of the pond. Though I did receive a magazine subscription that I didn't personally buy... was that your doing? If so, I'll be sure to include it in my round-up.

What would you prefer? That Henroid decline his gifts because it's not Christmas?
That people ship Christmas gifts before January, I imagine.
Well he isn't a deadbeat.
If the gift is sent then it's fine.
People have lives that sometimes don't match up very well with other plans.
I agree that as long as a gift is sent it should be fine, but really, if you can't find time to get something sent in the month we had before Christmas you're probably too busy to be posting here.
A pair of Maverick Nerf guns, for me and "a friend". I perhaps suspect they are more likely to be used against enemies, in the dual wielded fashion. Thanks a lot Santa, they are excellent toys/weapons.
I didn't see any mention of who my Santa was, so please reveal yourself!
Also, this gift didn't arrive late, I'm just a lame Santee and didn't get a chance to post a picture yet.
Why would anyone sign up for Secret Santa and expect the gifts to arrive in the second week of January other than a shipping mishap? Shit Happens is reserved for an ailment, my car got wrecked, lost my job, or something of a somewhat serious nature. But for people to have a "finally got around to it" attitude is unacceptable.
Aside from that , awesome NERF guns! If you google it, some guys have gotten those Mavericks to look like Hellboys gun.
It's still the twelfth day of Christmas today, so technically gifts aren't being sent out after Christmas until tomorrow. Chill out :P
Well, no, the deadline was December 31st. You're not going to get banned if your Santee receives his gift a week or so late for whatever reason, but come on... you have had two months.
Just like the requirement of spending a minimum of $20 on your gift, there was a deadline for a reason. If it's okay to shrug off the deadline because you were just too busy, why isn't okay to shrug off the gift because you lost your job, couldn't get out to shop, etc?
