G&T Secret Santa 2011 - Get with the gifting!

cooljammer00 · October 2011

Man, this Secret Santa questionnaire in the OP is kinda tough. I don't want to give the wrong impression about myself, and I'm tempted to just say "fuck it" and let my prospective Santa do whatever he or she or it wants.

Also, where do we put no zombies?

Dunxco · October 2011

I must be the only person in this years' Secret Santa with no copy of World War Z. Just the survival guidebook.

And yeah I get what you mean. When you get right down to it, it's kinda hard to say "I like this and this and these are my hobbies."

cooljammer00 · October 2011

Well so far I have that I like video games. I mean, isn't that kind of obvious if I post here?

I don't have either of those. Not that I haven't seen them mentioned on the internets.

I have the book and the audio book. The audio book is abridged but completely 100% worth it. And not just because I had a huge crush on Alan Alda from growing up watching M*A*S*H reruns. And M*A*S*H is awesome, and not just because I grew up in Toledo, OH near Tony Packos.

cooljammer00 · October 2011

Wait, Alan Alda reads the audiobook?

It's a full cast production. Some notable names are Alan Alda, Mark Hamill and Henry Rollins. It's really well done.

cooljammer00 · October 2011

Welp, I just threw my santa hat into the ring.

Scared and excited.

urahonky · October 2011

My Steam wishlist is horribly out of date too. Basically try not to buy me a game, Santa. Unless you are 100% sure I don't have it and I'd love it.

AnteCantelope · October 2011

My list of what I have is up to date, but I don't think I have any up-to-date wishlist. hell, my Backloggery wishlist says I'd like Zelda: Majora's Mask on VC, but that it hasn't been announced yet, and that's been out for what, two years?

Pemulis · October 2011

Finally back home and made the signup before the deadline (I hope). Haven't posted that much since grad school (damn real job!), but I'll try to post a bit more. I will also update this post or make another with some hints and/or ideas in case my Santa gets stuck.

The Mantiz · October 2011

Finally signed up for this.

I think I have followed the threads the past 3 years, and every time I regretted that I didn't participate. BUT NOT THIS YEAR!!

Spoiler:

Hypatia · October 2011

Sorry for the confusion, I intended for sign-ups to close at 11:59:59pm on Halloween night, but what that really means is they close when I wake up on November 1 and stumble to the computer.

So if you know anyone else who you see missing on the participants list that you just know is going to post in 2 days saying, "Did I miss it?!" Make sure that they get a PM in!

As of right now the list is up to date, so if you thought you signed up and don't see yourself on the OP, please PM again!

I have neither book.

Speaking of, I should probably add World War Z to my wishlist.

PS: Dunxco, your sig doesn't appear to link to your Amazon wishlist (the link just goes straight to the homepage for making wishlists on Amazon UK)

SirUltimos · October 2011

For what it's worth, I keep both my Backloggery and DVDaf page meticulously updated.

Aha, thank you for pointing that out. Fixing it post-haste!

Nah. I don't have it.

So tomorrow is Nov. 1st, which officially begins Christmas season in my opinion. Prepare yourselves for the youtube Christmas music videos.

Cornell002 · October 2011

Can I get Santa'd up please?

Shady3011 · October 2011

I'm the first post, and I'm one of the last people to sign up. What's up with that? :rotate:

initiatefailure · November 2011

what are the odds I get a German PAer who works for Freitag to get me a cool new bag made out of a recycled truck for much cheaper than they charge us dumb american design loving people as my santa?

A man can dream damn it.

Can't believe I almost missed the signup!

Quick and dirty. And also kind of gross.

UnbreakableVow · November 2011

Mannnn

I have loved doing the SS so much the past few years, but I'm really lacking funds this year, which is a shame

At least I get to watch the joy from a distance

cooljammer00 · November 2011

Half the fun is throwing yourself into it, funds be damned!

I sit next to a German dude in my office - I could arrange for him to ship you one if you're that desperate!

freelancepolice · November 2011

eep, hope I didn't miss the cut off. Been meaning to sign up to this every year.

I guess I have to start leaving a breadcrumb trail of stuff I like now right?

Mark Hamill does an incredible job, as always. It really is a superb audiobook, the whole way through. Just as worth it as the book is.

Jam Warrior · November 2011

If we're almost at dishing out time I guess it's time for the hints post! I like to think that I keep a pretty low internet profile and am not too stalkable, so let's see this as an outside audit

Don't worry, you're not alone. We can sip cocoa together by the fire waiting for WWZ.

- All things Nintendo, esp Mario and Zelda. If you can find something to add to the Zelda collection (click on sig pic) then well done!

That is an amazing collection, but I see a lack of Zelda: OOT pocketwatch!

I put alot of stuff in my PM, but I forgot my wishlist. Spoilered if you dont want to see it.

Did someone ask for a Santa hat?

Dr. Phibbs McAthey · November 2011

A wild DR. PHIBBS HINT POST appears! (cribbed shamelessly from Jam Warrior's formatting)

Marth · November 2011

Thanks see! <3

Although the forum says it's too big to be my profile pic

SwashbucklerXX · November 2011

See317, that Christmas Lily is a thing of beauty! Looks like avatar picture uploading is broken, but once it's fixed I'm so sporting her. Thank you!

Edit: Fixed now and faabulous!
