    I'm not familiar with that Batman book, but that's a super classy cover. I also misread "Voodoo Potato Chips" as "Doodoo Potato Chips" at first. I was very confused!

    The batman book is a murder mystery. It's interactive. Has pull-out coroner's reports, notes that were discovered, etc.

    That sounds pretty awesome. I have a Sherlock Holmes book kind of like that. It's written up like one of Watson's journals and has reproductions of documents and evidence from a handful of cases. No interactive mystery, though.

    Probably far too late news flash.

    Santa, I have an unhealthy love for crisps (or chips as you are statistically likely to call them) and am utterly unable to resist trying new flavours. Foreign crisps would make excellent (if probably technically illegal) packing material if you intend on posting me things!

    Send him some of the strange fish flavored Japanese chips.

    Do it do it do it!

    Nooooo! The prominent crisp company here did theme flavours for each country in the last football world cup. England got 'Fish and Chips'. It was beyond vile. Fish does not a good crisp flavour make.

    A package arrives! I call in for reinforcements.
    2011-11-23155353.jpg


    A simple note with a customized spoiler tag. I think my Santa tried to wrap the gifts in the spoiler but it slipped out of in-transit, I think.
    2011-11-23155438.jpg


    And here is the haul!
    2011-11-23155539.jpg

    Big thanks to my Santa. I will see to it that these points get used/abused! As for the game, I'd love to have a crack at it but both my guitars aren't 100% and I have tons of games on my plate the moment. But I promise I'll check it out.

    EDIT: HOLY BALLS HUEG PIX. Brb, resizing.

    EDIT 2: Alright. Better.

    So I got part of my Santee's order in today and one of the items was opened, poorly taped shut, and beat all to hell. Unacceptable for gifting. So I got a hold of them and they are shipping me a replacement with bumped up two day shipping, not that it'll matter with the holiday, but it was nice they did it. Hopefully mid next week I can get out this gifting bundle of joy.

    I just want to note that I'm allergic to crustaceans, so shrimp and crab are very undesirable things to me. Even artificially flavoured, what little I've had of any of those I've not really enjoyed, so ... please, nobody send me any of those ... 'treats'. >_<
    On a shelf they look pretty cool though!

    What's this? A wild package appears! Miles Davis investigates.
    IMG_1017.jpg

    It looks safe inside, but Miles sniffs for bombs just to make sure.
    IMG_1019.jpg

    I start pulling stuff out, but Miles gets impatient and decides to help.
    IMG_1022.jpg

    With him preoccupied, I examine my goodies. First up:
    IMG_1025.jpg
    Dead Space 2! I've been wanting this one for a while, but I've been preoccupied with other stuff and never got around to it. Now I need to man up and finish the first one so I can play this one.

    Also, a CD of the Greatest Video Game Music by the London Philharmonic! I know this has been discussed here somewhere and I've really been wanting to hear it. This may be my musical accompaniment for my journey to work tomorrow morning.

    What do we have next?
    IMG_1027.jpg
    Rice!

    IMG_1028.jpg
    BBQ Sauce!

    I don't know if I've ever mentioned it here but I love me some BBQ sauce. I am super excited for this. And the rice sounds real good too, I usually just eat boring white rice. I'm already planning tomorrow's dinner.

    Hey Miles, we haven't checked in in a bit, you doing ok?
    IMG_1029.jpg

    He is super pleased to have received some bubble wrap. Santa covered everything.

    Finally, the coolest part:
    IMG_1033.jpg
    IMG_1031.jpg

    Game of Thrones shot glasses! Stark, Lannister and Targaryen. So, so awesome.

    They come with instructions:
    IMG_1035.jpg

    I don't have much alcohol on hand at the moment, so I had to break in the Stark glass with some Jack Daniels.
    IMG_1034.jpg

    Cheers, Santa!

    The whole haul:
    IMG_1037.jpg

    Thanks so much, Santa Cloudeagle!

    I'm still many pages behind, so this has probably been said already, but if it HASN'T, may I recommend the following for the Targaryn shotglass?

    Haha, nope, I am not your Santa, but I'm loving the books you sent me so much, I felt obliged to get you some Bastion on the sale as a thank you. Because even santas deserve thank you's!

    That sounds brutal. And a perfect fit for that glass. I'd try it but I think I might die.

    Untitled3-1.png
    My desktop says I don't think we need to worry about that.
    I have nearly bought both of those games so many times, when they were on 360 I held out for a PC release, when they were on PC I held out for a sale, when they were on sale I was too dumb to buy them. And now I don't have to!

    And I know the video has my street name in it so I shouldn't link it here... but whatevs, it's not uncommon.

    Now Bastion has finished downloading, so if you don't mind, I'm off to enjoy my very generous Santa's gifts.
    P.S., thanks for putting so much effort in Santa, you're making the rest of us look bad :(
