KetarCome on upstairswe're having a partyRegistered Userregular
The mail carrier brought a little something extra in yesterday's mail - a mysterious package! Not knowing what it could be, it was time once again to employ the services of package inspectors Coco and Spunky.
Coco was first on the scene:
After the initial inspection passed, she reviews the opened package:
Once the contents have been removed, inspector Spunky takes over:
Having met with the approval of both inspectors, a close-up of the contents:
Mmm, Pocky. I've only had it once before, but I remembered it as being quite tasty. And it was yet again, thanks Santa!
Let's take a look at the card:
Hmm, a mysterious identity. I is intrigued, Santa.
Wrapped item #1:
A poke-thingy! Heh, I've never really been exposed to Pokemon before, but I fully expect my son will be into them once he's old enough. What better time to start him than now? There appear to be some strong opinions on the forums on Oshawatt's value as a starter. Excellent.
Wrapped item #2:
Oh ho ho, I've heard about this one ;-) My wife and I laughed about the title and concept when I first saw it mentioned online. We laughed even harder last night as I read it aloud, even though we both felt slightly guilty afterward. Though not as guilty as I would have expected. A gift that hits close to home!
Wrapped item #3:
Who can't use a little invincibility when they're in trouble? Cute and whimsical, this star is hanging on the Christmas tree when we put it up. Hopefully high enough that my little guy can't get to it. Or the package inspectors. I think all 3 junior household members were equally intrigued by this one.
The entire haul:
But wait, let's look at that card again. There's more? You spoil me, Santa. But I have to figure out who you are or the gift gets it. Heavens to murgatroyd! Ok, there's a clue: look to the beginning to find the end. Let's see here. Is anything about the card or gifts a hint to my santa's avatar or name? Do we have a Pocky in the SS this year? Alas, no.
What else can I try? The beginning of the book? No luck there.
What about the card itself? Perhaps the first letter of each sentence? Hmm, M-Y-N-A-M-E-I-S- omg
My name is Slim Shady. Eminem is my Santa? It makes sense! Eminem would bust a cap in a gift if his santee didn't respect him enough to identify him correctly. And he totally seems like a pocky and Pokemon fan...Er wait, no...something's wrong here.
M-Y-N-A-M-E-I-S-M-I-G-H-T-Y
Ahh-hah! Santa Mighty! And a mighty wonderful Santa you are indeed! Thanks for the great package, I'm looking forward to whatever the final part may be.
Oh, what's this? Package inspector Rohan finally returned home from his grandparents' house?
He did indeed. And he's cranky, and hungry, and tired, but he won't sleep, and omg I'm turning into the parent from that book aren't I? Egads.
Oshawott to the rescue! I think Rohan's supposed to be training him, but for right now it might be the other way around.
I was laying on my bed staring at the ceiling late yesterday afternoon, trying to weigh the relative merits of taking a nap versus venturing out into the ongoing downpour in search of something which would approximate a dinner versus getting a jump start on building a vessel of gopherwood, when there came through the sound of the steady deluge a rapping on my door.
I opened the portal to see a somewhat bedraggled-looking brown-liveried courier. In exchange for a perfunctory illegible scribble on his archaic industrial tablet device he handed me a parcel, unassuming but for the festive bullseye-print sealing tape.
(Note still-wet raindrop spots, adding authenticity to my account!)
Beneath a shipping cushion airbag, I found a packing slip, which among more prosaic information carried this message:
(I'm not sure how well you can see that depending on your monitor and resolution, so I'll tell you that it says: "To Gaslight. Surprise! The other presents were but a distraction, this is the real thing. Merry Christmas, Secret Santa.")
And beneath the packing slip, I found...this.
Santa, do you know what you've done? First you get me that CPU cooler and gave me an excuse to spend hundreds of dollars on other realistically unnecessary upgrades to my computer. Now you get me an entirely new game system? I'm going to have to actually, like, buy games for this thing now, and...and I just barely got through the Steam Thanksgiving sale and a Christmas sale is right around the corner, and...
I see what this is. Beneath what seems on the surface to be an incredible display of generosity is a nefarious plot to leave me broke, and moreover alienated from my family and few friends because I spent all my money and time on computer parts and video games instead of buying them any presents or spending any time with them.
Santa, if you're reading this, all I can ask is: what did I do to deserve being the target of your pernicious scheme? I really haven't been on this forum very long, comparatively, and I didn't think I had done anything to make enemies. I admit I was sort of a twit at times, back when I first registered and posted on SE++ for some reason...but I was new, and it was SE++, and I was just trying to fit in! Surely my conduct did not justify your hideous machinations.
Santa, you're a fucking monster.
Hopefully it's obvious that the above is entirely tongue-in-cheek. It's true that when I opened up the package I was rather nonplussed. In fact, I was and am agog. This was like literally the very last thing I put on my wishlist, sort of on a whim and almost as an afterthought, it cost several times more than anything else on the list, and I never expected anybody would actually buy it for me. I did join this forum a little over a year ago, and this is my first time participating in any of the various Secret Santa permutations. Between this, the Steam thread gift-giving, etc., I continue to be astounded by the generosity of this community, and it is one that I am very proud to call my online "home," something I haven't really had for several years. Thank you, Santa, I am amazed and humbled.

Still waiting on a steam friend approval, if you're reading, santee.
Huh, I don't remembering order a package from Amazon. Well, I do. I remember ordering like 10 things, but those all arrived.
What is this?
Could it be a...
The gif would suggest so, yes!
A box, so small and unassuming. What treasures does it hold?
ugh, fine. I'll look at the presents before I check the list of included items. I GUESS
Intriguing! But what could it be...?
sweeeeeeeeeeet! I'm all about some Hellboys, but I never get around to buying them myself, making Hellboy a special holiday visitor that arrives on a Secret Santa Sleigh!
but WAIT, there is more
no need to wait long, here is the next spoiler tag
Mmmyeeesss?
Oh man I have no idea what this is but the cover looks all kinds of intriguing. Also, it is a complete edition, which appeals to the inner future-subject-of-the-show-Hoarders in me!
This is all in addition to the Steamy gift of Witcher 2: Yet More Witching that I received within the last week.
In case anyone was making last minute adjustments to their census of rad dudes, make sure to change Arikado's status to "archdude".
I was away all last week for some Thanksgiving merriment. Got back on Sunday, then baked up a batch of cookies to take the neighbors who had been gathering the mail as a thank you. Apparently the cookies were a good idea, because sure enough, when handed the pile 'o mail, what was on top but…

Ooh! A note!
Dear Mr Heist,
Thankfully you posted that Page O Greed of yours, or I would have been completely lost! Looking at some of the games you asked for, I decided my theme was going to be "Games I absolutely loved that Mr Heist must play", the the two best games on your list were both near and dear to my heart…[SPOILERS REDACTED]
Mleh, see, it's LA Noire, see! I'll be playing this if I know what's good for me!
And jumping further back in time, Red Dead Redemption!
AND HOLY CRAP THERE'S MORE! Points for both sides! And it just so happens I opened this bad boy the day Beyond Good and Evil HD was on sale!
The whole haul! Summer Fun Cthulhu was taken aback and Winter Fun Mr Heist is super-damn-pumped!
So here's to Cornell002, the best of the coolest, and the coolest of the best! I'll do my best to do your theme well and enjoy the hell outta them!
Gonna try and send out my gifts tomorrow. Work has been making it difficult to send out sooner. I swear santee, if you purchased the item I got for you, I'm gonna come to your house and throw giant chunks of coal at you

I really wish Xbox Live worked more like Steam. I would love to gift my Santee XBLA games, but the only way to do that is to buy the code cards in-store or digital codes online, so you can't take advantage of sales.

Apparently Max Payne 2 isn't beloved around here. Huh.
Seriously. This blows my mind. I love Max Payne 1 and 2. love.
I don't even have a problem with the original Xbox controller. Many games were played, beaten, and enjoyed using that controller. I don't get you guys.

I absolutely love MP 1 & 2, I'm tempted to buy it on Steam just to play with all the mods. I've never played another game with the atmosphere like it, I can't believe people don't like them.
MP1 is amazing. I played it for the first time last year and it holds up nicely. MP2 seemed like it improved the gameplay, but I didn't really care for the story.
Apparently I was supposed to get this a while ago, but I was out of town. I was also not expecting a gift this early, which made it a nice surprise.
Hardtarget really knows what the deal is and hooked me the hell up:
He described the book as a book about cooking rather than a cookbook, and he is right. I've only read the first ten or so pages, but it's enthralling, and it's the perfect gift for me. Thank you so much.
Also, the joke book was there to qualify for free shipping, which may have been funnier than the book itself
Thank you so much Hardtarget. You are a kick ass Secret Santa.

Yay Hardtarget! Alton Brown is the man!
If you can find it, look up some episodes of his Food Network show Good Eats. It's a 'cooking' show, but you learn all about the science of why things have certain ingredients or are cooked a certain way. And he's funny, so it's awesome.
First off, I must apologize to my Santa, these should have been posted immediately after I got them, feel free to get me some coal and add me to the naughty list!
In other news:
A mysterious package from ThinkGeek arrives! But I didn't order anything!
Diving inside reveals a heap of treasures; what could they all be!
The whole ThinkGeek haul! Item by item:
....
One of my favourite things, perpetual motion devices, and I got two of them!
A spinning top that lasts for a week (That was the box labeled top secret) and the infamous drinking bird.
....
A...*ahem*... Ladies of Star Wars pack of cards. I took a quick peek before taking that picture and man are they scrapping the bottom of the barrel with those. My friends at work got a kick out of those.
....
Continuing with the Star Wars theme I also got a Hans Solo in frozen carbonite ice cube trays. Sweet!
....
Two geeky utility tools. First up the Ultimate Geek Pen, featuring laser point, LED and UV light. The pen part actually works and magically, if you twist it the other way you get a stylus. Second I got the ScrewPop, a keyring that functions as a bottle opener and philips and flathead screwdriver.
....
The Worlds Most diabolical take apart puzzle. I've had a brief play with this and it sure is tough, I've resisted the temptation to read the instruction yet though.
....
Finally, a titanium spork, because who doesn't need one of those!
Thank you so much Santa! There was a twitter account in the note but I couldn't see your username here, please own up, who are you Santa?
Your welcome! You said you never got cool gadgets from thinkgeek so I thought I would send you some of my favorites. The ladies of star wars one was sent to me as a gag and I got a kick out of it.

oh man I'm so happy you got it, it was delivered back on the 19th and I hadn't heard anything for a number of days now, I was super worried it got either
a) sent to the wrong address
b) stolen off of your porch by gnomes
c) a combination of wrong address and gnomes
Glad you like it, I totally own version 1.0 of that same book and am super jealous of your new and improved version. Can't say I own that joke book though....
I have received both parts of my gift now that I arrived back at my house. Unfortunately I will have to wait to post the pictures because I'm already up way too late, having been enjoying the gift for the past 5 hours. Draysoth did a great job though, and I will totally get the pictures up tomorrow.
A controversial choice? It is appropriate as the sequel is coming next year, and I have yet to play this game or the original.
This is pretty awesome since there are some original Xbox games I want to play that aren't 100% backwards compatible or just flat out incompatible.
The Xbox is huge.
Fuck this controller. I only ever used it once at a kiosk back in '01/'02 and thought it was garbage back then. Guess what? I think it still is.
Santa, you've outdone yourself this year in terms of making me have the least amount of fun possible for playing your despised game.
So this is a running gag with you at this point, right?
It's a tradition, man.
How are you still up for this? You must have some incredible patience to do this each year. I mean, it is awesome, but I don't know if I could take the pressure!
Considering I've played a lot worse on my own year round since beating Sonic 2006, at least this has the payoff of having you guys bond/fight over the game sent to me. Also, I'm a Capricorn. 8-)
Apparently Max Payne 2 isn't beloved around here. Huh.
Seriously. This blows my mind. I love Max Payne 1 and 2. love.
I don't even have a problem with the original Xbox controller. Many games were played, beaten, and enjoyed using that controller. I don't get you guys.
Max Payne 2 is alright so far. I have to say that the gameplay isn't as great now due to the fact that enemy spawns are bad, which leads to some trial and error. The gun play is definitely lacking, but that's not really fair since third person shooters have come a long way since the game's original release.
As for the controller, I guess I enjoy my controllers to be less than or equal to the size of a bear.
Your gift is taking longer than anticipated to assemble and dispatch, so please busy yourself with this crossword puzzle in the meantime.
Solve the puzzle as you normally would. The grey numbers can then be used to fill in the missing spaces below. Good luck!
Then there's 3 15 character codes, with all the numbers already included. Obviously I can't include THAT part.
Little did my Santa know that I've been playing Professor Layton today, so I managed to solve it already! Still trying to figure out what the codes are for though.
Wait....that's probably the reason she/he sent me a puzzle in the first place! AHHHHHHHH
Thanks Santa! I've never heard of any of these games, but looking at them I think I won't have to worry about performance. And the timing with the adventure games is perfect, what with me finishing Professor Layton and the Last Specter just recently.
The first code in the image you sent me did not work. Did I get an answer wrong?

I've just been reminded that my Santee has not received his whole gift yet. The physical, sure, that made it to him just fine, but the meta is still en route.
OK, I know this is in the wrong thread, but it made me laugh:
