    Hypatia messaged me a couple of days ago. I think she'll be pretty clear by now who will be getting coal next year. Shame, really.

    Here, I drew you another picture. ACTUALLY it's almost exactly the same picture but I'm crazy and obsessive and I never stop fiddling with things so here you go

    I'm sure Hypatia will be unleashing the bunnies in the coming weeks.

    What the fuck? I know life happens and all that, but that's kind of a dick move to enter a SS and then not do your part. Unless something awful happened to that person.

    And I mean, how hard can it be to stalk Lewie P's Mummy? She's Lewie P's Mom, she likes video games that don't require crazy manual dexterity, and she also likes drawing stuff; that's enough to get her something from Amazon, at least.

    WOOHOO! My post office's attempts to thwart this Santa by opening after I have to be at work and closing before I get home have been themselves thwarted by their weekend hours! Santee, from the bottom of my heart I apologize for my gift taking so long to get to you, but it is on its way!

    Either works, although I am for sure more into TF2, haha. Thanks!

    They are pretty cool cats. Except we jinxed ourselves as Nibbler likes to chew on everything and Yoshimitsu fucking teleports.

    it's lovely, thank you! I have very fond memories of watching LewieP playing Sonic the Hedgehog on his Sega Mastersystem when he was small - I got too stressed when playing it, and tried to use the controller like a Wiimote!

    Maybe someone was like "I'm gonna give my Santee a freakin' awesome painting!" Then got LPM and the pressure was just too much and now they've been driven insane.

    Indeed! Moving right along! I'm down for pitching in a couple of extras to help out the Easter bunnies. I don't want to be one for a particular person, but I'd love to add little supplements to the gifts of those who need bunnies. ^_^ Anyone who bunnies up, feel free to shoot me a PM and I'll see about 'adding a little bonus'.

    This is probably way too late to make any difference, but a portal always retains the orientation from which it was shot. Imagine a cylinder projecting from the gun barrel. No matter where you shoot it, the portal that is produced is a cross-section of that imaginary cylinder where it hits the wall. That portal's top and bottom are the same as the top and bottom of the cylinder and gun, and will remain so, and portals will always link top to top and bottom to bottom.

    Because of this, when shot on a wall, the bottom of the portal will always be underneath. When shot on a floor, the bottom of the portal will always be the end towards you, and on a ceiling, the bottom will always be the end away from you.
    Heh, and my response is probably unduly late as well, but all the same. ;D
    That's precisely how I would have expected it to work. Yet at the time I tested, again, I just couldn't get it to seem to pan out that way. I'll concede to apparently being terrible, but it's not going to make me want to play Portal again. ^_^

    We have literally over a hundred participants, many of whom volunteered to be bunnies. So I think they'll be set.

    He probably lives with a significant other... the only way a poster goes up on our walls is if it's in a frame

    I feel that, those posters went to her nephew's last Christmas. Although I am getting away with the movie posters for Moon, the Indiana Jones movies, and the LOTR trilogy... framed of course :D

    There's no need to panic! I've been in contact with the missing Santas and as of right now the number of deadbeats is looking like it might be < 1 if all things come through.

    A large number of the missing gifts look like they've been shipped internationally, so there is some corresponding lag.

    That being said, there are ~11 people who haven't made a gift post with a picture yet, some of which I haven't been able to get a hold of. If you haven't posted a picture yet, please do so. If it's a digital gift, if you can find a representative image online to post, I'm sure it would make your Santa feel a lot better and less anxious! :)

    Yay! There's something on its way to me, from far, far away! My Santa isn't a deadbeat, they're just posting from a long way away. That's good news for me today, after a particularly trying day at work - 7 weeks left til I'm redundant :(

    I took video of the unwrapping, but I havent been able to get it to work. Instead, here is an awesome compliation picture.
    XNYe5.jpg
    It was all individually wrapped with numbered packages and clues in/around the gifts, all narrated by a text-adventure game written by our wonderful Santa that I was way worse at than I'd like to admit.

    Total awesome count: Uncharted 2, Demon's Souls, Little Big Planet, A Blueberry Scone Yankee Candle, Bastion, a nice USB drive that is now at my job, 2 bags of dog treats that are in my dogs' stomachs, and a neat text adventure game written by our awesome Santa. Dear forum, you may now commence with being jellymad.

    Most image hosting services give you the option to resize images too if you don't want to download anything.

    In Imgur, it has an "edit image" button above the image URLs:
