    Just placed a package in the hands of the trusty USPS! It only has the entire earth to travel, so it should be there in about 6-10 days (so the post-lady said.) I'm excited! Are you excited Santee?!?!?

    So the most "personalized" part of my santee's gifts arrived this weekend and it turned out FANTASTIC. I'm very pleased and I can only hope that they recognize what it is. Now I'm only waiting on one more box of goodies and this it's time to start the assembly. I haven't been this excited to give stuff away in ages. :)

    So, my father passed away this week, somewhat suddenly... Its been a rough week. So, Santa, if you've had issues getting a hold of me in some way, that would be why.

    Oh wow, man, you have my utmost condolences. Back in January, I learned a lot more about how this feels that I would wish upon anyone. My thoughts are with you and your family.

    Hmm, my santee has been suspiciously silent of late. Although, I think I may know why.
    But it doesn't matter, the great giftening is already well under way. It's just a matter of finishing a few things up and shipping out!

    So I had a plan that sort of got waylaid when the system by which my plan was being employed is inconsistent. Santee your gifts will probably be discombobulated.

    I've been quiet lately because I've been busy out spending lots of money on myself on things.

    Just kidding Santa, I'm on a spending break except for my monthly comics...both you and my wife have made it clear I'm not to buy anything else.

    If I haven't formed a plan by Friday, I need to kick this into high gear and gifting may be predictable so I don't suffer analysis paralysis.

    I expect will have quite a few Santees on the naughty list when the Steam Thanksgiving Sale starts this weekend. :P

    I hope my Santee isn't one of them since I'm going to try sending a Steam code through the mail with the rest of my gift.

    On another note, don't fret Santee, I have a few ideas that I'm hoping will work out. I get anxious to send gifts, but I'm not financially able to keep gifting you, and I don't wanna send you stuffz so early that it doesn't feel like Christmas. However, I'm hoping my ideas will bring warm feelings to your heart and soul.
    .... Let the obligatory "Is it me?!?!" start.
    Also, my Santa still has not revealed him/her-self. I don't know what this means, and if I should be worried or excited.

    Began my stalking in earnest over the weekend, although I'm still not 100% down on what to get. I think I know roughly where to aim though. Brace yourself. Presents are coming...

    I just noticed the price of a PS3 on Black Friday.

    Santa, if you're a big spender and feel like getting me a PS3 on Black Friday, I won't say no.

    Stardate: 2417.3. Commander Cloudeagle of the USS Albatross reporting. My mission to deliver vital data to the Federation is fraught with peril, but the fate of galactic civilization makes it imperative for me to succeed. I'm repeatedly harassed by rebel forces, but my crew and I manage to drive them off. I begin the construction of multiple upgrades to my ship... though it would be nice to have a bigger engine so I can actually use them.

    My journey through the Rock sector is relatively quiet, with far fewer skirmishes with the famously belligerent race than I'd expect. That changes when a particularly suicidal bunch attack me near a sun, with solar flares licking at both our ships. A particularly lucky strike on my ship instantly disables my door control systems. Pfft, who needs doors? Besides, the fire that broke out in that room is now handily contained behind two blast doors.

    ...I soon learn that fire has no need of doors.

    Yes! Your santa is so deliciously evil. Part of what makes this game great is its difficult/randomness, so keep on fighting (and losing) the good fight. There is no shame in playing on "easy" but I really recommend against the mods early on. Or at all, actually, but to each his own! Keep us posted with stories of your glorious deaths!

    'Tis almost the season. Well, per retail here it's been the season since a bit before Halloween. I bought myself Minecraft for a little holiday season stress relief. I also shopped for my santee. A lot. Retail therapy.

    Captain's log, stardate 2374.5. The Albatross V is encountering smooth sailing so far. Sure, there have been some skirmishes, but our starting sector gave us little problems. Nor our second, civilian sector. Now we're moving into the third sector. This is a piece of cake.

    Captain's log, stardate 2374.8. Upon arriving in sector three we encounter a ship manned by 47,000 bloodthirsty mantises, 46,997 of which teleport onto our ship and slaughter everyone.

    I recall Tube coming up with a frankly disturbing strategy for dealing with such invaders.
    1. If you've got a teleporter, move your entire crew to the enemy ship.
    2. Disable their transporter.
    3. Vent your entire ship to space.

    I've never had the balls to attempt such a risky maneuver , but I can just imagine the dialogue going between the crew-mates immediately following the Captain orders.

    Damn that's brutal.

    Though I've sat for several minutes watching the enemy crew slowly burn to death.

    Also take note: On the smallest slug ship the O2 room is separate from the main cabin. They can't repair it. Knock it out and watch them suffocate.

    life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
    fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
    that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
    bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
