I love all those movies, but Love Actually is THE MOVIE, guys.
I mean, it's got Bill Nighy as an aging rock star with the best Christmas song outside of Father Christmas. It's got Hugh Grant as the Prime Minister hooking up with his cute intern. It's got Liam Neeson not murdering anyone. It's got the dude from the Walking Dead also not murdering anyone. It's got hardcore pornography. It's got, well, everything.
Say what? I was about to blast you for this, but maybe I need to watch this movie...

It has the sweetest love story ever written about two people filming a sex scene. It's just adroable.
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

The only reason I don't put it on the TV in my shop every day is because one of the many plot lines is about two porn actors falling in love. A good 15 minutes of the movie is set on a porn set.
Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust

Plus one of the porn actors is Bilbo Baggins.
I think they only recognizable British actor they forgot to add was Michael Caine.
Darwinia
I think I'm going to win some Darwinia Awards while playing this! Because those little guys are probably all going to die embarrassing deaths under my command. I've never actually played an RTS before unless Brutal Legend counts, but Darwinia doesn't look too intimidating.
Torchlight
The art and colors in this game look gorgeous. Being one of the three people in the world who have never played Diablo or a Diablo clone, Santa decided to correct this. :P
Alan Wake's American Nightmare
He's got a battery powered nail gun with a broken safety guard and he's not afraid to use it! I've been interested in the Alan Wake franchise for a while.
To The Moon
I've heard a lot of good things about this game. And it's got a lighthouse! I like lighthouses. (This game is going to make me cry, isn't it?)
Thanks again, Santa! These are going to keep me busy well into the new year.
I am not dead, I just don't post much. Also, thank you for not being one of those super aggressive Santas. I also feel like I should clarify that I have not updated my BGG collection to indicate that I own all of the expansions for the Lord of the Rings card game even though I do.

Dear Santee,
I'm waiting until it's closer to Christmas - or at least not November - before I package you. I think you'll enjoy what I've planned, gonna broaden them horizons hopefully.
There is still steam sale. Please don't buy yourself things.
Love, Santas
My Santa has made it abundantly clear that I am not to spend more money on myself. However, I am buying KOTOR2 based solely on my concern that Lucas stuff could disappear at some point with the Disney purchase. I'm afraid anymore and I'd get a lashing via twitter.
edit: also, if you watch the edited version of Love Actually, the entire porn plot is taken out. Which is funny when the characters all meet up at the end of the film and you don't know who these people are.

Asking me not to serve the Newell is similar in nature to asking me not to breathe, but I promise not to go apeshit. Last year I would have bought XCOM and Walking Dead within seconds and probably all the other main deals outside of AoEIII (which I don't want) and Terraria (which I already own) by the end of the day. This year I'm practicing restraint. I won't spend any money on Steam today.
Also, I'm not too worried because anything I miss on the Autumn Sale will pop back up during the long Winter.
Fair warning though, if Steam has a day dedicated to multi-packs, I'm jumping on that shit for gifting purposes.
I wish Xbox LIVE or PSN had better sales so I could pass on Steam-like piles of gaming via console to my Santee.
Stardate: November 21. Point two. It's taken many tries, and the surviving former crew members of previous ships have taken to calling me "Duck Dodgers," but The Albatross XIII has finally made it to sector four of eight, thanks to caution, careful upgrade planning, and guile. And this sweet-ass laser! I just draw a line and it causes all kinds of havoc on those who stand in my way? Oooh, Mantis pirates, huh? Get ready to get lasered! Yeah! How do you like that? Multiple room damage, fires, and a oxygen-sucking hole in your hull! Suck on that! Fire again! I... oh. While I wasn't paying attention, my crew all suffocated when a hole got knocked in my own hull. Um.... crap.

Eep... were you running around with all your doors open or something? Gotta get them them level 3 blast doors, worth every piece of scrap.

Yeah, the last battle had a fairly widespread fire I took care of by opening the airlocks and all affected rooms, and I forgot to close them. Dammit.
I'm having fun, but since I've gotta reach a goal for Santa I may have to break down and do the "no-fleet" mod.

For those of you interested in the steam sale!
Buy games. Put them in your inventory instead of in your library.
Wait until you are pounced upon by santa with presents.
Did you get the game you bought?
N: Rejoice! You can still play it since you bought it cheap. Move it to your library
Y: Rejoice! You can give the gift of [GAME] to someone this holiday season!
Arrive home from work to find the following on my doorstep...
A gift from Australia - could it be "shrimps for the barbie"?
I do not have cats so here is the domesticated animals that look down their nose at me with said package
Oooooh a letter
with text (this should be readable!)
First up....
Chocolate!!!!!!
We actually get crunchies over here! My wife and I love them (hence they are now gone!). However the other bars are like a slightly upgraded version - shame we do not get those here as we think they are actually better! I also made the children beg on knees for half a crunchie each - am I a bad parent?
Second up....
METAL! Oz Metal....hmmmm Silverchair are one of my fave bands. I also like regurgitator. This will be blasting me to work in the car tomorrow morning!
Third up...
Coasters.....Well yay! I love coffee and I have wooden furniture. I'm loving the hotline miami one (wife's not so keen on an pig faced, axe killer being part of our decor - but hey, it's my house too). Oh and there's carmageddon and dungeon master - jesus, the hours I poured into those as a teen! Hmmm the other one is a mystery....starcraft? Is there a game called scary stone foxes?
TeeMan you have spoiled me with gifts from afar and I am eternally grateful! The letter mentions more gifting and I say, your generosity knows no bounds!
Oh yeah the obligatory 'pets eating packaging' picture....

Please tell me you know that space will pause the game? I think I missed it the first few games I played and once I found it I could micromanage and do things MUCH faster and react better to the enemy attacks.

I keep forgetting that I can pause. I think I'm terrible at the game, but maybe if I try easy mode (which I haven't done yet) combined with using pause I could improve. I can safely say if my Santa required me to beat the game before a gift, I'd probably get my gift around Memorial Day.

Check your email. There is TWO of these packages, and that is the second one.
Ahahaha. Oops! I just keep embarrassing myself.
Well, I really do need to run out the door later, so I'll make a second gift post later!
That.
Is.
Awesome.
also your gifts or whatever.
