    Thanks again, @Mighty ! I'm having a blast with these. Unfortunately, the wee ones will be up early, so I should head to bed. DRAMATIC SIGH

    A rest well deserved

    yes traps are so cool

    Are you the riddler? Do you perhaps own anything neon green and festooned with question marks?

    I'm down stairs just playing the game that I was already gifted with the wife (LEGO Lord of the Rings) and out of nowhere I get notification that I have two Steam gifts awaiting me!

    Orcs Must Die 2!

    AND

    Civilization 5!

    I unfortunately own both but one of my good friends doesn't own Civ 5 and my Roommate does not own Orcs Must Die 2. So I know what I'll be doing. :D Thanks again! Also... Lego Lord of the Rings is awesome!

    Ooooo, LewieP has just suggested a plan, a cunning plan! All I have to do is source the stuff!

    Well then you're already putting in more effort than the New York times, or... Or, what's a paper in Europe that doesn't check sources? Because them.

    regardless, heyooooo

    Steam wishlist ignores things you add in via the little 'activate a product on Steam' thing, so I have to go through and cull mine regularly. Which yes, does make it kind of annoying sometimes to gift people.

    I've straight up clicked on things on my own wishlist, bought it in Steam, and it still stayed on my wishlist. It's totally wonky. The worst part is that it's not consistent. Most of the times it works fine, but not always.

    Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust

    Fun story behind this: I won it in a public Steamgifts giveaway, received it, and had it taken back before I could play because it was purchased fraudulently. But now I can actually play it; thanks Santa!

    Lots of steaming going on this year. Kinda wish I had a not crappy computer.

    Santa! I picked up X-Com and Borderlands 2 during Black Friday. That's about it for my game buying this year.

    Santee! The last piece of your package is getting mailed to me this week. If that's the case, I'll wrap them up this weekend and send them off. Are you excited? I bet you're excited.

    Did you pick those up for xbox, or what?
    Also, those are two fantastic choices. I recommend on XCOM that you save often. If you make characters based on friends/family, it becomes reeeeeally awkward when they are watching themselves on screen and then their digital counterpart dies a gruesome death. Having multiple saves to fall back on is always nice.

    AAAAAAH! AAAAH! Uncontainable excitement!

    I failed to realize when last checking my email that dear, sweet @Harvest had sent me a message:
    "This should add some cheer to your weekend"
    And below that... a key for Dishonoured!

    Thank you again @Harvest! So much generosity!
    I've been looking forward to playing Dishonoured for months.

    This is the best community ever. I'm gonna run right out tonight & get presents for my Santee. <rubs hands together in anticipation>

    PS3. And man, I'm really surprised how much I'm enjoying the game. Never played the original one, and I think my last turn based game was either FFT or Vandal Hearts for the PS1. And yeah, learned the lesson of saving often early on. I'm still early on, and right now I came across a very difficult mission for a country in high panic. And wouldn't you know it, all my high ranking guys are off injured. Gonna take a rookie squad and see what happens.

    A portion of the "gifts" has been sent out.

    WoW consumed so much game time that I have a huge backlog of mainstream games. Like I played Portal/Portal 2 back in January.


    Not that I'm hating on WoW, its just that game was the only game there was to me.

    Also family. And work/deployment.
    And poor attempts at online college.

    I think a lot of you Santees need to be gifted some self control.

    More people need creepy, angry Santas like mine to stop them from buying things. Perhaps if someone feels their Santee has bought too much stuff for themselves this time of year they could send the person's email address to my Santa and he/she could let them know the err of their ways.

    Santa doesn't appear to be targeting me on Steam, but I apologise for my purchase of Arkham City GOTY nonetheless. It was so cheap! I've been good otherwise!
    Additional notes: I'm not sure if it appears on my Steam list because it's a press copy, but I own Dishonored. Also, Scribblenauts Unlimited is on the way to me because I need to review it. Sorry I'm such a pain, gaming-wise!

    Since when does Amazon.com charge six bucks for each gift-wrapped package? What in the sam tits?

    I was gonna save time by shipping directly from my Santee's Amazon this year, resulting in saving on dumb dumb shipping and extra giftage, but I'll be damned if I'm paying $20+ for gift wrapping. Physically package it is.

    Maybe Gabe or Tycho, as they created the comic. Or Vanilla (or IcyLiquid), created the forum software.
