    Lego doesn't work, tried that first thing, too.

    Only other clue I have: "Synonyms for 'Creator'; 'Inventor', 'Founder'"

    My Santa says the clue relates to gift number one, which is the Lego Avatar that is shown in my previous "Gift Get" post...

    Yeah, I went ahead and took advantage of the gog sale that's going on. I hope I have not (further?) angered my Satan... I mean, Santa.

    I was playing with fire, and I got burned.

    I woke up to an e-mail this morning with what can only be described as a spite gift:

    Have you tried Ole Kirk Christiansen?
    Seeing as how he's the inventor of LEGO and the founder of the Lego corporation.
    Possibly just Ole Kirk.

    Also the figure you got came from A Brick World.

    And in case it matters. I know a few of the pieces.

    Legs- minifig series 7 space marine
    Body- wolverine (I believe)

    I'll admit to being confused by people buying so many games during the sale. Do you forget that Christmas is literally a month away, and that Steam often features even better sales then? I can understanding picking up a couple of things if you play through games fast, but still ...

    I got gifted again! Got Castle Crashers on steam from the anonymous...dutch? German? santa. Confession, I've already played and beaten this. But now I can play with my Fiancee, since I got two copies. Gracias Santa! This brings it to Alpha Protocol and Castle Crashers x2. Given the poem and the cryptic moon language (which is all languages other than english) I'm not sure who my santa is, or if this is the end of the random gifting. But either way, thanks!

    edit: apparently my santa got me FOUR copies of castle crashers! So that's cool.

    FYI: Alpha Protocol is awesome. I've got at least 3 playthrough's under my belt. I'm very disappointed that it didn't do better with reviewers because I would love another one...

    I received a large amazon.ca package. As I have not ordered anything from amazon recently I'm going to assume that this is my gift. It will sit under the tree until Christmas because CHRISTMAS PRESENTS ARE FOR CHRISTMAS! but wanted to let you know it arrived safely!

    Are you insane? An action like this breaks the sacred santa/santee bond which deserves...nay...DEMANDS that you open any presents immediately and post pictures. Anything less will result in stern looks from everyone around you...

    I've always said that I won't open Christmas presents until Christmas. My santa should know this if they've done their stalking well.

    The Life and Times of Cpl. S. Handkor
    S. Handkor was a simple, yet happy man. Until the aliens arrived. While away at work, the aliens came and viciously slaughtered his whole family during an attack on their neighborhood.

    Handkor vowed for revenge.

    So when he heard about the international organization known as XCOM, he knew he had to do whatever it would take to join. Hired among the initial wave of new recruits, he showed promise and motivation.

    He would soon get to test that eagerness on his first mission. An Interceptor had just shot down its first UFO over Germany. And Rookie Handkor was hand picked by the Commander to join the team responsible for scouting the wreckage. And indeed, Handkor was quite ready.

    Operation Dark Sword

    First off the Skyranger, Rookie Handkor took it upon himself to act as the point man. And his enthusiasm paid off, as he soon found himself aiming his sights at a Sectoid. A soon-to-be-dead Sectoid, as a quick pull of the trigger landed his rounds squarely into the Sectoids chest.

    He took up a defensive posture at one of the holes blown through the side of the UFO. As his teammates were securing the rest of the area, Handkor could see a figure moving inside the UFO. His bloodthirst for aliens almost sent him dashing through the downed UFO, but he somehow tempered himself, choosing to throw a grenade into the interior of the space craft. A screech could barely be heard over the explosion, as it was later revealed that he took out an Outsider. His bravery was rewarded with a promotion to Squaddie and a new role as Assault.

    Operation Lost Blade

    His second mission proved nearly disastrous. Aliens were reported to be abduction civilians from Mexico. During the mission, Sq. Handkor proved to be a little too eager, choosing to storm against a window to take out a Sectoid at close range. His foolishness was met in kind when a Sectoid flanked him and injury him while in his exposed position. The chaos began when the teammate with a medkit was fired upon. Though she was using a car for cover, the car quickly exploded under the aliens fire, killing the squad member instantly. This caused another squad member to panic, inexplicably shooting and killing the fourth member of the team. Somehow, Sq. Handkor and his teammate were able to pull it together and eliminate the remaining aliens. His injuries required only four days of rest and recuperation.

    Operation Demon King

    After recovering, he wanted to immediately return to duty. A request came from the Council to deactivate a bomb that the aliens were working to deploy. Although he was happy to be on a mission, he was not very happy to see that Squaddie Willems, the one responsible for losing control and shooting a fellow team member, was promoted to Corporal. Try as he might, he just couldn't figure the motive behind the promotion. If anything, she should be removed from the XCOM unit entirely. But aside from that, he was quite happy to see Lauren Walker, a fellow Squaddie, was on this mission as well. The mission was fairly smooth, aside from Sq. Handkor's momentary lapse of judgment in choosing to stand next to an exploding car. He was able to pull his wits about him afterward, and was in fact the one that defused the bomb. All members were awarded a promotion to the next rank. Newly promoted Cpl. Handkor was also rewarded with yet more sick bay time to recover from his wounds.

    Operation Final Vengeance

    Some questioned whether Handkor should be returning to duty yet again so soon after the wounds he sustained in his last mission. But the Corporal just brushed them off. Joined with four of the best members of XCOM, they set out on a mission to scout another UFO that was shot down. This UFO was much larger than the last one. And it would provide Handkor with his closest brush with death yet.

    After securing the perimeter of the downed craft, fellow squad member Cpl. Walker entered through a blown out section of the craft, believing it to be empty. This would prove fatal for her, as the Outsider that was waiting inside quickly gunned her down. Cpl. Handkor was distraught that his friend, the only one to repeatedly visit him in sick bay to cheer him up, was gunned down so cruelly. He rushed into the UFO, hoping the show the Outsider the business end of his shotgun. However, the Outsider proved too cunning. The alien outflanked the Corporal, and hit him with a blast from a Plasma Rifle. The Corporal, badly injured, saw the sight of his friend's body lying next to him, and panicked. He couldn't control his actions, and the only thing he could do was curl up in the fetal position.

    The Outsider arrogantly walked towards the Corporal. Perhaps too arrogantly, as the alien missed his shot from near point blank range. Handkor, seeing this miraculous turn of events, gathered his senses and seized the opportunity to cut the Outsider down. With the area secured, they returned home, with Cpl. Handkor gaining a new lease on life.

    TL;DR:
    DR9US.gif

    Handkor was nice enough to gift me a copy of the remake to my most favoritest game in the world.
