I just wanted to let my Santa know that part 2 of my gift arrived earlier this week and I simply haven't had time for a gift-get post. I'll get it posted by tomorrow, I promise!
Ok, I've just finished my last two computer repairs for the day and I've changed my voicemail to say I'm not taking any more on until the start of January. Bliss. So that's self employment done for the year and I only have one more week of 9to5 job boredom.

For real this time!
After a couple of false starts due to items without notes (it turned out the gloves were from my SE++ satan and the GoT bundle was from my brother), Proxy the Elf got in touch to tell me gifts would be arriving.
Lo and behold, a box was on my bed beside me when I woke up today! That's service! (Thanks, dad).
See? A box! Lets open it
Presents! Awesome! I love presents.
A note! Its blurry! I am a terrible photographer! It says "Grown men pretending to beat the crap out of each other? Sounds like fun to me! From Your Secret Santa Maz-" Yay! Thanks Maz-! Although I do have to correct you, as a wrestling fan, there's nothing pretend about getting thrown around a lot, only the amount of animosity involved is fake (and the story and match are scripted). Still, I love wrestling. Lets see what it is!
Oh shit! CM Punk Best in the World on Blu Ray! This is the only WWE Blu Ray I planned on owning (until I noticed that they released an attitude era one) and now I do own it! Thank you so, so much Maz-!
But that's not all! This box is bigger!
I'm not even sure what this means! What sort of hood would I be rolling through in a Long Island suburb? There are a few towns that look like the hood, but in reality, they're just poorly kept. Anyhow, lets open the box.
Oh wow! A New York Giants Super Bowl XLVI hat! Let me tell you a story: I had a hat just like this, bought it the day after they won, and wore it when my older brother and I went to the Canyon of Heroes to witness the victory celebration. At one point, the floats stopped, so folks started tossing stuff onto it, getting it signed, and then the players threw them back. So I told my bro to throw his hat, but he threw mine instead, and then the floats started moving again. I never got it back! So now I have a hat of my very own! Thank you so much, Maz!
Thank you very, very much for my presents, Santa @Maz-! Happy holidays, everybody!

That's excellent, glad you like it! I was afraid you'd already own that hat or one similar to it and almost didn't buy it, but looks like I was right to do it anyway.
As you know, there's more one package on its way to you. That one will be..different. There's a fair chance you'll hate it, or already own it, but..I just had to throw it in :P
Woooo! I'm glad my gifts came to you safe and sound @ueakcrash! I hope you and your wife have an great Christmas and enjoy Community.
Oh, and the hats are handmade, but not by me. Got them from etsy.
Now it's my turn, for....
Before getting this package today, my Santa had already gifted me twice with ebooks:
The Stupidest Angel is awesome. The only other book I read of Moore is Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, in which Raziel has a small role, so it was cool seeing him again.
This one I'll probably get to afterwards.
Now a wild box appeared!
This is a job for the CHRISTMAS AVENGERS
The two heavy hitters start off by investigating the box....
Oh no! The goodwill and cheer was simply too much for them!
Captain America decides to take one of the presents head on! Will he reveal what's underneath the colorful masking?
YES This is awesome, as I been meaning to play this game, and didn't get to. Oh man, I can't wait to do start inhabiting some steampunk era bodies. But wait, what about the other box?
Ironman, Iron Fist and Dr. Strange step up to the plate and give it their all!
Holy eff! It's GAME OF THRONES SEASON ONE This is incredibly generous Santa! Despite having HBO, I never got around to seeing the show(though I've read the books), so you can bet I'll be dipping into this during the Christmas Break. In fact, this gift was so great that as you can all see, our superheroes could do nothing else but bow down to it. Is this the end for our Marvelous heroes?
NO Super Awesome and totally stud DEADPOOL arrives to the scene, armed to the hilt! This will clearly be the battle of the century! Wait..Deadpool seems to be getting distracted...
Oh Deadpool!
The gifts again.
My Santa, despite knowing my hatred of puzzles, still had me decipher his name. Using my supreme skills, and okay, a pretty generous set of hints, I have determined that @Fig-D is my Santa! Thank you so much!
I'm glad everything made it okay! Its funny you should mention LAMB, as that was my first Moore book as well.

Kush has discovered New Package!!
Hmmm.... OMFG Lego Star Wars set!!!
Gotta go in for a closer look...
Could it be?!?! It couldn't possibly be....a handmade Wheatley!!!! (back from SPACE) and scared Kush away
After fleeing from Wheatley, Kush discovers some new awesomez reading material..
All that reading tuckered out this adventurous turtle. Fortunately, Santa @Mint included some delicious new treats for Kush! MMMmmmm, Shrimpy!
Thanks so much @Mint for this barrage of awesome gifting! I can only assume you made the Wheatley and painting yourself, so when I say you're crafty, there's an awesome double-meaning. Crafty because you make awesome things and crafty because I still have no idea how some of my gifts were delivered in person and some were mailed O_o You crafty goose. Also, Kush is extremely weird about not eating stuff when he is outside of his tank, but when I put him back in, I gave him some of the treats and he DEVOURED them. He absolutely loves them, and wishes me to send on his thanks. And I thank you for including something for him, that was hella cool. I will post pics of when the Lego set is complete if ya like, but I will have to wait til my exams are done (Tuesday) before I get started
Please excuse me not taking pics of the actual unwrapping Santa @Mint, I'm afraid I'm a bit of a little kid when it comes to presents and ripping them open immediately. Plus my turtle is skittish and it would just be damn near impossible to set it all up LOL.

Best in the World is pretty damn good, especially when you hear about how they kept burying Punk, either inadvertently or on purpose.
Turtles are fantastic animals, I'd love to have one as a pet. Those are some freakishly long claws though :shock: I didn't even know turtles had them.
I have a hard time even considering them claws. They're like, soft and flexible, not dangerous at all. He's a pretty awesome pet, I'm constantly amazed at how much personality he displays. Like, when I feed him his normal pellets, he'll get little crumbs stuck to his face. Then he wipes them off like a little kid wiping his mouth on his sleeve, dragging his whole arm across his mouth.

Gift Get!
Well, I actually received the gift a few days ago but between exams and work I haven't had much time to upload my pictures. But don't worry, the gift was received with warm hearts and much gratitude.
Now let's see some pictures!
Here we have the opened box, containing much Cristmas joy.
How many gifts do we have? One gift! Two gifts! Three gifts! Four gifts! Ah ah ah!
I freed Mario from his papery prison! I was too eager to rip into them and forgot to get a picture of the wrapped gift.
Here's the next gift, wrapped and waiting. What could it be...
Cool! I'm just a big kid at heart and love action figures, so you can be sure this is going to go to good use. I could use a Spartan to guard my gaming shelf. Marauders are everywhere!
This package is a lot more boxy than the previous two.
I love these things! The gigantic heads on them are just adorable. I'll team Chief up with the other Spartan!
Dun dun dun! The final package!
Santa, I'm not sure if you knew this or just got lucky, but I've really, really, really wanted to start reading this series but just haven't gotten around to it. You have no idea how much I appreciate this gift!
The whole haul, displayed for your enjoyment. I got gifted like crazy this year!
The only thing missing is a name. I have a real name, but no username. Please, santa, come forth and let me know who you are so I can give proper thanks!

Due to your apparent excitement and the numerous people who agree with you, I will definitely try to get this on film. I have to say, it's one of the most downright adorable things I've ever seen. Another thing he does that is awesome/hilarious is when he tries very hard to break out of his tank; he has a whole procedure and damned if he doesn't get close.

Storm Front is because I adore the series and everyone should read them. Plus, books are a thing for secret Santa. I am glad you enjoy it all! Get to readin'!

It has my return address on so it's probably not lost, but someone posting about how USPS dudes were nicking packages has me paranoid.
My Santa is a CRAZY PERSON who keeps giving me crazy awesome things. Like this, which I've wanted for forever! AND the DLC thing!
AND implying that there's a physical box on the way? WHAT MADNESS IS THIS SECRET PERSON?!
