    A heavy package arrives addressed to Allforce!

    GiftGet4b.gif

    Three packages neatly wrapped! With notes!

    20131203_163108_zpsfef7b003.jpg

    First package! It's from "Belligerence"! I'm often belligerent so this is a great start!

    20131203_163208_zpsbdd4ff1d.jpg

    It's a fantasy book from the co-auther of The Wheel of Time series! I've been interested in that series before but haven't picked the books up, so this will get some eye-time. Thanks!

    20131203_163402_zpsa3641aa6.jpg

    Second package note. Unfortunately I do not have many real life friends. But I have slaves kids and a wife so they will do in a pinch

    20131203_163228_zps2445c5d8.jpg

    It's a crazy looking tabletop game (that seems kid friendly)! Awesome work stalking me, this looks like a good time

    20131203_163530_zpsfd881ab5.jpg

    Third package note, ominous!

    20131203_163247_zps28f14f82.jpg

    It's The Wolverine on blu-ray/dvd combo disc! With Ultraviolet Digital code! Closing in on 300 blu-rays owned, and this was one I did NOT own so thanks again!

    20131203_172719_zpsb2a980d6.jpg

    The whole haul with R2D2 looming over it. Thanks a ton @belligerent (I'm assuming it's you despite the note saying Belligerence)! Unless there are two? I searched and came up with only the first user.

    Oh man, I love Brandon Sanderson novels. Definitely enjoyed that one too, it's the first part of his giant fantasy series.

    My Santa just asked if I've been naughty and been buying myself stuff, implying he or she has not yet made the final gift purchases...but I'm well aware this could be a long con and that they might just be throwing me off the scent.

    I have that same R2 D2 cooler in my classroom. It fascinates my kids to no end.

    And while "serious" tabletop gamers may scoff at Munchkin, those people take gaming way too seriously. It is ridiculously good fun with the right group of people. Especially when you start collecting the shirts, bookmarks, and other SJG chotchkes that let you cheat.

    Hello, Santa!
    I'm sorry I've been quiet for a while - a combination of work, work, ME-ness because of work and a few other things have got in the way of stuff. I'm back now and raring to go!!

    Santee, I took yesterday off work, and after some judicious stalking and chatting to your Steam friends I chose a picture to paint. Well, I chose several, and after discussions with people chose one particular painting to do. Yesterday I painted all day; I hope you like the results. I'll be posting it off to you at the end of this week, there's just a couple of things I need to finish off before I do. Now, you will have said if you don't like chocolate, won't you? I hope you do, as I'm going to be sending you some :)

    On a totally unrelated note, this evening LewieP restored all my music from my broken external hard drive, and I now have lots and lots of music to listen to. I'm happy :)

    I'm also baking a chocolate cake, but its not for you, Santee, sorry.

    SECRET SANTA III: HE SEES YOU WHEN YOU'RE SLEEPING

    Santa has bestowed the Humble Jumbo Bundle upon me!
    Among it are such fun-looking games as:

    30e16a2b581772ff6b5e29b7bfc2dff8d9204d59.pngNatural Selection 2
    644f8417d17ae0b0b285bbb18cbbd24e98f1cf1f.png Sanctum 2
    c1d06bb0216f97caebb04e085341ab61507afb36.png Magicka
    90c982db42211847cd63ff11315c726779d6b54e.png Orcs Must die 2
    6034d8147507e041034b0b31d3d9e9a624b21d26.png Garry's Mod
    0d50d2ee2cfb2706b826e099b0b050cba34aef6f.png and Serious Sam 3!

    These games will be put to great and festive use, santa!
    I do, however, have a few of these games. Santa has given me the all clear to re-gift these.
    SO! The first folks who send me a PM with:
    *A christmas joke/story
    *Which game you want
    Will get said game. Unless it's already claimed!

    Up for grabs:
    *Orcs Must Die 2
    *Magicka
    *Garry's Mod

    My Santa has still not revealed him/her-self, and apparently reverse stalking is not me. This leaves me suspicious...and hostile. I will use this hostility upon MY Santee and reign blows of joy and cheer upon their head. Is the anticipation killing you, those that have not been gifted? Maybe I'm talking about you..

    Just received Natural Selection 2! Thanks @Kendrik!

    Never seen this game before, but looks really cool after watching some vids. Totally forgot about this game! Put it on my wish list awhile ago ha! FPS and RTS...Yes!

    Can't wait to try it this weekend!

    Thanks!

    Holy shit, Santa strikes again with a totally not official...

    GiftGet4b.gif
    This isn't really based on stalking or anything. Merely the presence of a Humble Bundle during a time of giving is more then enough reason for Anonymous Santa Random Number to bloat your backlog. That and feeling bad about not actually shipping anything yet.

    Some games you've already got, but as I mentioned, Santa doesn't question the Bundle.

    Your Gift URL:
    In this pack: Natural Selection 2, Sanctum 2 and Magicka with two packs of DLC!, also Orcs Must Die! 2: Complete Pack, Garry’s Mod and Serious Sam 3: BFE, and some mystery games for beating the average that will be announced in time. Also, extra exclamation points: !!!, can never have too many of those.

    Santa's gonna go hit the egg-nog now, and think about wrapping stuff up and shipping said stuff out.
    What stuff? Oh, wouldn't you like to know...

    Anonymous Santa Random Number

    I can't believe that even after two humble bundles full off delicious gaming (ow, my backlog!), Santa is still sending more! Santa is the best! Thank you!

    And have an egg nog for me. I ended up in the ER last week with immobilizing stomach pains. Maybe gall stones. Maybe a bad case of post flu reflux. The upshot us no alcohol or fatty stuff for me for the week, so, egg nog is right out.

    For my part I will intoxicate myself with games! I especially have wanted to try Natuar Selection 2, so thanks again!

    Speaking of which, is there a PA NS 2 group?

    Holy shit, I think I hit the gift jackpot this year.

    I was informed via Proxy that I had multiple packages incoming today, but that didn't prepare me for this:

    KbHV9WR.jpg?1

    A whopping three packages with one of them being fucking huge!

    The contents!

    nCJ2vyZ.jpg?2

    ..this thing!

    d1So70z.jpg?2

    Plus a grand total of seven presents wrapped by Santa's little helpers at their home base deep in the Amazon forest.

    db7mjcM.jpg?2

    Ooh, let's see what Santa has to say.

    KMB1MTe.jpg?2

    A message written in magic ink! Mysterious!

    Anyway, let's get down to business, i.e. the presents.

    fYLsdKp.jpg?2
    btHd12H.jpg?3
    gOcelGO.jpg?2

    Three seasons of "Kommissarin Lund", which Wikipedia tells me is called "The Killing" in English. It's a Danish police procedural that I honestly haven't heard of before, but supposedly it's pretty good as it was nominated for all kinds of awards. Thanks Santa, I'm always happy to try out new things!

    Now, prepare yourselves for two extremely gay presents:

    P8e5BF4.jpg?3

    Tokyo Vice, awesome! I'm a huge fan of the Yakuza games which is how I stumbled upon this book, which apparently delivers some fascinating insights into the Japanese underworld. Thanks a lot!

    SQFbt9B.jpg?3

    World War Z! I've owned the audio book for ages but haven't actually gotten around to listening to it. The movie was alright but I heard that it doesn't really have much to do with the source material, so I'm really looking forward to checking this out.

    88a1Y2I.jpg?3

    Lego City Undercover! The Wii U thread is full of praise for this game so if I don't end up liking it, I'm holding you fuckers responsible.

    AZqquZd.jpg?2

    *squeal* The Making of Star Wars!
    In the October (?) issue of Empire they had this feature on the Making of The Return of the Jedi book, which had some extremely fascinating insights into the production process, for example a transcript of a staff meeting in pre-production where Lucas argues that he doesn't feel like he has to kill a character in order for the movie to have enough emotional impact, or how he apparently flat-out lied to Billy Dee Williams about how big a role Lando would be playing in the movie. Then I found out that there was a book like for each of the movies and this is the one for episode IV. You're the best, Santa!

    HKDzZIL.jpg?2

    The book is full of neat concept art sketches like this.

    The final present:

    7TSm1c8.jpg?3
    XpY3S27.jpg?4

    Woodford Reserve, a luxury bourbon!

    And then I nearly broke it when I found out that it opens like this:

    NnXMxmg.jpg?2

    (hooray for Halo, Oblivion and Diablo 2 in the background)

    3CNjLdw.jpg?3

    A fantastic choice, Santa! I absolutely love bourbon and I can't wait to try it. This is definitely gonna see some use over Christmas.


    I was informed that another package plus a letter is on its way, but I figured I was gonna make a gift get post already to let Santa know I got everything.
    Again: thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you! These are all incredible gifts. Thank you for your generosity!

    (I've got a pretty good idea who my Santa is, guess I'll find out soon :P)
