I am a nincompoop that forgot to add one of his email accounts to his new Phone, so I didn't know that Santa had already left a gift in my digital Chimney, so to speak.
Mucho thanks to Mystery Santa (CaptainPilot doesn't match a name here, hmmmm) Gonna take care of some Nazis during my mid-weekend

Santa!
The Wii U grab was a success.
So I'm adding the following to my wish list
Super Smash Bros
That Wii U GameCube controller adapter
Some of them Wii U GameCube controllers.
Wiimotes since I don't think the bundle comes with any.
Anywho, no pressure if it doesn't align with your plans. Just throwing more ideas out. K bye!
I should probably never wrap presents because I suck at it. And the fact that one hand is in a cast (thanks to my lovely dog Chip) doesn't help one bit. But wrapping is my favorite part so I am pushing through. Gifts should be sent out some time this week
Well, I just got a message from The One True Proxy that my gifts are on their way!
Just to note, I got this message while I was out getting a christmas tree. Coincidence? I think not!
Now to do some work on my own santee's gifts.
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

Hey guys what's going on? I think I blacked out or something. Everything feels pointy and it's dark in here. Haha! Funny prank guys!
Maybe Nintendo will make more but as of right now these things are sold out and going for insane prices on eBay and Amazon, and Nintendo has not announced any plans to manufacture more
So my crazy Santa has revealed himself to be @TheRoadVirus (and how he did the awesomely weird text), as a bit of a recap I received some "Slap Ya Mama" spice, which has since been put on to everything I've eaten (as requested, but also because it's bloody fantastic).
Subsequently I had a couple of puzzles which led me to a code for the Humble Bundle.
Finally I received a PM with some more codes to register on steam! These were Saints Row 3, 4 and Dark Souls, each of which I haven't played but would like to!
As pictures are mandatory, here are some from the start of each game (except SR4 which I haven't had chance to download in full yet, so I've replaced that with Tex Murphy from the HB).
Tex! I was a bit dubious after the kick starter about the budget but judging by the opening it looks very impressive. Looking forward to getting stuck in to this, I love me some adventure gaming.
The opening cinematic of Dark Souls. I haven't dared play it properly yet, Demon's Souls consumed me (I imported the Asian version as soon as I heard about it on PS3).
Saints Row 3. I've heard SO many good things about how fun this game is. Can't wait to give it a go properly.
I'm somewhat of a monogamist when it comes to gaming, a one game at a time guy, so I've Bayonetta to finish up on Wii U before delving in to any of these games, but I think Dark Souls will be the first. Actually maybe Tex, once I start DS I won't stop.
So thank you kindly TRV, and a merry Christmas to you! Once again my heart has grown three sizes by the generosity of Secret Santa.

Yeah, I know the odds are slim. Maybe my santa works at nintendo or something haha.
Also I have heard of some folks in other countries not running into the shortages we are having here so I figured I'd get the word out in case santa is in some place where they are super easy to come by.
Santa- the postman dropped off 2 packages from Amazon today as I was just leaving the house. I put them inside and ell open them when I get home later. (If indeed they are from you.... I didn't want you to get worried if you were checking if they were delivered, since the note sent from proxy said they would be delivered on the first) then again, they just might be some random crap...I mean gifts for the kidlings.
I hope they restock because I was hoping to get one as well. Not that I have smash yet, but when I get it I wanted one since I have GameCube controllers still.

Amessage from Proxy! OH MY GAAAAAAAWD SO EXCITED! Allluded to comics which is awesome! I've never owned a comic, in paperback due to the space that addiction would take up or in digfital print due to having no device be able to read them properly beyond the PC. Phone is just too small for it. Definitely getting hyped now!
So i was partially correct, it was 1 box of gifts for the kids and one box of
upon opening said box:
I was greeted with 2 messages. (along with one that was send via Proxy The Elf
"snip" "This is something both my wife and I have enjoyed. It's fun and can get ridiculously tense. Hope you and yours like it!", I'm sure you'll figure out which gift that applies to. I can confirm, however, that it's got nothing to do with marital aids.
steam gifting is dangerous indeed. my curiosity further piqued, i removed the air packaging and lo and behold:
I am truly happy with this bounty, Santa. (not sure of your forum name), and no need to worry, i don't own any of these. Can't wait to break them out over the coming weeks.
[fake edit]
rereading Proxy's note, i am to expect another package of local treats, once the USPS get to delivering it. (hopefully santa is from Colorado or Oregon;))
You can make wishlists on BGG? That's a dangerous path I'm now aware of...
You can. They also apparently do their own Secret Santa, as I found out from a friend who practically lives on that site. We had some fun playing King of Tokyo on Friday but could only get one game in before health issues forced him home for the night. It was a good game though, since my family doesn't truck with the whole "try not to attack anyone and focus on victory points" style of playing. In the end Cyber Bunny proved to be the true King of Tokyo after bombing the monkey back to the stone age and then unleashing a six damage missile salvo that took out the remaining three in one fell swoop from the center of Tokyo.
About to leave for my first day at my new job! Gotta pay for that new apartment I'm applying for, and of course I need to fund my Santee's gifts! Oh, and I guess I need to feed myself too.

Dear Santee, It's in the mail.
I was quoted 5 business days for arrival. If it actually arrives that fast, I'll buy and eat a hat. But I expect you'll have it in two weeks, give or take two days.
Three Secret Santas down, one to go. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Santee, it's officially December 1st so I can now start properly stalking you and planning to deliver cheer to your doorstep!
Also Santa, my UPS guy has developed the habit of just leaving packages outside my apt door instead of at the office, so if you can let me know when to expect something that'll be great. I haven't had anything gone missing yet, but I wouldn't want yours to be the first.
I've confirmed my santee received a gift but hasn't posted about it
Sorry for the delay. I love every gift, I've wanted to play Papers Please for a while, and when I'm not so busy I will. Thanks so much for everything, Grove!

@Sweeney Tom It's such a cool game. I've never played it, but I've watched streamers on Twitch play it for hours.
Glad you enjoyed the gifts!
I realized too late that Valkyria Chronicles was coming to steam. I was just so excited to see it on your wishlist, I had to get it for you. Hope you don't mind playing it on PS3.
Subscribed to Google Play Music and I'm now curating my Christmas music playlists. (I'm abandoning Spotify as they've started including cursing in their ads, which kinda disrupts the Christmas spirit if you know what I mean. Apparently it's been a problem for a while, but I just started getting ads with cursing this past month, and I can't have that at work or with the kids.)
I've also worn my PA scarf I received last year! We went and got our Christmas tree on Saturday and it was frigid, so I wore it. Then yesterday and today it's been really nice outside, so haven't. Weird weather.
I just want to apologize to my Santa for not being a prolific poster, here. I'm much more of a lurker on the boards, thought I'm constantly checking in and reading threads. For some ease of stalking, here's a bit more info about what I've been up to lately:
1) Reading - Always. I just got down with "Way of Kings" and knocked out "Bird Box" and I'm currently reading "California".
2) Gaming - Warlords of Draenor sang it's siren song and pulled me back into WoW. I'm also banging through Dragon Age: Inquisition (It's awesome!) and occasionally jumping into Destiny or BF4 to shoot mans. I also picked up Fallen Lords during the steam sale
3) Real World - I got Geckos! Real live lizards live in our house, now. They are pretty damn cool. I'm also looking to make my way to the gun range more frequently, though it hasn't happened, yet.
4) Travel - I'll be heading out to Colorado on December 20th (returning the 28th). We'll have someone house-sitting, most likely, so any shipments will be safe, but un-opened until my return.
I go by Kendrik on pretty much everything I do online (with bfk_kendrik or Kendrik01 being used in some cases) so if you see a Kendrik posting something, it's likely to be me.

If you just finished Way of Kings then the next one in the series is already out: Words of Radiance.

After a long car ride from a family get together, I arrive home to find a package at my house!
I open the box and hey look a gift!
I rip away the packaging and GASP
A LEGO advent calendar! I've never had one of these before!
Tetra approves.
"Oh my gosh what a great present, I wonder who it's from?" - said Tetra. I respond with this photo!

Santee, don't think I've forgotten you. I'm planning. Biding my time. Mwahaha.
I volunteer as tribute to inquire on peoples behalf if needed.

Good luck finding these things
Maybe Nintendo will make more but as of right now these things are sold out and going for insane prices on eBay and Amazon, and Nintendo has not announced any plans to manufacture more
So my crazy Santa has revealed himself to be @TheRoadVirus (and how he did the awesomely weird text), as a bit of a recap I received some "Slap Ya Mama" spice, which has since been put on to everything I've eaten (as requested, but also because it's bloody fantastic).
Subsequently I had a couple of puzzles which led me to a code for the Humble Bundle.
Finally I received a PM with some more codes to register on steam! These were Saints Row 3, 4 and Dark Souls, each of which I haven't played but would like to!
As pictures are mandatory, here are some from the start of each game (except SR4 which I haven't had chance to download in full yet, so I've replaced that with Tex Murphy from the HB).
Tex! I was a bit dubious after the kick starter about the budget but judging by the opening it looks very impressive. Looking forward to getting stuck in to this, I love me some adventure gaming.
The opening cinematic of Dark Souls. I haven't dared play it properly yet, Demon's Souls consumed me (I imported the Asian version as soon as I heard about it on PS3).
Saints Row 3. I've heard SO many good things about how fun this game is. Can't wait to give it a go properly.
I'm somewhat of a monogamist when it comes to gaming, a one game at a time guy, so I've Bayonetta to finish up on Wii U before delving in to any of these games, but I think Dark Souls will be the first. Actually maybe Tex, once I start DS I won't stop.
So thank you kindly TRV, and a merry Christmas to you! Once again my heart has grown three sizes by the generosity of Secret Santa.

Perhaps I can interest you in my meager selection of pins?
Also Santa, my UPS guy has developed the habit of just leaving packages outside my apt door instead of at the office, so if you can let me know when to expect something that'll be great. I haven't had anything gone missing yet, but I wouldn't want yours to be the first.
In addition to the earlier-mentioned package, on Wednesday I received a Steam gift of Papers Please!
I didn't recognize the name, and a profile search for ObstinateGrove turned up squat, but turns out it was @Grove!
Sorry for the delay. I love every gift, I've wanted to play Papers Please for a while, and when I'm not so busy I will. Thanks so much for everything, Grove!
Steam
@Sweeney Tom It's such a cool game. I've never played it, but I've watched streamers on Twitch play it for hours.
Glad you enjoyed the gifts!
I realized too late that Valkyria Chronicles was coming to steam. I was just so excited to see it on your wishlist, I had to get it for you. Hope you don't mind playing it on PS3.
I've also worn my PA scarf I received last year! We went and got our Christmas tree on Saturday and it was frigid, so I wore it. Then yesterday and today it's been really nice outside, so haven't. Weird weather.

1) Reading - Always. I just got down with "Way of Kings" and knocked out "Bird Box" and I'm currently reading "California".
2) Gaming - Warlords of Draenor sang it's siren song and pulled me back into WoW. I'm also banging through Dragon Age: Inquisition (It's awesome!) and occasionally jumping into Destiny or BF4 to shoot mans. I also picked up Fallen Lords during the steam sale
3) Real World - I got Geckos! Real live lizards live in our house, now. They are pretty damn cool. I'm also looking to make my way to the gun range more frequently, though it hasn't happened, yet.
4) Travel - I'll be heading out to Colorado on December 20th (returning the 28th). We'll have someone house-sitting, most likely, so any shipments will be safe, but un-opened until my return.
I go by Kendrik on pretty much everything I do online (with bfk_kendrik or Kendrik01 being used in some cases) so if you see a Kendrik posting something, it's likely to be me.
