    Thanks Santa! Never heard of this author, but the story sounds interesting. I also do like Final Fantasy a fair bit, and am really into worldbuilding which is sometimes much to the detriment of my progress in actually writing the story. And the Black Knight will be occupying my desk to protect my trove of Diet Pepsi cans from wandering heroes.

    Now, reveal thyself!

    I turned 30 today, what better way to celebrate that soul crushing round number than to continue giving away games on my favorite gaming forum of all time? Oh and not one of you buttholes PMed me asking for a single one of the Origin games I was offering for day seven of this giveaway I'm doing. So I'm just going to give those games to some needy neckbeards in a chat room somewhere.

    Welp, my 'one day shipping' Wii U I ordered on wednesday still didn't arrive today. Kinda put a downer on my weekend.

    Buuuut I got gifts from santa! I've been told there's a second delivery on the way however, so I will not be opening anything until I have a complete set.

    Nick Soapdish...IE...The Tick! Twas' me the Merry little Stalker that sent you the Lego's! There was supposed to be one more small package coming your way and it's still scheduled to ship but it's a very small thing from a very local brewery i thought you might enjoy. Turns out they only ship out when they distribute so it could be anytime in the upcoming future they actually get around to shipping!

    Anyhow, i hope you enjoy and have a great Holiday! Wanted to get the gifts to you before the Holiday madness took over!

    That makes me sad. While I dislike having yet another steam-like platform because EA is a bunch of whiners, it's un-possible to skip Dragon Age, Mass Effect, or Battlefield on the PC. You're missing out on some great games because of that decisions. Props for sticking to it, though.

    Santee, my schedule is getting annoyingly full and along with shipping times at Christmas the other part of your gifts may need to be abandoned. I'll have to start thinking of alternates. :-(
    I was really looking forward to that though, so I'm willing to try and still make it work.

    I totally forgot to tell my Santas for two years now that they should send me a key chain from where they live. I collect key chains. I guess I don't actively collect them much anymore but I have been collecting them for like, 23 years now (I am so old). Every time a relative is going away somewhere I tell them to bring me one. I don't know what made me think of it, but now I want to get them all out and look at them.

    I'm glad that puzzle is easier than the last one! I've been trying to decode the (what appears to be) hex code to no success. Can't convert to decimal, or binary, or ascii and get any sort of result that makes sense.

    I got an Amazon package late last night, and there was another waiting for me when I got home today! Could it be Santa?? I may need to confirm they're not from my mother, and are therefore to be left unopened until Christmas. Unless Santa wants to send me a Proxy message to let me know they're from you?

    funny thing is I actually dug an old, dying tree out of the garden recently and I could feasibly plant a 14ft christmas tree in it's place. It's certainly intriguing.

    I'd have to cut that tree in half to make it feasibly fit inside my house. But then again, if you're getting a 14' tall tree, I'm imagining it is intended for outdoor planting?

    I'm not entirely convinced it's really a 14ft tree. Especially with overseas shipping.

    Unless santa google map'd my house and saw that I already have a (small) christmas tree planted in the garden.

    but shhhhhhh

    So I got two boxes from Amazon today, which is not unusual, as I've ordered a lot of things on Amazon over the past week. So I was just opening them to see what it was when I spied wrapping paper in one! Whoops! So I got my camera and went in search of a suitable representative. My cats are...meh, not helpful, maybe I'll enlist them next time (spoiler alert). So I got my two-year-old's new Build-a-Bear. He just made him last night - and yes, this was completely his choice. He throws him around to make him "fly." The box in the background, yes, that fairly sizable box, had a recorder in it. As in the flute/whistle type instrument.
    IMG_3818_zps5c95ada1.jpg

    Inside the description...gift the which? Third? This is the only thing I've gotten, so it must have been at the distribution center in AZ or NV, I always get that stuff next day. NOW I HAVE ANTICIPATION!
    IMG_3819_zpscca28557.jpg

    Thank you Santa! I haven't read this one before, but I have seen it gifted in years past and I've heard good things about it. I am pretty thinly read as far as comics, I mostly have DC trades, and not more than a dozen of those. I guess I have mediumish collection of old Knights of the Dinner Table comics as well. Anyway, I look forward to reading it as soon as the kids go to bed.
    IMG_3821_zpsabb61b89.jpg

    I could probably look in the invoice envelope and possibly see who sent it to me, but since this is apparently only one of three gifts (squee) I think I'll wait until the rest arrives to try to unmask you. Just FYI, if this stuff was supposed to come tomorrow, I am going to be out all day tomorrow so I might not get to it until quite late or Sunday.

    I believe it is!

    Santa, my vastest apologies for missing your emails, but I've been doing this week-long whole-company meeting thing, where somehow I got put in charge of everyone's presentations and, simultaneously, we kicked off a new product launch with a new customer at the same time I got put in charge of revamping one of our old products. I haven't checked personal email in, like, way too long.

    So, anyway, I get back home today and start checking through my email when, much to my surprise, I notice some ... notices ... from the Steam Store. What classiness!

    Well shit, now I'm going to have to buy all the other volumes of this.

    Saga spoilers, I guess
    The robot kingdom people make me think of Castle Vidcons, and that makes me laugh a little every time they appear, which is probably not the reaction I'm supposed to have.

    Saga was the first comic I purchased digitally. It is an amazing series that I can't seem to put down. Your Santa rocks for spreading this joy!
