I hope my santa wasn't planning on getting me a PS4, because I kind of just ordered one on Newegg (Uncharted bundle is marked down to 280, and you can get 5% if you use the mobile site with a code). So...yeah.
And I preordered Just Cause 3 last week, but I mentioned as such in that thread. So...sorry if you had grand plans for me (that I couldn't hope to expect you to plan, hence my less-than-reluctance on ordering these).
I just want to spray hot gifts all over my Santee right now. Being that it's digital..I could just do it.. JUST DO IT.. Going to wait till December tho!
It's gauche to not get your Santee something physical they can touch, right?
I'm not sure what gauche means, but if Santa spent time and figured out cool digital stuff that I'd like then that's awesome. If they spent time and figured out cool physical stuff then that's awesome. Really, I just think it's cool that, as a community, we take time to think about a stranger and make their holiday better. If that's Steam games and eBooks, well, I enjoy those things and more thought went in there than my parents getting me another hoodie from American Eagle and a pair of pajama pants.
What I'm saying is you guys are awesome, and if anybody here gets a digital Christmas and complains about it then maybe this isn't really the tradition for them.
Amazon man knocked on the door do deliver a surprise package! I grabbed the nearest game to hide out my address (and missed another address label that the lovely white square is hiding)
Present! Featuring dog hairs that need hovering!
Hype? Next chapter? Well there's one thing I know I'm excited about that has a next thing coming soon...
OH SNAP! It's the super deluxe expansion to one of the best board games you can currently get, Imperial Assault! This is seriously freaking awesome, more IA is the best thing!
@jclast Greeted me with the Gift of Steam this morning! I received "Ticket to Ride" and the MAP DLC's! It greatly appreciated and it's a board game i just recently got into! Thanks again!!!
I HAVE RECEIVED CLUES. Currently trying to decipher, ideally this will lead me to the way to open that safe! Will continue to update here.
Clue 1 Deciphered!
Here it is:
Can you figure it out? Headed to location of clue 2 now. PUZZLES! QUESTS! A literal safe! Excitement.
Solution to Clue 1 inside.
PUT A V ON ROOM
THE ITEM SOUGT DOES ZOOM
SEEK NOT WHAT SOARS
THE ITEM IS NOT YOURS is what clue 1 said. So after taking a while to figure out what the hell "A v on room" meant, because I'm an idiot, I found clue 2...
Clue 2 Location:
in my girlfriend's car!
More codes inside. Decyphering now...
edit again!
Clue 3 found! Clue 2:
Solution:
Numbers coorespond to letters of the alphabet, solution was:
I AM MADE UP OF WORDS
BUT HAVE TONS OF LETTERS.
WHAT HAS A FLAG
BUT CANNOT WAVE?
Found in my mailbox!
Now figuring out clue 3.
Edit!
Clue 3:
Solution:
Had to convert to letters AND shift it. Gave me:
It has a million stories
But cannot tell them.
while sitting at the library. This one took a while!
Made my way to the Dairy Queen that's very close to my house to find a final clue! (And blizzards om nom)
Answer:
of the ancestors hearths
this one is the most
significant
but not directly yours
led me to girlfriend's parents house! Ran over there and retrieved the key!
This finally led me to the key!
The safe was opened, the gifts retrieved!
An awesome magnet pen, sweet T shirt I can wear while I teach, Doctor Who icecube mold, a "Aroma R-Evolution" that washed out a bit in the picture (This looks super cool! Can't wait to test this out), and a bunch of dinosaurs! Thanks so much santa! This was awesome! Now reveal yourself puzzlemaster! I saw real name but no forum name. Thank you so much! This pen has been sitting here confounding me for a while.
I was just minding my own business wandering the wasteland when outta nowhere Santa strikes!
Also and I'm not totally sure why, but I got an order confirmation e-mail for an Undertale t-shirt from Fangamer, due to previous steam chat shenanigans I'm almost positive that the billing address on that e-mail is from @Madican the same person the steam gift was from! Thanks!
From my stalking, my Santee seems to really enjoy one specific thing. Which gives me options, but it also feels sort of like cheating by going off that.
Yeah, the shirt is the second part of the gift Kanden. It's a preorder so it won't be shipping until mid-December and wanted to make sure you knew it was on its way.
My "secret" Santa @Noizlanif nailed this christmas offering.
(warning, about 7 big pics here)
Thanks so much! I especially love Kingdoms of Amalur and Dying Light. Amalur is a game i played a bunch on ps3 but have always wanted to re-experience on pc. I've done approximately zero of the main story, focusing solely on side quests before and i know that based on what you do you may end up visiting completely different parts of the world. Would be interested in trying out a magic build.
Dying light looks like exactly my sort of game right now too.
Everything else is delicious icing on a brilliant cake.
Thanks for making my backlog even harder to finish you terrific human being.
Edit: A prize to anyone who can work out the correct order the pictures go in. Sorry!
So you know sometimes you get too depressed to bake delicious treats and you spend all day in bed thinking about how homesick you are and how much you WISH THE THUNDERSTORMS WOULD STOP ALREADY (and do you KNOW how practically sacrilegious it feels for a CALIFORNIAN (no, I'm not there now but I'll be a Californian until the day I die) to find herself saying "please, please, I want it to stop raining now??"). Sigh. I have a time limit though, because nobody wants their yummy baked goods sitting in a post office for a day, so obviously want to get everything mailed so it gets there before it's over a weekend, and also these bananas are ripe now but will quickly go from perfect for baking to garbage. So it's still going to happen soon!
Santee! Expect some packages soon! Looks like it may be split into 3...
@mare_imbrium I can't even begin to guess how tough it is to have moved as you have, but I hope that the rain stops for you! It definitely doesn't help brighten any days.
I am strolling home, and there's a big heavy box waiting for me? Huh?
hmmmmmmm
hmmmmmmmmmm
What could it be?
Awesome! Thanks santa! I'm going to make friends sit down and play this with me in the next week or so! Always been curious about their board games for d&d, I'm excited to give this a shot!
My wife and I play that one all the time. She kicks my ass at it. She is much better at resource management games (which that game is), but I still really like that game and the fact that they worked quests and all that into a game like that.

The package arrived yesterday but I was away for the weekend, so I got it today. Let's take a look:
The orange cat kept watch over the box, making sure it was not disturbed.
The the brown cat came around wondering what was up and I was like all right let me open the thing now.
It was this Zelda stuff! Sweet! Looking forward to playing Triforce heroes, and the LttP tpb I've wanted since release since I had a Nintendo Power subscription when they were releasing bits of it in that every month, and I did enjoy then.
Then the brown cat got in the box.
And the attached notes, which unfortunately gave absolutely no indication of who my Santa was. Oh well! Guess they just decided to remain anonymous this year. :P
Thanks @TheRoadVirus ! May you have a Happy Merry Whatever as well!

Merry whatever the hell! Hope you get some use out of the things. Also man that box is like the perfect size for that cat
Man, I am totally drawing a blank on a potential project to do for Santee. Which is SUPER LAME! I have stuff already purchased, but still!
Also Santa, if you could talk to the potential new employer and tell them to go ahead and hire me already that would be great. Seriously, it sounds like a great gig and the company seems to want me, but the customer is not ready to have me on or something? I don't even know.
One from the wishlist and one I'd never heard of that looks right up my street. Hold the phone! It's by the Deadly Premonition guy?! I love that game! Super excited now.
Edit: Y'know what, I should probably crop out Santa's email there.

Oh hey, Santa.
Totally not a huge deal, but we've been getting notes on our neighborhood facebook thing about some folks having packages snatched off of their porches. So if you would be so kind as to maybe proxy me a tracking number or estimated delivery date or anything like that if you get one, it would be much appreciated. I hate to be a bother, but it would bring me peace of mind and I'd hate for something to get stolen and me not know for a while.

I'M SORRY, I WON'T BUY ANY MORE!
Other than that I covered my car/rent/utilities all today so that really deflated my desire to join rampant consumerism

Polite note that if you WERE going to grab anything from my Steam wishlist, the next few days are going to be a very cheap time to do so.

Apparently ups has had a bad habit of dropping stuff at my front door and said stuff disappearing.
So if you sent out gifts can you gave someone send me a pm letting me know?

Maybe it was too old and outdated to be of any help.
In any case, you likely just gave yourself up.
