    How weird are we talking? Treats from an unknown country? Helicopter dongs? Severed heads? C'mon, you gotta give us something to work with...

    Judging by the avatar, are we talking giant robots? Please be talking giant robots.

    I love coop games, and was able to break this out last night at my local game shop. It was super fun and I see it coming out super regularly. Thank you very much Santa @TheRoadVirus!

    So, well, wow. I got a very large box yesterday that I briefly thought was stolen from our building but it needed signed for so they took it to the convenience store connected to our building who holds packages for some of the Tenants. Opening and posting will be soon!

    This game is fantastically fun! The last time I played, my wife sacrificed us to all to open a portal to hell. Good times!

    hey guess what. I have no idea how to react to this. I'm completely floored. Santa has not revealed themselves as far as I could tell, but the letter and gift are wonderful and I even saw on the gift receipt that they donated to St Jude's when they got this! Just a good person all around as far as I can see and I am definitely humbled.

    Package
    Of course groot needs to check this out one out. i had a bigger photo to show the box size but i forgot to get rid of my address.

    I don't know, those capitalized numbers of people to pay this forward to seem to be oddly specific. Also, some odd capitalization in the first part of that letter.
    Checking the participants list, there is a username there with some familiar numbers. I'm not saying anything for sure one way or the other (beyond saying that I am not your Santa).
    But they are some oddly specific numbers.

    Now, anyone got any other advice or ideas for the puzzle my Santa sent me?
    Cause you got me stumped Bearded Gift Goblin. My thinkmeats just don't brain the way yours do, I guess.

    I'm glad it arrived safely. I was worried as it showed delivered but there was no post about it. I thought you might've gone off the deep end of gaming or someone swiped it using your name.

    Have fun with it!

    I was worried they'd just leave it in our mail room. there used to be someone who lived here who apparently had friends stealing people's packages, but he got kicked out 4ish months ago, but that's why there's a deal with the shop-owner of a convenience store in the corner of the building that he'll hold packages for people. And when they needed someone to sign for it, they took it right to him so I was able to get it this morning!

    i got it all out now though and set up. Honestly don't know what to do with it first. Does anyone have any ps4 specific recommendations on experiences worth diving into? I'm already thinking of bloodborne and Last of Us tomorrow. There's a lot coming out "soon(tm)" but I'm sure there's already a lot out now that i've been missing.

    There are a bunch of us ps4 peeps playing destiny, and its a pretty good game. Kinda has a Halo feel. Would only play if you're into that type of shooter, and the game is really enjoyable grouped up.

    I'm not sure you're thinking of the same game because no those collectibles are definitely not getting done in a reasonable amount of time.

    Neon is the best power set though, super fun. Video is the worst.

    It did not take nearly as long as most games do with that sort of thing.

    Hey Santa!

    With the book you sent me I have made and cooked TWO MEALS from scratch in the past two days.
    That's more than I've made in the past two years. Or maybe in my life. This is changing me, and my wife is very pleased.

    Here is a picture of some Beanballs (meatballs but made with beans) I made tonight with some spaghetti and sauce.
    It doesn't LOOK appetizing because I'm yet to get the presentation down, but it's because of you that I made this and it was real tasty. So, thank you and merry christmas. I promise I won't post every meal I make. I just wanted to say thank you and that the book is seeing use.
