    I wonder when ArcSyn will get started on the avatar hat making! :p

    Yours is easy, I still have it from last year. :D I may need assistance this year as work is crazy busy currently so I dunno when I'll get some free time to do the hatting like I did last year. Though, if I find some free time, you better believe hatting will commence.

    I'm gonna wear my hat now, just to remind me.

    Man who knows. Glenn565's was definitely "it" last year. Paying for a flight + hotel for a stranger to live out his dream of participating in a tournament is fantastic in so many ways.

    The Bowser model and the custom nerf guns were all cool, too. Oh and LewieP's Mummy's painting, of course.

    Did an R.P.D Perfect Shot. And had an R.P.D. shirt printed up. I wanted to include a copy of Umbrella Chronicles but my Santee already had it!

    Hearing about all the shit (as a good term) that people are able to create, and especially the paintings LP's Mum makes ... it's just so awesome. I hate the fact that I'm artistically devoid of any talent. If I sent anything that I "created" it would look like a 3rd grader did it ... so I shall just have to spoil my santa with tons of store bought gifts!

    But just to anyone that has the ability and creativity to make something, your gifts and skills are an inspiration to us all!

    I checked the wall and his Santa is listed as Unknown. Did we ever find out who did it? Cause DAMN.

    Man, is Glenn565 still around? He received the anonymous plane tickets to a Brawl tournament. That was pretty rad. I never really heard back from him after that.

    Are we sure this tournament was as advertised?

    Shouldn't Doc have it written down somewhere who his Santa was?

    I mean, if he'd turned out to be a deadbeat he would have needed to know.

    Deadbeat, in this context, is synonymous with rapist.

    Yeah re: Glenn I know who his Santa was, and got the flight tracking and all that info. I talked to Glenn last year and he said he'd post a photo journal of everything that happened. Alas, no journal. Maybe I should send some "incentive", if you know what I'm sayin'.

    Last year I was moving around Christmas time so I didn't take part. The year before I was in China and my gifts were according. Anyway, I've since moved back to Finland with my family and I'm taking part again. It's still international shipping for most santas, but at least this time I don't have to worry about the mail not delivering my package.

    Im so so close to commiting to this. Last year I did the VC Santa and had a blast (and still cant beat Mega Man 9!). Its just money is SUPER tight this year and I know Im going to get someone who lives on the moon and shipping will murder me.

    But - Im so full of Christmas Spirit I think I'll have to suck it up anyways. I just hate seeing stuff like that home made Bowser - you've raised the bar so damn high and I'm POOR AND HAVE NO SKILLS.
