    Your dad is a cool guy, Enslaved is pretty badass

    yeah

    in bizarro world

    I'm hoping to get it for Xmas, so don't you be going disillusioning me.

    It's an average ps2 game (no typo)

    Edit:The story is supposed to be good but after playing it, I can only assume that reviewers who said as much have had little experience of any other mediums of story telling than video games and that they have missed quite a few of the better ones of those.

    Enslaved is a fun ride, and a lot about it is great, but everything about it (save the performances by the three leads) is tarnished in some way or another.

    Question: If you only occasionally post in G&T, can you still sign up for this Secret Santa?

    Sure, but you probably won't get anything interesting since nobody has a sense of what you're into. It's a bummer for whomever is your Santa in that way.

    Thanks for letting me know!

    I'll try and sign up soon, most likely sometime tomorrow, but when I do, I'll make a post letting everybody know what I'm into!

    Your sig is begging for four Santa hats. :P

    If you can make a sig of those four adorable animals wearing Santa hats, I will make it my sig for at least the rest of the year.

    I cannot do this today, as I have to head to work shortly. But if it's not done by by tomorrow morning when I get home, I will hat your sig.
    Probably your avatar too.

    <3 thanks so much in advance

    No true don't discourage people like that. I always thought that stalking is optional rather than mandatory. I think it's perfectly fine to send your Santee presents that are not necessarily in line with the stuff they usually get as long it's something you think they'd enjoy.

    Couldn't agree more :^:


    Listen to these guys, they are more experienced with PA Secret Santa than I.

    I always tell my Santa (via Doc) that if they can't figure out what I'd enjoy, get me something they'd enjoy. It's always neat to see other people's tastes, first-hand.

    That said, I fuckin' love the stalking part of it - receive a perfect stranger and try to delight them with the perfect gift. There's something so... Christmassy about it.

    Yeah i need to sync up with Hypatia. She's a CS major so I'm pretty sure she has some sort of hybrid bubble sort dithering algorithm cooked up for the matching this year.

    Sign ups close on Wednesday, I think, so I'll try and match people up on Thursday and start sending PMs.

    This is the first year I won't be sending verification PMs for people to verify their addresses, do y'all think thats okay? I do it for my sanity. Sending two hundred PMs with copy-pasted address info is hellsa tedious.

    If I, hypothetically, had no heart and soul, I'd force my Santee to play through the now-forgotten The Path in order to get their real present. Nothing tops a loli rape simulator in this category. Off now to, hypothetically of course, check the steam price.

    I'm in. Finally.

    Did the Wii VC one a couple times, and it was great. Looked at my finances and I think I can swing something that will bring holiday cheer. =)

    Maybe my Santee will get a copy of Deadly Premonition. Or maybe they'll get 2 copies.

    ...is he kidding?...

    Sounds ok to me. People should just check their sent messages again to make sure everything is right, and if they notice a mistake they can just send you an email with the corrections.

    If you're my Santa, you should know that I already own Tomb Raider: Angel Of Darkness.

    Let's not go that far. :P I think I stopped playing early on... around the time that you were supposed to sneak into a museum or something. I still intend to finish it someday, but I never get around to it.

    I wish I had the old EGM article with concept art and details of Core's grand plans for the game. Releasing the game, and then having support for downloadable story chapters using the PS2's network adapter and hard drive blew my mind when I first read about it. I thought it was going to be the best game ever.

    I'm still a big fan of the Tomb Raider games, though (and Uncharted and Indiana Jones and anything else like that. I love me some ancient ruins and lost civilizations). The only one I don't own is Guardian of Light, but that will change after the PS3 gets the online patch.
