    Seriously, it's the most depressing story of our kind I've ever heard. But, if you think it's an option you want to consider, as you rebuild your library : they make safes pretty damn big. Like, bigger than a man. And if your library won't fit in one, there's always the option of two.

    I'm going to need to start considering a second in the next year or two.

    Wow, a PS3, that is quite the awesome gift.

    Santa: Sorry I haven't been posting very much as of late, been very busy at work and little time to relax in the evenings.

    Santee: I have a few ideas for what to get you, but your disappearance on the forums is disturbing. Will lock down the gift selection this weekend.

    Holy crap a PS3!
    Santee:
    Stalking you was fun, although slightly limited due to filtered internet access.
    Any plans for Turkey day?
    Those may change...

    Oh My Goodness, Harvest, a PS3!!!!!!! That is amazing!

    Started my santee painting. I think I'd call it about half way done. Goodness the time this takes...

    Tell me about it! I've been working on 3 Child's Play paintings, my current Oxfam one, and my Secret Santee's - feels a bit like a production line - and meal time in our house involves sitting surrounded by canvasses! However, I've posted the Child's Play ones, so my dining room is a bit roomier.

    Now to make the box to post it all in ...

    It would be hard to make a super cool box and ship it from Brazil, so you're gonna get a few separate things by themselves...

    I hope you liked the action figure, I'm a big MGS fan too, and those figures are usually really cool.

    I'm Christmas cheering pretty hard over here, I was very happy to get you as Santee.

    And to the new PS3 owner: Speaking from experience, the PS3 is a curse! The amount of money and time I have put into it is insane! My wife and I curse JAEF's name daily for the travesty he has incurred upon my family.
    just kidding JAEF we still love you!

    I hope Santee's gift arrives here soon, so I can wrap it up and ship it out.
    Santa's impatience will perhaps be to Santee's gain. :D

    In the meantime, Turkeyday is almost upon us. After that, we put up the Christmas decorations!

    Santee, why haven't you posted? Did you not like what I sent you? Did you die of shock it was so bad? Are you already dead and buried, mouldering away?

    I just got it today! I am moving this week so I wasnt at the address that it got delivered to until after work today. I wrote up a reply and posted pictures. I very well could have died from shock. I was borderline shaking with a shit eating grin on my face that I still cant wipe off lol.

    See my post for a write up but again thank you so much. I cant possibly thank you enough!
    :shock: Dam you harvest your now getting a bag of coal. As there is no way your Santa going to be able to top a ps3;
    and giving out the second ps3 of the year would just be silly o_O

    Also of note to Santa of Secrets: I will be out of town from about now until sometime on Sunday. My roommate has been instructed to let me know if any packages should wonder about. Shouldn't be anymore false alarms since everything is together for my Santee now :) And that will head out on Monday or Tuesday. Have a good Turkey Day to all who celebrate such things!

    True, I was spoiled. But I was also devastated! My wallet emptied quickly, my backlog filled, I am drowning in video games!


    But really now, you're already an awesome Santa! I love filling my action figure shelf which was empty only a few years ago. All of those figures come from Secret Santas, and I would have it no other way!

    Well harvest has that too because I TRULY love him.

    But it is thought that counts in gifts. I had it on my wishlist and mentioned that I would like one. Harvest, being incredibly generous, was able to make my wish come true. I will not be able to get my Santee a PS3 but I am sure they will still like what they get them.

    I was proud of my gift, but WELL.

    In that vein, I should have said something yesterday Santee, but your gift has shipped! I have no clue how long it will take to get there though, as I only had one option for shipping and it didn't explain who it was shipping with or how long it would take.

    In the meantime, I'll drop a maddeningly vague hint:

    This gift is something for your collection.
