    @TeeMan took offense to my lack of Spelunky and promptly took steps to remedy the situation.

    Honestly the only reason I didn't own it, was because I thought I had it in my collection already.

    As part of the Steam Sale Holiday Time,
    I decided to speak only in rhyme.

    I will continue to explain the rest of my day,
    As I've taken a week from work this holiday.

    --

    I awoke and was just ready to play,
    only to find myself led completely astray.

    My folks called for help in cleaning the yard.
    To cut down large trees, it'll be hard.

    The day grew dark, finally could relax,
    I sit to find a message from @DaxterMax.

    A nice gift, I say, until I read what it was,
    Amazed and surprised and a bit preposterous.

    You really shouldn't give this much when you guys can,
    What was it? Why it was.....

    g23z.JPG

    I don't know if I deserve such trust,
    but all I can do is wish you the greatest Merry Christmas.

    Ok, so picture the scene here - I'm just playing some Rust, trying to work out why my snazzy new homemade cannon won't fire, when suddenly, out of nowhere, a popup of classiness shows up.

    It turns out that the nefarious @HyphyKezzy doesn't just sell sneakers with his looks, he also nurse grudges, and raided my wishlist when I wasn't looking.

    And as a result, I'm going to have to slice up helicopters, people and salami in Metal Gear Rising: Revengance: Colons : Words, for fun, profit and science!. I'm not sure what to do with you people any more, and definitely not sure what to do with this particular example. Something will have to be done, and it may involve spreadsheets, and perhaps a slide rule.

    Ok, as I download the new Batman and ready to game,
    I found that it's over 16 Gigs, are they insane!?

    I wouldn't say the wait makes me a bit sad,
    but how am I to stream an HD marathon of Breaking Bad? :|

    @Massena (who has EXCELLENT taste in football teams, I might add) decided to up and gift me Far Cry 3. Thank you! I was contemplating a sketchy trade for a Russian copy of this earlier in the week, which fell through, probably for the best. But now I have it anyway!

    Ok, so, while I was looking over at someone elses profile, trying to find where the wishlist link was this week, suddenly up pops another window. And it appears that someone else has come in. This someone sent me a game with a lead of... if i'm honest, indeterminate gender, with bright pink / purple hair.

    Someone formerly known as @Luchaire, and now, I believe going by the title @Ultrahonky: Lord of the Jive Turkeys. My apologies if your @ doesn't work, I'm really not certain on spaces. So, thank you, Merry Christmas, and because I'm curious, what on earth is a Jive Turkey?

    @capitalw just smacked me with eversion which I'm informed I should not look into and just play.

    So either this is going to be another I Want To Be The Boshy incident or a Hello Kitty Island Adventure incident.

    Either way the challenge has been accepted.

    I also have Civilization 5 Expansion Pack: Gods and Kings to give away which for some reason Steamgifts has no entry for so PM me a link to your steam profile if interested and I will have GabeN check if you've been naughty or nice.

    Apparently I have hit the limit of what I can sell without giving them Tax info.

    If I give them this and keep selling do I have to factor this into my taxes? Because that sounds annoying.

    Yeah, I LOVE getting a foil. As long as you get it early enough in a sale, it's worth at least one free game.

    I could care less about my Steam Level after hitting level 10.

    Furiously mining steam cards to sell on the market for Risk of Rain's eventual discount. Almost at my steam wallet mark ^_^

    I remember reading posts from such types of miners who figured that Steam could detect when one is running games concurrently, and scales back the card drops accordingly. But cards are limited drops anyways, so I don't see why that would be necessary. And it was on the steam user forums, if that says anything about likelihood of bullshit.

    But be careful, don't get trapped in that mine. You could get stuck inside of a game you don't even like for months, never seeing daylight until the rescue teams punch through and ask "Why do you have so much playtime on Superfrog HD?!"

    Ridiculous, but thank you! Also, it didn't all fit on my screen so I had to split up my images but I'm very curious how you dropped them all at once. I've never noticed an option to bundle up the class like that.

    Yay, Risk of Rain won! I'll be picking that one up in about 20 minutes.
    I know you don't need Far Cry 3 to play Blood Dragon, but do you get any bonuses in BD if you do?

    Pretty sure you get nothing. Regardless, I played through Blood Dragon first and thought it served me well for getting into Far Cry 3's mechanics later.

    Hmm. Now the bunny is getting in on the action, with @Berylline sending me a mysterious code. Classy? or Ratsy?

    We'll find out!

    Edit: Nope. Classy - the bunnys have raided my wishlist, and sent me Spec Ops: The Line.

    Awesome! I've heard that I should play it, but not when depressed.

    So, I can only believe that the bunnies are in some way related to CS1.

    Blade Symphony? What is this...? A spiritual successor to Jedi Knight II? Okay, you have my interest but it's early access.

    Has anyone played this extensively enough to know if it'll live up to it's goal with further polishing? It's super cheap but I'm trying not to nickle and dime my Steam wallet down to nothing super early in the sale for games I didn't know I wanted :P
