    btw I posted some A grade rhymes above make sure to throw them some love.

    My Santee I know is awaiting a gift
    I hope they are not sat home, upset and miffed
    The delay is regrettable, and I offer apology
    For causing this bump in the Christmas chronology

    I was summoned back home, to the cold but Great Britain
    so I've bought gifts most English and I hope you'll be smitten
    They are things that I miss when I'm in the US
    so I hope that you like them and that they impress

    There's things to enjoy when you're wrapped up by a fire
    Which might mean you need to move colder and higher
    I don't know where you live will ever see snow
    It's typically hot with the sun all a-glow

    So there's plenty in there you can enjoy in the heat
    And obligatory things you can put on your feet
    What would Christmas be, after all, without socks?
    But fret not, they aren't the sole contents of your box.

    Along with some wonderful pins that will be perfect to trade around at South, I have a brand new Tales game to pour way too many hours into again on my Vita (I'm honestly probably playing it right now as you read this). Cheers to Shadow, @Juicesir and @Pureval for setting this up, and happy holidays to everyone! =D

    @Versuserik holy shit, you're awesome! I got home from a long day of work to see what appeared to be an Amazon box on my front steps. I immediately thought, "Oh crap, what the hell did I forget about ordering this time?" It was -5F outside, but I took this picture anyway:
    wZmwnsm.jpg

    This box was from Hawaii, so it definitely wasn't enjoying the weather. I had to bring it inside. It even smelled like a warmer climate.
    FGOsaPq.jpg
    I lied. It didn't smell any different. Not that I could tell. My nose still wasn't functioning due to the cold

    HOLY SHIT! STUFF! A Warcraft mug, a Mur'ghoul, a NSFW Gabe pin, a horde/alliance armband, a Carl pin (love me some Automata), and A FRIGGIN LEEROY JENKINS PIN! I'm pretty sure my SS wins the internet.
    GvqjZ7U.jpg



    Bonus pic: I just got a shadowbox to start putting things in, and my mini-murlocs were missing something in the Blizzard section. Mur'ghoul is right at home.
    dk5Ymzz.jpg

    So, @Versuserik , thank you so very much. You rock!

    Ha, thanks. It's missing a Ziggs bomb or Poro from Riot, which I'm hoping to acquire at South. I have yet to determine what the final 6 spots will hold, as I'm extremely picky diligent.

    If you don't get the ziggs bomb at South, let me know. I have one and I'm sure we could work something out for you to add it to your collection. I love it…but I also love that shadowbox and want to see it completed. :)

    I have been informed that my gift was on its way to me, but for some reason the address wasn't good, so it got returned to the sender. I do not know if I misstyped my address, or if it's something else, but we've agreed it might be easier to bring it to PAX South and give it in person to me.

    Sorry :( I'll share as soon as I know what I'll get

    A super fancy lens mug (even properly matched to my actual preferred camera manufacturer). If you'll notice I had a lower quality one (left) that I rarely used because it did absolutely nothing for retaining temperature. Welp, the old one is now in the trash as I've enjoyed two cups of coffee in it already this week.

    Ha ha. Whoops. I thought I was being clever when I saw you mentioned the set on your twitter feed a few months ago but it looks like your friend had the same line of thinking. I hope you can find a good home for it.

    I am freaking out a bit right now. I came home from work today to an unexpected package from Penny Arcade. I hadn't ordered anything recently and it was an unusual size so I had no idea what to expect.

    It ended up being a bonus Secret Santa gift from the man himself Mike Krahulik. Many thanks to him and @grgemonkey‌ for setting this up.

    VdxKF85l.jpg

    This is a great bonus as I have always wanted to get a sketch from Mike but never took the time at PAX. I love seeing original art and this will be going up on my wall as soon as I can get a frame.
