Hi everyone! I'm still catching up after having around 2 straight weeks of travel to visit family. There may be others here in the same boat so I ask that everyone not panic about deadbeats or Santees until I get everything straightened out. I'll do my best to get everything caught up in the next day or so!
I fell behind on the thread while the holiday happened. Glad to catch up though. Wanted to say thank you all, it was fun. The steam link is being used almost daily at my house.
As for mailing booze, I was scared last year when I sent mine out. It wouldn't have just been booze lost, it would also have been the custom flask I sent.
Not that I'm afraid I'm going to be accused of being a deadbeat, I just wanted to mention for record keeping purposes that I was dalith14's Santa. I got him Mad Max when the Steam Sale started and he thanked me over Steam but I don't think he posted that he'd found out my identity in the actual thread, and I know there was some talk that his family was having health issues so I'm sure he had other things on his mind.
My santee, Belligerent, confirmed he'd received my gifts awhile ago, but also said his computer died and couldn't post photos. I bought him Shadows of Mordor in October. In December I bought him a book on star wars, a steam game, and some candy. Hopefully his computer gets fixed and he can post photos.

YES! I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON IN THIS THREAD WHO LOVES GUNPLA! That's totally a gorgeous kit, @grim123
Like @EvilBadman said, he pmed me a couple of days ago and provided a tracking #. For some reason, USPS said I rejected the package, which is BS. I've tried calling, but there's a couple of different post offices in the area, and none seem to be tracking it.

Happy new year everyone. It was fun as usual. Looking forward to doing it again at the end of the year!

So on New Year's Eve we played our first five player game of Forbidden Desert. The second to last player just got onto the ship and the last player was about to go.
We drew the Storm cards and then this happened:
It was a fun game even though we lost.
Thanks again, @The Mantiz , for the wonderful game!
@Handgimp, I'm happy that you like the gifts. I wasn't sure what sort of knives you already had, so I decided to go with a workhorse knife that could always be used. As for the books, they came highly recommended to me as good primers so I think you'll be able to get a lot of mileage out of them.

Hey guys! There's been some unfun stuff related to my gift and the gift to me. I wrested mine from the apartment office after they disappeared for the holidays, so let's:
Amethyst guards the box and address info:
A pair of Wrestlemans, ready to be created like, well like Frankenstein monsters:
Beyond these is an assortment of foods. The pocky-likes are like dry pancakes with maple syrup. Delicious.
]
Blackest Night Superman pop fig. Also, a Monster Hunter box with some sort of nurse? I am not versed in this.
Alien, Big Trouble in Little China fig, and two blind bags. The WWE one was Sin Cara. I already broke it (this is a wrestling joke).
Khoo has one more gift coming. His original gift was destroyed because it turns out that you can't just mail booze across the country. Hah.
IT HAS ARRIVED! Thank you @HallowedFaith for the make-up candy - you really didn't need to. The thought of the booze was quite enough - I'm sorry it was destroyed. I'm sure it was excellent! But candy is also good!
I am a terrible Santee, I also got gifted Organ Trail!
I tried it out and it seems like a zombie edition of the Oregon Trail! Sadly, my husband got dysentary...and a zombie bite...and well, I might have had to put him down.
I'm not kidding about the not believing part, I hardly believe it myself. I got an email this morning and as I checked the preview of it on my phone, it said something about a gift certificate. At first I think, oh what's this a voucher or some "contest" that I've won that I never entered. I was dubious about opening the email because it looks like the most obvious spam but then I re-read it, and read it once more. Gift certificate. Gift. What the hell? My wife and I don't typically buy gifts for one-another so close to Christmas, something wrong is happening here.
No. Not wrong. Something unbelievable is happening here.
Some incredibly generous Santa has gifted me 5 goddamn laps in a V8 Supercar! :surprised: :surprised:
For those not in the know, this is what they are:
A fully-fledged V8 race car with about 600hp. 5 laps around Barbagallo Raceway and a further 3 in the passenger seat with a professional driver.
I am fucking floored. I can't believe this! This is an incredible gift, I can't think of any other way to say it. Thank you, whoever you are, you glorious bastard. If you decide to tell me who you are I'll send you a copy of the USB and in any case post it here for people to see.
Thank you once again :biggrin: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh I'm so excited!
Goodness me it was a nerve-wracking experience haha. If nothing else it taught me that there is so much more to racing than I previously thought, and I'm a guy with a racing rig in his theatre room. Thanks again, @Handgimp :biggrin:

Perhaps I can interest you in my meager selection of pins?
Got a package from @Turkey ! No pet so I've enlisted the help of last year's little Totoro for help!
Those are some awesome goods!
SandLand is a one shot manga by the same guy who created Dragon ball. Gonna enjoy reading this one!
Had my eye on Love Letter for a while. Can't wait to play it!
So many blu rays! Little Totoro really likes a certain one though. No idea why.
Thank you very much!
I am so, so jealous of that Hanafuda N3DS.
There should be a third item arriving to go with that and the book. Apologies again for taking so long, I hope you enjoy everything.
Thanks @Kirindal! I'm super excited to expand my cooking horizons! Sorry it took me so long to get back home to the package.

Sweet!
This was actually my first Xbox One game, but I traded it in a while back. Every so often I have a hankering to replay it, so this is great. Thanks!
