    I am so in for this! My Christmas spirit is really geting it's game on early this year.

    Bio wise I've got your standard geeky gamer tastes (both board and computer) with a huge slant towards the Nintendo/Zelda/Mario side of things. Medium build guy.

    Suprise me!

    edit:

    Note from future post repeated here to aid being found by Santa:

    Much as I love Zelda crap, there's a good chance I might already have anything you can easily find...

    Since taking those pictures I've completed the Majora's Mask figure set, got those pixel art pin board thingys and the Gashapon Twilight princess set.

    I think that covers it. Posting this more to avoid duplicates than in the expectation that you'll be able to find anything to add to the collection!

    Yes! I'm in this year as well. I got such badass gifts last year; Phoenix Wright 2, Nintendo pins and a Hulk Grey book. The sad thing is I never got to know who my santa was :(
    Also, I was the one who got to send SniperGuy delicious chocolate and christmas Beer last year and I plan to outdo myself this time around.

    Did I ever thank you enough? Because I am doing so right now. In addition to delicious chocolate and christmas beer, I got to drink and eat it in front of my evil fun sucking roommate, which angered him. So it was a double bonus!

    Oh, okay, since everyone else is doing this:

    I wear S to M sized men t-shirts
    If you want to send me something videogames related, I currently own a Wii, DS, all of the older Nintendo systems, and a 3 years old PC. But please remember that I live in PAL territory!
    If you're looking for a book or movie, I enjoy a broad range of different genres for both media. I like stuff like Pixar movies, Stanley Kubrick, science-fi and Utopia/Dystopia novels.
    And no mangas or animes please, or swedish penis enlargers, but I'm absolutely fine with everything else.


    Really, I'll be happy about any present you sent me, just as long you enjoy searching :)

    Well, I made 2 purchases last night. Just need to wait for the name so I can do some spying on them to find out what else they should receive. I will give some information for my santa so he knows what to get me and what not to get me.

    I like:
    Videogames (I have all the 'next-gen' consoles and both handhelds)
    Books/Movies (Anything, really. As long as its awesome)
    Large T-Shirts.
    Lego...(I'm scared to add a s :()
    And just about anything else BUT the items below.

    I dislike:
    Really cutesie anime.
    Computer games (Ok, I love computer games, but my laptop is a piece of shit)
    Live animals that attack me when I open the box. I really hate them.

    I like the surprise and I think the info hunt is a big part of this, so I'll just say I have a Wii, DS, a PC that struggles heavily with Bioshock, and I take a Small/Medium UK size shirts though I don't really wear gaming shirts. I do own a Sonic shirt though because I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it, and now I prize it.

Along the way they'll solve puzzles and fight boss battles and come out after it all a better and more appreciative person.

    Or die.

    MERRY CHRISTMAS!

    You are giving the gift of being grateful to be alive?

    That AND an adventure! It's a double present!

    I didn't much care for the Bioshock review. It didn't deliver on the funnies like the previous reviews, but it wasn't bad.

    The ending was very weak, though. Usually his videos have good endings.

    Did you just review a review?

    I found reVerse's review to be too short and a little light on content and quality. Still, his punctuation and sentence structure was better than most.

    It's a mix up of the two! I just hope others don't copy my awesome present idea otherwise everyone on the list could be waking up in the morning poisoned.

    If there's only one antidote then there'd be a Christmas Battle Royale to get it.

    And I fight dirty.

    (Still, it'd beat watching "The Snowman" AGAIN on xmas day)

    I'll put it out there now. You can send me something inappropriate as long as it is sent to my US address. I'd be funny to have this discussion with my GF:

    Her: WTF did you order :x
    Me: I didn't order anything it's a secret santa gift.
    Her: Whatever, you are not touching me with that thing.
    Me: Where's your sense of adventure.

    ... On a more serious note, I wear M sized shirts, I have a GBA and DS and I can watch DVDs from any region. I have a ton of DVDs already though, so I wouldn't recommend it to avoid duplicates. I like all sorts of music, even classical, as long as it doesn't lull me to sleep. Basically, I love surprises, so anything would be fine. Don't worry too much about it. :)

    Funny at first I read the same thing.

    But even if you don't want penis for xmas, if you do it might as well be really big, the person sending it is aiming for :shock:shock value:shock:

    The question then becomes: "How to I post a picture of my loot on the forum?"

    Appropriate time means the morning of the 25th for all you US boys and girls, the evening of the 24th for me and all my German fellows and which other ritual times there are for chrismas presents.

    I would be cool to add this or something similar to the OP so we can all tortue our Santees by sending the package way before X-mas. Making them rack theirs brains what might be inside the thing.

    Indeed. This should be the default behavior unless the gift arrives with a note that reads "would you kindly not open this until..."

    Oh man, I'm in. This came up rather quickly, I'm glad I saw this before it was too late. Last year was fun as hell.

    Let's see, I should be simple to shop for. I have a wii, 360, ps3, ds and psp if that matters. I'm an applied math major, as well as a teacher. I love basketball, baseball and ultimate frisbee. Heavy metal makes me happy, and I could use a good new book to read (lol books suck). Also, zombies are awesome.

    Basically I'd be thrilled with anything as simple wii/xbox points, or a donation to child's play or something. I'm mainly joining this b/c stalking my santee for gift ideas is a blast.
