ARGH! Indecision sucks. I really want to be all festive and giving and such, but there's a distinct lack of moolah on my part!
ARRRRGH
Edit: Signed up before my logic fought away my giving-ness!
Santa:
L-XL clothes (UK sizes),
Googling me will get you nowhere (even though there is a www.[my name].com - that's not me!)
Googling my forum name will get you...me on this forum (and maybe my 360 GT)
I've not been excited about Christmas prsents for a couple of years! This is totally going to reimbue my Christmas Spirit
P.S. If I get nothing, I'm boycotting Christmas forever...no pressure!
I have soooo many ideas for my santee. And can't wait to get to stalking
Santa:
Clothes are always welcome I fit comfortably into a mens medium or large, Also I love hats especially those of the outrageous variety, I wear a size 7 1/4 .
As far as systems go I have a Xbox 360, DS and I am in the process of building a PC
Also, no chocolate please, I am allergic to the stuff. Other than that everything is fair game
Just watched Nightmare Before Christmas the other night, officially getting Halloween out of my system and prepping for Christmas!
This is Halloween Halloween Hallowee--err, wait, umm...the children all are singing, instead of throwing heads?
Doc's Lament
There are few who'd deny, at what I do I am the best
For my stalking is renowned far and wide
When it comes to books in the moonlit night
I lurk without ever even trying
With the slightest little Googling of my ghostlike charms
I have seen grown men give out a shriek
With the stroke of her brush, and a well-placed pwned
I have swept the very bravest off their feet
Yet year after year, it's the same routine
And I grow so weary of the lack of pics
And I, Doc, the Santa King
Have grown so tired of the same old thing
Oh, somewhere deep inside of these bones
An emptiness began to grow
There's something out there, far from my home
A Brawl tourney that I'd never known
I'm a master of Santees, and a demon of Bunnies
And I'll ban you right out of your pants
To a guy in Turkey, I'm Mister beef jerky
And I've shiped throughout England and France
And since I can't sticky, I can't be picky
To perform moderator functions
No animal nor man shows spirit like I can
With each gift post introduction
But Khoo here would ever understand
That the Santa King with the bleached grin
Would tire of his Bowser, if they only understood
He'd gay it all up if he only could
Oh, there's an empty place in my bones
That calls out for something unknown
The cheer and joy come year after year
Does nothing for these empty tears

I wrote that in at 2:21PM actually, being an Australian resident
I woke up at 4:30AM for work this morning, and have been doing so for oh... Roughly three years
I'm bad enough at getting into 9am classes at uni! I think the only times I've woken up before 5 was for sex or to catch a flight or something - basically things where I know I can go to sleep once I've reached my destination.
You can actually be awake at 6:21 AM?! You monster!
My morning routine:
* Up at 5:00 AM
* 5:10 AM, 420 cal exercise routine. Primarily aerobics.
* 5:40 AM, 20 mins of boxing
* 6:00 AM, 15 min relaxation routine
* 6:15 AM, 10 mins for eating
* 6:25 AM, 35 mins for grooming
* 6:55 AM, leave for work

I guess I'm satan himself then.
Hail Satan
Mine is:
* 4:30 AM, Alarm rings. Hit snooze
* 4:39 AM, Lurch out of bed (My mobile phone alarm is weird like that)
* 4:55 AM, fully clothed and off to breakfast (wear a lot of PPE gear so it takes a while)
* 5:10 AM, brush teeth and walk to work
* 5:35 AM, arrive at work
And its just past 6 PM now so it's time to leave, *Troy McClure voice* Goodnight, everybody
Oh, and dear santa, Large Woot Shirts work excellently, medium or large hoodies are always fantastic, comic books / graphic novels are amazing and cheap video games are good too. Action figures are a great choice as well. Those little Marvel Universe ones that Juneau, Alaska doesn't have, those are nice.

I already have one part of a gift and I don't even know my Santee yet.
As for me, I wear medium clothes, I'm 6'2". I own all the gaming systems. All of them. I like music, but I'm picky as hell. My favorite bands are Tool (and as an extension A Perfect Circle) and The Mars Volta. I hate most music, and like what I consider unique things. Post-rock and progressive rock are good - I'd recommend against sending music because there's a 99% chance I'll hate it. Movies, my taste is more broad (I used to be a film major). My two favorite films are John Carpenter's The Thing, and Jame's Cameron's Aliens.
I'm fairly open to any kind of gift, anything not videogame or movie related might actually be a better bet, because I already own most everything I could want.
I am really almost 100% a lurker, so I've got to say something or my poor Santa will have nothing to go on.
Boring stuff about what I like!
I'm a girl, age 24, software designer/engineer.
As far as non-gaming interests go, I like to write (poorly) and I love love love Classical history. That is, Romans and Greeks, Caesar and Alexander the Great, myths and monsters, etc.
Games I own/love the shit out of:
Every Legend of Zelda, seriously, I Zelda
Secret of Mana, Secret of Evermore
The 'main system' Mario games (I lack DS/gameboy ones, bad gamer, bad...)
ICO (my favorite game ever!), Out of this Word (aka Another World), Shadow of the Colossus
Earthbound, The older Final Fantasy games
The Dig, Myst, The Longest Journey
Bioshock, Fallout 3, Stalker
Multiplayer (co-opt FTW):
Castle Crashers, Legend of Zelda: Four Swords, Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, Left 4 Dead
Creatures (and other non-stupid artifical life games, so ... none of those crappy DS games)
Systems I can play on:
xbox, xbox 360 (+ live account)
NES, SNES, Gamecube, Wii
Sega Genesis
DS, Gameboy SP, old b&w gameboy
Computer (+ Steam)
... so, in general, I like story-driven games (not necessarily RPGs), adventure games/platformers, and co-op multiplayer games. I like retro games, and thus retro-game related /stuff/. I tend to like whatever iconic little monsters live in each game. I really like pixel art and try to make it (poorly). I like chiptunes/video-game inspired music but basically don't own any. I'm not a huge fan of figurines, but otherwise I like gamer shit - mugs, decor, etc. I like hats but want to avoid t-shirts if I can.
I love old games. If you want to go into a bargain bin and get a handful of ancient games, that is seriously a fine option for me. As long as they aren't sports games (yarg), or too awful.
All that said: just trying to help, Santa, if you're stuck. You can send me anything, I am sure I will like it! This is my first Secret Santa ... I'm super excited. Thank you for your glorious gift-giving ways!

Hey Santa, here's all the information you need about me
Is there a site (besides Amazon) that is like Backloggery and DVD Aficionado but for books/comics?
Like... A backloggery for comics? I really can't imagine something like that being useful, reading a comic isn't nearly as much of a timesink as the average video game.
I see what you mean though, and I don't know it. What do you have against using Amazon?

Nothing at all. I was just wondering. :P
I will probably just make a separate Amazon list of all the comics I own or something.

Ah I see, to give a peek into your tastes. Hmm that's interesting... I really enjoy reading comics and would like to buy more, but I can never be arsed to look around for something good. Also, the only place I can buy comics is online, so I can't actually read them in the store or something

Make a spreadsheet list then upload it to Google docs then link that.
Then join the GV SS too so you get and give even more comics! Like I probably will. Most likely.

I got your PM. I'm just livin' my life one PM at a time, you know? Like Vin Diesel.

This reminds me, if my santa wants to buy me plane tickets to the US to go and see the Protomen that is just dandy.
They're throwing snowballs too
