When I was talking about shipping, I was talking domestically in the US. Pretty sure internationally, USPS is the cheapest by far regardless of whether you are using flat rate or not.
Dear Santa, thought I would make the obligatory hint post.
My wife and I just got 2DSs and Pokemon X and Y. I'm probably buying Pilotwings Resort (it's cheap) and maybe Mario 3D Land before Christmas but that's probably it as far as 3DS games. I have an Amazon wishlist that you can probably find pretty easily.
I have never played Pokemon. Have never been interested in it tbh but my god are people going nuts for it. People I work with who don't normally play games love it. Bizarre.

I hope your Santa buys you all available retail Pokémon games and a Pikachu 3DSXL.
Dear Santa,
I have amazon and steam wishlists that I keep up to date. If you find a backloggery don't trust it - I'm terrible at keeping it up-to-date. I've got LoZ: Link Between Worlds and R&C: Into the Nexus both pre-ordered. I'm also guaranteed to buy XCOM: Enemy Within on or before release day. Shirt size is XL or XXL if it looks like they run small. Consoles owned: 3DS, 360, PS3, pretty OK PC. I'm jclast pretty much everywhere so if you're looking at 360, PS3, or Steam then that's me. I've got 4 3-year old kids at home who love things that 3-year olds love like trains, Disney movies, and speaking unintelligibly with poor volume control. I like board games. I like reading (I tend to pick up sci-fi (recent favorite is John Scalzi), but if you've got a favorite I'd love to branch out). And I like Doctor Who, Breaking Bad, Hell on Wheels, Archer, and How I Met Your Mother (should be a decent cross-section of my TV habits). But most of all I like and will appreciate whatever comes my way. Don't take my wishlists as the only things I'd like - being surprised is awesome and I've found some of my favorite stuff by recommendation. If you want to coordinate with my wife have proxy send me a message and I'll get you her name for facebook messaging as she doesn't have a forum account here. Oh, and there's almost assuredly a PS4 in my future, but it won't be happening on or around launch - I'm saving my allowance for it and I'm only about halfway there.
- Love, jclast
size medium tops I guess. Don't really wear stuff with people or animals on it so it's probably a bit boring
Own a vita ps 3 and have an average PC rig that slowly seems to be grinding to a halt think I need an exorcist for my room or something. So many busted PC components in the last 3 years.
Don't have plans to buy a next gen console though I did have the PS 4 preordered. Had to cancel due to house restructuring and financial restrictions involving that. Need to get new everything basically; toaster, kettles, microwave, cooker and even sink, it's chaotic.
I also have a laptop I completely forgot about somehow. Planned on getting a galaxy tab 2 but my store was sold out sadly. I have an android phone Galaxy s3 so a good fit there.
I'm a huge fan of the Legacy of Kain series and Raziel has got to be my favourite character of any game.
I think that about sums it all up. Above all else please please please have fun doing this.
I have never played Pokemon. Have never been interested in it tbh but my god are people going nuts for it. People I work with who don't normally play games love it. Bizarre.
I was the same way. Then I picked up Pokemon Y and I'm having fun with it. I'm even grinding areas to catch every available pokemon before moving on and grinding is usually something I LOATHE doing.

Trying to Google up my hint post from last year, first hit is my gift get post! @Anarchy I am very much looking forward to getting Waterdeep out on to the table at a game night tomorrow. It has very much cemented itself as favourite game in my collection even a year on. Thanks again!

Glad to see I'm still pretty much Google anonymous, though having a Texan city that shares my name helps there. Adding 'Nature Medicine' will help you hit the real me. Which will help you none at all but strokes my ego :P

"Oh, well, this would be one of those circumstances that people unfamiliar with the law of large numbers would call a coincidence."
Got a lot of new people this year too. I'm hoping they stick around proper in G&T, now that would be a great gift.
Really? I thought it felt like we had less "hey guys, sorry I lurk and never post!" types this year, but maybe you're right.
I consider myself more of a forum ninja. It's like I was never here

According to my Santa, this is totally not a...
Came home from a day of teaching 14 year olds how to play Settlers of Catan, 10 at a time. (Hobby day for students who did not go on a class trip). Fun, but exhausting.
Tomorrow will be teaching four different games at the same time to a room full of twenty.
But I digress. Exhausted, I check my email and find the following message.
Greetings Judge-Z,
My preliminary stalking (by which I mean glancing at your Steam account wishlist when I should have been working) showed that at one point in time you wanted to pick up Lord of The Rings: War in The North.
By an amazing coincidence, that's one of the games in the current Humble Bundle (also discovered while I should have been working).
Clearly, this was a sign telling me I should get back to work before my boss gets on my case, but I chose to interpret it as a sign that some pre-gifting giftage was in order in order to further bloat your backlog. It's what Santa does.
That said, here's your link for Scribblenauts, Arkham City GOTY, Arkham Asylum GOTY, F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin, F.E.A.R. 3 and Lord of the rings: War in the North.
I know you own some of these titles already, but one does not go against the will of the Humble Bundle lightly.
This isn't the end Santee. I fear Christmas is just beginning.
Anonymous Santa Random Number
Holy crap, Santa! Thank you. It truly is fate. You have no idea how many times I have come close to buying War in the North, and put it off for inexplicable reasons!
You have already made my SS year, and you tease me with promises of more? Truly, Santa, you are a gentlebeing and scholar!
On a side note, I am going to take full responsibility for @jclast 's current love of Scalzi. Santee this year: you will be Scalzi'd!
OH GOD I LOVE YOU. Seriously though, this is insanely awesome. Like made the day so much better. I have a final due tomorrow, and been going through my paper trying hammer out everything with this and trying not to get stressed with work being work and wham, this arrives. I almost considered making a GIFT GET post for this, but you aren't my santa. I think.
I just got Married! Planned acquisitions:
Me and the new Wife (like first of this month new) have decided to give ourselves a PS4 for our Christmas Gift to each other
I'm was also talked into getting a 3DS XL to replace my ancient three kinds of black 3DS. It comes with a game
Other than that, some form of Pokemans will be coming at me soon after that thing releases.
If you need anything else, Proxy me with the elf, or the other option that my initial message gave you
Dear Santee, you have decided to make this "difficult" but you are anything but hidden around here. Your name is already familiar to me, and the googles reveal things the arcade does not tell. Opening salvo to come. Wonderful photos
EDIT: I just googled myself (it's ok, the Wife was watching the whole time ). None of those people on the first 100 or so pages are me. It is highly unlikely that you will find my FB account. You may find one of my trap accounts though. So there's that. A good starting path is my raptr account right down below.
GOD Damn how did I miss sign ups for the SECOND year running!!!!

Okay, as my Santa mentioned in his pregifting message, I already own some of the humble bundle titles. So, to spread his joy around, here are the two I already own, and didn't accidentally redeem in steam (oops, Arkham Asylum GOTY!) First come, first served. PM me for a code, specifying which game you would like.
FEAR 2
Batman: Arkham City GOTY
I'll PM you the code. Thanks again, preSanta, and happy giftage from him to the lucky quickdraws!
I came home from work this evening and had a nice little proxy elf message telling me to make sure to check my e-mail.

It seems that googling my name produces a bunch of people that are not me. Sorry, Santa, but you won't find me that way. I have a PS3 and my gaming PC, and I use this name for both of them. Might have a PS4, depending on whether other people decide to gift one. Not planning to make any more major purchases for those systems this year.
My shirt size is XL, and any kind of alcohol is nice, although I'm not a huge fan of stouts.
Also I don't have a Christmas avatar handy, so if anyone could help Mr. Metal Slug over here get in the proper spirit, it'd be appreciated.
I have started a pot of apple butter. This is pretty much a tradition in my house, as soon as apples fall under $1 a pound I peel and core 8lbs of 'em and make my years supply. In the morning my house will smell like holidays.

I always just put it on toast. I'm not sure if that's the proper use, but it's delicious.

Apple butter is one of the greatest things ever invented. I usually get mine from the orchard I go apple-picking at.

It's, uh, kind of like jam? You basically cook apples and sugar and spices down until they turn deep brown. It's smooth and delicious. Put it on toast/english muffins/biscuits/whatever. I use apple butter in thumbprint cookies, and on pork loin, and a bunch of other stuff. Best breakfast is a slice of toast topped with apple butter, cheddar, and bacon.
One of these years I'll be able to actually can (no space) instead of just freezer canning and I'll send apple butter to every santee I get. It will be glorious.

Yeah - apple butter is basically a very smooth, very spiced jam. It's also really fantastic on pancakes (and johnnycakes, but no one knows what those are). Ooh - or stirred into oatmeal or grits.

Ok, this sounds awesome. I'm sad I've never had it before, thanks for filling me in guys. I think I'm gonna try it and maybe it'll be an addition to the "Must Have for Christmas" list.
I'm curious... What do you guys (by this I mean anyone) consider your, say, top 3 things that really make it Christmas/Holidays for you? Top 3 "must haves", besides the obvious; trees, family, etc.

1) Christmas music. If it isn't Bing Crosby and Burl Ives singing (and to a lesser extent, the Barenaked Ladies), it isn't Christmas yet.
2) Snow on the ground. At least once.
3) Lighting the first candle of the Advent wreath at Mass. At that point, well, "it has begun." [/MK]

Yeah - apple butter is basically a very smooth, very spiced jam. It's also really fantastic on pancakes (and johnnycakes, but no one knows what those are). Ooh - or stirred into oatmeal or grits.
It's kind of a country Americana thing, I guess.

Ok, this sounds awesome. I'm sad I've never had it before, thanks for filling me in guys. I think I'm gonna try it and maybe it'll be an addition to the "Must Have for Christmas" list.
I'm curious... What do you guys (by this I mean anyone) consider your, say, top 3 things that really make it Christmas/Holidays for you? Top 3 "must haves", besides the obvious; trees, family, etc.
I'm so happy right now

2. My mom making her lovely deviled eggs and Swedish meatballs
3. Agonizing over shopping for my parents, as my mom wants "nothing" and my dad wants "liquor"

1) Christmas music. If it isn't Bing Crosby and Burl Ives singing (and to a lesser extent, the Barenaked Ladies), it isn't Christmas yet.
2) Snow on the ground. At least once.
3) Lighting the first candle of the Advent wreath at Mass. At that point, well, "it has begun." [/MK]
