    Dear Punxsutawney Phil,

    My, what a roller coaster of a year we have had! The people, the places, the adventures; the crippling, debilitating alcoholism. Truly we have had a year of trials, tribulations and and setting old 70s Buicks on fire. But as the year winds down and I return to more responsible activities (like finishing up my bachelors degree), I take stock of the lessons I've learned over the last year, and the wisdom I've gained from them.

    It amounts to jack shit, even with the Buick burnings. So why don't you play the roll of the birthday skeleton (or in this case festivus skeleton), and I'll tell you what frivolous material wealth I desire.

    Anyways, I've got a list of things I fancy to one degree or another. I, like many people on our humble forums am a geek/gamer of all sorts. There's a litany of gaming awesome I've missed in the last year or so; I don't even own any of the current gen consoles. Still, games are always cool, as are gaming paraphernalia. I've also got a bit of a vice problem (I say "problem"). Things like whisky, beer, cigars, jazz, leather goods etc. Also books and comics. I'm kinda all over the place.

    I have an amazon wishlist embedded in my signature which I use as a catch-all for anything I find on the internet that catches my fancy (thank you, Add to Amazon Wish List button!). I'll do my best to prioritize things I actually want instead of just stuff I throw on there so I won't forget it.

    I'm sorry Tube, it's been a long time since we've talked. See, I don't find myself needing much these days. I've got a decent job a so does the rest of my family, so I get most all the toys I want. But see, the things I don't get are what I'm not expecting. I want to be surprised. I want to get the gift you love, but think nobody else would ever think to give. I want that thing you like that you don't think anybody else even knows about. I guess what I'm saying is I just want something new to me.

    I like all the usual things, sci-fi, Japan(I've studied the language a little even), fantasy, most kinds of video games. I love to read. I don't have any of the latest consoles, but I have all the previous couple gens.

    So I realized I'm dumb and forgot to sign up. Maybe smalls will let me in? we'll see.

    Hey Sky Tube!
    Again, this will not be super different from previous years. I have even copied and pasted a fair bit. My interests haven't changed much over the years.

    I really enjoy admiring the creative ability of other people. I am certain that I would enjoy something that shows off your skills and/or talents.

    I play many different types of games. While 2013 was very heavy on the PC side of things, 2014 has been tabletop heavy.

    My local friends have massive board game collections, so I don't have a huge desire to own a large collection of my own. My very favorite board game is Battlestar Galactica. I have a couple "co-operative against the game" types, like Forbidden Island and Pandemic, and I do enjoy that sort of thing. For expanding my own collection, I mainly try to focus on games that play well with two players since any time I have more than two players, the massive collections of my friends are usually available. If a board game is fairly common, I might have it already or I might play it a lot with my friends. I am certain though that if you have a slightly less common game in mind that you love, your powers of gifting will likely show you that I'll enjoy it too.

    I ended up getting into the X-Wing minis game last year. I will be going through my collection soon so I can update my amazon wishlist pertaining to X-Wing minis. It's a rabbit hole, but one that I've had a lot of fun diving into.

    My Steam and XBL profiles are in my signature. They show a pretty comprehensive set of my videogame interests. I keep my steam wishlist up to date and fairly well curated. It's actually pretty bare right now. This is because I fulfilled most of the items on my wishlist via steam sales over the last year, and I haven't played through anywhere near all of those games yet. I've gotten back into WoW pretty heavily too, which has hurt my ability to burn down my backlog.

    I don't really play many tv-attached console games these days.

    I got re-involved with pokemon quite a bit last year, and the 3DS in general. I'm pretty excited for the pokemon games coming up, although I'll probably be leveling my WoW toons when they come out :P

    I love all sorts of universes like BSG, Star Wars, Firefly, Lord of the Rings, Portal, and the like. I absolutely adore the fallout universe and have played through waaaay too much of the modern games. My very favorite superhero is Iron Man and I am up to date on the IM comics. I got Marvel Unlimited last year and am 100% up to date on all the Marvel NOW titles (on the 6 month delay that MU has).

    I have a pretty extensive book collection (including *almost* every Star Wars EU novel), so while I do love books I get them all the time and they may make redundant gifts.

    I highly enjoy good whiskey. I really like trying different varieties of high quality whiskeys, whether bourbon, scotch, irish, or rye.

    While I've improved, I'm still not very good at wishlists. My amazon wishlist is in my sig, and I'm sure I'll be updating it more over the next week or two. I do ask that if you get something from my amazon wishlist, that you mark it as purchased since I'm using this list for multiple exchanges and some friends and family. Once matches go out I'll keep my eyes off of it so as to not ruin any surprises.

    I will allow it because I was bad and didn't have time for matching today. O_O

    I received my bobcat yesterday but I unfortunately was super busy all day so had no time to properly open it and snap pictures. I'm leaving work in a bit and I'll definitely have time today to crack it open! I'm excited!

    Also my bobcat has been SHIPPED!

    THE MOST ELDRICH OF BOBCATS!

    A sweet Cthulhu mug, a kitten made of tentacles, and a dice that allegedly lights up when a 20 is rolled. I say allegedly because I've rolled this mother fucker at least 100 times and have gotten zero 20s.

    Anyways, thank you very much PayneTrayne for the cursed dice.
