You know I don't think many people will notice the thread pinned up there.
a) Japan
b) Sure
c) Will fill in later I guess :)

1) USA.
2) Yea.
3) I like to cook food and also ride my bike. My favorite television show is Mad Men. Also, I collect coasters (drinks).
There should be some sort of member requirement to participate. Something like "must have at least 500 or 1000 posts".
Can someone vouch for me?

I'm a firm believer in giving noobs a chance, but only because not a single person has ripped me off on teh intarwebs yet. If it happens this year, fuck you, but I don't preemptively think it will because Bore people are generally good people.

yes
i like stuff
- Don't send anything dangerous that could get you or the recipient in trouble with the law (hazardous or illicit materials (https://ssldocs.esecurecare.net/custom/usps/pics/Hazmat_Poster.gif), e.g. alcohol, drugs). That should be obvious.
luckily i have a license to send alcohol in the mail, so if anyone wants booze :-*
if you get Borys, you have to get him this.

Yeah, can ship internationally
What would be awesome is a movie that for whatever reason you enjoyed, that is generally accepted by most people to be god-awful. The type of movie you see in a store and just think, "Good lord, why would anyone buy that?", except I guess you wouldn't think that 'cause you like it. If it blows, it blows, and I turn it into a drinking game. If it's fuckawesome--I have very fickle taste in music and movies--then it's fuckawesome, and I turn it into a drinking game.

What is the plan when there's an odd number of participants, distantmantra?
Pairing is dumb. It's better just to link everyone in a giant chain.

Yay!
Can we send our present now or do we have to wait?
now I need to work out how lewd a gift i can get through customs
I think I'm going to hold off on sending my person their stuff until early December.
Didn't get the notice to who my SS is yet...
You've got Blu-rays for your Triple, though, right? I mean, you've actually used it for something, right?
Just kidding, I didn't really get you. Or did I...? :-X
Also, I have the perfect present for Distantmantra next year.
It's one piece of Gundam memorabilia that I KNOW FOR A FACT you don't have. It's also Tauntaun approved :-*

MY SS will know who I have in a few days (or minutes by my post). Just a quick question, are the Nintendo Wii motes (and accessories) universal. So say I buy an American Classic Controller, or Motion plus (as examples) will they work in Japan?
I have a question too. Do American Blu Rays work in Japan? No reason. :teehee

Yeah, Sega locking the accessories was not only mean-spirited, it was kind of scarring -- I think they were the only console to do that (or at least the only to activate it) but that same damned question enters my mind whenever I think about buying out-of-region accessories for my mixed-bag gaming environment.MY SS will know who I have in a few days (or minutes by my post).

All of Nintendo's controllers have been region free, at least up until N64.
I know DREAMCAST LIGHT GUNS ARE REGION-LOCKED, but I won't get into that.
Consider my gift sent! :rock
Last year when I was sending to Australia it took me 10 minutes at the post office. This year it took me over half and hour. I had to fill 2 Customs Declaration forms! WTF, I am not sending any biohazard tanks!
It should arrive at its destination in "over one week" the post lady said.
I still need an address

Mobile Suit Gundam: Operation: Troy is en route to my lucky SS target. :burgerking :dizzy :shh
Japanese 360 is also en route. They're like 5 bucks over here.

Holy shit Chrono you sent someone a 360? Sweet lord.
Holy shit Chrono you sent someone a 360? Sweet lord.
Chrono's person already has a 360, so he's kidding around or something is up.
That being said, I may ship Distantmantra a copy of Operation Troy just because he DOESN'T have a 360. My love is mixed with cruelty, because that's how I roll, yo.
I don't think anyone on The Bore other than myself could find anything enjoyable about Operation Troy. :lol
My wife informed me that a flat package from Amazon had arrived. I assume this was from my SS. :-*

What is that ???
Mine arrived just moments ago. I am really stunned:

:bow Borys :bow2
He not only got me one of the few games that I'm VERY interested in for PS3, but he also stole Miss Poland's banner for me! I am sporting it, but it was too cold to change into a bikini.
Thanks, Borys!

You can't even fucking manage to flip an image? Are all Mac users so lazy? Or do you not know how?
:lol
I told you not to open it till Xmas, grrrrrr!
BTW I flipped the image because it is awesome:
(http://i47.tinypic.com/w2ef42.jpg)
Also it's not a banner but winter scarf! I hope there will be snow in Japan this year!
So LBP works? Great! Is it in English :teehee ?It should, but if he wants DLC he'll have to buy it from a European store. Better help him get the Euro PSN cards when they start shipping.
Nice gifts Borys.It is. It's very thoughtful. Super happy, and a little guilty that I didn't do a similarly nice treatment for my targeted gift receiver. :(
So LBP works? Great! Is it in English :teehee ?It boots! It provided the initial voice explanations in English. Is that John Cleese? It's SUPER.
Was the EU voice over also done by Steven Fry?Ah, that's who it is. Lord Melchett. :heartbeat
If they don't I'll fucking ban them
Oh, by the way... :teehee:-*
I love watching things via online tracking, especially when they end up somewhere they shouldn't.

IF that is the case, even if it's - say - $10 or $15 or $20 WHOEVER IT IS , pay it. The contents within are STILL way worth it.
WAYYYYY worth it.
QuoteIf it's me, I'll tell them that it's sperm, and it's priceless!
i doubt they'd swallow that.
Fuck, I missed this since I'm too cool to read Real Talk with any sort of regularity. :-\
Seriously, m3wthr33 is gonna get another present.
Also, anyone want that WWE 360 game? I'll pay for shipping costs.
Buy a real games console, FFS! (Merry Christmas) :lol

From your SS:
"Can you post to the Seekrit Santa thread that Sceneman's present, which is not nearly as elaborate as DCharlie's, went out on 11/20?"
Still havent got mine yet, thats like 17 days now :( I suppose theres 3 weekends in there though, hopefully it arrives soon!
Anxiously anticipating what my SS thinks of the stuff I got them...
Since no one wants the WWE game for the 360, I'm giving it to my brother in law as a joke gift. Once he opens it up, I'll give him his real present (RE5 and EDF 2017). :lol

Well, if you dont want to give it to him as a present, I'll gladly accept it. (You have my info I know)
WOOT my gift arrived!You can thank Play-fucking-Asia.com for the mystery; I ordered it with plenty of time to spare, and the bastards sat on it.
A copy of BRUTAL LEGEND, for the real mans games console, the XBEAST 360! Got so much to play this summer now (Southern Hemisphere :-\)! Im definitely keen to check it out, love me some sandbox action! And I liked Full Throttle.
Thanks so much, mystery Secret Santa :-*
Come forth if you dare...
I was lurking to get another idea of what to send. I think I just got an idea.

I only asked as this place is never devoid gay subtext. I'm totally okay with that as the people are ultra cool. Just didn't want to explain to two 4 year old little girls why the package was vibrating, the flash light had a hole in it, or why some lady/guy was naked. I so dread the day we have to have that talk with them, never mind learning to drive, and well, Female stuff :'(
I opened it and took pictures. My hackintosh isn't liking the usb adapter, so I have to head to windows. Post them shortly.
Hotel Dusk, your SS must hate you
All these gifts and letters are making me feel completely inadequate about what I sent.

You have twins? I can't imagine the energy drain that might be. I am fatigued with just one 4-year-old (though he's behaving better with each passing month).
Woah, this is pretty big.
It's a little known fact that Scrabble is probably my second favorite boardgame (behind Will Federman's Candyland), but I like to think that it was my brilliant wordsmanshippery that indicated that I was a Scrabble fan, and that it's not a subtle hint that my vocabulary could use some help.
Thanks, Santa! :)

I did not hate Goofy Goober.
Yep Goofy, I was ur Secret Santa.
GB2 is pretty good. I hope you love it as much as the first.

(And I'd check the exp. date on the popcorn.)
my gift has arrived at my house, but i'm not home until the 18th, so i'll open it then! EXCITE :D

Yeah, Borys! I'm completely stoked on the presents you sent, and I was feeling LAME for not doing something similarly cool in the one I sent out. I've been wearing the scarf even! But no one has approached me about being Polish...All these gifts and letters are making me feel completely inadequate about what I sent.

I think someone got him Robert Pattinson for Christmas. You might want to open it soon because I don't think there were many air holes.
Did my SS send me a bottle of wine ???
could you say that the 8 bit vintners wine is from me, but there is another gift coming... I just expected the other gift would get there first
I actually got both today, but the wine said nothing. I was just wondering.
Thanks :bow pics incoming
Groo, your pictures aren't loading. :(
They must be blocked at work.
fuck yeah, Last Dragon! :rockYou got the glow? I heard you need the glow.
I shippedy-doo-dahd my Santa package today.
Watch out for Gundam-shaped flesh lights and lactating school girls' undies in your mailbox soon!
A handwritten note from my secret santa! Joe Molotov, thank you very much for being so generous. Merry Christmas! :-*
Awesome gifts. :rock
I wonder if those little smudges mean Joe is left-handed? I only mention it because when you start stalking someone it's those little details that help keep you motivated.
My gift should have arrived by now.... my worst fear is that it got lost in the post somewhere :(
My gift ships today. :hyperspoiler (click to show/hide)$98 just in shipping :-\[close]

Dec 18, 2009 5:52 PM Arrived at FedEx location PARIS FR
Got my shit.
Uncharted 2 shirt, a Wii motion plus, Xbox money, and some avatar gear. All in all, a good haul.
I'm actually not sure who my SS is ! I have a name, but .... no username.
I'll let your SS reveal themselves.
That donkey kong thing is pretty dope. Link where you bought?
Wow, that's a helluva gift... rare as fuck and an absolute fantastic game.
:D Glad you like it. I was really stressing what to get you, as my knowledge of pen-and-paper RPG's is pretty limited, so scouring the net for the perfect D&D gift didn't yield much. You seemed to really like your video RPG's too, so I decided to go that route. Suikoden II was my favorite PSOne game, and I was banking on you not having played it yet. Hope that was the case.
Apologies for the lack of foresight regarding the PSOne memory card, I'll get one sent off to you in short order. Sadly, I may not be able to get it off to you until after Christmas, unless my schedule allows for a stop back at my place the next few days.
And finally, how bad is that smudge? Are we talking a scratch? I was assured by the Amazon reseller that the disk was in near mint/mint condition. Keep me posted if it causes any issues.
Enjoy!
FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
:piss Poland :piss2
I faxed them the description (in polish) that was fucking written on the label they mailed me.
Can't they fucking READ?
Could my SS let me know if they shipped and when? I may need to poke around customs or sometimes my apartmentguy doesnt tell me when he has a package for me.
Also, this:

Now that it's all out there, TEEEPO, I'm so sorry you (probably) haven't gotten your gifts yet. They are coming!!!
Hope you enjoy them - I had no idea what to get you. The mindfucking book is an irresistable conversation piece. Pilnov, the book was great, I finished it in one sitting!
Got my package! Pics later as I am going to a NYE partaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!
My shit still hasn't cleared customs. :'(
Korea :'(
Ahh, those are cocks :rofl:teehee
Anything come in the mail for you, Ch1nchilla?
ch1n, I might be coming out to play tomorrow night. Bring the drinking game along :)
I'm going to resend something :'(
I bought you something else lousy over my ban. :-*
The first present was an absolutely amazing full blown spraypainted gold plastic creche. (And some books.)
Glad they finally got there. That bottle opener is the same one Paul Newman wears in the movie!
WTF!!!!!!!!!! I just got charged a VAT of $57 on top of the original $98 for shipping those shoes to Poland. The declared value of the package is $50 and the tax is more than the value?????????????????
:lol MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM BORYS
