The 2nd annual EVILBORE SECRET SANTA! -- CHECK YOUR PMs! Names are out!

[Ecrofirt]

The gift arrived at my house, so while it's arrived, she doesn't technically have it yet!

[ferrarimanf355]

Sure, I'm in.
a) Boca Raton, FL
b) No
c) Let me get back to you on that...

Let me update my stuff.
a) Coral Springs, FL (my parents house)
b) No
c) Microsoft Points cards.
cloudwalking, I'm PM'ing you with my address now. 

[The Sceneman]

ummmm

[ferrarimanf355]

ummmm

You can change your stuff, right?

[cloudwalking]

Yeah the deadline was midnight on the 11th. If I didn't have your address by then, you're out of luck.

I didn't PM any of the people who were unconfirmed because it was your responsibility to know the deadline, not my responsibility to remind you.

Stated in the first post:

3. The cut-off date is Saturday, November 10th. On the 11th I'll send you your recipient's user name and shipping address.

I made an update on Nov. 7th and changed the thread title:

Registration is closed this Saturday at midnight Zürich time, (which is 6 PM EST).
Secret Santa names and addresses will be PMed out on Sunday afternoon.

[xnikki118x]

damn, that's like a record for fastest secret santa delivery!!

think you can hold out on not opening it until christmas, nikki?!

you already have a gift to put under the tree, think of it that way!

Haha I don't know!

[The Sceneman]

Im buying my gift this weekend. Its going to be fun.

[xnikki118x]

I GOT MY PRESENT!! 

My secret santa was SPENCER and he is AWESOME.

They're these little turtles called "Walkie Bits", one is orange and one is purple, and they're tiny and cute and they have little tin homes. They walk and make noise and they look so cute! I took pictures, but my camera is being FUCKED UP (read: Ecro needs to fix it again  :'().

Also, the directions are completely in Japanese (I think) so I'm gonna find a scanner and maybe someone can translate them for me? Apparently these guys can sing but I can't figure out how. But they are SO COOL.

Thanks, Spencer!!

[cloudwalking]

omfg you got walkie bits?!?! i've wanted one forever :'( turtles are my favourite animals!

that is so awesome!

[xnikki118x]

They are SO CUTE. I think I've figured out how to make them race. It's awesome.

I can't wait until Sunday night or whenever it is I can get Ecro to fix my camera. I'll take lots of pictures!


ETA: When I first took them out of the box, you see the turtle and then the little tin to put it in. On each package are also pictures of oranges and grapes, so I thought there was some kind of candy in the tins lol. I still don't know why there are oranges and grapes on the packages. Maybe just for pretty colors.

[Rman]

Secret Santa gift sent. 

[Takuan]

Wow, thanks for the Walkie Bits tip. Perfect little gift for the lady.

[FlameOfCallandor]

My secret Santa recipient hates me.  :'(

[Synbios459]

My secret Santa recipient hates me.  :'(

why

[FlameOfCallandor]

My secret Santa recipient hates me.  :'(

why

I dont know. Should i get him a crappy gift?

[Synbios459]

What did he get you?

[FlameOfCallandor]

What did he get you?

The secret santa doesnt work that way. I have someone that doesnt have me.

BTW, synbios. How do you read books? Do you use your feet?

lolz, I just open it with my feet and keep my foot inbetween the pages.

Isn't it too far away? I dont think i could read a book if it was at my feet. Do you sit in a special way?

[Synbios459]

Well I do hunch over a little bit, same for when I play handhelds. Hey FOC do you have an IM program I could talk to you with?

[FlameOfCallandor]

I do, but im not on it now. If I give you my aim name will I get harrased or anything? I dont want any weird stuff.

Of course not, I just want to talk about the awesomness of ron paul, among other things.

[zeergoth]

Sorry, been gone awhile. Mainly games (ds/psp/360/wii) or even some good music (classical, rock, anything but country pretty much) would be nice.

Haha I dunno, I didn't make the rules. AFAIK there isn't a set rule for when you're supposed to open them. I just couldn't hold out!



PS. Thanks for the translation, Spencer. I like racing them best I think--and the purple one wins like 80% of the time.

[cloudwalking]

you don't have to wait until christmas to open it -- hell once it's in your hands you can do whatever you like with it. if you want to put it under the tree and wait to to open it up, that's totally cool. if you want to open it right away that's cool too. just remember to thank your santa here in the thread!

oh and post pics everyone, please!

[Rman]

Big props to Zeergorth.  (I hope I spelled it correctly)

Thanks for the book, dude.  It's been a great read.  I'll probably finish it this week.

Happy Holidays to you and your family.

[Mr. Gundam]

Oh, well if people can open their gifts right away, I'll mail it out today. I was going to wait a little closer to Christmas to mail it, since my person lives so close.

[CajoleJuice]

I'm still gonna procrastinate. People shouldn't be opening their shit. 

[Synbios459]

[Synbios459]

wrong thread.

[T234]

[Synbios459]

i cant

[xnikki118x]

PICTURES!!


The package:


The orange one came in the same kind of package, except it was orange, and it had oranges on it where this one has grapes. Yep.





Me, less than an hour ago! See how tiny they are? So cute.





They're like looking at you lol.





My camera takes nice macro shots y/n?





The end!

[xnikki118x]

wow - that's awesome.

My package has been sent!

as i mentioned, it's not going to be very secret as my NAME is on the friggen front. :/

That's okay! Spencer's name was inside my box, on like a receipt of some kind.

When I send mine I'll probably put my name on the outside, in the return address part.

[Ecrofirt]

OK, so I know I said I'd post my Amazon wish list for my secret santa.

If you haven't bought anything for me yet, I edited my previous post to add in a wish list link. Hope it helps.

[cloudwalking]

it's really great that everyone likes their gifts

and nikki, those walkie bits are TOO CUTE! thanks for posting pics!

[xnikki118x]

and nikki, those walkie bits are TOO CUTE! thanks for posting pics!

You're welcome! They need names--what should their names be!?

[Ichirou]

Their names should be Cal and Pis.

[Takuan]

I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT TO GET MY SS.

[The Sceneman]

OMG OMG my gift arrived! Still dont know who its from, someone in Japan so that narrows it down a bit.... Oh man Im so excited, I kinda want to save it until Xmas before I open it but OMG this is so exciting. The sender said they would PM me instructions on what to do with the stuff... so fire away   (I opened the post bag, havent unwrapped anyhitng yet btw) I suppose since Nikki opened hers I can take a peek...

Im going shopping today for my SS, he is a man of discerning taste 

[The Sceneman]

thanks dcharlie Im the envy of my colleagues.

this shit looks awesome, dont know anything about any of these games but they look really cool! Neato little GBA boxes...

Dotstream and Sound Voyager look like totally bitching vectorish music games... kinda like portable Rez Im hoping. Theres a Slitherlink DS game which looks like a a bizzare fusion of Sudoku, Minesweeper and Pipe Dream, and Dialhex which looks simialr to Hexic if Im not mistaken.

Thanks again! Im sooo stoked. 4 freaking wacky jappy handheld puzzle games. Hotttttt

Lunch breaks coming up, which one should I play first!?

[The Sceneman]

Just played Soundvoyager for about 15 minutes OMG what a fantastic game, really found it exciting, a totally fresh idea, a game that you play with pretty much sound alone! Awesome.

Went out to try and find a gift for my SS, couldnt find the movies I wanted to get so may have to order them in... Im going to the big ass mall this weekend so I'll hopefully pick up the gifts there

[tiesto]

My Secret Santa gift turned up!

Holy CARPS!

Tiesto , you sexy sexy sexy man!

I put "something retro" but you couldn't have nailed it any better!

I received the book : On The Edge - the Spectacular Rise and Fall of Commodore - which couldn't be any more perfect given i'm a massive commodore fanboy.

Awesome - absolutely perfect in everyway!

Thanks again! DC

Soooo glad you liked it, I almost was tempted to take a read through the book myself before sending it out

[Takuan]

SS gift sent off, arrives in 5-9 business days.

[T234]

Thank you Rman! Castlevania is currently kickin my ass and taking my name and I love it.

[Rman]

You're welcome.  Have fun with it.

[T234]

It's probably the best PSP game I own. I used to have just a bunch of puzzle games, daxter, and wipeout. Wipeout is great but I've beat it to death (solid golds everywhere). Castlevania hits the spot.

the soundtrack oh god the soundtrack

[MrAngryFace]

Sending mine this Friday

[Bloodwake]

The suspense is killing me, I'm wondering who the hell drew me.

[FlameOfCallandor]

I wonder who got me too.

[Mr. Gundam]

I didn't get either of you!

There, now you've cut the list of possible people down by one!

[T234]

I didn't get either of you either.

[FlameOfCallandor]

lol

[FlameOfCallandor]

Shit wrong thread. I would edit this if I could.

DAMN

after that death cab conversation, I was getting a hard on hoping I was going to get a Barsuk surprise in the mail.

[hyp]

someone should be getting their awesome gift in 2-3 days!    shipped priority.  hope you like it.
