I don't think anyone on The Bore other than myself could find anything enjoyable about Operation Troy.

Gift 1 came in, probably gonna go to the mall before hanging out with the woman on Fri, and pick up gift 2... still have no clue what it will be.

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.

The way you can tell I'm joking is this:
All of Japanbore already has a 360.
Japanese 360s are not actually $5; at one point they were about 80 bucks but not anymore.
While Japanese 360s are cheap-ish, shipping is not, and international shipping even less so. It would likely cost over a hundred bucks to ship something as heavy as a 360.

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've actually considered snagging Operation Troy off Play Asia for $15. One of these days I'll get a 360 and they'll figure out some sort of region hack.

My wife informed me that a flat package from Amazon had arrived. I assume this was from my SS.

I won't be home until tomorrow to open it though. Will post pics then.

chronovore · « **Reply #138 on:** November 21, 2009, 07:35:56 PM »

Mine arrived just moments ago. I am really stunned:

Borys

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?

What crawled up your ass?

I opened it in Preview, where it was backward. So I flipped it, then uploaded it. Or flipped it on Flickr. It looks normal on the flickr page, not sure why it's unflipped here.

I told you not to open it till Xmas, grrrrrr!

BTW I flipped the image because it is awesome:

Also it's not a banner but winter scarf! I hope there will be snow in Japan this year!

Did you? Sorry, I missed that along with the flippage, in my enthusiasm. I even booted the game, and ran my sac around. WOOT!

I'll wear the scarf, see if anyone greets me in Polish! Thanks!

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.

@ the demi pic

Good thing about PS3 games being region free and HD - even the shitty PAL ones can be used by NTSCers

Also I feel bad now I don't have my gift organised

Shipping alone was the indicated spending limit, guess I went a little overboard.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #165 on:** November 30, 2009, 11:35:37 AM »

Shipping cost a lot more than I remember last year. It cost ~$9 each for priority mail to Maryland and California (EB and GAF Secret Santa), standard shipping was only 80 cents less.

tehjaybo · « **Reply #166 on:** November 30, 2009, 12:20:03 PM »

I have all my stuff together, just gonna make a dvd for my recipient.

It's a fairly weighty box, I hope it doesn't cost TOO much to ship out of the US... lol..

M3wThr33 · « **Reply #167 on:** November 30, 2009, 04:41:17 PM »

Fine! But only partially! I still need SOMETHING to open on Xmas.

Ooh! Secret Santa #1!

Festively decorated the box, too!

It's a box inside! Ordered some DVDs...

Santa Gundam! And it says Merry Christmas! (I still know very basic katakana)

Something about death to all infidels.

He cleverely labeled the bag wrapping as Xmas wrapping.

Wish #1 fulfilled! Nerds Ropes are the best candy in the world.

GameStop monies! Excellent!

And some heavy gifts! I'll wait to open those.

As a bonus: Here's a bug stuck in my ceiling light.

ch1nchilla · « **Reply #172 on:** December 01, 2009, 05:35:51 AM »
