It's that time again - welcome to another year of Secret Santa! Here's da rules:
1. If you have a history of failing to follow through in a timely manner, please don't waste everyone's time; do us all a big favor and refrain from signing up.
2. Signups will run from now 'til November 1st, at which time I'll match y'all up and send everyone their intended recipient's wish list.
3. To make life easier for me, follow the format below when sending me your name, shipping address, wish list, etc. Keep in mind that the more options your Santa has, the better the chances of him (or her) finding a good deal in the time allotted.
4. Value of your gift(s) should be in the $20-30 range - real value and not bloated OMG R@R3!! eBay value.
5. Gifts shall be mailed by December 10th at the latest, but not too early either (this ain't Secret Thanksgiving Pilgrim). If for some reason you won't be able to meet that time frame, please let me know so that alternate plans can be made and nobody ends up with nothing under their tree but moldy old fruitcakes.
6. This is important and bears repeating: don't sign up if you won't follow through. Failure to hold up your end of the bargain will result in shunning, mockery, and a sound beating from Rimmer's holowhip.
7. Most importantly - this is supposed to be fun, dammit!
For extra holiday cheer, one random participant will be selected to receive coal (http://pcengine.co.uk/HTML_Games/Magicoal.htm) in their stocking and another participant will get a copy of the Turbo Legacy Poster (http://www.cafepress.com/pcenginefx.260707543). If you don't want (or already have) either of these goodies, please note accordingly on the form below.
Also, let me know if you don't want to shop for me since it won't exactly be secret.
Sign up sheet format for when you PM me your list -

I sent you like 6 excited, misformatted PMs.
Woo hoo! Please add me. I'll send you a PM later this week, once I've come up with a list. :)
Just to make it clear, you PM me your wish list and contact info.; don't post it in this thread unless you're comfortable with everyone knowing your address and that you want nothing but Wonder Momo and Energy.
Also, please hold off on your wish list submittal unless you're certain that nothing will change over the next month; it's a lot easier for me to keep everything straight if there's only one sent my way. The only thing needed at first is your intention to sign up, which can be done by PM or just by posting in this thread.
Oh, well shit I could've just launched all those misformatted PMs at you then.
MY LIST HAS ZEROIGAR ON IT. THATS IT.
WHOEVER GETS ME, GOOD LUCK FINDING IT FOR 30$. DON'T RUIN MY CHRISTMAS.
I'd like to participate. Thanks!
Chris
I'm signing up! Will send PM later with wishlist. I already have Energy but I'll take 2 wonder momo's.

+1 for me.
Is "wish list" just that? Stuff you want? Anything, or must be turbo related? Can i just say "surprise me" if i dont want to ask for something specific? Sorry for the noob Q's but i wasnt around here for this last year, but love the idea.
Thanks
galam- last year I just provided the link to my wishlist from pcedaisakusen like this http://www.pcedaisakusen.net/2/41/449/show-wishlist.htm
Had a great time last year. Sign me up!
Count me in as well, last year was a blast. I'll send the PM later this week with my wish list :D
Oh, and galam I didn't necessarily put all Turbo/PCE stuff on my list last year but it is encouraged I think.
im in!!
Quote from: galam on 10/02/2012, 02:41 PMIs "wish list" just that? Stuff you want? Anything, or must be turbo related?
Turbo/PCE is preferable since it's what pretty much everyone here knows, but anything videogame related is fine. Just don't fill your list with boring stuff (nobody wants to send socks) or random stuff that few will know what it is or where to get it.
Quote from: galam on 10/02/2012, 02:41 PMCan i just say "surprise me" if i dont want to ask for something specific?
I wouldn't think that'd be a good idea, as you'd most likely end up with something you didn't really need or want. It's fine if you narrow it down a bit - in past years there's been people that asked for stuff like "any Turbografx CD game except ______" or "any PCE RPG except ______".
Quote from: guest on 10/02/2012, 02:04 PMOh, well shit I could've just launched all those misformatted PMs at you then.

lmao, I hope I get you.. Im sending you a burned copy bitch!!! :)
ahem... Im in again this year Necro! PM incoming! :)
Pm sent, pilgrim
This is a really good idea. Nearly all my RL friends don't have a clue about retro games.
ah, this is what happens when i don't log in for 3 days.
i'm totally in, had a blast last year!
So I got a pm back from necro...
To give some background, this is what I sent him for my "wish list"
"something/anything hand made and turbo inspired. Seriously, I don't care if somebody writes "bonk" on a napkin (well a bit more creative than that). Just knowing that a forum member put blood sweat and tears into it will be gift enough for me. I can buy any game I need, something handmade is a bit harder to come by and easy for the gifter."
He suggested I post this to see if anybody wants to volunteer to be my Santa in order to not stress somebody out that may not be very creative. (Which I can totally understand because even my stick figures don't look like stick figures). I don't need a masterpiece or anything, I just want to see what somebody comes up with and it will obviously be a total surprise.
So who has a creative bone in their body?
If nobody wants to, I understand and I'll provide a more traditional wish list.
Im in!!
I am in
I am le in
Sounds fun, count me in plz.
I enjoyed doing this last year, I'm definitely in again. I need to start coming up with a good list of stuffz!
Sounds Cool. I'm in.
I'm in this year too.

There's a dude here who makes these nice edge-lit TG16 signs...
In all seriousness, your request sounds pretty cool, but I just don't know what I would make. I wish I hadn't gotten rid of all of my perler beads...
Chris
Quote from: galam on 10/03/2012, 01:31 PMSo who has a creative bone in their body?
I've gotten a couple PMs from guys willing to give you their creative bone (tee-hee), so you're good to go. I haven't made a selection, though, so anyone else that wants to toss their hat in the ring can send me a PM.
May I join plz?
PS: I could overnight some HuCookies to the lucky recipient. ;)
I sent my list!
What a great idea. Definitely a good way to bring the community together more.
Ok I am in this year :) .. As much as its all about the obey I will add to my list some other things/games that are much wanted but may be easier to find.

It's a small sect that follows the principles of our liege, Leviathan. For various reasons, I am forbidden from presenting nice gifts to people. Instead, I am encouraged to over-promise and under-deliver when it comes to gift-giving. I don't want to upset anyone here, so it's best for me not to participate.

Quote from: TheClash603 on 11/02/2012, 09:11 PMHey... I put Wonder Momo on my list. Wanted to see what all the fuss was about.
Honestly, I'll probably pick up all three on my own at some point, just out of the curiosity factor. :-"

I can't speak for others, but the list I sent to my Santa is my ongoing list of
all games I want; I know there's a lot of 'em that are far too pricey, but I was too lazy to pare it down. :oops:

I hope it wasn't from me, I remember putting a few more expensive softs like Terraforming and Beyond Shadowgate on my wish list but also added a bunch of cheapies like China Warrior and pretty much any other Huey that I don't have.
I'm pretty stoked for the person I got, I hope I am a good Santa!!

Camp California
God Panic
Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu

Shockman/Schbibinman 2
Silent Debuggers
Sinistron/Violent Soldier
Somer Assault

Wonder Momo
......... yep, Wonder Momo. :lol:
I think the 25 dollar limit is getting harder and harder to abide by with our little Turbo. :(
I feel partially responsible for the momo hype
Quote from: PunkCryborg on 11/07/2012, 03:59 PMI feel partially responsible for the momo hype
Wasn't Gotzendiener hyped last year and it didn't make the most requested list this year?
Quote from: hoobs88 on 11/07/2012, 04:59 PMWasn't Gotzendiener hyped last year and it didn't make the most requested list this year?
Maybe because most people got it last year! :)
Quote from: hoobs88 on 11/07/2012, 04:59 PMWasn't Gotzendiener hyped last year and it didn't make the most requested list this year?
Only three people asked for le Gotz last year and nobody asked for one this time. Perhaps y'all already have a copy? You better, dammit!
For comparison's sake, the most requested title last year was Paradious (6 requesters), followed by Aeroblasters, Darkwing Duck, Final Soldier, and Image Fight (5 requesters each).
Necro you are a stats fiend!

I got my gotz and I am thankful
Damn, I forgot to ask for Gotz and Faceball!!! LOL, shucks.
Gotz sucks.... :)
Gotz > Energy
real talk
Energy>Darkwing Duck
well, giving the whole rakuten order thing a second shot...
they canceled my order because my old address didn't match my new one :roll:
made me miss one of the games I was gonna get my SS.
oh well, the replacement should be well within specs of awesomeness!

I'll be out of town most of next week, so y'all will have to wait until I get back if you have a question for your S.S. recipient, else have someone else act as intermediary if it can't wait.

Yeah, I had no problem picking up my SS a couple of games for the $25 limit. And there are going to be a couple of extra goodies that I have laying around added as well. ;D
yeah, admittedly, i pushed it, but not because I had to.
I felt like tossing another game in there ;)
There's a $25 limit? #-o *Reads first post*

it's so cold out here.
Yay, just got finished with my secret santa shopping. Now to wait for the mail to arrive. :)
HA! My SS shopping arrived today! Now the trick is to not get addicted to the games I got my SS (and one of them looks pretty awesome!) before I ship them out.
well, I ended up getting my SS recipient a couple games i already have, so that won't be a problem :D
I guess we just have some similar tastes
I'm feelin generous this season, just saying:)
Oh good. TurboKon bought me Zeroigar.
Thanks! =3
Had my SS games packed up for awhile so I don't wear them out :twisted:

Shopping done. I have a couple ebay auctions ending this weekend. Will do all my shipping together.
Quote from: bartre on 11/21/2012, 10:20 AMoh, so you got me fausette armor and double dragon II?
Nope, he's getting you 47 copies of Wonder Momo.
oh crap there was a limit......I got my SS MC and got a hell of a deal for 3800.00
Quote from: tggodfrey on 11/21/2012, 02:32 PMoh crap there was a limit......I got my SS MC and got a hell of a deal for 3800.00
Didn't you buy that from me? I sold it to raise the funds to buy my SS recipient US Dynastic Hero and Dungeon Explorer II.
Chris
Yeah thanks for the great price.
Well, my shopping is done and packed and ready to ship, so there folks, another one is done.
Just finished shopping for mine tonight... found a pretty awesome deal on ebay and snatched it up. Now to wait for everything to arrive from Japan.
Got mine. Just need to pack it up and get it ready to ship out. Need to find some extra goodies to stuff in the box too. :dance:
Just finished my shopping. Hope my recipient is a happy gamer this Christmas. :)
I'M NOT GIVING MY GUY SHIT!
...just some games that came in today.
This is what somebody here will be receiving for Christmas-

Well, last year everyone wanted to know who their Secret Santas were as soon as they opened their gifts. Who is receiving this and what it actually is are still a mystery.
yeah, I'm tossing a note in with mine, so my recipient knows who I is.

Return address on box.
That looks sweet, B.T.! =D>
I didn't put a note or anything in. Was I supposed to?
Quote from: galam on 11/28/2012, 07:51 AMI didn't put a note or anything in. Was I supposed to?
Nah - if anyone can't figure out their Santa's identity, they can ask here. They only need to be gift wrapped (or a note on the shipping box saying to not open before x-mas) so the recipient doesn't confuse it with some other package and accidentally open it early.
I think my return address will totally give it away for my recipient this year (Kind of like last year's too! ;) ) but I'm going to still try to leave a slight hint and gift wrap mine all up.
NO OPEN TILL XMAS!!
I hope we get lots of pics and videos of the big Xmas openings this year.
Awesomesause! The bar has been raised, sir.
Gift has been shipped, I can now breathe a sigh of relief. I love Secret Santa but I always seem to shop early and ship late. I'm on the ball this year. :)
My items came in today. I'll get them out to my lucky recipient this week. MAX OBEY IS UPON YOU! :-$
The presents for my recipient haven't arrived yet... :(
In the immortal words of my wife, "You bought a game for someone on that forum, but you haven't started shopping for your family yet?" <insert my wife rolling eyes here>
:lol:
Just finished wrapping up mine. I still need to add some goodies in the box and ship, but it will be out this week. I hope the shape of the gift doesn't give it away. :)

A package arrived for me today and I couldn't remember ordering anything so I was pretty sure that it was an early Secret Santa gift. :dance:
I'm waiting until Christmas to open it but I figured out who it was from. Thank you Finerion!
I'm still waiting for my recipient's items from Japan... what did they do, strap it to a dead sea turtle?

That eliminates you as my Secret Santa. 8) None of my stuff would come from Japan.

valis 1 and IV are worth getting, as well as Super raiden and Ai Cho Aniki.

:lol:
Just finished wrapping up mine. I still need to add some goodies in the box and ship, but it will be out this week. I hope the shape of the gift doesn't give it away. :)

My Secret Santa is one of the best! Bernie's my Santa! I got the package a couple of days ago, and my fingers are itching terribly to open it, but I'm restraining them mightily... for now, anyway... :P

Yeah when your package says "bernie" on the return address it's no surprise who it is
So who has recieved their gifts? I'm wondering if mine has arrived, sent a couple weeks ago.
I recommend getting tracking for these packages. I sent something to Brazil last year for a secret Santa and I couldn't get tracking for it and it arrived late. I felt terrible but it finally showed up mid January.

Yeah, did pay for tracking, but lost the ticket.
I'm not very artistic and anything I would have done to make my package look festive or fun would have made it obvious who I am, so I just sent the goods... lol
Tracking isn't available to me on shipments to the USA. Well it is, but the $$$ Canada Post asks for is retarded. Eff them.

Pretty much the same here...hell I have others in the house wrap presents we do here as it is LOL
It's the effort that counts fellas. The fun part is giving!
@Necro - I just realised I sent a PM to myself when I meant to send it to you. Please exclude me from the poster draw. I have already purchase the TG-16 legacy poster. Thanks!
I have been ill for a few weeks and haven't had the energy to send out my gifts yet. All that needs to be done is wrapping and shipment. At this point Priority mail will be key.
Mine just went out priority mail today.
Just got mine today!
Mine's hopefully going out Monday or Tuesday. :)

Feels heavy, I hope my secret santa didn't go overboard. Although my wish list did include some value priced PCE games. :-k
Mine arrived today and is sitting under the tree until Christmas. I'll be sending mine out in the next day or two!
To my person, sorry I didn't do anything fancy with the wrapping and merry christmas:)

It's the thought that counts turbokon. Not all of us are Van Gogh.
To my SS. I shipped out your gift last week. Instead of standard ground I sent it air mail. That
should get it through Customs faster, but Canada Post is notorious for charging more money for different delivery standards even though the delivery will be the same. Basically, with Canada Post, you have two options. Slow, or tomorrow. Either way, it cost me an extra $4 bucks to send it.
got a fat stack of games!! man thanks for the hook up. who lives in Robot hell? Necro? i may not wait till Christmas.
Damnnnnnnnn... Mine just showed up. Feels like there's a brick in it! Damn mailbox nearly fell off the house! What the hell is inside? Going crazy now...
Got my package today. Sitting under the Tree, Waiting for Christmas. (BEST SANTA EVAR!)
Received my package today! Thanks Santa!

Mine still hasn't arrived but there's still a couple of delivery days left. :)
Got my present the other day. Can't wait to open it up!
hmm, there's a box on my porch that says "PCEFX SS"
i wonder if I should bring it inside from all the snow...
thing is, I can't remember who Mr. Alamio is, and I was always told to not trust strangers...
Some very generous santa from the chilly north reaches of the country sent a pile of goodies that arrived today. :) :D :)

I received my package which came with awesome Bonk wrapping!
Now I feel bad my wrapping wasn't Bonk themed, lol. Looking forward to opening mine in just a few days!
Btw- who doesn't put a return shipping address? That is dangerous... and sneaky!
Received mine today! Thanks, Santa!
Chris
Got my present pretty early...it's still wrapped but probably won't stay that way long
C'mon Duo R, it's only 3 more days! You can resist until xmas morning!!!
:D
2 more days, actually.
Chris
So I come home today to a mysterious tube.
a tube from the cafepress store, so I have no idea what it is.
lo and behold, turbob legacy poster!
sweet! now i just have to figure out where to put it :lol:
im ready to open my shit!!!
i cheated, mine is open. Today is my birthday so tough shit.
My Santa was good to me.
Just for that you are now required to take pics. :P
Of all the presents under the tree, the one calling out to me the most is that Secret Santa one.
My secret Santa gift is kind of the only one I give a shit about, actually. Any time there is new Turbob in the house, it is a joyous occasion.
Chris
I almost opened my Secret Satan on accident because we did gifts from my sister early (shes out of town now).
I can tell it is only one game, so it clearly is Zeroigar.
I hope he isnt your secret Satan.... If so dont open the gift!
Quote from: Duo_R on 12/24/2012, 05:56 AMI hope he isnt your secret Satan.... If so dont open the gift!
But Secret Satan would have sent mint, sealed copies of Magical Chase, Bonk 3, Beyond Shadow Gate, Might and Magic, Dungeon Explorer II, etc. etc. !!!
No obeymas for me this year. :cry:
Shipping delays getting to the island? :(
Probably, but that's fine... it's always the thought that counts anyway. :)
Hopefully I might do this Secret Santa thing next year. :)

The two cartridges at the top were on my Secret Santa list. The remaining 8 were bonuses. Hydlide I played as a kid. I'm not looking forward to reliving that nightmare. ](*,) Knight Rider was damaged in shipping, but it's just the outer case. Nothing a little glue won't fix. :) I've heard great things about XEXYZ too. :dance:
P.S. - Yes, that is parkay flooring. :D

FUCK YEAH PLAY IT.
You can beat it before Xmas Ends. GO GO GO.
SAVE THE FAERIES.
Thanks a lot, Bernie!
Splash Lake AND Monster Lair!
I had never played either before, but now, after playing the first 50 levels of Splash Lake, I have to say that it is a really enjoyable game, even if a couple of the levels were a little frustrating. I'm looking forward to trying out Monster Lair in the near future, but no more obey today, it's family time.
My santa was awesome! Some new PCE to obey to: Crest of Wolf, (Super) Raiden, and the aptly named Götzendiener.

Woot! Thanks elabit! :D

and you're welcome! glad you liked it.
anywho, no pics :( but my santa got me something I'd never get myself - BONK'S REVENGE. awesome
additionally CANDY and GARBAGE PAIL KIDS.
and a rather interesting card :lol:
My package arrived late last week, and it KILLED me to put it under the tree and wait until Christmas morning, but I have to say that it was cool doing so, because the anticipation reminded me of the Christmases of my childhood. I got up this morning and tried to wait as long as I could to open it up (I was trying to wait until my wife got up, but she didn't) but a man can only kill so much time by doing chores, so it was time. I had not one, but two presents from fellow PCEFXers arrive this week, and they both went under the tree for xmas morning opening.
First, Secret Santa:
I know who my SS is, but I'll leave him anonymous unless he wants to out himself.
(https://web.archive.org/web/20190511080835im_/http://www.jibbajaba.com/images/secretsanta2012/SS1.JPG)
The box. Damn that's a lot of stamps! And check out the Christmas-themed packing tape! And are those Sparky stickers? I used them in my secret santa-ing this year, as well.
(https://web.archive.org/web/20190511080833im_/http://www.jibbajaba.com/images/secretsanta2012/SS2.JPG)
3 presents, all wrapped! Let's assume that the two smaller items are turbobs, but what about the bigger present? There could be anything in there! I have my theories, but let's see what happens...
(https://web.archive.org/web/20190511080833im_/http://www.jibbajaba.com/images/secretsanta2012/SS3.JPG)
Sweet, interestingly sweet, and super sweet! Knight Rider Special, still sealed! (Not for long). I know the game gets panned by most everybody, but I was addicted to that show when I was a kid, so I think the game is cool just for nostalgic reasons. Gomola Speed is not a game with which I am familiar, so that will be interesting to check out. The Brothers Duomazov hated it, but theirs seems to be the minority opinion, and I love action puzzle games. My theory about the big box was wrong, but in a good way. The list I submitted may have been a "want" list, but controller extension cords were more of a "need" item, as every time my buddy comes over for some turbo time, we practically have to sit in each others laps. I actually forgot that I asked for these, which makes them even cooler. Definitely an awesome gift! Thanks very much, Mr. Secret Santa!
I also received a little bit of packagey goodness from Opie, but since it was so close to Christmas, I decided to torture myself and put in under the tree next to my SS package.

(https://web.archive.org/web/20190511080835im_/http://www.jibbajaba.com/images/secretsanta2012/myst_song2.JPG)
I've already decided to go out on a high note by never entering a raffle again. (I'll still raffle stuff off, though). You can't tell in the picture, but the jewel case didn't survive the trip, which I took as an excellent excuse to put the game into a new jewel case with a white tray. I'll definitely be digging into this game sometime in the next few days. Thanks again to both Opie and The Old Rover for this one!
Chris
@jibba - The final two images are broken and the suspense is killing me!
Chris Bucci loves Gamola Speed, so if it is good enough for him then it was good enough for my recipient. And there isn't anyone on this forum that doesn't like opening brand new sealed Turbob. It's not a common occurrence and I sent it assuming it would be opened and enjoyed. Merry Christmas, Chris. :)

Got Algunos from my Secret Santa. Thanks again Finerion!
Grats to everyone! Last year was awesome, was incredibly glad to see this tradition still going!
:D
got my secrets of the santler opened and played!!
I knew once I opened the package and could smell the smouldered flames of Colorado's wild fires that his package came from non other than Xelement!! Thank you so much! What a fun Xmas score!!! :D
/img20121225073033.jpg
I'm going to use the half time drill to make some modifications on my jamma/MVS cabinet this week!! Thanks again!!
/img20121225074502.jpg
Necro, thanks again for organizing a successful Secret Santa this year. Looks like everybody made out great.
I guess now, we need to call out anybody that DIDN'T come through!! Hope there weren't many (or any) that sent something out and got nothing in return. We'll need to burn those members in effegy! :twisted:
Anyway, instead of a list of games, I had asked that my santa send me something Turbo related and hand made.
This is what arrived. I'm actually stoked about these because I can use them as bookends for a shelf of games that isn't quite full yet.
Some wooden model hueys and manuals.
Thanks SWIM!!

Happy OBEYmas, all! I hope y'all are happy with your goodies, but let me know if you're haven't gotten yours yet.
Santa-Chany sent me copies of Legendary Axe II and Sinistron, so score for me! Thanks, Chany! :dance:
Yeah galam they are meant to be just that, if you noticed yet the black front fits the exact size of a cd/hu card case and the white backs are the same size as a hu-card. So you can stack up against them for those shelfs that are just not quite full. Also I hope those graphics stay on, I was having a hard time finding a product to seal them. :-k
mod podge is great for sealing images to things like wood
According to the USPS, my loot is being held captive at the local post office. I am sending my Emancipator(tm) to rescue it.
Thank you very much NecroPhile for organising the Secret Santa. I already have ideas for next year. :)

that sounds like an anal probe that belongs in the ratchet and clank universe...
EDIT:
I should make it known, since my SS asked, this is where my avatar comes from:

The two cartridges at the top were on my Secret Santa list. The remaining 8 were bonuses. Hydlide I played as a kid. I'm not looking forward to reliving that nightmare. ](*,) Knight Rider was damaged in shipping, but it's just the outer case. Nothing a little glue won't fix. :) I've heard great things about XEXYZ too. :dance:
Sorry about Knight Rider. The box I had for the 2 Secret Santa games had the extra space, and those 8 extra games were duplicates that I had picked up a while back in a NES lot, and they weren't doing anything for me. (That why a couple of them still need to be cleaned up a bit, because I ran out of time. :oops: ) I had seen an earlier post of yours that said that you only had about 15 games, so I thought, "What the heck. Send 'em to FiftyQuid. He may like 'em." I actually haven't played all of them yet, and for the ones that I have played, it has been a while, but I do remember really enjoying Solar Jetman for sure, and I hope that you'll enjoy it as well. Of course RC Pro Am and Mike Tyson's Punchout should be enjoyed by you, since they're both great games. Anyway, Merry Christmas again!
FiftyQuid's new NES games....
ASIDE: Has anyone here beaten Top Gun NES? I don't think I have. I may have, but it was only once or twice, if I did. That game was challenging for me.

No worries about the Knight Rider. You can't control the Post Office and how they handle packages. Besides, I fixed it up with some Gorilla glue, and lacquer thinner. Looks great now (pic forthcoming). All 10 NES games are greatly appreciated! My NES library has grown quite a bit. I'll take a pic and post here as well. :)
@esteban - The Top Gun I received is actually Top Gun: The Second Mission. I didn't even know they made a sequel!
How dare you call Hydlide a nightmare.
That game is awesome.
Got mine, hooray! :D

Thank you mah SS! :D
EDIT: put the pics on another server since some people can't see the first one...
Thanks Secret Santa!

I have to disagree, but maybe I'm still bitter about wasting $5 to rent it for the entire weekend and not having anything to play. :lol:
Here's the 'fixed' copy of Knight Rider. I think it came out pretty nice considering.
/img20121227132620.jpg
The bonus? It even plays!
/img20121227132809.jpg
Here's my entire NES collection. I'm up to 25 games. That's more than I ever had as a kid.
/img20121227133011.jpg
Oh, and here's a little Boxing Day gift to myself. For $99, I couldn't pass it up. Even though the failure rate is something like 80%. Nothing a 3 year extended warranty from Best Buy (for $30) won't fix. 8)

Fifty - IS that the 3D PS3 display?
Not bad at all for the PS TV. I just wish they'd give me a 48" version for $400 - 4x the area for 4x the price and they can keep the 3 extra remotes, tuners, etc.
Quote from: Duo_R on 12/27/2012, 03:22 PMFifty - IS that the 3D PS3 display?
Yeah. Best Buy and Future Shop were selling them off for $99. My guess is they are manufactured discontinued. Heck, I even picked up a spare set of 3D glasses for $19.

how the hell is Götzendiener aptly named?
and you're welcome! glad you liked it.
anywho, no pics :( but my santa got me something I'd never get myself - BONK'S REVENGE. awesome
additionally CANDY and GARBAGE PAIL KIDS.
and a rather interesting card :lol:
Götzen - Deiner -> in götze change the t in German to the English d. the n is plural - god(e)s, Deity, or idol. Dein is your. here however in the compound it means more like worshiper. so think of the game title as Idol worshiper - However the word is almost always used in the negative connotation, as in false idol worship i.e idolater. In the game you are taken by a cult of idolaters from which you must escape.
I almost bought that deal, I kept thinking about it but eventually passed. I already have a 3d TV so decided I didn't need it (and it is 46"). Curious how the TV set is though.

No pics yet cause I'm lazy at the moment, but my secret santa came through and then some. I got a boxed/complete Alien Crush, Galaga '90 (with original case) and Cosmic Fantasy 3! Thanks Santa!!!!!!!!!
My Secret Santa left very few clues, so guessing won't be easy. I will have to think it over while I play my TWO new games! Ace!! Thanks Santa!

I had to see what all the hype was about.
Alright, I am much later than most here in posting my loot, but I was out of town for a while but happily came back to a wonderful package!

I wasn't sure what the big package was, but my curiosity was there for only a bit because I ripped right into it!

Turbo Goodness in the form of Pomping World, plus Efera & Jiliora. And an Awesome Turbo Grafx 16 plexi sign!!!
Straightened it up a bit since there was some shifting during transit and it looks awesome!!!

I also got a cool note from them explaining about the whole thing, and I'm stoked to get it set up in my game room:

I know only a handful of these were purchased by forum member though I'm not sure who exactly got one.
All I do know for sure is that I got an awesome Secret Santa this year, so thank you Santa!!
"Before that guy was run out of the forums." Priceless.

So are we allowed to say who our person is or do we still have to keep it a secret. To my person I'm sorry I forgot one of your item. It will go out next week.

I believe NecroPhile is leaving that up to each individual. The "secret" part of the Secret Santa doesn't need to be kept secret.
I think most of us know who the secret santas were :)

Not true. Arkhan doesn't know I was his. Oops... ](*,)
I don't know who my SS was, either this past time or the time before. :P
I knew who it was last year, but not this year. Thanks for the game though!
If ya can't figure out who your Santa was, just ask here. Where's the fun in staying in the dark?

I wasn't sure your package would get to you. I've been told that sending something through U.S. Customs with "Arkham The Destroyer" as the recipient is sometimes frowned upon. Who knew?

People on C64 forums called my Arkham alot, mostly because they're retarded and can't read.
