It's that time again - welcome to another year of Secret Santa! The rules:
1. Don't sign up if you can't/won't follow through.
2. Signups are open now until the first of November, at which time everyone'll be matched up and wish lists will get sent to their Santas.
3. To make life easier for me, please follow the format below when sending me your info. 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 should be mailed by December 10th at the latest, but it's not Secret Thanksgiving Gobbler so not too early either. If for some reason you won't be able to meet that time frame, please let me know as early as you can so that alternate plans can be made and nobody ends up with nothing under their tree but new socks and tears of regret.
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 severe beatings and/or flaming poo bags on your front porch.
7. Most importantly - have fun!
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 -
Forum Alias:
Last Year's Recipient (if applicable):
Shipping Name/Address:
Condition (i.e. - complete, boxed, mint, loose, etc.):
Wish List:
Entered in the poster drawing? (yes/no):
Entered in the game drawing? (yes/no):
This space reserved for list of participants. Please send me a PM if your name isn't listed and it should be.
I don't need your wish list to sign up, by the way. That can wait until the end of the month, so y'all got plenty of time to think it over.

You can if you're ready, but there's no need to send your list right away. It can wait 'til the end of the month.
Count me in!
In.
Wow, is it that time already!? Woo hoo! Sign me up!
AW YEAH.
i'm in, as usual; who's getting 10 copies of Blodia?
I'm in. Bernie killed it last year.
Whoever gets me, be prepared for a shitload of PCFX games that you can't even pronounce.
I'm in....and I need the shitload of PCFX games lol
Man, I still need to play through Cosmic Fantasy 3 I got last year for Secret Santa.

People always ask for games outside of that range regardless of where you can get it. Just saying.
Just a recommendation for some of you guys, I just have all the games I want in my PCEDaisakusen wishlist and post a link to that so whoever has me has 149 games to choose from. Hopefully they can find something in their price range and I get a nice surprise :D

I'm guilty of this, though my list is lengthy with lots of cheapies amongst the pricey titles. I'm just too lazy to trim down my complete wish list. :oops:
M.G. makes a good point: please don't fill your list with titles that can only be found for cheap if you wait months for an honest auction. You never know when Santa will get lucky, but give the guy something to fall back on.
Bump!
Also: note that SuperPlay has offered to send out some extra holiday cheer to four lucky Santas. He asks nothing in return, but he'd take a Le TurboDoodle (or the like) to show off in his game room if any of you creative types can oblige.

Would he be interested in 3D art or only 2D?
Bump! Only about a week left and there's half as many Santas as we had last year; must've been a rough year at the North Pole.
The schedule for this seems to be tighter this year. I remember having purchased my SS gift for last year in October. Is this inaccurate? My memory is one year older now.
The reason I bring it up is because I was fearful of my gift not reaching its recipient in time. Canada Post is notoriously shitty.
@Necro - Postal Rates have gone up exponentially in Canada (and in the USA). I don't know if this is possible, and it's only a suggestion so tell me to piss off if you want, but maybe it would be a good idea to pair participants up based on country?

Already planned on, though unless some more Canucks join in it ain't gonna be much of a
Secret Santa.
Sign me up! PM incoming.
Note: Just noticed there is 6 less shipping days between Thanxs Giving and Xmas this year.
Almost time to get a shoppin!
I'm in as usual. I will send list soon. :)
Bumples for a last chance to join in the fun and a reminder to those signed up that I need your lists/info. soon.
Oh shit! I will get the list off when I get back home tonight from work.
Don't miss out on the fun! Join NOW! :mrgreen:
Are we going to get matched up soon?
As a Canadian I need a lot more time to get a deal for my giftee.
Gah! I'll try to get my list to you tonight! Sorry for the delay...
Guys submit your lists so we can get going. My guy hasn't submitted a list yet so I can't start. However, my back up plan is to send that lucky guy Energy and Wonder Momo so I strongly suggest sending in your lists.

Ditto this! Get your lists to NecroPhile ASAP.
(Btw, i want momo!)
Everyone (except for a couple slow pokes gumming up the works) has been sent their own lists for approval and their recipients wish lists and contact info. Please respond asap, especially you slow Santas.
Sorry I was one of the slow santas. Anywho,I just pm'ed my list.
Sorry for holding things up. List sent!
All naughty and nice lists have now been sent to their respective Santas. Please let me know if you didn't get 'em or if something seems amiss.
At five requests each, the most requested titles were Out Run and Jackie Chan; next most popular were Gradius, Splatterhouse, and Valis 3 at four requests each. For the PC-FX, it had a seven way tie (only two requests each) between Ah! My Goddess!, Chip Chan Kick, Dragon Knight 4, First Kiss Monogatari, Last Imperial Prince, Megami Paradise 2, and Miraculum.
I hope you saint dicks get lots of good loot... I will be in next year.. Hugs
Gifts purchased. Good god my santa has expensive taste, heh.
Gifts purchased and time to wrap and ship!
Good thing my recipient lives in my same state!
Shipping the goods this week!
waiting on goodies from the motherland to arrive :D

Same here, the waiting kills!
I'm ready to ship!
Shipping today! Hope the receiver enjoys the Santa treats!!
I should get the goods this week and priority out as soon as It gets here!
My goods are on their way from the Land of the Rising Ball of Plasma. I haven't ever bought a game for this particular system so to at least see one in person will be cool. Then it's off to one lucky forum member.
Box was shipped today - should be at its destination by Monday.
Tracking says my goods landed in the US on Monday, so hopefully I'll have 'em by the end of the week. [-o<
Is it too late to get in?
Never mind... I see you guys are already shipping
Goods arrived from Japan today. All I need to do is wait for the companion piece to arrive and it'll be off to one lucky member.
I'm a fucking retard and accidentally opened my present early. I order stuff all the time so I just frantically rip boxes open like a 5 year old when I see packages when I get in from work. I was confused at first. "I Didn't order this! Where did it come fro... oh... whoops... >_>"
So, thank you to the person who got me CAN CAN BOOBY DX SUPER GOOD VERSION. It's a fun time. Even though I can barely figure out what they are talking about.
I might get the chiptunes off it onto PC to share. The music is great.
My presents to humanoid person will be going out in the next day or two.

Maybe it should be a rule in the future that Santas WRAP their gifts they send out. I know I also open just about every box that comes in the mail, but would probably stop ripping through them if I noticed some gift wrap over the items inside. Perhaps a "Don't OBEY until XMAS" note inside the box?
I shipped my gift off today :)
Should arrive quickly.
Woohoo my last item arrived, ready to ship (after I play errrr test everything)
Well, to be fair here, they DID wrap it, in newspaper labeled "Fancy Gift Wrap".
That made me laugh pretty hard. But, in my furious rage to get the box open and see what it was, I basically just ripped that stuff open like a fat kid trying to get at a twinkie.
:)
I use the comics from the Sunday paper as wrapping paper. Recycling, bitches!

parcel went out yesterday. haven't received mine yet but im on the look out !
Got my present in the mail the other day and just shipped my gift yesterday. Can't wait until X-mas! :)
parcel get! gonna try to obey near xmas
I sent my out my SS package today and it should arrive at it's destination before the end of the week. :D
Sending mine out tomorrow via Priority. Sparky stickers will ensure Secret Santa status.
Received a strange package on Saturday. It appears to be themed perhaps? and has a Secret Santa return addy.
I of course opened it to find a 3 month subscription to SNES collectors and gouger Magazine.
Mine goes out tomorrow but it's shipping fast. The elves took longer this year making Turbo magic come to life.
Mine went out like Friday? Or maybe it was yesterday. I don't remember.
BUT I SHIPPED FASTLIKE CAUSE I AINT NO BITCH.
Mine's going out soon. :)
Box went out today!
Presents are off!
I sent mine out last week. I still haven't received mine in the mail yet.
Both me and my giftee have received their gifts :)

I got a very mysterious/secretive package in the mail today.. However, the sender of this mystery package isn't listed here... Is this the most recent list?
Sent mine on Monday. Have not received yet.
/20131219_104153.jpg
the "let it snow all over my face" was probably the biggest give away for who it's from :lol:
Anybody still waiting?
Have all been shipped and received?
I'm still waiting on mine.
A lot of us just shipped out in the nick of time. I'm sure they will get there.
got mine today. *TEMPTATION*
I shipped mine out today so it should arrive *just* in time for Christmas.
I have received mine and, while I haven't opened the presents (they're sitting under the tree), we have made quick work of the edible treats included. I'll give proper thanks to my SS once I open the presents, though I know who mine is. :D
I got mine today....ugh the temptation!
I got mine and am mightily tempted to open 'er up (or at least take a peek).

A very secret package arrived from a very Secretive Santa today!! WOO!!
Going to open it live on video and upload it Xmas night!! Should be awesome!!
Mine finally arrived as well yesterday.
Got mine today!
Still waiting for mine
Good morning everyone! Hope you are all having a happy holiday. I'm still not sure who my Secret Santa is but they were very generous with the gifts. Behold!
SecretSanta2013.jpg
Thank you Santa, whoever you are!
Don't be afraid to play SFII with a 2-button pad. It's kinda fun to switch between attack types. Great port that one. :)
DUDE!! so awesome, I really needed some good puzzle games! Great pics from secret santa!
Thanks dude and big thanks to NecroPhile for once again organizing this =D>

Merry Christmas PCEFX!
I don't know who mine was either, but DEAD MOON FOR PCE is a must have.
Much appreciated...whoever you are!
Also, I was the lucky winner of necro's annual COAL purge!
(I can see him rolling his eyes..."great, HE won". Either way, thanks man. I owe you one.)
Merry Christmas all!
Okay this was a very amazing and emotional Christmas this year. Sorry for the blurry pics.
Thanks, NecroPhile, for the games! Ashe was thrilled with the Dragon Knight games LOL.
A very good friend was unimaginably generous this year. Opening a boxed Turbo Duo wasn't something I ever thought I would do within my lifetime (no thanks to eBay). It brought me to tears. You're a silly man (you know who you are). And I love you for it. Thank you.

Just thought I'd mention this is really a great tradition that you guys developed here (along with raffles) so kudos! I'm not doing as well as I thought I'd be at this point [financially] in life, otherwise I would've joined in something like this, but yeah, it's very cool to see sort of thing. :) Bravo!
the generosity of some people on this forum is insane. thats insane mathius, congrats!

Wish I had been taking video of the unwrapping. Ashe and myself were both going, "What did he do???" as we were tearing off the paper.
HUGE THANKS go out to Duo_R for his very generous Secret Santa gifts. I was floored when I opened the presents this morning. I've been playing them quite a bit today. :) And there's not much left of the sweets (though I started early on them)!
Thanks again!
CF2Gift.jpg
WOW, a copy of "Cosmic Fantasy 2" still preserved in pristine, unopened condition ?? Huh...
Nah, it was opened, but it was done in such a way that I thought it was unopened when I unwrapped it. I was going to rip it open and obey anyway, so I'm kind of glad it had already been done.
Quote from: NightWolve on 12/25/2013, 04:21 PMWOW, a copy of "Cosmic Fantasy 2" still preserved in pristine, unopened condition ?? Huh...
Sealed copies of CF2 and Exile are actually very common, but either way it would have been a great secret santa gift on its own.
I got a 1943 kai and a white PCE controller thanks secret santo !

Yeah, it's a great gift. I bought a used copy for $29 I think ages ago. Wasn't happy about the manual being a bit roughed up though. I remember enjoying the game well enough. Great to have finally gotten a full, traditional RPG on CD.
I cracked open a sealed Cosmic Fantasy II a few years back when they were more common on eBay. Always an enjoyable experience to open a new Turbo game in this day and age.

Thanks, to whoever sent me it! Someone from New Jizzle.
I wish I knew how to make videos, so I could show people the badass tunes in the game.
beamer: whoa wait how did you do that!
how did I do what? Can Can Bunny?
I just took her clothes off and had at her. Duh. How else.
Picture Forthcoming
My Santa was awesome again this year:
Star Padior
Skweek
Forgoten Worlds
Hani
Out Run
Power Drift
Kinda mad my PCE Duo isn't working, I can't play all these awesome HuCARDs. Looks like I need a new power cord, hopefully nothing fried in the unit. :(
Dude My SS got me Pia Carrot...and a burned translated copy. That alone was cool. Then I went to the mailbox today and I think I got a PC Engine Soundtrack??? Oh man....and then a letter that says that something was late and to expect another package. This was an epic year!!!! Thank you!!!
The Soundtrack looks like it is this one:
PC Engine / 1994 Hudson CD-ROM2 Soundtrack Detail

So Awesome!!!
Hopefully the late package was some jergens. Cause,
fap fap fap!
Merry Christmas, OBEYers! I hope y'all like your goodies and nobody got the shaft.
Santa was quite generous and sent me Travel Epuru, Galaxy Fraulein Yuna 2, Dragon Knight II, Efera & Jiliora, Energy, and some candy noms. Thanks, xelement! :dance:
Thanks again NecroPhile for facilitating such an awesome annual experience. +1million TurboKarma to you!
However, I'm wondering if perhaps this year there was a "Bank error in my favor; collect two Secret Santa recipients?" I went out to my mailbox today and found this, from SuperPlay:
(https://risemedia.org/risemedia/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/011.jpg)
Thanks so much SuperPlay! I'm listening to it now. This is most excellent.
I am a befuddled, but very happy Obeyer right now. :D

Fun Fact!!
in the late 1800's
St. Nicolas Clause (santa) was really a rich middle eastern man that smoked opium out of a pipe and wielded a scimitar and ONE frozen winter he gave to all the children in the village , food, trinkets and many articles of winter clothing.

Wow, so much for the "Value of your gift(s) should be in the $20-30 range - real value and not bloated OMG R@R3!! eBay value."
This is the main reason why I excused myself this year (and possibly permanently in the future). I didn't want to feel BAD again that I actually stuck to the rules, as clearly most of you are getting way more than amount the rules state even at real value.
In turn, the person receiving could potentially also feel bad since they witness others who scored a "big spender" as their secret santa.
Apologies for the thread-crap and if I came off like a Scrooge. I am happy for all of you, it's just that this has become a really sore subject for me.
Keep in mind that some members are getting stuff in Japan or as part of lots for comparatively cheap, but everyone should be grateful for what they received and not envious of others anyway. The only reason to feel bad is if you sent something that wasn't even close to the price range (have a Keith!) or something they won't want at all.
MG, the Duo I received was not a Secret Santa. I just placed it in this thread as it counted as a Christmas gift. Sorry for any confusion.
I think it has a little to do with who you are paired up with too. For instance, I went a bit over the limit because of who I got. I don't know who mine was, but I am very grateful for what I got.
Also, last year my recipient asked for a couple games I happened to have dupes of.
/9kxfszQ.jpg
Here is my gift :mrgreen: I have Graduis 1 for the PCE (I won't waste my time with the crappy NES version) so now I can continue to kick ass in the series.
My secret Santa also wrapped my gift and added a super sweet Santa Zonk tag that I kept. I hope to post pics of that soon.
Im serious , Europe especially eastern Europe and Russian culuture takes the story of St. Noel very seriously. Research it if you dont believe me.

All I got out of this was cluclu land.
cluclu clan?
The NES game. I do believe he is calling out your extra "u" in culture. You typed it culuture. Which would have been easily glanced over as cluclu.
I don't know what clu clu clan is. nor do I want to know why you suggested that.
LMFAO oops.
Yeah i knew about the NES game btw. I see now my typo lol
Zachary "Zack" Morris is a fictional character from the sitcoms Good Morning, Miss Bliss; Saved by the Bell; Saved by the Bell: The College Years; and Saved by the Bell: The New Class. He was portrayed by Mark-Paul Gosselaar. Though the character appeared in several different television programs, Gosselaar made a concerted effort to keep the character fundamentally the same through its various incarnations.
I'm serious. Research it if you dont believe me.

Please stop bumping this thread with your incoherent, nonsensical rambling. You have nothing to do with our Secret Santa gift exchange and your posts are completely pointless and off topic.

This thread is not about Santa (or the glorification of drugs), and St. Nick lived 1500 years before your purported "fact". You're entirely incorrect and off topic, so fuck off.
I've reports of one gift not arriving yet, but is anyone else still waiting? :|

I'm guessing they're Sparky labels. I've created US cases using Sparky labels from some of my loose PCE hueys. :)
Nice, Jeff! I've been wanting to play JJ & Jeff / Kato & Ken again and Cadash is all sorts of fun.
Ah I didn't think about that. :)

Yup - they're PCE versions with Sparky labels. If anybody has loose PCE cases/manuals for these let me know ;)
Was totally not expecting this to come in the mail from Superplay with a nice Christmas card. Thanks so much man can't wait to check out this when I get home. I don't have any pce soundtrack CDs so this is a real treat!

My Secret Santa gifts arrived today (better late than never). Looks like I was one of the 4 lucky recipients of the soundtrack CD from SuperPlay. Thanks and appreciation to NecroPhile for hosting the Secret Santa gift exchange, SuperPlay for providing additional gifts, and my Secret Santa (my guess is bartre?).
Yep, 'twas bartre. I'm gonna go take a shit on his doorstep for mailing a tad late. :twisted:
yeah, bartre it was.
sorry about the late shipping, personal life/work/school/moving and all that jazz kinda crushed me the last couple months.
oh, and a huge thank you to my SS!
I got Son Son II and Dead Moon, two games i was starting to doubt i'd ever actually own.
My Secret Santa also went overboard:

So this wound up being one of my best years for Turbo/PCE gifts. I'm planning a 4+ player PCE birthday party this weekend. I hope to record some multiplayer gameplay footage of Motoroaders, Bombermans and Dungeon Explorers (among other games). :)
Next christmas I shall participate :) Oh holy day of Jesus
Merry Christmas and Happy New year everyone! Thanks to my SS for the awesome gift, and also to the bonus secret Santa! :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:
Also ROFLMAO - I meant to put in a little card with a barcode that when you scanned you got this image (to give away the SS identity). I didn't have a chance to do that but here is the picture anyway. =)

Quote from: guest on 12/25/2013, 03:58 PMHUGE THANKS go out to Duo_R for his very generous Secret Santa gifts. I was floored when I opened the presents this morning. I've been playing them quite a bit today. :) And there's not much left of the sweets (though I started early on them)!
Thanks again!

it's impossible for me to not laugh at the Cosmic fantasy 2 box art.
it freaking looks like Napoleon Dynamite drew it.

Haha! That's hilarious!
Seriously, you went above and beyond my wildest expectations. I gasped and was giddy like a schoolgirl when I opened them on Christmas (my wife can back that up). I've been playing a ton of Cosmic Fantasy 2 since I opened it. It's been glorious, though it is truly an old-school, grindy rpg. And I did feel *a bit* embarassed when the Babette shower scene popped up with my wife nearby. And then I died before having a chance to save (damn random battles!) so had to go through it again.
Thanks, Duo_R, for unnecessary marital stress. :mrgreen:
^LMFAO!!! great holiday story!!
I dont even know the inside joke but that **** was funny Y U NO LIKE ME

You should start an annual tradition. Cosmic Fantasy 1 and Rim bathing scenes are up next year. :mrgreen:

You're welcome ;) haha
I was getting a little nervous scouting your list initially - expensive taste!
Quote from: guest on 10/01/2013, 05:39 PMFor 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.

I was shocked last week to see a tube with the Turbo Legacy poster enclosed within!! O_O Hauly Mauly!!
It's beautiful!!
So much for them shipping "usually within 24 hours"; it was ordered more than a week before x-mas but not picked up by FedEx until the 30th. Better late than never though.

What game is that ship from? I almost looks like the ship from Gate of Thunder.

R-Type was my 2nd thought but the cockpit wasn't "rounded" enough. Was it different in R-Type Delta?

Could tecnically be a different R-Type ship, but the design looks like Delta's:

Looks spot on actually.
Good to see it made it alive. It is indeed supposed to be a Delta; I couldn't find a pattern for the original Arrowhead.
A fuckin' month late! Sorry it took so long to get it done and out to you. :|
