Quote from: Xak on 12/29/2013, 01:15 PM^That was awesome , nice read. I used to be the Zack Morris of my mid 90s middle school

I'm starting to wonder if he's trying to get banned again...

Let's keep this thread to Secret Santa chat, please.

And more folks ought to be posting pics!

Quote from: Xak on 12/28/2013, 10:19 PMIm serious , Europe especially eastern Europe and Russian culuture takes the story of St. Noel very seriously. Research it if you dont believe me.

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?).

Nazi NecroPhile · 12/30/2013, 05:46 PM

Yep, 'twas bartre. I'm gonna go take a shit on his doorstep for mailing a tad late.

bartre · 12/30/2013, 09:25 PM

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.

CrackTiger · 01/01/2014, 01:27 PM

My Secret Santa also went overboard:

I got these other PCE games from my girlfriend and here parents (whom she shopped for

) as X-Mas/birthday presents:

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).

Xak · 01/01/2014, 01:39 PM

Next christmas I shall participate

Oh holy day of Jesus

Duo_R · 01/01/2014, 04:58 PM

Merry Christmas and Happy New year everyone! Thanks to my SS for the awesome gift, and also to the bonus secret Santa!

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!

bartre · 01/01/2014, 09:19 PM

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.

Xak · 01/01/2014, 09:56 PM

^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.

SUPER DUPER LATE UPDATER HERE!

I opened these near Christmas but was on vacation and haven't really had time to post until today.

Legendary Axe & Skweek!

Many thanks to my Santa. I played a fair bit of Skweek the other night and I can see why it gets so much love!

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 in their stocking and another participant will get a copy of the Turbo Legacy Poster. 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!!

Nazi NecroPhile · 01/07/2014, 05:52 PM

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.

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.

Nazi NecroPhile · 01/27/2014, 11:34 AM

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.
