Secret Santa 2014

[NecroPhile]

It's Secret Santa time again!  Here's the rules:

1.  Don't sign up if you can't or won't follow through.
2.  Signups are open now until the first(ish) of November, at which time everyone'll be matched up and wish lists will get sent out to your respective Santa.
3.  To make life easier for me, please fill in the form 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 L@@K bin pricing.
5.  Gifts should be mailed by December 10th at the latest, but don't mail it too early either.  If for some reason you won't be able to meet that time frame, please let me know as early as possible so that alternate plans can be made and nobody ends up with nothing under their tree but an old fruitcake.
6.  This is important and bears repeating: don't sign up if you won't follow through; you fuck this up and I'll ban your ass.
7.  The most important rule is to have fun!


For 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.

Also, let me know if you don't want to shop for me since it won't exactly be secret.


Thanks to xcrement5x, one lucky Santa will be getting a loose copy of Hudson Vol. 5 - Necromancer.

Yay!  Secret Santa returns again!

[bob]

ahh...the annual "Outrun" thread returns!!

of course I'm in.  and I want in on the poster if eligible.  (I won coal last year)

[Medic_wheat]

I'm in.

This could be fun

[DeshDildo]

I'm in like flint if you allow newbs.

[jtucci31]

I'd like to join as well even though I'm still new-ish here. I hope most of you are ok with that. I mean the wish list really helps these types of situations. I'll do my damn best!

[Medic_wheat]

OHHHHhhhhh

I had asumed you meant that fake coal stuff that you sometimes see...


This is much more creative and related to Obey....

[JoshTurboTrollX]

Wonder Momos for everyone!!  MWAYHAHAHAHAHAHHAH!!!!

[420GOAT]

im in this year.

[bartre]

does the rule still stand that you don't HAVE to ask specifically for turbo stuff?
if so, i'm in.
if not, i might have to think about it, as i can't really think of anything i want offhand.

[NecroPhile]

It doesn't have to be OBEY, but why would you want anything else?!?  Have you been naughty?

[hoobs88]

Count me in! I'll try to submit my wishlist over the weekend.

[bob]

hey NecroPhile, im actually going to bow out this year.  i look forward to following the thread.

[PunkCryborg]

sign me up!!!

[TheNeck]

I'm in if i i can, since i am new to the forum.

Sounds like fun!

[bartre]

hmm, i'll have to make up some kind of a list, perhaps just some kind of craft/mod?
but yeah, i'm in

[NecroPhile]

If you don't want games at all (for any system), then we can ask for handy Santas that are willing to make something for you.  We had one like that last year and it worked out fine.

[tggodfrey]

[geise]

Why the hell not!  Sign me up!  I didn't do it last year.  I will make time this year.

[esteban]

I'll sign up if someone wants a turbo-related craft/artwork...

[Opethian]

id buy a turbodoodle mug


just saying hint hint wink wink nudge nudge saynomore

[esteban]

 

[bob]

Turbodoodle?  Whats that?  Some kind of lost art or something?  Sounds like the legend of forumites?  You know, fun things people used to commit to?

(galam has buster bros doodle printed on photo paper and framed in game room)

[NecroPhile]

In honor of this being the fifth anniversary of Secret Santa, xelement is offering up a huey only copy of Hudson Vol. 5 - Necromancer for raffling to Santas. 

I'll sign up if someone wants a turbo-related craft/artwork...

If anyone is interested in this, let me know via PM.

[NecroPhile]

Bumples!

[jtucci31]

I know i still need to PM you all of my information/wish list stuff. That will be made up shortly, i just want to compile a decent enough wish list. Never thought that'd be difficult to do!

If you have a PC Engine daisakusen account you can make a wishlist on there from the whole collection of pce and turbo games and just give NecroPhile the link

[turboswimbz]

Hey NecroPhile I'm in if it's not to late.  (although I STILL haven't played my awesome games from last year.)  long story short I'm in need of some repairs and it's been a very very long year. 

If it isn't I will  have a list for you soon.

[xcrement5x]

List submitted finally!

[PunkCryborg]

If anyone is on the fence about signing up... Do it! It's fun and I look forward to it every year!

I was so happy being a Grinch in years past. Don't underestimate the joy of isolating yourself.

Of course, this year I finally decide to join. The problem, for me, has always been choosing games that are cheap/easy to find.

I'm still having a hard time figuring out what the hell is an affordable game these days.

For me $25-35

Mind you the retro gaming market is just getting more and more jacked up in cost.

But you can often find games reasonably priced instead of the inflated cost

[tggodfrey]

No matter how large your collection, there are 10-30.00 games out there that are fun to play.

[cjameslv]

I finally will have some time tomorrow night to get a list pm'd to you.

[NecroPhile]

Confirmation lists have been sent out to all Santas; please check 'em over and fill in anything missing or incorrect as soon as possible.

And if you want to be included but didn't get one, let me know.

[Duo_R]

if it isn't too late you can sign me up. I haven't been on here so missed the post. lol

[NecroPhile]

Sorry, Duo_R, but everyone's already been matched up.  Unless some more latecomers want in or someone volunteers to trade their recipient with you (I'd do it myself but the shopping has already begun), you're too late. 

[Duo_R]

it's all good, November rolled around way to fast and totally missed this thread. I'll join again next year. A bag of coal for replying late for me! lol

[esteban]

Coal.

[Duo_R]

Esteban, are you saying your going to send me coal! Awesome.... I deserve it!
