Secret Santa 2013

[roflmao]

^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!

Somehow I doubt that...

Im 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 f*ck off.


I've reports of one gift not arriving yet, but is anyone else still waiting? 

[Mathius]

So wait. Did you get the PC Engine versions in the US cases?

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!

[hoobs88]

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 Necromancer for hosting the Secret Santa gift exchange, SuperPlay for providing additional gifts, and my Secret Santa (my guess is bartre?).

[Necromancer]

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

[bartre]

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.

[Black Tiger]

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).

Next christmas I shall participate Oh holy day  of Jesus

[Duo_R]

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. =)

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!

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.
