It was you, wasn't it?

 

[Ren.182]

It wasn't actually!

 

[Krynn72]

Got Bastion, Deadlight, and Scribblenauts Unlimited. Very cool. Deadlight is one I've been really wanting to play since I saw a video of it, and the other two are ones I feel like I should have played already if I am considering myself a true gamer. Thanks again BHC!

Hope my santee is happy. He behaved himself during the sale

You don't, thats the point of the "Secret" part. The only reason I know BHC was mine is because he told me the second I got my emails lol.

 

[ríomhaire]

Almost done but having a little trouble with the last few gifts. I think Steam might be a bit overloaded. We're at the peak time of day.

EDIT: Ok everything sent out. Time to find out what my one games are!

Condemned, Mass Effect, Just Cause 2, Zeno Clash. NOICE.

 

[ShinRa]

You don't, thats the point of the "Secret" part. The only reason I know BHC was mine is because he told me the second I got my emails lol.

I demand my SS come forward and accept my hug.

 

[Wanted Bob]

Holy crap, I got totally spoiled by my SS! Scribblenauts, the void, ftl, hotline Miami, to the moon, mcpixel, mark of the ninja, awesomenauts, and half minute hero. I'm totally speechless, thank you so so much for this! Definitely stepping up my game next year, hopefully I'll have a larger budget to do so

Edit: Much <3 to ShinRa!

 

[Shamrock]

It looks like I got The Walking Dead and Assassin's Creed 2 from Rim-Fire!

Thanks so much!!! I'm excited to play these games.

Love you bro! And thanks a thousand pounds of Graham crackers for putting this together!

EDIT:

I just found out Riomhaire sent me the gift out of his inventory, but he failed to tell me that it was from Deathmaster!

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

You don't, thats the point of the "Secret" part. The only reason I know BHC was mine is because he told me the second I got my emails lol.

I'm not good at keeping secrets! :x Nor have a done a SS before. haha

 

[DEATHMASTER]

I got too much! Sonic CD, Assassin's Creed 2, Dead Island, Lost Planet 2, and Witcher 2!

 

[Higlac]

Assassin's creed 2, FTL, XCOM, and Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013! Thank you Santa-person!

 

[Ren.182]

Darksiders 1 & 2 (oh, and all of the DLC!) and FTL! Awesome! Thank you!!!

Hope my santee is happy. He behaved himself during the sale ecret" part. The only reason I know BHC was mine is because he told me the second I got my emails lol.

I got Deadlight as well! Looks ****ing fantastic, can't wait to play after work tonight!



Also got Bioshock and Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Very much appreciated, santa! Who ever you are. You did a very good job, thank you

You don't, thats the point of the "Secret" part. The only reason I know BHC was mine is because he told me the second I got my emails lol.

In real life you are revealed when you physically give your gift to the person, though. Since this is a forum I think we should reveal here! I want to make out with my Santa!

 

[Bad^Hat]

Aw man Amnesia just went on sale, seriously? That was gonna be my final gift, hope my santee likes his shit anyway.

I got Dark Souls, CS:GO, and Morrowind from my wishlist, which is already amazing, then they threw in the Void which looks like a thoroughly interesting and also thoroughly russian game. Thanks SS, you're the coolest. :3

 

[Krynn72]

In real life you are revealed when you physically give your gift to the person, though.

You're doing it wrong. The gifts go into a pool where the recipient grabs the one with their name on it.

At least thats how we did it years ago. Been awhile since we did a Secret Santa, we moved on to the way shittier Yankee Swap.

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

I was going to say typically in Secret Santa you reveal the gift givers to the recipients after the process is over. It's part of the fun!

THread now official flame whar oh Noee!!!

 

[morgs]

Wow, some nice surprises to come home to! I got KOTOR II, Dark Souls: PTD Edition and Mark of the Ninja. Thanks a bunch SS! I feel very spoiled though.

 

[Shamrock]

Rio, next time put who they're from in the email!

 

[DEATHMASTER]

Yeah if you just sent links to the gifts, then the message is preserved as well.

 

[Krynn72]

Yeah, didn't realize that the message stays. I would have put something more clever.

 

[Dog--]

Bonus for my SS, I showed my gf my wishlist at the start of this and she just revealed that she was hoping for Bioshock the whole time

 

[DEATHMASTER]

Yeah, didn't realize that the message stays. I would have put something more clever.

It didn't, the presents were accepted by Rhymes with Hair and redistributed to everyone from himself.

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

My messages were the ones my Santa wrote

 

[ríomhaire]

It didn't, the presents were accepted by Rhymes with Hair and redistributed to everyone from himself.

If the santa had left a message for the recipient I copy-pasted it because I'm just cool like that.

then they threw in the Void which looks like a thoroughly interesting and also thoroughly russian game.

Russian games are the best.


Also I don't care if ye all just fess up and tell each other who got who, I just thought it was more fun to preserve the mystery for a short while. I know who mine is by virtue of having organised it. Thanks Bob. I'm especially looking forward to see what all the fuss is about over this whole Mass Effect thing.

 

[Dog--]

I'm especially looking forward to see what all the fuss is about over this whole Mass Effect thing.

My brother got me the Mass Effect PC trilogy for xmas, and I'm starting with #1. I have to say it's pretty good. Judging from gameplay videos of #2 it gets WAY better though. There are some annoying things (like your guns don't have clips or reloads, they overheat.. They fixed that in #2 by adding reloading), but it's a good game

 

[kineaesth]

thank you for the video games <3

 

[Ren.182]

Just played my first game of FTL and got to the last boss and failed hard. Awesome game though! Thanks!

 

[DEATHMASTER]

If the santa had left a message for the recipient I copy-pasted it because I'm just cool like that.

Really? My santee didn't get it nor did I. I got 5x:

Dear DEATHMASTER,

I think these do it.
Best Wishes,
[REDACTED], [email protected]

I think my santa was a little more creative than that. Or I'm mistaken and he's a fat liar!

 

[Bad^Hat]

Mine came through intact. For instance,

Dear Bad^Hat,
Make sure to install all the best nude mods.
Best Wishes,
[REDACTED]

It's funny cause it's like they're redacting the best wishes.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

Me and my santa sent Rhymes with Hair the links, maybe he handled them different or just forgot.
