NOTE: In the interest of maintaining the thin veneer of internet anonymity here, I will be referring to my match as
<Brentai> !manlyname
<Finnel> LIFT THICKMEAL
instead of his actual name. Also I lost the shipping label that had it on there so now I don't even remember it.So, first off, I have to admit I cheated a bit. Far past the deadline and desperate, I realized I had no box to ship my own PDS gifts in. So I looked at the box my match had sent me and thought, "Hey, now there's about the right size/shape for my gifts! And I'll get to make someone
else wonder what the hell they bought from Newegg until they see the label!" So yeah, I've had my stuff open for a few days now. And who else can say that the box their stuff came in turned out to be one of the most useful gifts? Truly, the spirit of Christmas is in taking from people in ways they don't expect.
So when I received the thing I had no idea who the hell it was from. I knew that Dogstar had something like a million entries so I went and assumed that
Lift Thickmeal must be him, which is probably one of the most devestating innocent insults I've probably ever subjected somebody to. Also when I actually talked to Dogstar he informed me that I was mistaken and that he is, in fact, a California state senator. So, from the bottom of my heart, I apologize,
Lift Thickmeal, for thinking you were Dogstar.
So, eager to see if there was a note or something telling me who this guy is, I tore into the package to find...
Holy
fucking shit.
If your intention was to make me feel extra bad about my poor contribution this year,
Lift Thickmeal, then well done. This is a goddam jackpot.
Let's see now...
What's particularly awesome about this is that I had the PC version of this exact iteration of the series, way long ago. With the same included encyclopedia and everything. That damn thing was my internet before they invented, you know, the internet.
The best part about Where in Time, besides Carmen's sweet Delore-cycle there, is that the game gives you a limited number of hours to catch the criminal du jour. Yes, while you're time travelling. It patently refuses to explain or justify this to you.
God damn,
Lift Thickmeal, have you been digging around in my Amazon wishlist? That's just creepy. Especially when it's two games-I-secretly-wanted-but-would-publically-say-are-stupid.
I've been dicking around with 3D Dot Game Heroes a bit and, well, it turns out it actually is a bit stupid. I know it's generally bad form to say "your gift sucks" to someone but actually I have to express my appreciation for being able to try it out without feeling like a tool for paying actual monies for it. So, thanks for that.
GoW HD on the other hand gives me a chance to catch up on GoW2, which is well worth putting up with the weird TF2-looking HD models.
Here we have some William Shatner thing and...
Oh.
Well.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
FUN FACT: My car radio has a multi-CD player. While once the pinnacle of cool, in this day and age it's actually far more useless than my last two cars, since the last one only played one CD but let you put a crapload of MP3s on it and the one before that had a tapedeck which you can at least jack into an MP3 player.
Anyway, my CD collection consists of one Michael Jackson Greatest Hits album, the Black Mages I, the soundtrack to Ys Eternal, and Tommy.
So uh, thanks for rounding out my music collection a bit, I guess. I think I'll be ironic about it and do a mashup of every track except #3.
Comics! Everybody seems to have massive stacks of these things to throw around but me.
I'm amused that it's still called "The Ren and Stimpy Show" when it's in comic book format (also that I managed to specifically
not capture this in the photo).
All right, enough fooling around. It's time to open that big, suspicious box-within-a-box there. What AMAZING TREASURES could it hold-
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
So anyway, here's a pocketwatch. The box cutter didn't come in the U.S. mail obviously, it's just something I was using to open up boxes and I decided to add it into the shot to make it seem like I'm the world's most under-equipped Spy.
Or, because I know somebody's going to have to say it: the world's most over-equipped terrorist.
Travel pool! Not too sure if it's anything even resembling playable, but it's kinda neat looking.
And... one of these.
Look,
Lift Thickmeal, I appreciate you helping to decorate my bare walls a little bit, but this? What do you think this is, 19-
Wait.
Waaaaait a minute.
You son of a bitch.
I know who you are, Lift Thickmeal.
You're...
THE 90S!!!And here I thought we were done with you.
[spoiler]Actually I figured out later that it's probably Smiler.[/spoiler]
