Shit man, is it even Christmas where you are? I've still got an hour and a half to wait!

EDIT:
But thanks to the fact that apparently my entire family can't keep a secret in spite of my best efforts, I already know I'm getting Skyrim.

[Joke about the napkins being actual Canadian $100 bills]

I had a mental image for a second of some thick-skulled relative giving you a very-poorly-giftwrapped McDonald's hamburger with a few bites out of it.

I got $90 in cash and a $25 gift card to Subway, but for me Christmas is spread out over the next week so I'll likely get more $. I also got some books.

50 bucks, clothes, new trackball, Skyrim, and Anno 2070. Clothes are good since a lot of the stuff I am wearing is getting near 10 years old. The other stuff is good too.

A Declaration of War?

So I got my Bronto Dirty Santa package. And it's from Dogstar! Okay, I don't remember who that is exactly but let's see what the loot is!
:cake:



So let's see, The Godfather: The Game, Yu-Gi-Oh: Duelists of the Rose (:barf:), a manwa by the name of Banya, a Mechwarrior novel, a series of flash cards that appear to have been made to study for a biology test, a Dragonlance novel, a Mechwarrior 3 game manual with no game (???), a English/Japanese pocket dictionary, and a novel by some guy whose apparently most notable achievement was writing a side story of a series primarily penned by Robert Ludlum.

Well. Uh. The Godfather game could be alright, the manwa's premise looks to be summed up as following a letter carrier during The War of the Ring which sounds pretty great, and I do like robots in general and a Mechwarrior novel is probably about robots blowing up other robots. I'm cool with that.
The Yu-Gi-Oh game is probably one of the series of awful games that have a tradition of being passed around each year like bad fruitcake in this community, and the rest is probably good natured trolling of varying degrees. I can respect a good joke at my expense. I suppose that this all...

Wait. That. In the corner.

What is that?



What the fuck is that?

I considered just popping it in, thinking "Hey, he read my likes and dislikes and has seen my posts on this forum for the last few years. Surely ol' Dogstar wouldn't give me the equivalent of a thinly veiled assassination attempt in a DVD case right?"
Luckily, my true friends Norondor and Lyrai informed me of its true nature. Why are they true friends? Because they have obviously just saved my life.


In any case, thanks for everything that isn't Kanon.

I am also pretty sure that that Kanon DVD is bootleg, for two reasons

A) It was never released outside Japan
B) The Japanese release was 7 discs.

I got an awesome (yet sadly non-microwave safe) Moomin mug from my friend's mom. Which considering the fact we can't even communicate is really sweet! EDIT: Also, two boxes of assorted Finnish chocolates from my friends and their sister!

I'll probably be getting some pomegranate jelly, homemade chocolates, and a copy of Hogfather from my mom when I get back to the states. Aww yeah.

Now if only the weather would grant us some snow up here...

Hey there Arcees, what do we have here? Why it's a box of Joy from Roger.


Why don't you help me get this open?


That's better, so what do we have inside? Why it's a giant shiny bumblebee!


My god he's so huge! Let's see what else was in the box.


Prime Arcee: I will never stop hugging this bumblebee.


Movie Arcee: Behold, a terrible piece of plastic.


Other Movie Arcee: WHY WAS I PROGRAMMED TO FEEL PAIN?!


Energon Arcee: Oh a button!


Other Movie Arcee: EVERY MOMENT IS AN ETERNITY OF SUFFERING!


Energon Arcee: I feel like an 80's music video model.


Prime Arcee: Take me away to dreamland Slumblebee.


Aww. Animated Arcee found a cute little bumblebee of her own. I wonder what else was in the box.


Other Movie Arcee: PLEASE KILL ME!


So here's the complete collection after Roger's joybox additions.


And just so we remember the reason for the season, here's a nativity scene.


Also recieved:
400 bucks
An incredibly beautiful Alphonse Mucha art book.
A silver Christmas tree ornament.

Lessee...
I got some bitchin' socks.
Boots.
Undershirts in white and black 3 apiece.
Two sweaters.
A polo shirt.
A coat fit for -40*F weather.
New gym shoes.
Carpenter's Cut Jeans.
A hipster-type canvas bag.

Before I think too hard on that litany, I also recieved:
Comically oversized undergarments.
A piece of weeaboo looking animation software.
Skyrim.
A 1.5kg ax.

So mostly I'm annoyed I spent the past four hours cutting firewood.

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]
