Aw, but I'd like to find out who the SS is when I got the package.  But I'm the sort who likes a surprise :)  I'll most likely leave mine 'till xmas for opening up.  It's so rare that I have gifts to open on christmas morning!

So far I have Burningdoom and Disgaeniac as having shipped. If anyone else has shipped, post on here or toss me a PM. I hope to get my own package out in the mail this weekend.

I'm with ya', Deso  8)

It's just that (since the package that I sent wasn't likely to fit into most mail-boxes); I thought that by having the tracking # (hence - knowing in advance where it is/when it's coming)...they'd be better prepared to make sure that someone was around to receive the package when it arrives.

Not all mail carriers (in all areas) will leave an abnormal-sized package laying around if nobody's there to receive it; it's (usually) just left up to the carrier's own discretion.

Hm, it's a good point.  I guess if I want to do that but still be anonymous, I can have Soera pm the person on my behalf  8)

Hi, everyone!

I can't decide between two gifts, so I will ask for your opinion... would you prefer a game from your wish list or would you prefer your Secret Santa to surprise you?

Pros of the game: If it is in your wish list, you will sure like it!
With the surprise, you will either love it or not that much...

Please help me, so I can ship it tomorrow!!!! ;)

Thanks!

50/50 really, IMO.

*Personally*, I'd go with/take/choose the surprise, though  8)

Surprise is never bad! Just check whoever's collection to make sure they dont have it. :)

I think that's getting into some iffy territory. Not everyone has the same tastes. For example, Metal Gear Solid is like the greatest game ever made in a lot of people's eyes, but I personally find it bores me to freaking tears.

If you're gonna do that. I'd at least check the person's collection. First of all to see if they already have the item or not. Secondly to see what their tastes in games are. And finally, to check and see if it's on their wishlist.

Had some decent luck with some finds tonight for my giftee, but I want to hit up another store or two to see if I can scrounge up anything else/better.  Pretty fun!
