Secret Santa VGCollect 2014

^ Trade you. I'm one of those people who cannot tan no matter how hard I try. I'm so pale that I look like I'm glowing any time someone takes my photo. There is a photograph of me where I am actively reflecting white light on a black fence directly behind me. It was taken on an overcast day.

Never played Critical Path, but I remember wasting several hours with Virtuoso. That game took "so bad, it's good" and turned it into an artform. The box art mullet is a major improvement over the in-game mullet.

Dude, I'm pretty friggin' white. Not Conan O'Brien levels, thankfully, just average Gringo white. My dad was very light skinned and I got that from him, but my mom is dark skinned so I tan easily and rarely burn, unlike my poor sisters who are super white but sunburn after a half hour outside. :p My brother's the same as me. But since I work walking around in the sun buying things, my face, neck, hands and arms are tanned. The rest of me, not so much. ;p

Woot my gift came in the mail today 

My Secret Santa helped my poor Sega Genesis library with the additions of:

• Mutant League Football
• Last Battle
• Buster's Hidden Treasure

As well as sending the soundtrack for the game Journey, a movie called City Dragon that looks like it will be fantastic, some nice cases for my loose GBA collection and candy that is vastly superior to Tootsie Rolls.  Seriously I just ate some peanut butter candy, (I forget the name) and it was fantastic, as well as the coconut candy.

Not pictured is the candy I already ate

That peanut butter candy is called "mazapán", it's a version of marzipan.

And I'm terribly sorry for those red and yellow candies. Those are um, hot candies. You have been warned. Enjoy your lead poisoning! <3

I found that out the hard way.  Caught me off guard ha.

I wanted to send a better variety of stuff but none of the local candy markets had a lot of uh, loose candy in stock. All they had were wholesale packages. It's why I sent you that cocada (coconut candy) package! It was either that or one single half-pound stick of the stuff. :p

And so everyone knows, if you ever get a Secret Santa package from me, you get candy and a bad movie. It's tradition!

Your Secret Santa is awesome. Mutant League Football is not a cheap game!

[cstorm]

Awesome!  I love seeing folks do these videos. It's awesome to see/hear what you folks are like.

Merry Christmas my brother. Hope it was great.

You did fine! And now you are part of the tootsie roll brotherhood.

I streamed my unboxing on Twitch, but it got muted, so I'm hoping to get the local recording to work and uploaded on Youtube as soon as I can!

But one thing I can say - wow, Secret Santa, thanks so much!  I was blown away by what you got me! 

[foxhack]

I wanted to pester ask you on Twitter about the unboxing. Now to wait.
