VGCollect 2025 Secret Santa!

[kashell]

After an incredibly busy week, I've finally been able to start catching up with things. I'm glad that there were some who were able to get together for a group meetup and unbox what was available at the time, and what's better is that everyone so far has enjoyed their gifts! In particular, I'm glad I gifted the Final Fantasy VIII soundtrack to kashell, which I'm sure will get much enjoyment whether it's on display or being played during a car ride.

And if I'm understanding some of the many rules to phonetic linguistics, then I think my username would be transcribed as /'da:bi/ or DAH-bee, with an extended vowel a sound.

Thanks again! Funnily enough, before we started recording, I mentioned that I started a replay of Final Fantasy VIII Remastered. The timing was perfect.

But.... what did you get??

Well, I finally opened my gift box! In a way, Santa got me six games: Shenmue I & II, Pikmin 1 & 2, and Final Fantasy Origins, also known as Final Fantasy I & Final Fantasy II! Santa was quite generous and thoughtful, and I appreciate the theme that I realized almost immediately upon opening the third gift. A friendly note was also included, which I've kept inside one of the game cases.

Santa was also somehow able to return the four Silent Hill games that I had lent to telly a few months ago without any issues, so that sure was nice!

Apologies for the late post. Been a hectic year, and finally, the holiday break.

• Shingeki no Kyojin (PSV)
• Lord of Apocalypse (PSV)

I'm late to posting too- finally have been able to get some time off from work and get caught up.

Thanks to my Secret Santa for helping me get ever closer to the complete ps2 set.  I'm down to just 49 games.

I also really enjoyed that my SS had a theme with their selections- the plan was to find a game from my list whose title starts with a letter in my name- nick.

n- nicktoons
i- IGPX
c- Carol's Sudoku
K- Konami Kids Playground- Frogger

Very clever!

Glad we had another successful year!
