Secret Santa VGCollect 2014

[soera]

Ahhh gotcha.

[desocietas]

Everyone has been getting great gifts. This has been a really fun thread to keep up with and I'm so glad I participated.

Aside: Dawn of Mana is my least favorite game in the series. That game makes me so -ANGRY- that it almost makes me want to remove the entire franchise from my collection. Seriously, I want to strangle the creators of that game IN THE FACE.

I still have to pick that one up to add to my Mana collection, but now I'm *super* interested in how bad this game is, haha.

I've never played it. I've heard the it isn't like other Mana games though and that it suffers from camera issues?

*Camera issues out the yin yang
*Controlling the ivy whip is messy
*Resetting of Keldy's stats at the end of each chapter
*Lacks the "magic" that made SoM and SoM2 so memorable

Beautiful game, though. The visuals rival some I have seen in modern day RPGs.

There. I've sent my package. Now you can tag it as shipped.

Now to wait until the one I'm supposed to get... gets here. I need a tracking number. :p

My gift just arrived, beautifully wrapped. I'm not comfortable opening it until I know my giftee has theirs, though. Should be within the next couple of days.

(I love the giraffes, Santa.)

Submit to peer pressure!

I don't think the OP was updated, but I did receive my SS package! I haven't pulled it out of the original mailing package yet (have been waiting for a tree or something to put it under), but I plan to and will take a picture

[kashell]

Make a video instead! XD

[tpugmire]

Mine arrived yesterday. I got a couple games that I've almost purchased many times over the past couple years, but for some reason I never went through with it. Doom 3: BFG Edition for Xbox 360 and Super Mario 64 DS. Thanks Secret Santa!

[doctorlaudanum]

My giftee's present has been delivered, so I opened mine. I'm posting a photo instead of a full unboxing video because none of you deserve to be subjected to my horrific southern drawl.



I got Journey: Collector's Edition for the PS3 (perfect timing too, because I just replaced my PS3 two days ago and have really been wanting to play it,) Okamiden for the DS, a set of PAX magnets, another adorable giraffe note, and a box of green tea Kit Kats. I actually never knew they existed until now, but they are GODLIKE. I don't like green tea or regular Kit Kats (sue me,) but they somehow combine to make something beautiful. I definitely need to pick up more.

Thanks so much, Santa!

P.S. My puppies really liked the box.

[kashell]

That is a great haul. Enjoy!

Well, I tried to take a video of me unboxing my gift, but my camera sucks, the lighting sucks, and since I'm apparently too dark skinned to show up on the camera properly, I couldn't make a video. Sorry! (Goddamn, and people around here call me whitey because I'm whiter than most folks...)

So... here's the stuff I got from someone in Texas.


- A baggie of Tootsie Rolls (whoever you are at least you had the decency to send me chocolate ones.)
- Critical Path (game on CD) - I vaguely remember hearing about this game a while back
- Virtuoso (PC CD, sealed) - ... which is a pretty weird coincidence because Clint of LazyGameReviews spoke about the cover art a couple of weeks ago in his "Worst Box Art" video! Dat mullet!
- And a $20 Steam Wallet card. Yippee!

Thank you~
