Thanks for the input, looks like I'll just make a list while also leaving my VGC wishlist open. Seems to be the best of both worlds so the SS can do whatever they like.

I'm in for this year. $50 limit sounds great and I'm okay with shipping to US, Canada and Mexico. I could probably swing overseas shipping but definitely want to stick with NTSC / NA games (I don't have a means of testing other regions).

re: wishlists.

Idk how people have liked mine in the past but I usually try to steer clear of specific games really. Usually I'm pretty open and just tell people what I have been into or missing lately and let them go from there. IMO seems like it makes it a bit more open and easier to find things that may fit and I am not expecting certain things and have usually been very surprised.

I never use the wish list feature on here unless we're doing Secret Santa. Normally, if there's a game I really want I'll just up and buy it immediately instead of adding it to a wishlist on here or amazon or something like that.

Last year, I had a theme of "PlayStation 2 games that I want to finally play." This year I'm going for a theme of "Random stuff from a random guy."

I give people the option to use my wishlist so they don't have to feel restricted, but I also provide a list of top games so they don't have to dig through my almost 400 game wishlist. I see no harm in having both!

The more, the merrier, in my opinion. I like having the wishlist of titles (that way they don't have to go through my collection to check what I already have), but I also like to mention anything else that I'm interested in - franchises, memorabilia, etc. Previous SSs have also given out handmade goods! So don't feel restricted when deciding what to give :)

I've been meaning to tell you that I sent the wrong note.  I mean, I like that your hair smells like lilac; but that was totally meant for someone else.   ;)

Also, thank you for keeping those pictures to yourself.  I was afraid they'd end up on the internet.

Speaking of turf, I just noticed we have matching Mega Man Legacy Collection 2s in our signature.
