wow i swear i posted. It should have been on the second page!
Well anyway, my shirt size is medium and my favorite pony is Pinkie Pie!
I also like random old stuff; 70's stuff to decorate my pad with would also be awesome! If not either of those then something car related is also welcome. I don't mind reading material!

Re: Forumswide Secret Celestia X-Mas X-travaganza 2!
I would just like to say thanks to Willsun for doing this a second year, having to put up with users who cannot read and leave out information in emails or who need to be tracked down to post gift ideas
He also forgoes gifts for himself, which is a bold act!
THANK YOU WILLSUN.
I look forward to posting my opening on the 25th of December and also reading what everyone else has gotten.

Oh man, this means that ONE OF YOU is searching through all my posts and otherwise stalking me to figure out what I might like as a present. And the same thing no doubt is happening all over, like some kind of high-stakes holiday Mafia game.

Re: Forumswide Secret Celestia X-Mas X-travaganza 2!
Research is fun!
Though I did need to rule out one potential idea straight away, but oh well, more to spend on [REDACTED]!
(Still worried about buying the wrong thing though )
EDIT: Let's just redact a little more of that, just in case.

Re: Forumswide Secret Celestia X-Mas X-travaganza 2!
Just a quick reminder because people are so excited, don't make a post when you send your package out as it may give you away to your santee based on time they get their package.
Also I might have a bit of a situation. Basically what's going on is that my family asked me to join them for a Christmas and new year at their holiday home. Now this a problem because they don't have internet connection there, so I will not be able to upload any pictures while there because I'll be using my phone and shitty 3G to surf.
I have two solutions figured out. First one is that if I receive my package before I have to leave, I open it, take the unboxing pictures, upload them to imgur or whatever before I leave, and then I should be able to make the post at Christmas even with crappy 3G as I only have to link the already uploaded pictures. Second option is simply that I make my gift post after I come back home after the new year.
Which one of these do you guys prefer? Personally I like the first one better.

Re: Forumswide Secret Celestia X-Mas X-travaganza 2!
I just sent out my gift, or did I?
First option sounds good. As long as nobody accidentally stumbles upon your imgur upload, you should be fine and you'll be able to post your gift-opening ritual the same day as everyone else. Second option is is pretty good as well but I'd personally prefer if everyone posted their gifts around the same time so the thread can be spammed with everyone's awesome new stuff.Damathacus wrote:I have two solutions figured out.

Re: Forumswide Secret Celestia X-Mas X-travaganza 2!
I've ordered stuff for my Santee, now it's just a case of waiting for it to arrive. Or has it already arrived?
To my Santa: I've updated my original post with the shirts I bought from WLF's Black Friday sale (I have a problem! ). Hopefully you didn't buy any of them, but it's fine if you did.
To my Santee: I would have got you something from there as well, but I'm too cheap to pay for expedited shipping, so chances are the order will arrive after Christmas, and that wouldn't make a very nice present! Maybe I've got you a shirt from somewhere else instead, maybe I haven't and got you other things instead!

Re: Forumswide Secret Celestia X-Mas X-travaganza 2!
I was a bad Santee and spoiled myself a bit, because I had a gift card. So now I have Devil May Cry HD Collection, Gran Turismo 5 XL Edition, and Darksiders 2 Special Edition for Wii U. And a couple of CDs.
Rest assured I am being punished by having to download 8 separate patches for Gran Turismo. Right after I had to sit through a mandatory 2GB install. But I won't be buying myself any more swag, unless it's necessary stuff like groceries.
edit: Oh FFS, it has you do another 8GB install after the patches finish. This is worse than the Wii U patch was.
edit 2: An hour and 38 minutes to get to the main menu from start up, thanks to all the installs and patches and a user agreement. Forget coal, get your naughty santees this game and make them install it over and over again.

Please don't say what you got until the 25th of December. If you are away on holiday then You can probably write a PM to a moderator to post it for you at the right time.
Edit: haha, welp at least it's cleared up.

I don't own a Wii U, but unlike the other consoles, you can apparently hit cancel and the patch will then download in the background while you play your game.Paperback Writer wrote:edit: Oh FFS, it has you do another 8GB install after the patches finish. This is worse than the Wii U patch was.
Of course, this is bad for games where you really don't want to download the patch (like the Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed Wii U one that made a mandatory mission impossible to complete, not sure if they've re-patched it yet).

Re: Forumswide Secret Celestia X-Mas X-travaganza 2!
Sorry to be confusing, I was talking about one of the PS3 games I got, Gran Turismo 5. Sony in their infinite wisdom don't allow for background downloads of patches unless you have PS Plus, so I just put the game in and did other things while it installed and updated itself. I just didn't think it would take an hour and 40 minutes before I got to try playing the game.
But as the owner of a Wii U, I can vouch that it lets you do background downloading of normal patches. It just didn't allow for that with its first system update on launch day, which took an only slightly less awful hour and 20 minutes to d/l and install itself. Otherwise it's a big improvement on the way the PS3 does things.

I find that, when it comes to buying people Christmas gifts, I have a hard time stopping. I'll see something I think someone will like and be like "OH I HAVE TO GET THIS TOO".
I have a problem. A Christmas problem.

If I wasn't hindered by a very restrictive budget, I'd probably be waiting on about 15 different gifts to give out to family and friends right about now.
