The 10th Annual GNamer Forum Secret Santa~! ***WELL, HERE WE ALL ARE NOW, ALL THE LADS***

...Smurf's Santa! Merry Christmas Treesmurf!

This was meant to be better, or possibly worse, depending on which machines you have and how much you really do like retail versions of games you already own. At the same time as I ordered the God of War keyring and the chocolate genitalia, I ordered Goat Simulator 3 Pre-Udder Edition. It never arrived, so you got an emergency Man City teddy bear instead and I'm stuck in eBay Refund Request Hell. Anyway I hope you liked your eventual haul!

I want to say mine's a Buska special, but that's mostly due to the sparkling water which might have been a different gift altogether.

Masofdas!

Surely by now the NGamer DVD is the giveaway - I’ve put one of those in every secret Santa since I first took part. I’m finally starting to run out, I think I’ve got one left.

There’s been no real bargain hunting involved with those gifts to be honest. When I drew you as my recipient I knew that it was only right to balance things out after you’d put that massive Genki Video Games order for me last Christmas. I was amazed that I could get such a nice condition copy of Capcom Vs. SNK for a reasonable price after seeing that you’d put it on a list of GameCube games you were still after in the summer. The Sonic pins and chocolate bar brought my spending up to around the same as what I think you paid for my Secret Santa last year. I’ll behave myself and limit it to £15 next year.

Buska who'd like to have got more but being limited to Amazon JPN meant my £15 didn't go far.

I remember you saying you got a Japanese 3DS, hence the random 3DS game which made it up to £15 and it had the best reviews of the ones around that price.

Andyman's Santa! I was a little on edge about it getting there on time as it took a good couple of weeks for the Kiryu Kup to arrive but I'm glad you like it. I have to ask if that's all you got? There should have been some Mosnter Hunter control stick grips in there too and I'm hoping they didn't get mixed with the wrapping paper or something as the packaging for them wasn't particularly weighty. I should apologise for the cursed badges too but you can be safe in the knowledge I've also cursed family members with some of those so its a compliment really.

Hopefully eBay can sort their shit out for you, I'm all too aware of the pains of dealing with them, still they may have done you a favour as I bizarrely already own a retail copy of it.

All except the cock have been put to good use so far, the Chaos Blade is the right amount of sharp to help with all the toy boxes I've had to open in the last few days and my daughter has already started taking Kevin De Bearne to bed (I've later realised I should have named it Bearnardo Silva (sorry, yes I know neither of those names mean anything to you)).

Yep, Balla.

The other day I received a can of Jigglypuff sparkling water in the post!  I can only imagine one person who would have sent it to me, but I didn't know if it was part of GNSS or something else?  Anyway, thank you mysterious sender, I'll report back on how it tastes!

EDIT: Shockingly it tasted like peach-flavoured sparkling water!

MATE! What are you doing opening it before Christmas, let alone DRINKING IT?

In my defence I had no idea the pop was part of the SS until I'd opened it!  It arrived wrapped in a cardboard tube with absolutely no signs of what it was (possibly I missed Japanese postal markers or what have you, but definitely no 'THIS IS A SECRET SANTA THING' message).  

And I guess once I'd opened it there didn't seem much point in keeping it around yes okay in retrospect at that point I should've left it until Christmas.

Yeah I was Cappa's Santa Baby
