AverageOliver98 | 731 Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 First off I'd like to thank @captmorgandrinker(who's hearing this for the third time from me) and everybody else participating and/or helping from the shadows for making this wonderful event come to fruition. Second... I'd like to point out that I'm not big on Star Wars... but that won't stop me from saying that the painting on my package is the one of the greatest things I have ever seen. Opening the mailbox to find this inside was one of the highlights of the year for me(goes to show how boring I am... oh well). And the contents are just as wonderful(of the Classic MM's, 8 and Bass are the only ones I haven't played so super happy for 8). A big thank you to my Secret Santa, who may or may not be Punkr13? (based on something mentioned this year plus scouring 2018's Reveal Thread... I could be very wrong though) Merry Christmas/Happy Hanukkah/Any Other Holiday That's Celebrated Now or in the Near Future VGS! 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperJimtendo | 1,210 Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 My secret santa was @KokiriChild some ps2 games I didn't have and a dreamcast game I didn't have plus some rad pokemon cards. I absolutely love the drawing that was included in the card. I'm usually the one giving away artwork so I always love receiving some. Thank you very much and merry Christmas. As mentioned already the colorado crew got together and opened gifts as a group which was a really great time and something fun to be a part of that not many other na-ers could have done. @Murray @JamesRobot and @Richardhead. Peep that bag of organic fixed cauliflower and the fireplace on the tv in front of the actual fireplace! Merry Christmas VGS 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fleck586 | 328 Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 My secret santa was @bluzebrother11 and he got me just what I asked for! A nice lot of SNES commons and some random Zelda goodness! The cookies were a nice touch too. Thank you!! Merry Christmas!! 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordyRamone | 30 Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 (edited) Thanks so much secret Santa. My daughter loved the gudetama drawing on the package. When I opened the package the only thing I could see was the lump of coal. That was a funny touch. I am very happy. I love this tradition! Big thanks to the organizer @captmorgandrinker Merry Christmas everyone! Edited December 25, 2019 by JordyRamone 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray | 2,484 Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 First I would like to give a big shout out to @captmorgandrinker for pulling off another great year. Hope you enjoyed that Baileys buddy you deserve it. My Secret Santa was also a secret this year and boy did they hit it out of the park! I’m truly amazed at the level of thought that effort went into this gift. I have never owned a comic book before so thank you for making my first extra special! Always a great time hangin' out and drinkin’ whiskey with the Colorado Crew. @Richardhead @JamesRobot @SuperJimtendo Thanks again Santa! Please feel free to toss me a PM so I can thank you personally. Judging from the liquor store receipt tucked away neatly in the bottom of the bag, you got great taste in booze! Now if you will excuse me I’m going to fire up the ol PS1 and start playin’ space! Murray Christmas everyone! 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captmorgandrinker | 1,654 Administrator · Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Glad to do it! I wasn't planning on doing it again this year, but with all the kerfluffle with the NA stuff, I knew we needed to get Secret Santa off to a great start here on VGS. It'll be a different Santa next year, but I'll always offer a helping hand to future Santas. Also thank you to all of you for shipping things on time and only having to chase after a couple of you. 5 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwlLicks | 28 Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 So I'm 99% sure my Santa was Murray, and DUDE you KILLED it! I appreciate you buying about half of the list I sent off, but a hand-painted Demonhead canvas too?! I don't keep a lot of art around my games, but I made an exception for Clash at Demonhead years back because it's a favorite, and now I'm making another exception. (These will get onto the wall proper soon!) Murray Christmas everyone! 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalterWhiteJr. | 1,205 Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Thanks Cap! Huge shoutout to @twiztor for my awesome Zelda goodies!

acromite53 | 338 Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 @oshf Great! I'm glad you liked it! I saw you wanted to start collecting GB. Have a great Christmas! @8-bit_boice Wow! Thank you so much! The card was very nice. Thank you for all the games. And yes I still am into NES! Now my Ikari set is complete and I always wanted to play NES Qbert. I also somehow always missed All Stars. I'll have fun with these for sure. Have a great Christmas and thanks again! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foochie776 | 1,069 Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 I don’t have the games with me currently but @gutsman004 knocked it out of the park. He got me several (if not all) the games I’d mentioned wanting and the condition is fantastic. Added several NES and Genesis games to my fleet. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splain | 2,701 Editorials Team · Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 @spacepup had my name, and he was VERY GENEROUS. Everything was beautifully wrapped and padded; the packages in the picture contained smaller wrapped gifts, all peppered with Nintendo character stickers. I love Game Boy, I'm collecting lots of various subsets, and I'm thrilled to add all this to those collections! Thanks a million spacepup. Wayyy above and beyond. 10 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were my SS and you got me a bunch of titles on my list so thank you! Also,I just realized I forgot to put one of your games in the box so I will send that out before the end of the week so be on the lookout. Here is the pic of the gaming goodness and a bonus pic of my video game tree. All ornaments hand made by me. Thank you Secret Santa and everyone else involved with making this event so amazing.

Im inching closer and closer to a complete nes set. Also some little ninja and mech muscle men, poo pourie and a kiss condem gave me a chuckle. Also thanks capn for organizing this this year.

Pretty pumped because I was needing some motivation to start working on completing unlicensed subsets that I don't have and Tagin' Dragon was just that! Thanks SS! Phew, glad you liked it! @8-bit_boice I was your Secret Santa this year, hello I try to go for quality over quantity as best I can with these, and hopefully you're OK with that. Took me a lot of narrowing down to do, I looked through your whole collection, looked at all the unlicensed ones you didn't have, and I was getting a bit worried as I was nearing the end, and all the potential contenders either had no good condition ones online, or they were just barely out of my budget, but thankfully near the end of the list, I arrived at Tagin' Dragon, found a good priced one in very good condition and managed to snag it. I would've loved to get you one of the 6-in-1's or something like that, and I totally would've, but that just doesn't fit within my budget unfortunately. Still though, hopefully this is an alright compromise I know you keep your collection very up to date, but I consistently had this irrational fear in my mind of "Oh god what if the collection is wrong, what if he already has this one and I sent him a double, oh no" but thankfully that didn't turn out to be the case! Hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year man, you deserve it, as do all of the rest of you folks in this thread I'll get to posting the gift I received here in just a bit. Also, I will add to what everyone else is saying by also thanking @captmorgandrinker for hosting this year's Secret Santa once again, did an absolutely fantastic job with it, as always Anyway, hope all you folks drink plenty of 'nog, maybe light a fire, and have an alright time with your family and/or friends. Or hey, maybe spend it alone, nothin' wrong with that. Spend the time in whatever way makes you happy! Last holiday season of the decade after all, gotta make it a good one! Cheers to you all, and cheers to the 2010's, on to a new and exciting decade. Let's make it a good one! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
