2018 Secret Santa Reveal thread

Secret SantaSecret Santa
in Everything Else
NOPE, IT'S CAPTMORGANDRINKER AGAIN!   (I was also the 2012 Secret Santa).



I even fooled other moderators.   B.A. and I were the only two of us that knew for sure.



There were 4 winning guesses from the other thread- Katchii was first, then Murray (my snek counts), Fleck586, and Boosted.   No draw needed, all 4 of you are gonna get something.



Pretty sure every participant should have something to open, even though the USPS tried their hardest to fuck us.



Just finished wrapping gifts and I'm halfway through Die Hard.   I'll post my goodies later.



Merry Christmas everyone!

    Damn, nice! You tricked me with your many spaces after periods.

    I tried to not use common phrases that I normally use (peeps, gonna, ...). I may have given myself away to Boosted when I replied "Sure thing!" to one of his messages to SS.



    The spaces may have been part of IE. I normally post in Chrome but stayed logged into the SS account with IE.

    Well, as always, thanks to the hard work you or any other Santa puts in to get this event going!

    Honestly wouldn't have ever guessed it was you again, good job to the fellas who guessed it! Anyway, it's late now so I'm gonna go to bed but I'll definitely post my goodies tomorrow morning, already opened my SS package as it's become a tradition in my household to open the NA secret santa package on Christmas Eve

    Awesome! Thank you, CaptainMorganSanta!



    Looking forward to opening my gifts tomorrow. My wife was cheap and said all the games I bought myself at Black Friday were my gifts, so my SS gift is all I'm opening. Looking forward to seeing the kids faces in the morning. The tree is fuller than it has ever been. Merry Christmas everyone!

    fcgamer was my Secret Santa, and he totally knocked it out the park. He hooked me up with not only a brand new SNES multitap, but he sent over all sorts of nice food and tea with a tea set, a Mario Kart mug, a ton of Famicom bootlegs (which I LOVE - I find them super fascinating), along with two Famiclones (and to share one with a buddy!)!! He also sent a really nice note explaining some of the games, and a preview of his book that he's working on (which I'm definitely down to pick up a copy when it's out)! This all came from two huge boxes to the USA from Taiwan, so it means a lot that he sent out so much stuff. Thank you so much Dave, I truly appreciate it.

    i accidentally opened my package when it arrived, thinking it was something else i had ordered. i was very confused until it clicked in my head. i think my Santa had his/her NA name on the return address, but my wife threw away the package so i apologize for not thanking you directly.

    in the package were three N64 games- one on my wish list (Banjo-Tooie), one (WCW/NWO Revenge) which i beat for the n64 thread this year, so i look at it a bit like a trophy, and one (Toy Story 2) which i have never played- maybe for the n64 2019 thread?



    this was a highlight of my xmas season last year and was an equally bright spot this year. thanks to Cap for running this whole thing, and thank you very much to my Secret Santa! Merry Christmas to all!!

    Got my package a few days ago and my Secret Santa sent me great gifts. These are all games that I didn't own and I'm very excited to get Star Ocean and Mario Vs Donkey Kong. Thank you to my secret santa for going above and beyond.

    Thank you captainmorgandrinker for running things

    LuigiM was my Santa, and they did and awesome job! I was shocked at how fast it got here and when it did, I immediately opened the package. I really enjoyed the Pokemon card and loved the Pikachu ornament. The wife and I actually got our first tree this year, and we made sure the Pikachu ornament was the first ornament on the new tree!   It was hard to wait until Christmas to open the two that were mark as "Open on Christmas", and I ended up waiting until right before Christmas to open those. I was so excited to see Rayman 3D and Bit.Trip Saga! I have been looking forward to playing both games for quite a while now but have had a lot of difficulty finding both in my area. I am sure I will be giving my 3DS some attention soon since I can't wait to play a new Rayman game and I can finally try out the Bit.Trip series after being intrigued by it for years now lol. Thank you so much for being an awesome Santa!

    Firstly let me say this, this was the best Secret Santa I've ever participated in.  I REALLY did think it was Captn but didn't say anything/ but the communication was fantastic even with the hang ups I encountered thanks to the SNOW!  



    The funny part was when I got my gift I searched in the thread I saw who my SS was.  I told my wife before I opened the gift I was super excited because he had pearler stuff for trade/ sale and I'm a huge fan of pearler stuff.  Sure enough I got one of the greatest gifts and Christmas has been made!!  Thank you so much!!

  • WalterWhiteJr.WalterWhiteJr.
    My Secret Santa was Murray. I am truly overwhelmed and beyond grateful at the amount of care and effort he put in. Murray -- thank you so much for making today such an extra special day. It means so much and is a testament to this community.

    Lando452 was my SS this year and I recieved a CB copy of Thunder Force II along with Tengen Pac-Man and Vindicators. These awesome games should keep me occupied for the next month or so.

    My Secret Santa was Punkr and damn did he kill it, a stack of games I didn't have yet, and all solid titles! and some awesome art on the shipping box.

    So I'd like to say thank you to whoever my Secret Santa is. I am overseas for the next few months so I will be unable to open it for a while. My wife told me it came a few weeks ago, so it arrived safely at the house! Once I get home and open it, I'll send a proper thank you!

    Nice job, cap. I bet it takes a lot to organize and track such an event.



    Merry Christmas to all!

    My NA-SS was senorchocotaco!  



    He sent me a RetroUSB homebrew I've had on my wishlist forever -and- sent me a super cool GB chiptune album I didn't even know existed (and have since read up about in a NA thread)!!!



    Thanks so much, man!  





    Oh, and thanks a ton CMD for another successful NA-SS!!!

    I got a package from the Netherlands, which made me excited because one of the things on my list was PAL Game Boy games that weren't released in the US. Inside were 4 individually-wrapped GB-game-sized packages!



    PAL exclusives WOOO!!



    My SS didn't identify themself, but since there was only one person from the Netherlands who signed up, I feel confident in saying Thanks Last1Up!!



    Playing Die Maus now. It's a neat isometric puzzler, unlike anything released in the US.

    I was your secret santa this year! I won't spoil the surprise for you, but I will say your list was a bit vague so I had to do a bit of research to determine what some good gifts would be. I like to think I did a good job, but I'll let you be the judge of that   Merry Christmas man, and feel free to PM or inform me however you want when you open your gifts, wanna see your reaction to them

    My SS was none other than JamesRobot! (The guy who has the power and reset buttons in his siggy that you all have clicked on at least once-- don't ever lie and say that you didn't! lol)



    Dude came through and got me the 2 games I needed and just had fun with the rest and HOLY COW did he go above and beyond. It was all Ninja Turtle and Dragon ball theme, and it was great! Dude got me over 100 Dragon Ball stickers, a note with Goku vs. Ninja Turtles, a Sonic light-up pixel thingie (looks awesome on my desk!) socks, mini figures and a pair of safety nunchucks (I actually used to practice nunchucks back in the day, this brought be back! lol)



    Thank you so much, man! This is amazing!! Merry Christmas!!  





  • ZeldaFreakZeldaFreak
    My Secret Santa was Shadowfire36! He got me the hardcover edition of The Legend of Zelda Encyclopedia, which I was really hyped for since I now have the complete trilogy of Zelda books, from Hyrule Historia, Arts & Artifacts, all the way up to the Encyclopedia now. Thanks a lot man, I really appreciate it!  



















    My only complaint was that I immediately guessed what it was just based on the shape of the box, but that just made me more hyped to open it up on Christmas Eve
