My package arrived late last week, and it KILLED me to put it under the tree and wait until Christmas morning, but I have to say that it was cool doing so, because the anticipation reminded me of the Christmases of my childhood. I got up this morning and tried to wait as long as I could to open it up (I was trying to wait until my wife got up, but she didn't) but a man can only kill so much time by doing chores, so it was time. I had not one, but two presents from fellow PCEFXers arrive this week, and they both went under the tree for xmas morning opening.
First, Secret Santa:
I know who my SS is, but I'll leave him anonymous unless he wants to out himself.
The box. Damn that's a lot of stamps! And check out the Christmas-themed packing tape! And are those Sparky stickers? I used them in my secret santa-ing this year, as well.
3 presents, all wrapped! Let's assume that the two smaller items are turbobs, but what about the bigger present? There could be anything in there! I have my theories, but let's see what happens...
Sweet, interestingly sweet, and super sweet! Knight Rider Special, still sealed! (Not for long). I know the game gets panned by most everybody, but I was addicted to that show when I was a kid, so I think the game is cool just for nostalgic reasons. Gomola Speed is not a game with which I am familiar, so that will be interesting to check out. The Brothers Duomazov hated it, but theirs seems to be the minority opinion, and I love action puzzle games. My theory about the big box was wrong, but in a good way. The list I submitted may have been a "want" list, but controller extension cords were more of a "need" item, as every time my buddy comes over for some turbo time, we practically have to sit in each others laps. I actually forgot that I asked for these, which makes them even cooler. Definitely an awesome gift! Thanks very much, Mr. Secret Santa!
I also received a little bit of packagey goodness from Opie, but since it was so close to Christmas, I decided to torture myself and put in under the tree next to my SS package.
I've already decided to go out on a high note by never entering a raffle again. (I'll still raffle stuff off, though). You can't tell in the picture, but the jewel case didn't survive the trip, which I took as an excellent excuse to put the game into a new jewel case with a white tray. I'll definitely be digging into this game sometime in the next few days. Thanks again to both Opie and The Old Rover for this one!
