Dewar Posted December 18, 2014 I don't see any reason to wait to open, personally, but that's up to you I guess. UPS wants an arm and a leg to get a package there by Christmas at this point, so I sent it off today but it won't arrive until a week from Monday. I'm glad I'm on the only one running late. I've also been having arguments with Fed Ex trying to deliver a package for me, which I assume is my incoming gift. If they can't figure out where the apartment office is, I'll probably have to drive to the distribution center to pick it up on Saturday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coaxmetal Posted December 18, 2014 yeah I think its probably fine to open them, just be sure to post pics here. Ontrac has apparently had a lot of trouble delivering the one for me, I think I worked out how to get them to do it though. I havent' sent mine out yet because I'm waiting for another thing I wanted to send. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N1njaSquirrel Posted December 18, 2014 I sent mine today! I planned to open mine as soon as i got it too! I'm sorry if my present takes too long! It's not that far abroad, but i'll be amazed if it arrives before xmas! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coaxmetal Posted December 18, 2014 I got mine today!!!! It took a while because it was being delivered via ontrac and they are really bad at delivering to my office, Idk why amazon uses them, but I ended up working it out. It looks like its a book... Theres a note: Oooohhh wait, is it??? Holy shit yesssssss I have wanted this for so long but it was out of stock on amazon forever. Thanks so much!!!!!!! Oh man I can't wait to read through it. I love this game and this has a ton of concept art and character info and promotional renders that never got released. The world and art and stuff of bayonetta is so crazy and cool. Heres a few other pics: http://i.minus.com/i3EahdL6tBwFe.png http://i.minus.com/ibzgjbYElJKmjK.png Thanks Jon!!! (I don't actually know your forums name, but I figure its gotta be someone else that hangs out on IRC to see me yapping about bayonetta) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigJKO Posted December 19, 2014 Man, weird that Amazon decided to FORCE MY NAME onto the gift! I said to do no such thing. Stupid Amazon! :( So happy you're happy with it! I was afraid you'd either already have it or weren't into the art of the game, but hooray! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RubixsQube Posted December 19, 2014 S E N T as of this morning, via USPS. Here's hoping it gets there soon! I'm sorry, Secret Santee, for being late! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dewar Posted December 19, 2014 Hmm, so a package came in from Norway yesterday, pictures incoming this weekend, but then that really makes me wonder what the FedEx package is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prettyunsmart Posted December 19, 2014 Oh I revealed who I was in my grotesquely-scrawled Xmas Gift Poem. The card attached to mine does the same. I figured the secret part is the most relevant to the time before you get the gift. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Twig Posted December 20, 2014 cokes opened his gift which is making me want to open mine but I WILL NOT RELENT (well I'll probably open it on the 23rd, as I'll be working the 24th and then flying out after that to New Orleans and I'd rather not bring something to open on the 25th, but at that point why don't i just open it now i guess it's not like it really matters) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Twig Posted December 20, 2014 OKAY I DID IT! OKAY I DID THAT! O: Awesome! Thanks prettyunsmart, you're not that unsmart after all! I've been perpetually annoyed at the lack of The Simpsons on Netflix or Amazon Prime (because I don't want to use Hulu with ads because that's butt), and this solves that problem well enough. Hurray! Now I'm obligated to finally watch more than a few episodes of this show! And uh get a TV... I guess? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tegan Posted December 20, 2014 Oh man, season 4 contains some of the very best material of the show. I'm jealous that you're getting to experience it for the first time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gwardinen Posted December 20, 2014 All right, if we're doing pre-Christmas openings, here are my excellent Finnish presents: Sweet cards (I particularly like the owls): Hopefully not accurate view of Finnish cities on interesting novel cover: Curious comic book - actual book of comics à la Garfield: Example of a comic within: And finally, a bag of (possibly traditional?) Finnish sweets - open because I already tried one (it was weird): Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tegan Posted December 22, 2014 I just got a package in the mail! I'm gonna put it under the treeeeee. (even though I know what it is 'cause it's on the shipping label) (I dunno who sent it though) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N1njaSquirrel Posted December 23, 2014 Oh boy look what came in the mail! Open: What was written inside: What was inside: This is super awesome and cool! I'm looking forward to watching/reading them! Thanks a ton Gwardinen! (I dunno who sent it though) (I do) Edit: Put the longer pictures in spoiler tags so as to not take up the whole page! I am bad at pictures and sizing them and all that crap!

Blambo Posted December 23, 2014 My package came on my birthday! Also: I feel bad because the package I sent out is incredibly impersonal...I didn't even attach a card or wrap it due to forgetfulness and an envelope shortage. I hope it's cool! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
