The officially unofficial Giant Bomb Secret Santa!
" Maybe introductions might be a good idea. I'm pretty new to the forums, and it might make things a little better if we get to know each other a bit. "I need no introduction, but sure go ahead and spill your guts.
And one announcement: I'm seriously considering opening this up to include retail games, not just online purchases. Limiting it to online purchases might be too restrictive so that's why I'm considering it.
Cool, sounds good to me. Shipping within the states is pretty cheap for small DVD case boxes, so I think that would be doable.
I'm a 25 year old college student (aspiring cartoonist/comic artist) in Dallas, TX. I am into video games to the point where sometimes I think it might be unhealthy lol. My husband and I play games together every chance we get, thankfully he's into them almost as much as me.
I hope to finish school and snag a job somehow in the animation or games industry while I attempt to get published as a childrens book artist/author
I used to be a manager for Gamestop (past 6 years), and while it was annoying at times due to retail bullcrap, I enjoyed it overall.
My favorite genres of games are platformers, action adventure games, RPG hybrids, point and click adventure games and fighters. I have a PSP, PS3, 360, DS, and an iPhone. I used to have a Wii, but after about a year of not being turned on ONCE, I gave it to my dad for his birthday (he was wanting one for WiiFit lol).
Favorite games of the last decade include:
Shadow of the Colossus
Psychonauts
Uncharted I and II
Assassins Creed I and II
Borderlands
BioShock
Ico
Jeanne D'Arc
Metal Gear Solid 3
VAGRANT F-ING STORY
Gears of War I and II
Silent Hill 2/3
Lost Odyssey
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time
Knights of the Old Republic II
Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker
Jak III
Machinarium
Team Fortress 2
Final Fantasy XII
GTA IV
Valkyrie Profile
Odin Sphere
This year has been pretty stellar for games, and thank god for gamefly otherwise I'd have to hold off on Batman AA, Ghostbusters, The Saboteur, Dragon Age and so on.
Major rule changes!
- The Secret Santa is no longer limited to downloadable games and now we can also exchange full retail games. And just to let you know, DLC is also acceptable.
- I will split the list into 2 regions (NTSC, PAL) to avoid any possible confusion. So we could use some more Europeans and Aussies by the way.
I would join but money is something of a luxury to me right now and family comes first mind you. That may change but I'll say no for now. Sorry.
Hey Dalai, remember Thrawn from last year and his lame yet awesome giveaway. The bastard disappeared after he declared the winners.
You can call it sour grapes, because I did not spend a dime, but the dude bailed and I didn't get my prize. Lame.
" @TheGreatGuero said:Heh, I remember that giveaway that never happened." @Claude: Apparently he's still active on the forums if you want to hunt him down and beat some prizes out of him for great justice. "I'm over it. I've sent him a few PMs. They were nice, nothing nasty. Hell, I actually liked the guy. "
TWO DAYS LEFT! Time is running out!
