    *Compared to the next leading secret santa

    Hello and welcome to the 2013 Arcade and Retro secret santa!

    So it's that time of year again where most of us will receive endless supplies of socks, underwear and lynx gift sets, so why not look forward to something cool and take part in this years secret santa!

    So the way it works is everyone taking part buys a gift for someone but the recipient doesn't know who gave it to them until they open it. Just post here if you want to take part. Please include in your post a few things you'd like to receive or that you're looking for just so to avoid getting doubles of games etc. (Not applicable to Steve SI).

    Closing date for entries is the 30th of November, after that I'll put everyones name in a hat and draw your secret santas. I'll then send you a PM with your giftee and their details so you can post it to them if you won't be at the Christmas beers. No need to go mad on buying things as we all know Christmas is an expensive time of year so a suggested limit of €15 is all that's needed and homemade gifts are more than acceptable.

    Happy Christmas!!

    I'm in, happy to receive any game carts (NES would be nice) or any oddball stuff.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 52,413 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    I wouldn't mind radiant silver gun, pulse man, eliminate down, kizuna encounter (pal aes only), harmful park or Nintendo championship gold cart. Thanks!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,183 ✭✭✭✭Atavan-Halen


    I'm also in. Anything pokémon related, Sonic merchandise or any NTSC-J games is what I'm after.

    I say whoever gets Sparks should buy him Repton stuff, just so he see's how wrong he's been all this time....
    And, good luck with that list Retr0, I think you'd be better off wishing for a secret path into Mordor....

    I'll be joining in and hopefully not late again handing over pressies again lol.
    Try make sure I don't get Retr0 please.

    EDIT:
    I've a wishlist on Backloggery.
    Merch wise stuff from Sonic, Animal Crossing, anything with 8bit Pacman ghosts or Space Invaders on it.
    If it gets a bit late to have stuff posted idk just some off topic ideas (dunno if that's allowed), animal hats usually come back into high street shops for winter, Japanesey stuff (such Utada) or stuff with frogs, corgis, JRT or pugs on them.

    Would it be ok to add my 10 year old into this as well?

    If so she loves Hello Kitty Club Penguin and Moshi Monsters.

    She shall be attending the xmas beers if she is welcome :)


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 52,413 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    A more serious wishlist for me would be any ****e games so I can continue to plague Cidermans attempts at playing quality games at his beers and merchandising tat.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,183 ✭✭✭✭Atavan-Halen


    Just a reminder that there's only 9 days left to enter the secret Santa!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,258 ✭✭✭MrVestek


    Just to add that I'm in. Anything Sonic, Sega or Dreamcast related is fine by me. Even something small for modern consoles would do the trick quite nicely.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,790 ✭✭✭Jack burton


    Oh what I want....well anything Mega Drive related always goes down well with me but I'm not picky at all


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,183 ✭✭✭✭Atavan-Halen


    Going to close off entries for the secret Santa now, as the Christmas beers is on the 7th, so to allow a bit extra time to get gifts and whatnot. If everyone taking part could PM me their addresses so I can stalk pass on your details to your Santa in case they are not going to the beers.

    I'll draw the names tonight and PM you all with your giftees!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,183 ✭✭✭✭Atavan-Halen


    Secret Santas have been randomly drawn so I'm sending out the results now!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,183 ✭✭✭✭Atavan-Halen


    OK, all PM's have been sent out. If you have any questions for your giftees, PM me and I'll forward them on to keep it secret!

    Also don't forget if you haven't done so already, please PM me your addresses so I can forward them on in case you won't be at the beers.
