About Me


I joined up Dtoid a while back, left for a while, and now I'm partially back. Kinda.

I love fighting games, shmups, chocolate milk, things that are bad for you, and drinking games.

Deadline for Secret Santa Admissions tomorrow night!
Cataract | 8:03 PM on 11.24.2008 16 comments


Well, it seems the last chance for some of you Grinches to come over to the side of awesome, gift giving (and receiving), light is coming to an end...soon.

Tomorrow night at 11:59 EST marks the deadline for the First Ever Extremely Unofficial Dtoid Secret Santa! I prefer to call it FEXUDSS for short, it just seems to roll off the tongue! For those of you who live under a rock/in a cave/ on top of a mountain/somehow associated with a stone of any form, just send me an e-mail at necronauts@gmail.com, and send me your address, whether or not you want to ship overseas, and a short list of things (or what kind of things) you'd want.

Now, if you happen to have some choice gaming swag, or maybe a game or two that you'd want to pass on, go for it, as long as it's something relevant to the other person. This means no turds in a box, and no scratched up old copy of Madden '05.

Also, once you sign up, you are committed to this. I don't want to have to hunt you down and kill you, my semester ends the 12th of December, which doesn't give me a lot of time to be merry, let alone shop for others/

Now don't suck and sign up!

Also, here's the original blog, in case you have any questions: http://www.destructoid.com/blogs/Cataract/dtoid-secret-santa--111876.phtml

I don't mean to hype the FEXUDSS, but man, whoever is getting my gift package is going to be one glad gamer! I have some sweet stuff to send out, so just hope you get paired up with me!

@Rab

This is why I ask people to say whether or no they can ship overseas in the email, this way I try to match those people up first with people who are overseas. If people can't ship overseas, then I'll keep them in either US or Canada.

However, in the event that we have more people overseas then people willing to send overseas, I'll send out a mass e-mail to everyone asking if someone wouldn't mind the extra cash. That, or I may end up sending them something myself. I've been trying to avoid getting myself involved too much, but oh well.

You should probably set a price minimum/cap. So no one feels like they've been ripped off. Minimum is more important than a max though, as people feeling extra generous can spend as much as they want.

I believe I stated it in the original blog, although i may be wrong, but I believe I set the minimum at either $10 or $15. I may have addressed it in the comments, not the actual blog.

But yeah, good point, nintendoll.

Also, are pants optional now? Because I'm a never nude, and can't really get down like that.
