9th Annual PXOD Secret Santa!

Recommended Posts

On time two years in a row! Post in this thread by November 22 to sign up, and by November 25 I will assign each person a giftee to rain generosity upon.
 
Rules:

  • Digital gifts only, typically Steam since it's the easiest to mess around with wishlists and gifting on. Other services/gift cards are fine though. There will be a separate wishlist thread to help you figure out what your target likes.
  • Make sure your Steam wishlist/other wishlists are up to date.
  • Suggested price of $10, though under or over is not against the rules. What this means is, don't expect a $60 gift--if your Santa gets you a $5 gift that's on your wishlist, that's all they're required to do. But if you're feeling ultra-rich or ultra-generous, we won't thumb our noses at higher priced presents.
  • Multiple gifts are fine, but by no means required.
  • Gifting period will officially commence alongside the Steam Winter Sale, which is rumored to begin December 19 this year. You can gift earlier though if you find a killer deal (or just can't restrain your excitement ?). 
  • Gifting deadline will be on or around the end of the Steam sale, which should be January 2. If you don't get your gift by then, message me.
  • No brand new members (signing up after this message) unless I or another mod approves you.

 

Have fun! Ho ho ho!

@Mal @Baconrath Well we've hit the deadline and it's just the three of us unless others sign up by the end of the day. So my question to the two of you is if it's still just the three of us do you want to do it? The way I see it we've got three options: go ahead with just the three of us, extend the deadline, or cancel. I'm game for whatever you guys think.

Alright, me, @Mal, @Baconrath, and @Mr. GOH! are the participants this year. I will assign targets shortly.

 

Since we have fewer people this year and less going on, I don't think I'm going to make separate threads like I have before. Just post your wishlist info post in here, and we'll do our thankyous here too.

Here's my wishlist post:

  • Steam ID:  TheMightyEthan, USA
  • Origin ID:  TheMightyEthan (apparently Origin profiles are only viewable through the Origin client), also USA
  • Epic ID: TheMightyEthan, also also USA. I do have a bunch of games on Epic that I got for free from them, so check that first. Also Control.
  • General criteria:  Just something that's either on my list or along those lines, or along the lines of other games I like.  I do prefer singleplayer over multiplayer as a pretty consistent rule. I do not like sports games or fighting games.
  • What are your favorite genres?  Probably action/adventure games, but I play pretty much everything.
  • What are your favorite games?  In no particular order:  Shadow of the Colossus, Batman: Arkham games, Dishonored, Mass Effect Series, Dragon Age Series, Halo, Gravity Rush, Red Dead Redemption, Bethesda RPGs, Civilization series, Zelda series, Mirror's Edge, Assassin's Creed, Prey 2017
  • Are you looking for any non-Steam gifts?  Any platform I have is fine with me. Checking out my Darkadia (link below) would give a good idea of what I play and what I already have on various platforms.
  • Will you take games not on your wishlist?  Yeah, if you really think I'll like it then go ahead, just should probably check my Darkadia account to make sure I haven't already played it on another platform. I do subscribe to the Xbox Game Pass on PC, so any game that's part of that probably isn't a good choice.
  • Any other information you think relevant? My Steam wishlist is not even remotely in order right now, although I will try to correct that.

Steam

 

Anything goes at this point but I guess no sports or fighting games since I suck at those. While my wishlist has been cleaned up but not reordered. If you think you know of a game that I might like, I'm totally down too. Bonus points if it's pretty or does something really well.

Soz I'm not in this. For one not been on here as much. For two, and it's the bigger one, I'm fine being a santa but honestly I don't game as much as I used to and wouldn't really want a gift that's likely to languish in my steam list for an age. Game wise in the short term I'm looking at what my bro gets for Switch and *fingers crossed* new house I can have a more permanent/better gaming set up.

So Saint Ethan understands the concept of the holidays.

Basically JSRF in all but name. After this though...

Yomawari (and its sequels) has been a game I always wanted to try out since it looks so adorably creepy.  I hope I don't regret this...

As for Death's Gambit... well, I'm going to die a lot. Very holiday like.

 

Thank you!

Bacon has gone insane with generosity, and I am the benefactor.

 

First is Civ VI: Gathering Storm, which means my Civ VI empire is finally complete!

Then, as if that weren't enough, he adds ACE COMBAT 7!

Finally, Ace of Seafood, which I've never even heard of but from what I can glean it involves fighting giant sea life, including fish that shoot lasers from their mouths and crabs that wield lightsabers, so I dig it. ?

Thank you Mr. GOH! for the bonus gift of Disco Elysium! I had kind of forgotten about this game, but it looks amazing. I hear there's no combat, which sounds incredibly refreshing, and I look forward to playing it!
