could you, if you have time, make a best off post of all the things people dont want to get sent ?

JJShadow · Nov 20, 2017

Wohooo we're almost there!

As promised, this is my Amazon wishlist. There's stuff quite expensive in it as well, so please just use it as a guideline for my interests/hobbies. Anything will be more than appreciated, even if it's not on that list.

StaffyManasse · Nov 20, 2017

It's happening!

nicoga3000 · Nov 20, 2017

Sorting through the entries. Should be done removing duplicates soon. Then I have to parse and start the fun of matching. THEN I get to send PMs. That actually takes the longest time because of how formatting works. Maybe RE simplifies this process...We'll see.

Also I don't think I mentioned this in the form. If you are from somewhere far far away me and my family would love a Christmas decoration from where you live.

I like this idea a lot. Same here.

Ludono · Nov 20, 2017

Awesome! Looking forward to this :)

nicoga3000 · Nov 20, 2017

In the future, folks need to be VERY careful with putting in their username. Changing something as simple as one uppercase or adding a space screws up stuff.

Hi Secret Santa, eventually :)

I put my Amazon wishlist in my form, but just in case here it is again. You don't HAVE to use the list, though I try to make the items a wide variety of price ranges in case you need something to pad it out. Or you can just use the list. It all works! Just note that I use the wishlist for things I buy myself as well and update it consistently... so if you're doing your shopping during Black Friday or Cyber Monday, just be careful on checking the list :)

Also, here is my Steam profile, and Backloggery profile for the kinds of games I like, and that consoles I have. (I'll add steam later today)

If you think I'll like something I don't have on my wishlist, go for it, I like surprises. :D I love art books of all types (not just gaming), I just don't have the energy to research much beyond whatever pops up on my Twitter feed, heh.

Should be a capital S if that matters. Sorry about that :/

TheZynster · Nov 20, 2017

god damn it, i saw this too late.....kill myself

I fixed it. There were a few of those, but there were also a few with magical spaces that messed up my list. I fixed it, but it worried me!

Macheezmo · Nov 20, 2017

157 participants. That's better than I thought it would be with a fresh new forum. It's like we never missed a beat.

Wiibomb · Nov 20, 2017

nice to see my old TT on the list!

thanks for the hard work nicoga...

GK86 · Nov 20, 2017

I hope I get GK86. I want to shop for that sexy beast.

nicoga3000 · Nov 20, 2017

So keep an eye on your PMs. A few of you did NOT fill out the address spot correctly and it's causing me a headache. If you get a PM and don't respond ASAP, you will be removed from the list as I will be unable to match you.

Mr. Snuffleupagus · Nov 20, 2017

I'm still adding things to an Amazon wishlist since I've seen others do it and I'm not sure if my form was detailed enough originally.

The list can be found here.

Loxley · Nov 20, 2017

Here's a link to my Amazon wishlist :) Sort of a grab-bag of books, movies, comics, and games.

But as others have said, please do not feel obligated to get anything on the list - it's more of a general guide than anything.

My XBL gamertag is BDYATH in case whomever gets me needs it.

Lafazar · Nov 20, 2017

The hell? I am not on the list, but I submitted the form. Damn, I was looking forward to this. I wonder what went wrong.

Thanks a lot!

Jonnykong · Nov 20, 2017

I hope I get the other Jonny on the list, just so I can have a quick chuckle to myself for 1 second that we have the same name.

AndyD · Nov 20, 2017

I won't make wishlists public on here at this point, but if my secret santa wants it, is there a mechanism to relay that message?

Violence Jack · Nov 20, 2017

Nic, I wasn't on the participation list, but I was among the first to submit the form when the thread started.

zetsubou · Nov 20, 2017

There was a different form at first

Did you fill out the form that was in the OP that gave your address and all that jazz?

another user may send you a PM on behalf of your SS

nicoga3000 said:

Yes I did. The one that I had to quote to get the link to the Google form. I can fill it out again if need be.

Ronabo · Nov 20, 2017

I sent you a PM nicoga3000

Sorry I messed up my address. Figures as I just moved to it less than a week ago.

It was the long questionaire, but that's OK. Nicoga got me squared away.

That's good.

nicoga3000 · Nov 20, 2017

I'm waiting for one PM to fix an address. Once I have that, I should be able to get moving on the matches.

Crap.. I didn't realize there was a second form to fill out.

Edwardo · Nov 20, 2017

Adding my Amazon wish list for my secret santa. Just for an idea of things I'm into.

Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/376EV6G3DA/?tag=era0f0-20

Lee Chaolan · Nov 20, 2017

Very excited. Can't wait to shop for my TT :)

Brau · Nov 21, 2017

Some ideas listed here for my SS :D With this week being Black Friday a lot of these will be with a good discount!

List of movies I don't have that plan on grabbing that might make a good gift.

Bluray 4K - HDR
Wonder Woman
John Wick
J̶o̶h̶n̶ ̶W̶i̶c̶k̶ ̶2̶
Lego Batman
Guardians of the Galaxy 2
Terminator 2
Any Batman from the Nolan Trilogy
Ghost in the Shell
Kong

Regular Bluray
Any Studio Ghibli film
Zootopia

Other ideas of games i want to pick that i have not picked up that would make for a good gift.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Yakuza Kiwami
Observer PC
Edith Finch
Destiny 2 PC
CoD WW2
Assasins Creed Origins PC or PS4
Horizon Zero Dawn
South Park: Fractured but Whole
Forza 7
Divinity Original Sin II PC

Digital code would work perfectly.

I think that's all. Just some ideas in case you don't want to be creative. Leaving this spoiler tagged just in case.

euricaeris · Nov 21, 2017

Just in case my SS needs a hand, some hints in increasing hinty-ness:

I use EuricaeriS everywhere, it's not hard to find me!

Twitter is the best place to see what stuff I'm into. You can also find me on Backloggery to see my gaming habits.

Pokemon is an easy win. I'm also into Godzilla films, j-drama, Japan in general. I follow some sports but not that closely, but if you're in the US then Jags stuff could be cool (saw them in London!). Love Rhythm games, though if you go this route you'll want to check my Backloggery to make sure I don't already have something. If you're outside of the UK, something from your country would also be fun :) Hopefully this is useful if you come to need it!

cyberninja · Nov 21, 2017

I don't have a wishlist , but I do plan on buying some things from Amazon and Gamestop eventually; therefore, a gift card would come in handy :-)

nicoga3000 · Nov 21, 2017

Got the last message I needed. Going to work on matches today!

Baz · Nov 21, 2017

I hope my secret santa is rich and my tiny tim is easily pleased.

Baz said:

Don't be like that.

Have fun giving and receiving. Don't expect things. Expect the unexpected.

aember · Nov 21, 2017

Oh damn it, I participated in the initial survey, then got swamped with work and forgot to sign up. Damn :( next year it is then!

nicoga3000 · Nov 21, 2017

So a buddy of mine gave me an idea....And it worked.

PMs will be coming sooner than expected thanks to new formatting!
