UPDATE: the Not-So-Secret Santa blog is up and running at http://www.rfgeneration.com/blogs/zagnorch/NOT-So-Secret-Santa-2013-Twice-as-Nice-2666.php

Hey now, everybody!

Just letting you know that my third annual Not-So-Secret Santa (formerly the Holiday Give-Away) will post on Sunday, 1st of December at 5:00 PM US Pacific Coast time. I will post a link to the blog here as soon as it goes live!

Aside from the renaming (courtesy of NES_Rules), this year’s event is gonna be different in that you’ll get to choose TWO items! That’s right, I’ve built up so much stuff this year, you get to take away twice as much! Pick one from Column A, and one from Column B!

Here's a heads-up on the NSSS rules:

-   Just 1 item from each column per person.
-   The first person to claim the item in each column gets it.

All RF Generation members are welcome to take advantage, even international ones. Just be aware that, that unless otherwise noted, all games being given away are NTSC U/C coded for use in machines for the North American market.

As for shipping costs: I’m covering it. Just note that I’m gonna be mailing this stuff out using the cheapest shipping methods possible, so it might be a while before it gets to you.


Rules on how to make your claims:

-   Take note of the number of the item in each column you desire (if still available), and...

-   Post your picks in the Not-So-Secret-Santa blog’s comments section.

I’ll then send you a PM informing you of your successful claim, and either requesting your mailing address, or confirming the one I have on file.


Feel free to post any questions about the Give-Away on this thread.

Thank you for your attention, and happy holidays!

Just remember that you can do programmatic release for blogs. Want me to check if you can still publish to front page?

I have had some issues with that, as well as other things. PM with specifics sent.


Good, bad, or indifferent, please help me get this stuff out of my house, for the love of God!

I have one more in my possession. However, it's...

Hey, maybe we should add the Gamer Graffix Van Halen Frankenstein-design guitar controller skin to the checklist of items every RF Gentleman needs to be a cool kid on the site, along with:


- Sega 32X add-on

- Odyssey^2 system

- That submarine game (CIB, natch)


Then there's the platinum-status item: the Vectrex!


Whattaya think of that? Huh? HUH?!

ANSWER ME, DAMN YOU!!! [img width=110 height=96]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/MadBil_zps96feb814.jpg[/img]

Hey now!

Sorry about it coming up late; for some reason it didn't show up at the time I programmed it for. Well, better 'Late than never.

Hey now,

If there's anybody reading this-- which I doubt-- I have officially concluded this year's Not-So-Secret Santa.

I'll let you know when all gifts have shipped.

Best Holiday wishes...


'Late

Wait....what just happened? Did I just miss a chance for a free game?  ???  :'(

'Fraid so, bud. Better luck next year.

And just so everyone knows: I've shipped out most of the U.S. packages, but am still in the middle of packing up the overseas-bound stuff.

-'Late

Thanks again Lord Zagnorch, King of the Skylanders!

Hey now everybody,

I finally sent out the rest of the claims, to techwizard and jcalder8. My apologies for all the delays, guys. While I doubt you'll get your goods before Christmas, I hope they'll put you in a warm fuzzy holiday mood when you get them.

Special thanks to all those who participated. I hope to see you all again next year!


'Late

My items arrived today! Thank you Zagnorch!

mine came in today, thanks zagnorch! i like the extra you added too ;)

I got the package yesterday! It looks great! Thanks again

i got mine weeks ago,  but haven't had a chance to thank you, so thanks again

Even though i didn't participate Zag was still kind enough to send me a copy of MK for Gameboy and a MK Strat Guide/Walkthru that if i do already own isn't in nearly as good condition.

More importantly though he sent me this:

Sadly i have not been able to pose with it yet as every time i lift it i inevitably yield my good intentions to its awesome power and ban/smite to my hearts content (much to the regret of my loved ones.). I do believe this hammer may truly contain a part of the Soul Edge.

Amazing!

Hmmm, RFG logo used without permission...
Looks like Zag will be picking up the server tab for the next 40 years after the lawsuit.

Technically, it's Den's logo. ;)

He had already thought about that:

EDIT
Dunno why i can't get it to look right in this post... Slideshow has it facing right.... Whatev

Oh, um, errrr... you mean the RF Gen logo isn't in the public domain? Eh heh heh... *COUGH*
