I did request only Physical games as i have a bad laptop.

My backloggery is up to date but it doesn't have all my steam games which are located here http://steamcommunity.com/id/Slurmee/games/?tab=all obviously don't buy me a game I already own on steam.

No i won't accept steam games. Just showing my santa my steam list in case s/he decides to buy something like Dragon Age Origins on PS3 when I already own it on Steam but haven't added it to my backloggery (because not all my steam games are on my backloggery list)

Slurmee brings up a good point, but rather than worry about it, I'm going to suggest we temper our expectations accordingly.

We have people participating from all over Canada and the US, the UK and Europe, and Australia. Some of you may get gifts from Secret Santa, but some of you may end up getting gifts from Secret Baby New Year. :) The important thing is to remember the spirit of the holidays, and to enjoy the spirit of community and friendship we've built up here.

Happy holidays, folks! :neon:

Just a reminder that this is still happening and, as Kong said, that physical gifts might show up late.

I submitted my address so if Santa wanted to send me a physical present I can take it late (day of kings is like January 6th)

I got my gift and opened it today.

I got Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective. Never heard of it before but looking interesting something I normally won't play so should be fun.

My secret santa was.
Spoiler
Han Solo, so thank for the gift and hope you have a merry Christmas and happy holidays and enjoy whatever your santa gave or will give you.
Putting spoiler tags so people who haven't gotten there gift don't know who's already given gifts I'll un spoiler it around new years.

---

Also I messaged the person I'm giving my gift to so please reply to my message as I need to email your gift to you.

Good idea with the spoiler tag, Slurmee! It's probably wise for us not to guess each other's Secret Santas until everyone has chimed in that they've received something. :)

Weird situation, I send my gift via Steam but since my victim presentee has some odd Steam settings, I don't know if he has even seen it.
There seem to be some trading restrictions active on his side. From what I read, the presents may spend some time in a void until Steam decides he waited long enough. Currently they are rotting away in my inventory.... :cry:
