i THINK THE GREAT THING ABOUT THIS ISN'T PUTTING TOGETHER A LIST OF GAMES YOU WANT BADLY. iT'S GETTING A GAME YOU WOULD NEVER PLAY. tHOSE GAMES ON YOUR LISTS ARE GAMES YOU WOULD MOST LIKELY BUY AND PLAY ANYWAY, SO WHY NOT GET A GAME SOMEONE ELSE LIKED AND TRY IT OUT.

i THINK THAT'S WHY THIS IS GREAT, BECAUSE YOU END UP TRYING NEW THINGS. i WOULD NEVER HAVE PURCHASED wORLD OF gOO MYSELF, OR EVEN TRIED IT, BUT THIS GAVE ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET OUT OF THE NORMAL. aND THAT GAME WILL ALWAYS STICK OUT TO YOU IN YOUR COLLECTION AS THE sECRET sANTA GAME(S) YOU RECIEVED.

i PLAN ON SENDING ONE GAME TO EACH PERSON WHO'S FRIEND CODE i GOT BECAUSE i WANT EVERYONE TO TRY SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT THIS HOLIDAY. pLAY A GAME THEY WOULD NEVER PLAY. sO THANK YOU SUPERCHUNK FOR GIVING ME A GAME i WOULD NEVER HAVE PLAYED, BUT ACTUALLY LOVE NOW THAT i TRIED IT.

tHANKS NONAME.

You're welcome. Its a great game and I saw you had a few other puzzle type games like a few Tetris' etc, so I thought it would be a good addition to your library. :)

I finally sat down to add my secret santa codes tonight (work has been brutal this week, Santa brought the office a burst pipe just a few weeks after he brought my closest co-worker a pink slip), and I was surprised to find two gifts already waiting for me. Turns out that my secret Santa this year was my Tiny Tim last year.

I guess these things are bound to happen when you keep drawing from the same small community. It brought a smile to my face. My Tiny Tim is a new code, so hopefully it goes through overnight so that I can keep this cyclone of joy spinning around.

You don't say!

Note to noname: THis is not what happened.

Famousringo had my name added from the Metroid Prime Trilogy Friend Voucher thread, is all. This little blip was no fault of yours.

And I don't think either of us has our feelings hurt by the knowledge, so no harm done. ....R-right?

Update!

This turns out to have been a confused fabrication of my delirious brain. Khuutra wasn't my Tiny Tim last year, but I added his code from his Metroid Prime Trilogy thread and he happens to have the exact games that I gave my Tiny Tim of yesteryear (whose identity I shall never reveal!).

Man, I need some time off work.

Damn, this is annoying. Ninty service here in Australia has gone to the dogs... I haven't been able to do anything consistent for the last few days.

Sorry Tiny - I tried sending you your game... no luck. I'll try again tonight...

...and I couldn't even get the gifted game :(

Notifications of gifts go through WiiConnect24, right? I figured out who my secret santa is (not hard. the one of the four codes that cross-confirms, and then use the nifty forum search function to run it back to the code's owner), and according to this thread, he/she's already sent something, but i haven't seen anything yet.

 

Currently waiting for my roommate to wake up, so i can send mine without bothering him.

 

EDIT:
That's done. Hope you enjoy tactical RPGs! Merry Christmas!

None at all, the thought never crossed my mind.

A lot of gifts were given today? Isn't?

 It was a busy day indeed, and that's how I like it!

That's not entirely correct. Most of my santa's have cross-confirmed. It may be that the others just haven't added you yet.

Got my gift a couple days ago but my Tim still hasn't put his codes in yet.   Still lots of time before Christmas though.

Also, I'd like to thank Fossil: you didn't have to, but I appreciate that you did. Thank you!
