Secret Santa 2016
-
my secret Santa was Ian (visian)
He got me a sweet BMW ///M mug, which goes perfectly with my BMW coffee table. He also gave me an n64 USB controller and emulator (on a flash drive)! He also says something else is coming that he had problems with damage in shipping so I'm excited to see that that is. Thanks Ian!
I've been playing some Mario Kart 64, Goldeneye, and Crusin World USA while browsing the forums:
Also included with the emulator was a pile of other classics like Star Fox 64, Super Smash Bros, Mario Golf, Paper Mario, and 1080 Snowboarding.
my gift to was delivered to its recipient on December 20th, and they have posted in this thread since then, so I hope they got it! (I'm a little worried they didn't)
That's awesome! I would kill to play 1080 Snowboarding again...

I swear that if this is 2 years in a row that I don't get a present...
Is this kept track of, so the offending party can't join next year? We could start a gofundme account!
-
I sent mine yesterday. I suck, I know.
...had to wait until after Christmas so I could re-gift my shitty presents
-
Mine said it was delivered on the 22nd.

Just received a package in the mail today.
A recipe for bread
4 10mm sockets( can't ever have enough)
And a Bmw cellular device (sprint is refusing to hook services up to said device)
Thanks ray!

That is actually a magic spell that spawns an E30 M3. You must be completely naked except authentic DTM driving boots and gloves, and be standing behind a bakery that specializes in German style pretzels.
...
I've had mix results.
Cheers

Am I the only one that still has an N64? I've got 1080 snowboarding, Mario Kart, Turok, Golden eye, NFL QB club 98 and a few other games.

I hit up the online NES and SNES emulators once in a while but playing on a computer keyboard is dreadful
Step 1 - the m/f USB extension is in case you have a computer attached to your tv and you want to play from the couch. The cord on the mars controller is 6ft.

I do but it's in permanent residence at my parents house, joint sibling custody is hard. Plus with emulators you can save at any point and do other things not available on the console. No cartridges, and games from n64 are about 10-20MB so you could DL the entire Nintendo 64 library of games if you wanted! Still looking for a good version of Ken Griffey Jr Baseball though.

What about that satisfying feeling of pushing the cartridge in the console and hearing it snap in? And having all of those cartridges laid out in front of you and picking your favorite to plop in there. There's so much nostalgia!

Very true, no substitute for the real thing. The nostalgia is definitely missing a bit, trust me you're talking to the guy who just pulled all his 90's lego sets out of the basement to rebuild over the holidays haha
