Previous thread >>78354763
Gremlins starting soon, to be followed by gremlins 2.
http://vaughnlive.tv/elusive
I promised I'd post some more Christmas comics, and we'll carry on with one of my favourite festive tales...
If someone could get me one of these things, literally anything, I'll be the happiest neet in the world. Pls
AZFH70F7T1QO
Also r8 my list
I...I'm starting to think it's not coming....
Thanks, random anon, but...sad christmas....
I got gifted over two weeks ago and nothings arrived.... weird
I was really stoked on that book
is there a way to check the package's progress?
>>78388065
Courier services are always stretched thin over the holidays.
>>78388106
The people who ordered the item can track it... if the courier allows tracking.
>tfw I gifted two, and neither courier allows tracking
We were at 100% gifted, that's 236 noted gifts, there's a few lists that weren't added since were for kids and spouses. So really we're at 242 gifts so that's really 102%.
But we've had 3 new lists tossed out in this and the last thread so we're still sitting at 99%. Oh and we've got 14 wishlists with issues such as address or settings.
>>78384635
>>78384721
I've sent out 11 gifts, $7(for an international anon living in the boonies) on shipping due to prime and prime trials on the international sites. and 136.42 in total.
>>78388106
You can call/message amazon. They can't tell you who bought for you but they can look into purchases in your wishlist. Some times they can check the tracking and possibly reship if it's lost.
Incidentally, A Merry Murdoch Christmas is pretty damn good if you like turn-of-the-century historical whodunnits
>>78384635
HOHOHOH time for numbers!
Total Orders | Country | Shipping Costs (USD) | Taxes (USD) | Taxes (Localized) | Total Cost (USD) | Total Cost (Localized)
24 | US | 0 | 14.68 | 14.68 | 276.63 | 276.63
3 | UK | 0 | 0 | 0 | 33.91 | 21.62
2 | ES | 0 | 0.84 | 0.77 | 22.59 | 0.03
1 | DE | 0 | 0.62 | 0.57 | 11.36 | 10

Totals
33 | NaN | 13.97 | 17.13 | NaN | 392.15 | NaN
It does appear I'm missing some as the Argentinian was more, but I forgot all the Amazon sites so sue me! So for a text summary we have 7 countries, possibly 33 Anons gifted with an average total gift cost of $11.88, with an average shipping cost of $0.42, an average taxation cost of $0.52. Merry Christmas /co/!
>>78388411
>>78384635
Oh and some other random numbers we've had 3107 views on the ungifted wishlist pastebin and 160 views on the full wishlist pastebin.
... THIS is one of my favourite Christmas stories. I considered skipping the Barks story, then I remembered that it's a Barks story.
Wooooow, so I stopped back home for lunch and turns out I got a parcel from France for the /co/ secret santa pool I was in! I was completely convinced I was going to get grinched in this so I'm blown away that I got such a big package from so far away.
Gonna open it on xmas eve along with the /toy/ ss parcel I received. Just looking at the customs description has me super hyped for this.
>>78388547
That's awesome man!
And thanks for the advice.
Xsplit works much better.
>>78388624
Yeah I found its pretty idiot proof as long as you set your media files up in advance
Holy Christ guys. That is some serious gift giving. This year has been so impressive.
I've had less people to exchange presents with in 2015 - so from one anon to all of /co/ - this has been a lot of fun - I've really enjoyed these threads.
Merry Christmas everyone.
Looks like my last list shill: 289CEA8I2RAER uk
>>78387762
>refuses to load unless amazon ad system is trusted
>used mgid
Shit. This sucks, just a few days ago it was fine, if not horrendously shady.
>>78388652
And I am a pretty big idiot stream-wise.
And of course, I couldn't post this comic without including this letters page. I'll post my final Christmas comic of the year in a while... I need to catch up on my Steam library - I've finally got over 100 games, and I've played about 12 of them.
>>78388706
>Finally broke 100
It gets worse my friend good luck.
Return-gift guy from last thread, here's my wishlist if anyone is feeling kind. OACZ7DIALZAA
Good evening, friends!2MOV0MGY5304Hhere! Here's a fun couple of questions for everybody: What was the best gift that you received from anyone in the thread, and what was your favorite to send out? I absolutely adore the issue of Kamandi that The Riddler sent to me, and the most satisfying gift to send was the Flash book that I got to send to Zum's daughter. Gifting kid lists always puts me in the Christmas spirit.
>>78388547
I was really tempted to keep the stuff I received for opening on Christmas but unfortunately I thought it was something I ordered myself.
Maybe amazon put something on the packing label to show its a gift but I didn't spot it.
It'd be nice to have /co/ gifts under the tree.
>>78388771
I think one year I gifted Curious George to an Anon, if that actually happened other than your Kammandi that was probably the most satisfying gift to send. Getting wise would probably be the one I got last year from a kind Anon. It was nice to get Saga and start a series I was curious about.
>>78388771
Gifted someone Prophet Vol. 1.
That was one of the first gifts I got years back too.
So, that was fun.
>>78388411
I just called them and they said it was delivered but it wasn't.....
and I'm certain because I've personally checked the mail everyday for two weeks
>>78388771
I have enjoyed all the gifts that people get me, simply because I genuinely don't expect anything. I guess my favourite gift that I've given was the copy of Dracula to an Anon in Sweden; like me, they didn't expect anybody to actually gift them.
>>78388828
Well they should have offered to resend the gift if you could confirm the address it was shipped to. Did they say anything else?
bought 4 funko pop dolls for already gifted anons but they're gonna get an extra surprise
>>78388771
>best gift recieved
Last year an anon gifted me Ellis' Planetary Omnibus. I couldn't hardly believe it when I opened thr box.
This year my favorite gift to give... hmm, that's tough. I was really happy that I could gift an anon the first three volumes of Manabooch Flash, the trades were all pretty cheap so I bought them a set.
>>78388848
Basically that I was s.o.l. and they did everything on their side correctly so it must've got lost in transit
but it doesn't make sense
my grandparents get packages all the time
its a used book and I think the anon got a real good deal on it or something and idk if amazon would reimburse or like get me that damn book
the capchta just made me click on 8 boxes of boxes
>>78388771
First secret santa, I gifted a Kamen Rider dude, and I'm not certain If I got anything.
>>78388902
Huh, I worked amazon phone support for two years. Unless they changed protical once you verifyed the address they should have offered to replace the item, if it was used then they should have offered to add a giftcard of that value to your account or just refund to the purchaser.
The only thing that would throw a wrench in the works would be if the item was both shipped and sold by a third party seller on amazon, then the purchaser would have to message the seller about the missing shipment and the seller would refund the purchaser.
>>78388837
Now I think about it, I end up gifting quite a few Anons in foreign lands; Sweden, Serbia, Finland (although that was a pain in the arse I don't wish to remember...)
Hey there, everyone, just trying to unwind from all the madness of feeding the consumer beast today. Got a nice holiday card from an artist friend of mine today and the presents I'm giving to my sister arrived as well, so I'm feeling a lot more festive. Great stuff in the thread as usual, kudos to all who are sharing. Sure makes things a lot better around these parts.
I had someone get me something from my list last time I posted, and I'm grateful for it for sure, but I'll throw it in here again if anyone else is feeling generous: 3NGF2C5TPCZN1
>>78388798
Considering our mutual adoration for Kamandi, if you haven't read last week's Judge Dredd #1 then you're missing out one hell of a spiritual successor.
>>78389266
Man I might have to go get that then. Plus might marathon some BATB tonight.
>>78389307
Always an excellent choice.
Can someone gift me him for Christmas?
Failing that, my wish code thang! QR6ANKS6BCSA
Thanks in advance to any sweet anon who decides to gift my ass.
I just bought something from 1JFZ1LGMUJCMN's list
Posting the best Flash issue of all time

Wally has a couple of good Xmas stories
hilarious the cliffhanger too
>>78388771
>best gift received
I'm very grateful to receive anything, but last year SDU got me Absolute All-Star Superman and that straight up made my Christmas
>favorite to send out
Every year I get at least one person Kingdom Come. It's becoming a bit of a tradition now. I think I sent out 2 this year.
This has been a good year for /co/'s Christmas thread. So tell me guys, what are you all thankful for? This yeah, I'm gladthat's he's frozen in there and that we're out here and that he's the sheriff and that we're frozen out here and that we're in there and-I just remembered! We're out here!
Seriously, though, anons, what I want to know iswhere's the caveman?
Gremlins is about to end, after which Elusive will be streaming the deleted scene and Gremlins 2. Come watch with us!
http://vaughnlive.tv/elusive
>>78388771
I gifted a lucky anon the first volume of transmetropolitian and a volume of blue beetle
>>78389710
>>78389679
That's not the Jay Garrick issue haha
>>78389799
beat me to it, gremlins 2 starting
>>78389965
this
>>78389786
I'm grateful for these threads picking me up out of the crappy moods I've been in recently.
Seriously, you guys are great.
>>78388771
I'm tied between You Shall die by Your Own Evil Creation and Wonton Soup. I had already done as much gifting as I had planned to, but I saw those and figured that those two anons deserved to have their good taste rewarded.
At around maybe 9 est I'm going to test run stream the Be Cool Scooby Doo christmas special.
If it fails y;all can enjoy that instead
I'm getting some gift wrapping done on my roommate's gifts, though one still hasn't been delivered. What's everyone else doing to get ready for the big day.
>>78388771
Rogues Revenge
>>78390508
Hanging out with family right now. It's been a few years since everyone was able to meet up for the holidays so it's nice to see my brothers again.
> Still 3 lists left
FUCK
>Still an hour and a half of work left
FUCK
>>78389786
I'm thankful for this thread, alone for Christmas and working every day this week, so it's nice to have some place for Christmas lurking!Also I am waiting for the postman like every day like a child filled with excitement waiting for gift to arrive. Much love Riddler. Really brings a smile to my face!
>>78390862
>3 lists
More like 2 lists. I was looking at them and at least one is missing an address.This one: QR6ANKS6BCSA
>>78390862
Actually just looked through the new lists, only one has an address and I just bought a gift for it, so we're back to 100% again.
>>78391028
Hip hop hooray
>>78388547
Oh my gggggoooooooooodddddddd~
So I caved just a teeny bit and peeked to see if the stuff was indivdually wrapped so I could clear out the ratty box, thankfully everything was individually wrapped. Look at all this!
>Fun Fact:I live close to Ankama's HQ and even worked there as an intern illustrator! We run a number of events in the region, I hope someday you might be able to visit us!
>At worst, they make for nice decorations ;)
>An extraordinary series!! I fell in love with it instantly, you made a great choice. It isn't finished yet... it's up to you to find more if you like it
>French sex appeal? in any case it's my favourite series, I really hope she pleases you despite her age!!
>...because it seems like it's a series... I hope that you haven't already seen it. Enjoy!
I honestly think I'm going to choke up. I thought I was doing the dumbest shit ever to sign up for this and put trust in assholes from 4chan and I wound up getting a package from someone connected to Ankama. W-why is it raining indoors~?
>>78391197
/co/ can still be love, sometimes.
>>78391197
Damn son, you hit a jackpot. This was for a registered anon to anon secret santa?
>>78391256
Yeah the thread advertising it died out really quickly so I think it ended up being a very small group. I was absolutely convinced I was going to be grinched, the fact I got anything at all would have been amazing in itself but I'm legitimately floored by this and I haven't even opened anything yet.
>take breaks from boards, sometimes spend months constantly browsing a board, sometimes take a large break from boards
>start browsing /co/ again a week or two ago
>this is the first time i'm seeing a secret santa thread
>clearly missed the fun
>be an executive member of an engineering student's society
>they have a secret santa
>have add
>remember to sign up at 11pm of the night of the deadline, they closed registration at 9pm, wouldn't let me sign up
>another reason why i was the least cared about member of the society lmao
some day i'll do a secret santa
some day
>>78391197
Damn, man. Every SS I've been a part of here and at reddit has just sucked so much. I put in a lot of effort and money and the people who got me didn't do shit.
>>78390508
Since I already wrapped the kiddos presents me and the missus are starting the 24 hour Christmas Story marathon early with our VHS copy
And now, for my very favourite Christmas story ever.
>>78388985
I'm pretty sure they bought it from a 3rd party because that was the cheapest option
real bummed on that
but life goes on, still been enjoying the beejeebus out of these threads
>>78391486
What is your wishlist sir?
>>78389710
Flash # 52 is the best issue of all-time, anon
this one is good too though
Well, that's it. I hope you guys have a good time over the next couple of days, and I'm so glad that we got to 100%.
>>78391315
Christmas technically lasts until January 6th and a lot of parts of the world traditionally don't give gifts until the Epiphany. Throw your list out there and you might get lucky.
>>78391581
do people just buy things for other people?
maybe i don't understand how secret santa works but i thought people were assigned a person weeks ago.
so, for my part, i just go to the lists of lists and buy things for people?
>>78391563
4th year of running the pastebins and this is the most wishlists posted, the most gifts ever gifted, and the only time we've ever made it to every list being gifted.
>>78391611
Yeah, pretty much.
Most wishlists seem to be taken, but there's always stragglers
>>78391611
Yea we're pretty open ended. There's been suggestions of trying to setup the standard matching system for secret santas but it's been shot down several times.
So post your wishlist, take a look through the pastebin of all lists, or just some of the withlist codes that have been posted in the thread.
>>78391197
That's awesome man
>>78391504
it was just kinda sentimental and cool that he chose to get me that, it's based off my favoriteanimeever
I've received my first gift ever from another anon just today actually,I'm going to a pic after I made dinner, the anons card made me lol, so don't feel obliged or anything
I'm 100% grateful for what I got
and the support all my fellow /co/mrades have given me with these comfy threads, storylines and cartoon streams to help me stay sober
but since you asked,PVW1N8DHV7WA
>tfw put my wishlist on amazon.com
>canadian
>trying to figure out how to attach my canadian address to the list
>none of my wish list items are actually on amazon anyway, it just links to other sites
interesting story
thought maybe one of you would be interested to hear it
but one of my tbds disappeared
no ones been in my house but me, i don't have friends to loan it out too or anything and I haven't read it in years
but last time I took a picture for the shelf thread it was there but now it isn't
wtf
>>78391768
You may want to add some amazon.com items most people wouldn't likely purchase through the other sites. And the steps to add an address are in the pastebin.
>turning 28 in two days
Ugh. I'm getting old.
>>78391820
b-but... patches...
iunno, i feel weird hunting for things on amazon just for anons to get me something.
i think i might just buy someone a thing and call it a year.
>>78391926
Patches.... we don't need no stinking patches. I dunno about other peoples but I have an etsy account. I was figuring it would be some of the stuff on shadier websites.
>>78391905
28, welcome to the club.
>>78388771
Last year some Anon went all out on me, I got a package with Evangelion 1.11, 2.22, The Complete Zot! and The Anatomy of Zur-En-Arrh, all of which were wrapped.
>>78388411
>So really we're at 242 gifts so that's really 102%.
I'm proud of us, guys. We seem to do better every year and I hope the next will be no different.
Trial Run stream of Be Cool, Scooby-Doo "Scary Christmas" starting in 12 minutes.

>>78391197
This is pretty amazing anon. You could have rare insider Wakfu swank.If any of those packages happen to be official nudes of Amalia and Evangelyne well, I'm not saying you are obligated to post them, but you are obligated to post them.

Yay, got all of my wrapping done. Gremlins 2 is done as are the deleted scenes. I'm gonna play the bloopers next.
I'm gonna leave my stream http://vaughnlive.tv/elusive playing Christmas specials when I leave for work tomorrow. Just a warning I'll be gone until Friday night so the pastebins won't get updates till then.
I'm also going to stream Gremlins 1 and 2 again Saturday at 4 PM PST.
I gotta head to bed, one last post of my own wishlist 1NVJ8QWRBXRRK
>>78388771
I think my favorite gift from the threads would be a hard back copy of The Amazing Screw on Head that I got last year.
>>78392751
I agree with this.
>>78392751
Thanks to my curiosity about the big sale, I opened up Steam and actually played a game for the first time in ages. Scribblenauts Unmasked is still just as fun as I remember and all my created characters, like Cain, Abel, and the ghost of Jeb Stuart (which also summons a tank) are still there in the Workshop.
>>78388771
I received three of those Flash books, in total, for my daughter (and son, now that he seems to be taking an interest as I read to them at night) - one with a Captain Cold/Heatwave team-up, a story of Reverse Flash framing Flash, and a colorful caper featuring Rainbow Raider. I can't wait for the chance to read these to them.
>>78393026
That's awesome, I would have gotten the Reverse Flash one for them if I had already gotten something for my nephew and known what I had left over.
It's live
http://vaughnlive.tv/designateddave
Wondering if it's any good.
>>78393026
I'm glad that they seem pretty good. You mentioned the villain bios at the back of some of them, which might be one of the best ways to get kids interested in the more esoteric characters. I credit the DK Spider-Man and X-Men encyclopedias for much of my present-day nerdery.
>>78393146
Christmasstreamtime?
>>78393575
Nope, just a test run for sometime next week I plan to do a Horror Musical Day in celebration of the new year.
It was a rousing success, thanks to Corbeau for being there for feedback.
Here's a related snapshot
Yay, just got home. Time to Frank.
>>78394064
Awesome, haha, was about to start something but enough to wait
100% rather impressive. Imma get that to 99 again.
>>78394087
Aye, this won't take long.
Thank you, merry Christmas and hail Hydra
He's very blunt.
oh my
She's wants the Frank
This gal is weird as fuck.
>>78388771
I would say last year, when I got Bioshock: Rapture. Mostly because it was entirely unexpected; I was genuinely confused when I was handed the package.Shame the book itself turned out being not so great, but I appreciated getting it all the same
Wait, why is he dual wielding those?
Are witches entitled to a Happy New Year?3AZH3ZJCN7IBQBetter late than never.
>>78394561
Let's see what I can gift KS.
>>78394585
Hopefully something that'll fix in my mailbox./
>>78394643
Hopefully it will.
Consider yourself gifted.
Hope that it's something that you actually wanted and not something you forgot was on there haha.
>>78394669
Danke. Yeah, some of the list is kind of old, but it's stuff I'll get eventually.
I'm disturbed by the lack of Millar on yer list.
>>78394745
It's because right now I'm buying the floppies and don't see the need for doubling down haha.
Not surprised by your list at all.
I thought about some Frank...but something else caught my eye.
Anyway, here's a special storytime about the christmas spirit...if not set at christmas or having anything to do with it.
Roll.
Gonna be rerunning Be Cool Scooby Doo to see if it works well with interference.
Starting now

>>78394767
Oh no, a Millarworld omnibus is on the way.
I trust your judgement. Since I couldnt get anything millar, I opted for something else. But it didn't come with gift options, so tell me when you get the mystery box.
Frank Miller is doing new Sin City, Nazis in New York.
I'm uh.. real scared desu
>>78395000
>Oh no, a Millarworld omnibus is on the way.
Hahah.
He's actually opted to do a Kick-Ass box set rather than an omnibus for some reason
And gee, thanks. Not even going to check my list to see the surpise.
Started another episode of Be Cool for the heck of it.
This one reboots the Green Ghosts
how long does it take to do a storytime out of curiosity
>>78395458
With a pass, it's 30 seconds a page, so 2 pages a minute.
>>78395458
without a 4chan pass, minimum of 30 seconds between each image post.
So, 22 pages = 11 minutes
Whooooo! I'm off tomorrow!
>>78395598
Take it to your blog
>>78384635
Hopefully Riddler is still around. Stats time, 30 lists gifted, 35 gifts, I dont want to tally up the shipping costs though, easily over 2000 dollarydoos
Now go on and say this had nothing to do about christmas.
You'd be 100% correct, but still...
THE END.
Green Ghosts episode is almost done, let me see if I can download another.
>>78395745
Good read. Thanks.
>>78395737
Amazing sir. You are simply amazing. We need to get you a prime account though.
>>78396086
Yeah, I couldn't get the free prime and didn't think it worth spending the 99 for prime if I cant use it for myself later on. But most of the gifts had free shipping anyway so i used those early on, only took about a week to ship so that was good.
>>78396144
Next year my friend, I will buy you Prime. That's a promise.
>>78396144
Hey, you gonna watch the episode?
I see ya in the chatter's field.
Don't want to shut down for the night is you're interested.
>>78396158
As long as I dont fall for another shitty prime day I should have prime next time.
