I know an anon tried last year but no one wanted to do it.
Should we try again? Would anyone be interested in spreading some holiday cheer?
Could be a good excuse to get rid of some doubles to a friend.
>>2792337
Find any Fighting game thread on /vr/.
That's how.
I mean, I have a nomad that's completely working. It's a bit beat up, but I don't use it and I want it to go to a good home.
>>2792351
I don't really know how to organize something like this but I'll think about it.
I have some stuff I'd like to see go to a good home too, like a Gameboy Colour with Pokemon Silver (and some random games) and an extra copy of Silent hill on PS1.
>>2792331
>>2792341
>>2792342
Holy shit /pol/ fuck off before I ask one of my friends to start reporting you.
>>2792327
>exchanging your address with random people on 4chan
>accepting packages from random people on 4chan
I dunno man this seems like a disaster waiting to happen. I love you /vr/ but I know one of you guys would send me a Retron 5.
>>2792445
>giving your address to a dude on 4chan
>worse then giving your address to some random guy
I dunno why people get this reddit-tier association with 4chan where they think everyones going to fuck with them.
All of my interactions in the bst have been positive.
I get skepticism, but this is also for the holidays, and I like to think that most people here are enthusiasts to some degree and are generally respectful.
>retron5
Bro this shit usually has a pretty hard price limit. No ones going to pay to get someone a Retron 5 and ship that shit cross country.
>>2792445
Other boards have successful ones but I'm not sure if I'd trust /vr/ on average.
>>2792449
It's a joke m8 calm down.
I don't think anyone here would want a copy of Madden 97 for the Saturn.
>>2792462
Like another anon said, these things usually have a hard minimum. /toy/'s was $30 this year though it seems like most people are going to either go above that or add in their own touches on top of that like candy and crafts. One guy said he's a welder and would cut /toy/ into a piece of metal and add that into his box.
you'd just need someone trustworthy to handle the addresses, or alternatively, a website that could take people's information, randomize it, and only send one person's info to the relevant person.
Would listing one's interests to help gift-choosing be fair too, or should it be more open to 'I have this, please take it' ?
>>2792450
i would probably trust /vr/ not to hunt me down and slash my tires and hack my phone and mail my browser history to my boss, but i think the odds of actually getting a game like this are pretty low
>>2792464
I still can't believe that the 2KSports football game on Saturn supported 8 players.
If this works, I have a mint condition ,never opened, earthbound game I don't want anymore.
>>2792450
Do you know how the other boards organize theirs?
I don't really go anywhere besides /v/, /vr/ and occasionally /fit/, /cgl/ and the porn boards.
My thoughts would probably be to have a google drive doc with everyone participating (names or alias, just some way to identify them) with what they want (either generics like SNES or Genesis games or specifics like "I want Final Fantasy Mystic Quest"), with maybe a link to what they already own as to avoid people getting duplicates, and what they're willing to spend to get, or what they have on hand to give away.
Its logistically difficult depending on how many people.
>>2792462
>>2792468
We'd have to decide on a hard minimum/maximum or if you're willing to go over you have to expect to get something in the max $$ range.
>>2792470
I feel like the problem with randomizing it is that some people already have stuff they'd no doubt like to move.
Its obviously good to discuss these things
>>2792483
so it's almost more of a white elephant than a secret santa, which is to say, a gift-giving where you give away something you don't want anymore. Which is fine, one man's trash and all that.
I'll have to remember what stuff I want to get out.
>>2792476
NBA Live 97 on Saturn supports 10 and has Shaq!
>>2792483
/co/ does a pastebin of amazon wishlists, then has kind of a recurring general for the month of December with chatter, sharing photos, OC, storytiming comics, etc
/toy/ has a guy organizing it, $30 minimum, send in a list of 3-5 things you want (as specific or broad as you'd like,) anyone outside the US has to be willing to ship internationally, anyone in the US can opt in or out for international, the deadline on that ended and he's currently assigning santas.
>>2792493
holy fuck I want 10 player B-Ball, assuming it's actually fun to play
>>2792498
Guess you'll just have to see if Santa sends you a copy ;)
>>2792493
How the fuck, do you need like 3 fucking multitaps?
>>2792486
I'm not opposed to people buying stuff for each other.
I basically started this because I have a bunch of stuff that I don't want or are doubles and figured we could do something nice for the board.
Its gives me great displeasure to deal with low ballers on CL, so much os that I'd rather just give it away to a guy who maybe enjoys going to the same boards as me.
>>2792504
I'll gladly pitch in as long as it's sometime next month when I start working at my new job. Bought a Genesis homebrew I thought was garbage that I'm sure some collector would wanna have just for the sake of adding something they don't have to their collection.
>>2792504
2, sega saturn multi taps were 6 players each?
>>2792509
Is itpier solar?
>>2792518
No I'm holding onto that until my sister finally visits cause she'd really love it. It's this game which is pretty much someone's shitty creepypasta shoved onto a Genesis cart.
I'm in Canada, any chance of a canadian secret santa? I got a bunch of shit I could gift to better homes.
>>2792561
US to Canada is actually totally fine if you just use USPS
>>2792351
Also have an extra PC engine and PC engine duo I don't need lying around. depends on how much we gunna give
>>2792584
I buy shit from eBay all the time and I've really never had to pay import fees.
Occasionally it happens, but its usually only on like 200+ dollar orders.
I'm honestly surprised this has more interest then last year. Last year was a total fucking bomb.
I'll set something up later tonight or tomorrow, I'm gonna play some bideogames.
>>2792561
I live in WA state so if you're close enough I'll still send stuff out to you.
Made a strawpoll about price ranges:
http://strawpoll.me/5993677
I've spent a good hundred euros last year as a santa on 4chan. It felt nice. Expensive, but nice.
>>2792445
>but I know one of you guys would send me a Retron 5.
Of course, who's gonna save your marriage after all?
I'm working on a template.
I'm willing to manage the North American one (USA/Canada) but I don't really know about you europoors/britbongs so if you guys wanna do one someone needs to step up to the plate.
So
who likes sports games
Any Britbongs interested? I've got a spare Saturn Virtual On Twin Stick I don't need.
>>2792992
secret santas require wishlists and a set minimum
I might have some shit that's taking up space.
>>2793086
Why yes, yes it's still there.
USA here and totally willing to include Canada or Mexico. I've got some CIB Gameboy games I'm willing to give out. Also got a local guy that does SNES repros. Might be able to get some jrpgs for cheap from him.
>>2793087
>Zapper
still love that design
>>2793087
yo man does that n64 still work? I will trade you a nomad for that shit.
saw this on ebay thought it belonged here
Heres the template:

Follow the instructions and email it to [email protected]
Hopefully theres enough interest
>>2793886
Thanks man, pretty excited.
>>2793346
No thanks, they all went to France this weekend.
>>2793886
>need to sign in to google
>need to have an approved account
what the fug santa
i just want a nomad for christmas
>>2794102
making a gmail account takes 2 seconds man.
How else would we do it? I'm not gonna make a website just for this.
>>2794107
fuck you anon, you're not getting my nomad
NOBODY GETS A FUCKING SEGA NOMAD
>>2794120
Santa's a big guy
>>2794114
>How else would we do it? I'm not gonna make a website just for this.
I don't understand why you'd need a google doc at all let alone a private one
>>2794136
Could've just said "you forgot to enable sharing"
>>2794136
You got a funny name or somethin' pal?
>>2793886
I get a 404 on that, even with adding www to the front.
>>2794231
Try again. It shouldn't be erroring. Make sure theres no spaces.
>>2794239
my bad, didn't see the http://docs. part, was just putting www.google
>>2794229
>worth atleast 2 n64's
didn't know this, bought it for like 30$ over the summer, and it's in pretty decent shape honestly
I looked at it last night, only this that needs to be replaced is the protective screen, which is 5$.
>>2794276
dang, lucky find, I'm envious.
>>2794286
It was hidden before a NIB megaman battle network 4; in a store that usually overprices shit.
Guy who sold it to me gave me a 10$ discount too, cool guy.
>>2794301
huh, weird.
I heard MMBN4 wasn't very good, maybe that's why it's still unopened.
I'm trying to find cool stuff to give for my santa duties but overall it's just random carts and stuff I don't want anymore. I hope no one is offended by my choices if they receive it.
Im gonna go ahead and put the cutoff at like the 22nd currently (thats next, next sunday).
If there isn't much interest we'll play it by ear, so far its 2.
I want to join but I'mFrench. Any continental europoors interested ?
>>2794561Hope things are ok in your country
>>2794561
I'm in Germany rn, but I won't be in Europe from Dec 12th until Jan 11th. Also, I only have NTSC stuff.
>>2794664
California got you bro
>>2794676
I don't like the desertification looming over the whole situation out there
>>2794635
>only have NTSC stuff
I like you
>>2794985
Thanks for the praise, but I'm not actually a Yuro, just going to school in Germany. I haven't bought any PAL stuff here because it's cheaper to emulate. My NTSC games/consoles are what's left of my collection back home.
>>2795049
>>2794985
eh, I'm Yuro too, but have mostly NTSC(-J) stuff anyway.
The PAL stuff is what I have since childhood, which is only the N64 (disregarding non-/vr/ consoles here), and I guess the GBC, but that's region free anyway.
Technically my Saturn started its life as a PAL unit but it's been thoroughly modified.
>>2792445
This is how I feel about this, I know you said in a later post you were kidding but...
I dunno. Are you guys really okay with giving your address out to complete strangers?I really do wanna try this though ;_;
>>2795286
I'm not autistic so it doesn't bother me
>>2795286
Of course. What, are you going to send me an NES full of roaches or something?
>>2795286
You know anytime you buy something on ebay, or amazon from a vender, you're giving your address out to some random person.
>>2795804
...who are being held responsible for their actions by a business entity who has the power to affect their continued ability to do business on their marketplace, or even to keep the funds they are trying to receive for selling their goods
>>2795843
Whatever man, go ahead and not opt in. It doesn't look like its even going to happen anyways since no one else really has.
>>2795843
protip: at least half of them sell your info to marketers
>>2795849
>>2795286 here, I'm not totally against it per se, I'm just wondering how we would go about doing it in a safe manner.
>>2795852
Well that's a given. I get a few chingy chongy junk emails a month as a side effect of buying cheap Chinese shit often. Goes straight to my junk folder though, so it's not really a problem.
>>2795849
that sucks, could have been a good way for me to move some cheer
>>2795849
>It doesn't look like its even going to happen anyways since no one else really has.
Yeah I wasn't really feeling it, most people in the thread seemed to want to just get rid of stuff they don't want anymore.
Look, if we don't get enough interest I just want the people who sign up to know I still plan on sending out a nice GB/SNES care package with some baked sweets to whomever wants it. Femanon /vr/o here and I guarantee there's no anthrax in the cookies, I swear.
>>2796150
Hey man, the stuff I feel like getting rid of is still over a $30 minimum. What do you have to lose? I like you faggots.
>>2796475
>What do you have to lose?
Shelf space to useless crap I'll never want, need or use
>>2796448
In a world gone mad, what could possibly go wrong...
...except everything.
This winter, the blockbuster everyone wants to believe:
Femanon's Cookies
Coming to a mailbox near you
>The ?uestion is Real
>>2796448
>Femanon /vr/o here and I guarantee there's no anthrax in the cookies, I swear.
It ain't anthrax that I'm worried about.
>>2796515
That's not what cum looks like
>>2796448
>Silly boys, girls can't be criminals, teehee!!!!
>>2796641
if anything i'm more suspicious than ever
>>2796478
that's a fair statement for everything though, a secret santa is a hit-or-miss thing where you buy someone something random based on their interests.
Instead of asking for specifics, we really should ask for more general things of interest like genre or something.
>>2793087
If you're interested in parting with that DC keyboard, let me know and we can work out a sale/trade.
>>2796448
>Cookies and GB games for christmas
And just like that I'm back in.
>>2796515
The writing ability of the two Original OPs are drastically different, and besides, that looks like custard, not cum.
>>2796515
That dick is photoshopped in. Look at the edge of the bowl underneath it, it would be equally blurred if it were part of the same photo.
I would literally shit in a box and sent it to one of you idiots.
>>2800842
Well 2 people signed up, 1 was a europoor and the amount of shit thats gone on in this thread basically crushed any hope of this being successful.
Congratulations.
All the /vr/ things I want are like $50-80+
OP should just make a recurring christmas general or something in mid December instead
>>2792327
A Redditfag friend told me about how Reddit does Secret Santas, I think it would be incredibly cool but I doubt anyone would like to give their adress to anyone on 4chan.
>>2801189
90 people did for /toy/
>>2801191
Huh. Using which method?
>>2801192
Send your name address and some things you want (or general interests) to an email. The person running the SS then assigns people with other people. In an A > B > C format
>>2801194
That sounds pretty cool.Is there any punishment for not sending anything?
>>2801196
Not really though the person organizing it could find out who it was and put their address out for everyone to see I guess
>>2801210
>>2798893
>>2798880
>>2796635
>>2796521
>>2796515
/k/ here, OP confirmed that its actually butter and his thumb.
Also, I'd be down for this, I've got a spare 2600 that the guy before me partially painted white, and a handful of duplicate carts to go with it. Also got a few NES games I could part with.
I am interested in the Secret Santa, although I am currently jobless, so I am unsure what I could contribute.
If it's mostly people getting rid of stuff they don't want then whoever's organizing it would probably have to match up people who actually want the stuff being given away.
Like I have no want or use for common 3rd gen games and extra controllers or whatever so if I got sent that it'd be a waste but there might be someone who's wants to kickstart a new collection or something like that.
>>2802296
eh, its alright. I'll just hop into the BST I guess.
