Board 8 > B8's 4th annual STEAM SECRET SANTA! [SIGN-UP UNTIL DEC 16] [GIFT BY CHRISTMAS]

(+) Yeah! (+)

you could buy at Humble and PM them a gift link.

if there's more than a 10% price difference between regions, you can't gift games on Steam.
---

That's a great idea. Thanks.
---

Okay, sent.
I'll be honest, the region lock thing kinda gimped my style. But hopefully the receiver will enjoy the games just the same.
---

Thanks JackMan for Hollow Knight and Detention!

Looking to send my gifts tonight
---

Fun Fact!: The Steam App isn't intuitive for purchases! So I'll try again tomorrow. :(
---

Raka's style was hardly gimped at all -- thank you for the gifts! Hollow Knight and Typoman are gonna be fun. =)
---

I sent my gifts they will arrive at 6PM PST tonight.
---

I finally got mine to send while at Jimmy John's of all places!

And I also received mine! Thank you so much Shad for Cuphead and Pyre. Cuphead is something I was looking forward to playing all year and I loved Bastion and Transistor and consider them among my favorite indy games, so I'm sure I'll love that too!
---

thanks to biscuit for the gift of two hellishly difficult video games, the end is nigh and darkest dungeon, for which i will surely be cursing your name while playing this holiday season
---

Icon, you played SMB, right? i'll be interested in hearing what you think of TEiN.
---

Yeah, big SMB and BoI fan. I think I might have a SMB account stashed away somewhere.

Played through the first two worlds in End is Nigh. It's straightforward so far, but I feel like I'm going to have the rug taken out from me any moment now.
---

I came home from a very busy day at work (and really, a very busy week at work) and saw a couple nice gifts from Wigs! It was maybe more than I expected, but I am really excited to play Cuphead, Hollow Knight, and Crypt of the Necrodancer! (also I think my wife had bought cuphead as a gift for me based on her behavior when I told her how cool it was I got it OOPS but her fault for not revealing her gifts early to me, and steam can refund things now anyway)

Also I may have clicked the send button to someone at some point tonight!?!
---

Gifts sent

Also, to everyone, I have two free Steam keys I'd like to give as a bonus if I spot the game on your wishlist. I'll wait until everyone gets their stuff first though
---

Fuck, HBJ nice!

I got Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy, Thomas Was Alone (something I've meant to play forever), and Tales of Berseria.

But I'm supposed to play Zestiria first? I've never played a Tales game I dunno.
---

Oh fuck Zestiria was there too! Dammit gmail, you didn't tell me that! Thank you so much!
---

...I might've sent another gift that I wanted to send but I was afraid I would be giving too much before...
---

You're welcome! Enjoy!
---

Icon sent me Oxygen Not Included and another game that seems cool as hell but the name is escaping me.

I havent signed in to receive them, but I saw the emails. Thanks dude!!! Im so excited to dig into them.

Shad, you are too kind. Thank you so much for Night in the Woods. My girlfriend had wanted me to get it so we could play it together since she digs those kind of games. So we're sure to have a great time with that. Thanks man!
---

kateee got me Caveblazers and Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII-3

Thanks!

(I actually still haven't got the gift I'm giving lined up just yet.)
---

Nice, I got Hellblade from Nee, which is awesome, but then I felt guilty about having more spent on me than I spent on my Secret Santa, so I got them something else as well.
---

You didn't need to do that, but I appreciate it all the same. Thanks Jack for Grandia II!

I had something similar, but I'll probably just give all my Secret Santas a gift back eventually. I limit myself to spend only $20 per Steam sale, so I go as close as I can to that for the person I'm being a Santa to, and eventually when I have a real income, I'll up that value to $25, and steadily get everyone I've been a Santa to one extra game, as well as all my Santas a game. Thanks to Kora I have a list of that.
---

No need to feel guilty about what you got for others! I was a little worried it would look lame I only got one game instead of multiple, but really, we're all just trying to give each other cool games so we can all have some fun stuff to play here.
---

Yeah, but I would have just got it in my head that I'd technically saved money on the game and I didn't like that idea, so I evened it out. And one game is fine when it's a game as cool as Hellblade!

Thanks Jack for Grandia II!

Enjoy! One of my favourite Dreamcast games and JRPGs of all time.
---

Voltch is a VN whore weeb and gets Tokyo Dark and Detention
---

Awww thanks man.

Such spooky looking games
---

Well, let's go through and add people to steam...
---

Thank you to Lolo, who bought me SteamWorld Heist, Dark Souls 3 and Stories: The Path of Destinies.

And merry christmas everyone. :D
---

Merry Christmas everyone! If anyone hasn't received their gift by the end of the day please let me know
---

Got mine!

Golf with your friends, Shadowrun: Hong Kong, and Legend of Grimrock II

Thanks Tony! I'm particularly excited for GWYF
---

Oh geez LOLalt got me a whole slew of games, including 20XX and Super Mega Baseball, thanks man!

Terastodon got me Darkest Dungeon, Bad Rats: Show and Roller Coaster Tycoon: World!

Darkest Dungeon looks rather fun and Ill finally see what Bad Rats is all about lol
---

And just now Banished!
:)
---

So as I said earlier, I've been sitting on two Steam keys for awhile now that I would like to give out. They are VNs, Root Double and Sound Of Drop -Fall Into Poison-. Nobody had Sound of Drop on their wishlist, but @Tom_Bombadil and @profDEADPOOL did have Root Double, so I would like to extend the offer to them first if the two of you want to take one game each.
---

I'll take whichever Prof doesn't want, sure, thanks! :D

Yeah, a lot of my scheduled gifts got delayed for a while and I'm not sure why.

Oh geez

I have way too much fun every time I join B8's secret santa.
Going though all of the inexpensive games while studying at a steam profile to construct a gift is like crack for me.
Tried to get every genre in there lol
Hope you are enjoying!

Tcheco in the Castle of Lucio has been a neat little gem of the ones I never heard of, though kind of tough to do all on one life.

Of course Chip's Challenge is a classic
---

I'd def be interested in Root Double yeah
