[Fluff & Napalm]

I'd be in for that.

[Byrnbot08]

I feel terrible, because I have a distinct lack of simoleons/(LOADSA)MONAY/Rupees/Credits/gp with which to purchase a person a gift.

Gawd, I feel miserly now.

[Mtg_player_zach]

I'd do secret saxton, I'm always looking for reasons to give steam more of my money.

[AlterForm]

For sure in on a Secret Saxton.

[Jahkaivah]

A couple of questions. Would the secret Saxton be secret? Because I'm not sure Steam gifts are anonymous.

Also how do we go about making sure the steam game is not already owned outside steam?

Steam wishlists? Pick a game off of that?

[The Linker]

I assumed it would just be secret up until the gift is given -- but yeah, not every Secret Santa is done like that. What, are you trying to avoid blame if your gift sucks?

[mightymonarch]

RIGHT NOW!

Venture Bros. livestream going right now on my livestream!

I'd love to do Secret Saxton, but I have no ways of paying digitally, so I'd have to give a nice hat in TF2 instead or something.

Like Dr. G I'd say either a wishlist or possibly just posting your Steam Library, but that might take a while.

As for who gets what, you could assign each person someone to get the gift for, and then wait until the day and then gift them all then.

My guese as to how It`ll work:

Ogranizer assigns X to gift to Y, Y to gift to Z, Z to gift to S, ect

Tells them to send the gift some time from the 22nd to the 27th

Gift is sent

Happy people all around.

Also, I assume that people should make a list of Non-Steam Steam games they own.

[Scuzzball]

I'll set up a google doc. Google Doc FTW!

Someone else figure out how to organize it.

A helpful disclaimer. By putting yourself on the list, you are going to participate in the gift giving.

With that said, I'll add myself here shortly.

[Treayn]

I'm interested. What do you need me to do?

Not sure yet, asking around right now to try and drum up some interest.

The new custom map thread is here, with complimentary generic tag line!

[Griever]

I'll throw my hat in for the Secret Saxton as well.

[onasuma]

Well, thats enough of what I call interesst to justify my organising this, so organise it I will. Im probably gonna have to veto the hat trade thing - I dont think its fair to trade games for hats - but if there's enough interesst or argument that that is fair, Im willing to be wrong.

[Dispozition]

Games for games. If another lot want to start a hat one, go for. But I don't want a hat thanks (:

[Demon 997]

I'm having a problem where steam won't boot certain games but will others. It brings up the starting game message and then goes unresponsive. Anyone have an idea whats causing it or a fix?

[The Linker]

Which games in particular? They might have a common link; they might all run on the Source engine, for instance.

[shadow_archmagi]

This friday, Hogfather.

If you've missed movies in the past, I advise you not to skip this one. It's my personal favorite.

[Phase]

This Saturday, Triassic Attack!!

Watch as some protagonists do a thing with Dinosaurs that probably kill people I guess!

[The Linker]

Triassic Shenanigans!? At what time?

[Demon 997]

I noticed it with Gratutous Space Battles, and the demo for Hegemony Philip of Macedon. Portal, Alien Swarm, and Men of War all run fine.

Are you on Windows 7?

If so try running Steam as administrator.

9:00 PM EST this Saturday!

Hmm, if I can get an internet connection on my laptop that night, I'll so be there. With drolkcal and possibly Djinn and/or Blackfox, if they'd want to stay that late.

[The Linker]

9:00 PM EST this Saturday!

Hmm. Matrix is 136 hours... Suppose I could move my movie to 6:30.

Matrix Rifftrax at 6:30 PM EST on Saturday!

Now I just have to hope I remember.

Edit: Um, 136 minutes, not hours. We are not watching Ultra-Extended Matrix in which we observe Neo say 'woah,' 97,960 times (the Rifftrax of that one gets repetitive anyway).

[shadow_archmagi]

wait what?

[blackfox]

wait what?

World domination plans for great justice.

[Phase]

Eventually Jibar will hitchhike his way to the states and the Mario Raven Blackfox Djinn Jibar Phase Doc Drolkcal Fawkes Nontuplet of ultimate destiny will unite the ten globes of shame and the Earth will melt
