Don't know how my name didn't make this list.  But yes, I am going.
Can't wait to hang once again. This might be my last MAG for a while... I don't know what the future holds. I got hired as a flight attendant for United Airlines, so I have to build my seniority level. I would love this one to be extra special. Less than 30 days away, yay!

I'll be performing with The OneUps this time. Swing on by if you want!

I know I'm mad late, but really happy I went to MAGLabs. It was great to see you guys again.

Next year I'm going to make it a point to rally the crew for some gaming

I'd totally LOVE that!  I have a bunch of remix requests.  I desire more Secret of Evermore remixes.

Nah, just send them one of the 3000+ remixes from here, and rename it. No one will notice.

I also received my present. Thanks for the movies and journal whoever you are! Now I have less of an excuse to not watch Cowboy Bebop

Funny story.

I asked Beth a while ago who her Secret Santa was and she didn't tell me who. Wonderful thing after a long day... I found a package in front of my door. I was so excited to see who it was from. Seconds later I could not stop laughing.

Trying to find the gift was an adventure. I honestly believed she trolled me until I ripped the damn thing apart. haha

I found this:




Not going to lie. This made me cry like a baby...but that's not surprising, right? I've always been the emotional one. Getting the gift made it harder not to go to MAGFest. Unfortunately I had to cancel it. Thank you for this, Beth. I had no idea you could make such a beautiful thing. I'll definitely wear it to MAG 2017. I promise. In the meantime I'll take care of these. I love them. I can't wait for gift #2.

I'm so glad you like them! It was really fun designing and assembling them, and I plan to do more pieces using the same techniques after my current remix project is done.
I am not very organized so the second part of your gift may arrive after Christmas.

just got my gift. jen/jade sent me all the DLC for Rocket League, and a copy of Planet Explorers! i am super excited for both =) planet explorers is also a cool one, an early access game that combines the blocky building elements of minecraft and cube world, the big dinosaurs of games like Ark and Turok, and an over-the-shoulder FPS view similar to most of the valve games. i played a little of it a while ago and always wanted to try it now that it's getting farther along. thanks so much!

I forgot to mention that Rexy gave me several games on Steam from my wishlist!
Super Time Force Ultra, Guacamelee! Gold Edition, and Half Minute Hero: The Second Coming
Unfortunately I have been in a crazy time crunch & am currently in DC for the week (and in Orlando the next two), but I will carve out some time in January to play these games . Thanks Rexy, looking forward to the second half of the bonanza!

I received my gift from Koriantor!
I got my first and only Amiibo, of the best SSB character, Zero Suit Samus! I'm levelling her up to be an unstoppable smash machine. My son James has an amiibo too, so we will have them battle it out, starting at level 1, and see who's will be the ultimate champion.
Thank you Koriantor!

Well, I am blown away by the gift that I received.  Wes really doesn't want me to finish my dissertation, haha.  In all seriousness, this is very humbling and I don't know how best to express how thankful I am except to say thank you.  This unboxing pic of me looking way more excited than I usually do (I intended just a very pleased smile, I confess) comes via a joke by Addie, who took the picture right after she said "Now look like I didn't schedule you a vasectomy for Christmas," causing me to laugh really hard and create an embarrassing picture of myself for everyone's enjoyment.
 

 
As an aside, I have a large pile of digital goodies for my own person, but they haven't accepted my Steam friend request.  If they don't respond by the end of the day I'm just going to spoil the surprise and PM them since I should not be sitting on gifts after receiving my own.
