Own up, ungrateful b*tches!!! Satan's been to town

Look what I found under the Christmas Tree today!



With not a little trepidation I removed the paper cover, revealing the dread...



NOOOOOH... not Beowulf! I was haunted by the Curse of the Returning Game! I gave it away a few years back, because.. because... well, because KNIZIA, you know?



Clearly, Satan knows.



Well... at least the rules were included. Not very Secret Satan 2014, but I count my blessings.

Hoping against hope that Satan was pulling a trick on me and just storing a box load of goodness inside, I delved further into Pandora's box...



Well, definitely Beowulf, then. Sigh. But hey, look at that! At least it seemed like there was something to compensate for the hatefulness that is Knizia.



Oh yes! There's a Lupin III comic: Satan knows I love that game! And then there's the Remember Tomorrow near future RPG! Satan knows I love near future RPG! And knows that Remember Tomorrow is the title of the episode of Jonathan Meade's show that I love. Satan is, it bears repeating, a man of wealth and taste. Obviously I haven't been all good this year



But there was also a reminder of the fact that I've been a good guy. Some computer games, showing that Satan knows I never play computer games unless I'm in between jobs or retired. Full Throttle, The Thing, The Unwhispered Word... well, I guess I'll have to be more of an asshole next year.

Full Throttle and The Thing are pretty fantastic games.

Thumbs up to Jur for his edit reason.

433, my imps tell me that you have received your package. Post some pics post haste, or risk incurring my wrath even further next year.

Hm? Those fucking imps didn't bring it to my desk then. I hope I don't have to go into the office tomorrow (it's right by a mall)!

I received my package yesterday but between hosting my in-laws for dinner tonight and holiday festivities tomorrow I won't be able to get to it for a couple of days.

Well, I walked into the office this morning and there was a big box.

I'll hope to open it and photograph the evidence tonight.

Satan is a bit sad about the lack of people showing off their gifts. Sad, not angry. You will *know* when I'm angry.

Now we've all made a deal at the start of this, and it didn't even require your soul. All you had to do was send a gift and post here what gifts you have received. My imps have registered the arrival of several packages, meaning their receptants are non-compliant. Should I have a word with Barnsey and blacklist a few people for the future?

In the meantime I'll be poking up the fire...

I just had my last family Christmas yesterday so I should have free time to get a post together this week.

Satan, I think we may have to start issuing some warnings here. The Yuletide is waning and if these malingerers wait much longer, their posts are going to start looking like those little bits of Christmas wrap and holiday detritus you find around your house in, like, March.

There is no viable excuse for delay. MAY WE SEE YOUR PICTURES, PLEASE????
