Great vids Adami and Brian! Adami....did you say that you wrote the music playing in the background while you opened your gift? That was cool sounding...very atmospheric. Looks like you have a nice set up there at the Computer as well. The Robe was awesome!!

Brian...whatever camera you used was awesome, very sharp image! I couldn't help but laugh at the 'read the instructions' reference you made about your childhood...sounded very familiar. Those were some very thought out and coordinated gifts....kuddos to your SS.

Thanks. Just my cellphone lol

Adami - Awesome robe! I love how you switched voices, you had me going there for a while thinking that was your voice.

Chino - Sounds like a fellow fan of the show got you. It's a shame those rules were too punishingly intricate for you to follow the first time. Can we get a picture with the hat?

Yea, a few years back I was bored, and everyone was telling me that my music sounded like a soundtrack (which was never my intention) so I said screw it and started writing a soundtrack to an X-Men graphic novel, that was one of the tracks.

The robe is awesome!

Thanks so much to my Secret Santa for the awesome robe. One might say it is fit for a king!

I was watching and thinking, wow I totally didnt picture Adami with such a strong accent and I kept telling myself well he is from Israel and I am somewhat sheltered to lots of cultures and then you revealed the truth

also, agreed the atmospheric music was cool and a nice touch to the video.

Here are my two videos! Thanks a ton to my Secret Santa for a great, great gift - you're an awesome person, whoever you are.

Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_tB9G7u4d4
Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ee5F9-40dkQ

(Sorry for shitty laptop microphone quality).

Video doesnt work. "Video is unavailable"

Thanks for pointing that out (and Mason for the friendly reminder via PM). I was away for the last few days, but it should be viewable now.

Figured maybe it was a country setting. Thats a sweet gift, I was going to say even the amazon gift card alone is pretty awesome.

Quote from: Chino on December 28, 2016, 07:46:50 AM

Great vids everyone! Here's mine.

Disclaimer to my SS: I totally fucked up opening your gift However, I absolutely love it and I hope the "pt2" video makes up for my impatience.

Part 1:

Part 2:

I love how you have a logical use for the cones

although I did not understand what everything related to

Dr. DTVT · « **Reply #182 on:** December 28, 2016, 08:50:42 PM »

Just saw your video Scorpion. Dang, a Paperwhite is nice. My dad had me buy one for his wife last year.

Scorpion · « **Reply #183 on:** December 29, 2016, 09:39:05 AM »

Yeah, I was absolutely floored by my gift, far beyond what I was expecting. Thanks again to my Secret Santa - I was at my grandparents a while ago and used it and it was great.

Ben_Jamin · « **Reply #184 on:** December 30, 2016, 10:40:15 AM »

I think mine will love the gift. As I did mine. I have my Mr. Hanky hanging on my tree by my name and Seahawks ornaments.

cramx3 · « **Reply #185 on:** December 30, 2016, 11:04:33 PM »

I received my gift late this afternoon

Thank you to my SS, I will be beating this up Monday for the Rose Bowl and if it survives then it probably won't the next weekend for the Giants playoff game

Also, didn't realize until after that there were a couple smaller gifts, some army parachuters and a pokemon watch

Dr. DTVT · « **Reply #186 on:** December 31, 2016, 01:45:23 PM »

I'm going to have to bring you to the strip club so you can make it rain. You kept it out of the beer which was equally important.

You really could have used that pull apart ref in the 2004 OSU game.

Let's not forget about 2014 OSU and 2005 Michigan. 2005 Michigan still hurts though, should have been undefeated that year.

I got something in the mail sometime last week (but I wasn't home until now) and I know who it's from

Now I have to find some time to unpack and film this thing. Back soon.

Elite · « **Reply #189 on:** January 02, 2017, 03:55:35 PM »

VIDEO TIME

I'm feeling rather awkward posting something on Youtube, but here it is: https://youtu.be/G6vX-ovJX48

Hoping everything is audible and people actually watch it

I didn't really make a spectacle out of the unpacking or the video, but for what it's worth it was quite fun making it and being part of this process. I can vaguely recall joining in 4 years ago and shooting the video back then, but since 2012 there were not enough people in Europe to join. I'm glad it could happen this year and I thank my Secret Santa (who may reveal himself if he wants to) for the presents.

-> and if he doesn't want to reveal himself just yet, please let me know (PM) what that thing is before I have it for breakfast tomorrow!

cramx3 · « **Reply #190 on:** January 04, 2017, 05:22:42 PM »

Is that Christmas bread?

Elite · « **Reply #191 on:** January 05, 2017, 01:19:14 AM »

Apparently it is! But it's of a German variety. I haven't actually tried it yet, I'll have a slice for breakfast this morning

I didn't partcipate in this but I just watched the videos, so much gold!
"I got a package today, not sure if it's my secret Santa" Scorpion, how often do you receive packages you weren't expecting man?

Part of me was wishing it's the wrong package and yet you do the video anyway hehe

I believe they were waiting for you to return.

I haven't been getting replies from Implode's SS. I'll be doing what I can to remedy the situation.

Never, haha. I just unused to being on camera, so I just started saying the first thing that I was thinking of to say something.

:

Elite, how's that Stollen? (the Christmas bread)

Elite · « **Reply #197 on:** January 07, 2017, 09:48:30 AM »

It's ridiculously sweet, but it tastes fantastic! We have similar stuff here in the Netherlands, but it's far lighter and contains less fruits and nuts. The German equivalent is far better, great stuff!

That was awesome! That bass tone totally reminded me of an Iron Maiden opener for a song, but with the PMU melody.

Don't go too out of your way! It's not a big deal.

I have a few videos to catch up on watching though. Need to make time to do that.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #202 on:** January 08, 2017, 04:00:33 PM »

My brother was complaining about his strings. Lol. He needs to restring his bass.

Implode · « **Reply #203 on:** January 08, 2017, 08:45:10 PM »

I got my gift today! Just have to edit the video and upload. Planning to post it here tomorrow night.

Okay! Got my present just now.
Should I try to film myself when unpacking it - or wait 2 weeks till my girlfriend could film the whole thing (we have a long-distance relationship...)? What do you think?

Dr. DTVT · « **Reply #206 on:** January 16, 2017, 06:33:33 PM »

Do it now. It's already 3 weeks past Christmas.

Why would your girlfriend need to film it?

lots of the other participants (including me) have filmed it ourselves. So, I agree, do it now!

Train of Naught · « **Reply #209 on:** January 17, 2017, 04:29:21 AM »

I would have let my girlfriend film it
