I actually did a live unboxing on my Facebook. I thought it was actually pretty fun.
I will leave the identity of my Secret Santa anonymous, as even I didn’t reveal myself to my recipient, as well as the message within the greeting card.
I will respond with this, however, to my Secret Santa: even though I still play Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and still have a bit of popularity due to my team, I feel like I’m more known now for fixing/modding people’s arcade sticks than my abilities in UMvC3, TvC, and any other game for that manner. I’m happy to have known that I was a positive influence to you in some way, so being your recipient made this TTSS special for me.
Thanks for the sweet Gambit figure. I actually had a couple of Gambit figures when I was a kid, but must have given them away a long time ago. It sits nicely at my monitor setup at home.
Also, I finally get to watch Cowboy Bebop at my own leisure now! I had watched a few episodes here and there, but never watched the entire series in order. Thanks for getting me these great gifts.
And to everyone here, I have a confession to make: there are only two threads I visit here on SRK on a regular basis: Trade Outlet and Tech Talk. I’m happy to know that I’m part of this community and that we continue to increase our knowledge of arcade sticks and modifying them for ourselves and people who need our help.
Merry Christmas and here’s to looking forward to the new year and Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite!
This was in the shipping box. Everything Gift wrapped. This alone is awesome.
Then came all the Stuff
6 Old School NES game cases. That one, with the Zelda label, it is not getting peeled off. Holly Shite.
These two alone would of been worth it. More Holy Shit. Old School Goodness a Nintendo Players Guide and a old, still in it’s original packaging Star Wars Tiger Electronics Trivia game.
Holy shit ball man.
An Pal-B Famicom Clone, still in its OG Shrink Wrap. WOW. And its is the most Unique Fami-clone I ever seen.
Then the Letter, the bottom is cropped off intentionally so we keep who it is a secret for now.
And wait, there more coming? Holy Cow. Dude, you are awesome.
There been One but I am on top of it, and I know the particular situation and its already resolved.
But with 13 participants I am hoping to get feedback to see if there any issues. As it’s kinda hard to keep track.
Some of the Tracking numbers I received didn’t work.
Anyone who hasn’t gotten anything yet PM me, and I get to the bottom of it.
If I messaged you about a delay, your case is being handled.
If you your self is the cause of the delay and I didn’t speak to you, please PM me ASAP.
I have received my gift today. It is pretty sweet. I won’t be posting pictures tonight. But, tomorrow early in the morning I will upload and share the pics.
My gift came in a few days ago but work has been crazy and New Years Party prep took up some of my free time. I have pics all snapped but I want to shoot a short video clip of one of the gifts later today before I post them.
Okey dokey then. My Secret Santa gift was amazing. Let’s get straight into it.
EZPZ, Gimp, SOCD cleaners, tiny Undamned USB Decoder, and a Cthulhu.
3D printed candy…what?
A whole mess of buttons. Sanwa, Qanba, and Rollie…Pearls! I had 4 and have been searching for at least 2 more. Now I have 2 sets of 6! So hype.
Last but not least, @Gummo made me an electronic fidget toy! Check it out. https://youtu.be/m2ekkRIOOMc
It’s a little project box with an on/off rocker (which I find myself messing with more that anything else), a 24mm Sanwa button with press counter, rumble on press motor, and a mercury switch that makes the counter go in reverse when you shake it. Such a cool toy and I’ve been playing with it constantly. Thank you so much @Gummo! Merry X-Mas, TT.
Next we have something that I believe is a HAPP 360 joystick? It also came with some long stem buttons either being Industrias Lorenzo or Happ as well. I could be wrong on this. I am not too knowledgeable with these types of parts. But, rest assured that they will be used on an arcade stick.
And last but, not least… we have a Gundam kit that we have to assemble. Oh boy, I definitely did not think that this would be something included. I will have to assemble this at home as it does look a bit big. But, once this bad boy is built it will be going on my desk the next morning.
It’s an optical joystick that will fit into any MAS stick. Great if you want an American stick with IL buttons. I’ve been working on a bunch of these because of a friend of mine who loves MvC2.
@Gummo
I wish I was; TTSS is always so cool, but I never managed to find an opportunity to join in.
Major props to @Yenjoi 's Secret Santa; the MG Freedom Gundam 2.0 kit is an awesome one.
season’s greetings chaps!
