It's exactly like Secret Santa except the object is to give a terrible game you think your person will hate.

Last year people thought the $15 pricecharting value was too high, so this year I am lowering it.

Your game must have a minimum value of $10 based on Price charting for a game in similar condition. (If it's on the cusp, take a screenshot for proof). That makes things interesting so that we don't just buy the cheapest craptiest game in the gamestop bargain bin. Note you don't necessarily have to pay $10, that just needs to be its pricecharting value. If you have a poop game already that fits the bill, by all means feel free to use it

You can send multiple games if you want, but at least one of them must individually meet that $10 threshold. (So a $10 game plus a $2 bonus game is fine, but sending five $2 games by themselves is not).

Creativity in packaging or sending bonus items may be fun and hilarious, but is by no means required. If you do receive something creative, please take pics and share, it will be more fun for all of us.

Games should be mailed by Friday March 24 (first class or priority) to ensure timely delivery. You can PM me the tracking number once you have sent and I will forward it to your recipient. It is recommended (but not required) that you not open your game until April 1 to enhance the surprise.

Then on April 1 (a Saturday!) we all play them and moan about how bad they are and laugh and commiserate together.

Post here if you are genuinely interested, and I'll add you to the list. If we get at least ten people, then we'll do it!

At that point I'll send a survey out to everyone to get addresses, the systems they have available to play, and other helpful info. Then I'll randomize everyone's names to make sure everyone has a Satan assigned to them.

My goal ia to get the surveys and send everything back out by May 10. That should give everyone about two weeks to find the perfect worst game for your target and mail it. Remember, be evil but not predictable.

Mine hasn't arrived yet, but I'll be sure to let you know when it has.

Even though I ordered a game for my victim from someone on Ebay on March 15th, the seller was being a pain and didn't ship it in a timely manner. It was supposed to get to me so I could specially wrap it and send it on it's way. Once I realized that I wouldn't get it in time, I went ahead bought another one, this time sending it directly to my victim in order for it to get there in time. So, today, the first copy of the game that I ordered arrived. I'm going to play it some, just to get a taste of the horror that the recipient will have to endure.

Zaten_iz_nice!

So I've just played the first two levels of this game. All I can say is that it is doing a pretty good job of living up to my expectations.

laughing out loud So what you're confirming is that your recipient is indeed receiving a terrible game?

When I said enjoy, I wasn't saying it was me who sent it. In fact it wasn't me who sent it. I was just saying that I got that game for last year's exchange and so I know what the game is like.

I actually was also sent the Bee Movie with the game :) Fun movie. Seinfeld as the main character fit well, imo.

I almost sent my giftee hot pepper jelly beans in addition to their game, but I didn't want to cause actual physical pain, so I didn't do it.

Last time I had one of those "exotic" animal Jerry things, the package said it was part beef and part the other animal. Was very disappointed to find that out.

Almost as bad as the time I noticed the Swedish Fish candy was made in Canada

😆 Tbh, I thought kangaroo jerky was just the name of a brand of regular beef jerky. There's actual kangaroo meat for consumption?

Race With Ryan - Satan was wrong. For free, this was pretty decent. You can auto accelerate and auto steer. Go into the options and disable narration and you remove the stupid pop up sounds of Ryan telling you stuff as well as other crap. Even on hard mode, once you're so far ahead of the AI it's an auto win. Took about 3 hours to get the Platinum Trophy. I mostly played it during downtime at work. Pretty okay he honestly.

Aww I failed frown Ryan is banned in our house, had no idea you could turn off the narration in the game, none of the research or stuff I did mentioned that frown

I should have stuck with my original idea which was basically a quantic dream clone

Yeah this game isn’t bad. I remember it being better than the Nickelodeon racer. Wasn’t the worst mario kart clone. And you turned off his voice?? That’s literally the worst part. Satan dodged!
