For the second year in a row, our Steamy Santa signup has closed down, the magic sorting hat and magic postman have improbably completed their respective tasks, and the suckers named below have been transformed into holiday-themed victims, ripe for Gabe Newell snausage machine torture:

• CCP
• Cidsa grifted Gafwyn
• Doolan snagged Raws
• Drubo digitally assaulted Kevin
• Gafwyn molested Shawn… with FUN
• Jep
• Kevin
• Mav
• Monkfish drew Cidsa
• Raws ruined CCP
• SilentBob

Now, friends (?), it is time for the worst part of all: receiving and playing your games! As Steamy Santa mentioned in your email, there’s no hard deadline, but try to post something here about your experience before Steamy Santa 2012.

To start things off, I have been blasted full of baba yetu by Dools, with some hot Civ V turn-based love. I’ll do my best to keep my playtime as close to a single hour as possible, otherwise I might still be working on my after-action report by the time Steamy Santa 2013 rolls around.

As a special holiday bonus, the venerable and venereal Lods has also generously hit me with a copy of Worms Reloaded! My free time has never seen such perilous straits.

Drubo has gifted me Hacker Evolution Duality! Help computer! Stop all the downlolling!

Gaf was my Steamy Santa this year, and was very awesome indeed. Gifting me both Terraria and the DoD expansion, alongside the game Rock of Ages, which I will now play through knowing literally nothing about the game. All I know is that there is no way on earth it could be worse than what Ross SS’ed me last year… fucking graveyard making me want to kill myself.

fucking graveyard making me want to kill myself.

yes

Also a bunch of us have gotten our Worms: Reloaded on, resulting in kinky hijinks. For some god-awful reason, Team17 wrote the game for both Mac and PC, but didn’t bother to make the two multiplayer-compatible…

Shawn got me The Baconing as well as Space Pirates And Zombies, with the message that one was from my wishlist and one was a steamy santa gift. But as I don’t think I’ve ever put anything on my steam wishlist, I’ll just treat it as a double whammy of 2 steamy santa games. Whoa!
