your dearest santee says:

1 - name all of the following media formats you would be capable of playing/reading: Vinyl record, VHS, DVD, Bluray, CD-ROM, Laserdisc, CED (hell of a longshot there), 3.5 inch floppy, 5.25 inch floppy, Zip disc.

2 - retro video game stuff y/n ?

3 - if retro games yes, name some retro games you like / systems you like

4 - types of movies u like


i was gonna get u a hat but do u know how hard it is to find that Stinko hat from that gif??/

1. at the moment: DVD, Bluray, CD, 3.5" floppy (ironically at one time I did have a Zip drive)

2. very yes

3. systems I currently possess: Atari 2600 (lol), Sega Saturn (JP), Dreamcast, N64, NDS/GBA, 3DS, Wii/GCN, Wii U, 360, PSP, PS2/PS1, PS4
at one point we had an OG Xbox around but I don't know what happened to it (which sucks, I wanted to try Gun Valkyrie because 360 emulation fucks up the controls and literally makes it unplayable. Also, Metal Wolf Chaos)
as a kid I went straight from NES to N64 and didn't experience the SNES/Genesis console wars, and emulating them doesn't evoke the same feeling, imo. same goes for the Neo Geo, which I love, but lol @ AES prices and/or having a loose MVS PCB or cab in a small apartment
I've also always been curious about weirder/niche stuff like the Wonderswan and PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16. my absolute favorite game genres are racing, rhythm, adventure, and action/platformers. RPGs with a better than average story and/or non-tedious battles are cool. I love fighting games but absolutely suck at them

4. comedies with offbeat or dark humor (coen bros. films, In Bruges), sci-fi (I loved the recent "hard" sci-fi trifecta of Gravity/Interstellar/The Martian, but more fictional stuff is good too), mystery/thriller (Chinatown is still one of my favorite movies), fascinating documentaries (Planet Earth is a great example, and I just recently saw both Going Clear and Enron, though I still need to see Zero Days). I'll start watching pretty much anything if it doesn't look stupid (or is so incredibly stupid/bad that it is more funny than painful; I do like to riff on awful movies). find me an animated film in one of the aforementioned categories for bonus points

wow that's a lot of words, sorry. also lol at that hat idea. don't think I'd wear that one too often, though

i'm not swimming in interests over here. obviously anything security but already have enough books and locks. beyond that it's always dark, cold, windy and raining here so outside poo poo/mealworms are a bit of a waste

not into retro gaming, and already have about everything i'm interested in playing already. got xcom fan poo poo already, don't play boardgames though

far as alcohol i mainly drink rum, and the only beer i can tolerate is belgian but already stocked up over here

any dumb local things would be interesting, beyond that ask your terrible santee more specific questions

e: i drink a lot of tea but in those double-sized mugs

1b.) Similarly, any technology families that just aren't your jam or that you already have too vast a hoard of?

2.) Are you a coffee and/or tea drinker?

oh lord

1a.) I've had to limit my video tape collecting to things that I can specifically use in my art: i.e. unmarked/mysterious betacam tapes with potential raw footage, corporate promotional/internal videos on VHS, etc to avoid filling up the entirety of my storage unit. I'll take any cool poo poo you might want to throw my way, but remember I get infinite free VHS tapes of pretty much any mass-market media thing at work :v:
1b.) at this point... I'd say anything too bulky for the same reason (am currently living in dorm room). let's say avoid A/V equipment, old game consoles, and most old computers (I've got enough sparcstations, SGIs, macs, and amigas to cause issues when I need to move things around)

2.) I'm not a big fan of coffee, but I like tea and yerba mate. I've been planning to get a kettle or something so I can stop making it a cup at a time in my microwave.

an enotnert tip from someone who has shipped a lot of booze. . .

you will see marking it as "yeast samples" as a common way of doing things. . . this has gotten me held up more than often.

I have never had a package held up when labeled as "local soda"

Which in my neck of the woods a "road soda" is a beer you drink while driving, so not too far off the truth.

also don't drink and drive, the custom of the road soda is no more than 1, on normally abandoned country roads.

When shipping from Canada, I ship alcohol as as "Maple Syrup" since it always comes in fancy rear end bottles.

Though I'm usually shipping maple whiskey so...

cannot legally be sold as vodka
Last year my santa drop shipped me my booze from a local (or at least EU) retailer and then mailed some other stuff by hand. Check around as even the most obscure booze is probably being sold by someone in that country and you may well save yourself a fortune in shipping fees.

hello

1 - i prefer bluray over dvd, if available.

2 - either is fine, i generally play older games though. my pc has a gtx 650. the only current gen console i have is a wiiu. i particularly enjoy mediocre first person shooters because i'm a fool. i also enjoy old adventure games (fmv based is a plus; again, because i'm a fool). but really pretty much any genre is fine.

3 - as in planting them or whatever? not really.

4 - yes but not those extremely spicy "satan's butthole" 1 million scoville things.


bonus round - yes but i'm rubbish at it.
