We got some boxes from y'all. Rather than post the contents in pictures, we're going to do a periscope unboxing in about an hour. Link will be posted below.

Finally have a reason to use the app (even if it's just to watch other people open presents).
Meh
Link is up in the OP!
So much BOC crap... so basically it moved from texas to wherever then back to texas! :)
@thismyusername
The end of the road is in Texas.
lolololol @hollboll was looking for her knife and I said to check the ceiling and then I think @galmaegi looked at the ceiling with the camera
made my day
@Lotsofgoats just being attentive you know ;)
I'll re-watch but... The left handed was a game controller from the 90's... :) The iphone case is the 6 Plus... :) The cahootie you have to put stickers on... the stickers are included...
@sohmageek
Did the strategy guide have the Mew glitch?
@FroodyFrog Dunno... you'd have to ask them... I don't have it to look up anymore :)
@sohmageek
Mulling it over, If it was an official guide, then i doubt it was in there.
While watching the video, i noticed that naturally your boxes brought delight (after all, who doesn't love pogs?!?)
Mine was literally garbage:
Batteries, 2 diff New Trent phone cases, 2 port car cigarette adapter with voltage indicator (have 2 smaller 2 porters already, and got a free 3 port one from ZeroLemon), wireless adapter, ipad air case, ipad 2 case, long usb cable, plastic cars from last Fuku, a random drawstring bag, a catalog, 3 piece phone mount kit, and a few other random things.
(Between you and me, i almost included my LG G Watch, unfortunately, there was no room in the box)
@FroodyFrog Mine was stuff that mostly I wanted to see someone enjoy as most of it I did... Not all of the games I played in the past... but I figure at WORST it's fuku filler... at best someone gets to enjoy it... They tried to do a back to the future... so I put some of my old nostalgia... yes some of it was "trash" in that they look at HEH that was awesome in it's day... then throw it away.. (one of the adapters was from a cue cat ps2 cat to usb adapter... )
I used to have 6 of the cuecats... mostly different versions, they were cheap (free) barcode scanners... the Pogs... well I kept most of mine.. but I cleaned out a small portion to add to the nostalgia... Now @Matthew's box.... that's all new... and I have a feeling that he will either love it, or I will have brought down the wrath of Irk upon my family for 7 generations...
@sohmageek
I'd have loved the magazines in the early 2000s. Granted, they look like they were worn, but that's irrelevant.
Hearing some of the game names transported me to happier times. With the exception of "Baldwins Gate", of course. That just had me laughing.
I may not have had as many PC games as that, but i felt the nostalgic presence :)
@FroodyFrog I still have a stack of the old game mags... Something could be arranged...
Yay boogies!!
@hollboll is not it pronounced "tee-humper-chick" ?!
@connorbush edit "tee; humper chick"
@connorbush In my head it will always be Thumper Chick.
@sohmageek Such a good box! A little jealous of some of those items you sent!
@hollboll The YouTube video is set to private- no one can see it currently.
@hollboll did mine not make it? UPS says it was signed for by CORY on 12/17/2015 at 11:53 A.M.
@thismyusername hey @TaRDy I blame you for CORY keeping the junk I sent to meh for himself.
@thismyusername I think I have it on my desk! Currently drowning in post-Christmas emails but as soon as I find out for sure I'll open it and post! :D
@hollboll that is good! it's mostly crap but wanted to make sure you and @galmaegi got the customer outrage exterminator... might come in handy :)
@thismyusername
@hollboll & @moose : I'd be really surprised if I did send a 2nd copy of Return of the Jedi, but if I did, copy #2 is the better one- it's definitely not a special edition and is an earlier VHS release than the previous one.
Also, if you want to play Myst, I can help make that happen- just get in touch.
Looks like a viable option for small electronics recycling...
@duodec Best Buy takes them for free though...
@sohmageek
At least if we ship broken stuff to Meh, then they have to deal with it (and possibly get annoyed). Slightly more entertaining this way.
@duodec If your stuff is still in one piece, I'd suggest checking out iFixit's device donation program.
Free shipping for your items, and a repair manual gets made for your item.
woohoo, I only got halfway through and was blamed only once! Thanks @jqubed!
Also, I can't believe someone gave up their copy of XIII, I loved that game!
@TaRDy I can't see the video, it's telling me it's private. Is it the camera I finally returned? That wasn't even a present; I was supposed to send that back months ago!
@jqubed yes it was the camera, they said it wasn't part of the gifts but wanted to eat your funky booger candy on camera
@jqubed If the periscope steam is still up, you can watch that. Otherwise, eventually the stream will get fixed and set to public.
@jqubed I think I fixed it? If not, lmk
@hollboll Did you find the special stuff in the bag? ;)
@hollboll Fixed!
@hollboll 😂 That was far more entertaining than I anticipated! I wasn't expecting a video of trying things. That shipping mistake was really from February? I promise I bought the candy this fall, I think October or November (no guarantees on how long it was sitting in that candy shop, though)! I thought I sent some candy bricks, too, kind of like Legos; did they not survive? I was afraid they might get crushed into powder.
@jqubed glad you liked it! I think we sold those things in February, but they arrived in March. Candy didn't taste stale though! I didn't see any bricks, but maybe @galmaegi did?
@jqubed Candy bricks? Hm, I'm not so sure. @hollboll I guess we'll get those candy bricks sometime next year? :D
