The "Yahtzee" Birthday Spectacubash

[Cheesebob]

Buy him Yahtzee

He'd never expect it!

Since he seems to like flight simulators (based on the HAWX review) and we all know he loves Volition (creators of Saints Row 2), does anyone else here think he'd like a copy of Freespace 2? It's been critically acclaimed as one of the best flight sims ever, created by Volition, and it combines these two things that he seems to like.

Just my thought.

i hate to ruin everyones fun, but there is a minor, slightly major problem, noone will know where he lives. I mean you cant trust wiki (if it is on there) as I can imagine yatzee being the type of person who would go out of their way to but a fake address on or to have it removed. And good luck getting it from the main staff there are laws against giving that sort of info out without consent, and im sure if you ask the big man himself he will tell you to painfuly shove some unsavory item up some unsavoury place. I mean hes not stupid hes not gouing to give fans his home adress. Good idea but i just dont think it would work.

This.

Also you should give him a Pokemon game, I'm surprised he rarely touches the DS.

send him a hooker in a cake!!!

with the cake having written all over it "THE CAKE IS A LIE"

and when he oppens the box the song from portal would begin

and in the middle the hooker would come out and dance for him

then she would trow all the games you all donated and gave her at him

that is if the hooker is not already dead from the trip

meh, i don´t think he will appreciate that unless you sent him money or a hooker... he seems the tipe that would go "damn people" and trow the box into the garbage, but anywhay, he is a good person so i hope this comes out ok.

Why don't you just use steam for any pc games. If you can get him to give you his steam id.

Send him liquor.

Perfect.

is it possible to mail liquor?

 

[Godhead]

Want to give him something he hates? Anything by Peter Molyneux.

 

[Olikunmissile]

He'll either love the idea, or hate it. But PUT MY NAME ON THE CARD!

Brilliant! This will get past the whole region thing.

But, I think we should do this in conjunction with the box.

Has Peter Molyneux made any Wii games yet?

 

[Thespian42]

Maybe I could do some poseing in Garrys Mod and we could include that with the cd or something?

Sure. Whatever you see fit to do. We'll eventually get a final product plan together, with everything we're sending, as well as how we're sending it, so go for it. Make your pics, and we'll see if they should be in the final product.

Send him liquor.

.....what? Why?

Nice idea in theory... however I fear you may have issues bringing it to fruition. Good luck with it though.

May I make the following suggestions -
1) Have a sender as someone in Australia if you are set on the idea. This will reduce postage due to the fact its already in the country.
2) The concept of making a game might be a little difficult. I have been using C/C++ for the past 2 years in my degree and it is not friendly.
3) Finding a trustworthy neutral third party to send this is going to be nigh on impossible, so point 1 maybe a bit useless.
4) Surprise is never going to be an issue. To be honest you are better off trying to contact Yatzhee and find a way to effectively get his gifts to him. It will save hassle trying to find a third party and might work out better in the long run.

Maybe this will be helpful, maybe not. Sadly I'm out of pocket and time so I will be unable to contribute to this, but good luck anyway. Is a fine idea.
