Secret Satan gift exchange TIME TO PLAY

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.

I'd still rather play it then have to watch Love Hina again, so there is that at least...

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.

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.

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

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.
