So it turns out being rematched it the best thing to happen in a redditgift exchange! My rematcher not only gave me three awesome T-shirts but also threw in some extras! I love both portal and resident evil so my rematcher hit the nail on the head! As far as I can gather there is no mention of any of this on my Reddit account, so I can only assume he was using black magic... If you are out there you mysterious Canadian Wizard, thank you very much! Like a phoenix rising from the flames, my faith in humanity has been wholly restored by your generosity! :-D
