Hands down, this was the best gift exchange Santa I have ever had (no offense to past Santas, but this one REALLY killed it).

I first received a message with a mysterious Steam code... NO. WAY. DOOM! I couldn't believe it. And that would have been amazing enough but in the same message Santa revealed this was part 1 of 2!

Soon enough I get a shipping confirmation and a tracking number... but the tracking number looked... different. After thinking about it, I realized... it was binary! And it spelled Batman! So I conversed with Santa about my discovery and awaited shipment #2, which arrived early the next week.

In package number 2 was a note along with lots of my favorite candies. The note itself revealed that this was now shipment 2 of 3! Apparently, I was so impressed with my Santa's binary code tracking number that they felt obliged to step up their game.

I was directed to use the contents of the note to figure out what my third and final gift was. HOW FUN!

After reading and rereading the note I realized... left justified. Hmm... not COMPLETELY out of the ordinary, but it certainly seemed purposeful. So I checked out the first letter of every line... AND IT SPELLED SOMETHING. SEPTTHIRTEEN.

So I messaged Santa again and informed them I figured out that September 13 must mean something. I was informed to use the power of Google (which I had already started to do!). I came up with a few video game release dates... The Bioshock Collection and ReCore... certainly games I am interested in but not that I made any mention of. Then it hit me... BATMAN! So I typed in September 13 Batman... EUREKA! TellTale's Batman releases in disc form on September 13th. I messaged Santa in disbelief... and I was sent a screenshot of the order confirmation.

I repeat... BEST. ARBITRAY DAY. EVER. I am blown away by your generosity, Santa. I only wish I knew your username. THANK YOU!
