    Signed Guildwars 2 Artbook, hands down.

    Getting two free shirts from bethseda though was pretty nice, and they were really very friendly and chatty with us yesterday!

    While technically it wasn't "swag", the No More Heroes 2 Toilet Paper was cool. My wife grabbed me a few rolls from a broken dispenser.

    I think my Samus t-shirt is pretty damn cool.

    Pretty pedestrian, I know. Maybe not the best, but fun.

    PunkJr gave me a button that says "I'm drunk-tweeting this."

    Not sure if buttons count, but I laugh everytime I think about it.


    Oooooh, and the Bioshock posters are pretty gorgeous.

    First, @ toilet paper, someone at Pax would like you to hand over your skull.

    2nd, I really like the Wet t-shirt and now that I will arrive an hour late, I hope I get a bag from Demon blade or someone else.

    The $1000 that I won for shaking my ass at Just Dance tops my list. Video card from Nvidia comes second. Guild Wars signed art book is third. RE: 5 Sandglobe (it's so terrible!) is fourth. I also really like the Dead Space Extraction tees - so that's fifth.

    Miscellany: Mana/health potion and gamer grub samples have kept me going today. Aiming for an uncharted 2 shirt and an inflatable wrench starting, well, now.

    The Dustoff Cell phone screen cleaners are fantastic as well.

    I really wanted one of the L4D shirts but the line was always riduculously long. I got close once, waited an hour, but a tourney I signed up for was about to start... So I left. I was borderline willing to camp the short booth and offer to pay for one of them...

    Nifty stuff I got:
    black/gray Mario and luigi beanie
    guild wars 2 art book signed by 5 devs (that's what I'll assume they were, they were offering to sign it and had important looking shirts on)
    water bottle from, was it death spank? I'm tired and can't remember to well...
    PAX08 DVD set from the line games

    my friend got the blue Merch backpack from the dofis giveaway. I was jealous.

    i don't know why i read these threads, i'm just going to rage when the people who won raffles start piping up.

    I really like the Guild Wars 2 art book. i've never played guild wars, but i may have to now.

    My favorite shirt was the "Ballad of Gay Tony" shirt from Rockstar. it's pretty fabulous.

    The most interesting swag I got was a clear plastic Mickey Mouse-like hand from those guys in the back right with the "keyboard glove" thing.

    If you flip it over you can put candy in it.

    This was t-shirt year - yeah, there are always t-shirts, but this time it seemed everyone was giving 'em out. I think I got, like, 8 t-shirts, and I wasn't even trying.

    I like APB enforcer shirt a lot, as well as the free kotor. On the other hand, I was hoping for some Blizz swag, and found none. Maybe I need to look harder. :)

    i don't know if it's the same this year, but last year blizzard quietly handed out some neat swag to those who were waiting in line to play their games.

    not by itself, but together, the green screen photos I've gotten i really enjoy.

    -magic TCG party's photo
    -star wars cantina green screen, they give you a lightsaber and a jedi robe. I picked some wookies in my background.
    -driving game? I got myself with a helmet, sunglasses and a steering wheel as cars are blowing up behind me
    -aion. I'm posing with black angel wings

    together all those are the best. sperately uh, I goe 6 bags of swag from everywhere

    Sadly not this year. I waited in line and played SC2 and Diablo3 on different days. The only thing I didn't play was Wow, because I play that enough at home. lol.
    Really, its no big deal. I just figured that they are the company that I spend the most time playing their games. I wouldn't mind getting a tshirt, keychain, or something. Although, with Blizzcon so recently, I am glad they made the effort to have so many terminals for us to play. They make awesome games, even if we get no freebies. :)

    that would have been Peregrine, and that hand thing is actually a massager. They also gave out this spray hand sanitizer that was pretty cool
