Camwhores: Uber Gaming Swag!(56k)

So yes, it is common for us in the gaming culture to be known to collect really rare, and otherwise known as uber swag from conventions, E3s of old age and other generally sweet things. Though this thread isn't really about that coin in the Oblivion "collectors" edition you bought, no, this is about actually rare memorabilia/toys/posters and otherwise shit that you just can't get off of eBay. So lets share our Prized possessions and both show off and drool. I know someone out there has a Donkey Kong Arcade system or Mario/Donkey Kong bed sheets...

So I suppose I will begin. I am sure anyone who is an avid online gamer since at least the new Millennium has heard of, or played the MMO, Dark Age of Camelot. Still relatively active today, it is still considered to have the best PvP systems out there and also considered the most competitive. I have been a huge fan ever since I got my hands on it and really haven't fully put it down since. Well I now have added two very rare treasures to my Bookshelf of Me. First is a retro quest journal promotional piece drawn up by one of DC Comic's artists, Inside it features aged blank pages for writing in what you need to do in game, etc. Near Mint condition.

And then I have the European DAoC Collectors Edition back when there was only the two Expansion packs, the Shrouded Isles and Trials of Atlantis and this one combined them all in a great leather covered book like case which comes with the game, a Medallion, and a piece of Wax and a Signet stamp... And a Personalized letter from one of the folks from Mythic themselves... Thanks Missy!

Btw, sorry about crappy blurry pictures, my camera doesn't do well in the dark. But yeah, thats my fair share of really rare shit that you can't ever find... so now your guy's turn...

    Is that... a glass pipe? Is there a quarter sack in that box, too?

    EDIT: Never mind, it's apparently a stamp. Whoops.

    There was a game convention in Singapore and I walked away with some NCSoft stuff that they didn't want to keep around at the end of the con.

    I don't have much, but my limited edition Ratchet and Clank qualifies, I'd have thought. I've never been able to find evidence that it even exists on the net - even the Insomiac forums weren't forthcoming with anything.

    My best guess is that it's what they sent out as review copies (the DVD itself is a regular 'promo copy only' disc that they usually use for that), but I don't really have a clue.

    I remember playing this as a kid, and I remember it being fun, but lame at the same time. It was fun because it was Zelda, but lame because it was a bad board game.

    I only met one person, I don't know who it was. I was hanging out at a coffee shop waiting for my girlfriend to get out of her lecture, so I looked them up and they were right down the street, so I stopped by and asked if they were hiring. The person directed me to their webpage and I left.

    Then they were bought by EA.
