Your Ultimate Swag Item

The_Saves

So what is everyone's favorite piece of swag so far? Anything special won or found? If you're proud of it then I'd love to hear about it!

Also; thanks to everyone that helped me get my ultimate piece of swag: An N-GAGE!!

Yeah! That's right, me and a buddy we're by far the first people to get the cards together and since he has an Iphone I got the N-Gage. Woot woot!

From a swag perspective, I was pretty dissapointed today. Maybe I just wasn't in the right places or talking to the right people, but I didn't get a whole lot.

By far, my favorite thing was the Fallout 3 Vault Survival Guide. Very cool, love the art style and tongue-in-cheek 50's style.

geeeeoffff

i got a couple t-shirts and stickers. maybe tomorrow will be better.

Didn't roam the Ex Hall much today (TF2! got rolled in round two...), but I agree with the Fallout survival guide so far.
This is my first PAX, so I don't know what all is available. I'm kind of hoping for maybe a tee or something like that. Or a free game. Free is good.

geeeeoffff

you can get a free copy of the new Brothers in Arms if you get a buzz cut

oh, and they will also spray paint HELL on the back of your head

lame swag... very lame... one neat little poster from altier or whatever, with that hot anime girl on it. Other than that nothing but crap with logos and ads for colleges and junk, all worthless. couple posters, but who really puts up posters with half of it being an ad... Seriously why don't they just give us posters without the dev and publisher and all that garbage on there, like we will forget or something when it's hanging on our freakin wall! The way it is I just either don't bother taking most of them or chuck them in the recycle.

Serously what's up with shwag at events anywehere these days, They don't realize that if they give us somthing cool and that we would cherish or want makes up many times more likely to be excited about their product than giving us a little freaking business card with their company logo on one side and the game name on the back... yay.

Geoff: Where is this?
Seriously, I need a haircut anyway, might as well do it for free stuff.

geeeeoffff

i was considering the buzz cut too, we'll see.

if you go into the exhibition room, turn right, go to the wall, and then turn left. keep going and you'll see an 'army camp' eventually. i dont' see it on the exhibit map. i think it's at aisle 1300 though

SpawnOfCthulhu

Sweet.

Do they give the Xbox 360 version away though?
Otherwise...
I might do it anyway.

geeeeoffff

they have a big picture of the 360 version. but i heard you can get the pc version too.

i just looked, and it isn't released yet, so i think they might mail it to you, which is far less satisfying.

SpawnOfCthulhu

Still though.
It's a free haircut, which is like 10 dollars, plus a sixty dollar game.
That's basically 70 dollars for HELL spraypainted on the back of my head that I can rinse off in the shower in about 3 minutes

Psylon

Did anyone check out the shirts at the Pirates of the Burning Sea booth? Pretty funny.

industrialgirl

Best swag so far was a tee shirt from the Turbine party for LotR online. It's even a girlie shirt! YAY!

adio92

My Very nice Left 4 Dead shirt waiting in line to play. Valve people are very nice, they also gave us water bottles.

geeeeoffff

i knew i should have waited in line, tomorrow i guess :-/

Psychoish

I brought something for the Duke from Freezepop to sign, and he threw in a free gift after signing it. I kinda look up to him, so I think that's pretty awesome.

Plutonium

I scored a case of Brawndo.

featherthefish

scored a skateboard deck and backpack and ball shooter from champions online fir telling them the chameleon was spiderman's first enemy

capnjack

I think the really good swag is coming on Saturday. GET READY PAXERS!!!

SWATJester

A TN Games beanie/snowboard hat (whatever you call it, I'm from Florida, we don't have those). BF Heroes beta key was pretty nice too. LOTRO shirt from the Turbine party.

GameOver!

I won a hot-pink tee shirt that said "Get FD Up" from frag dolls. Im proud.

Also, is the Brothers in Arms thing a buzz cut, or a clean shave?

geeeeoffff

buzz cut, so you get a little left on top, but nearly shaved everywhere else.

Queen Brewer

My coolest item of swag would have to be the ATA cable from Antec. It glows under UV light! I can hook it up to my floppy drive.

AlphaTwo

Won 1st place in Midnight Club, got a shirt and hat.

Any other cool free stuff around?

yanyan

I got a Dawn of War 2 shirt while standing at the THQ area and watching Darksiders. Unfortunately its too small for me (a small) but it fits my friend :^:

The_Reflection

i just won a champions online skate deck, then got it signed, and if I may say so, made way better, by the dudes at Mega64.

CaptainTapole

I won a Logitech Controller for the PC from the FragDolls.

...Don't play on the PC, but The Boyfriend does.

ArcticXC

This is Atlus.

How are people not finding the good swag? This is my first convention ever and there's been no shortage of swag being thrown my way. Shirts, narutos, posters, and plaenty of other cool stuff I can compete for easily. Although my favorite swag is catching up with Adam Sessler, Scott Kurtz, and Felicia Day and chatting them up and getting pictures with them.

Incenjucar

Last year they basically started you off with a huge bag'o'swag, and there were demo disks EVERYWHERE.

This year things have been thinner and have required more time commitment, like the Fallout stuff requiring you to go to the panel. I bet whoever got the Luck card did a little dance as soon as they got out of sight of all the people who would have mugged them for it. :P

FatimusPrime

So far I haven't noticed anyone finding the Resistance 2 shirt that I did, the guy just gave it to me while I was playing, he even had different sizes! xD

Arco

I think I did pretty well today:

The pet is the mini Tyrael pet.

That's what being able to name all 7 Diablo II classes at the Blizzard trivia event gets you.

GeeCee

On Friday at the beginning, I think some booth was giving out these little plastic balls.. when you toss them up in the air or shake them or something, the white sides flip over to reveal a black side. I really really want one of these.

Arco

Hotel roomate of mine just won a PS3 signed by Gabe. No shit. Sent me pictures.



I can't remember his forum handle ATM, but when I find it I'll direct him in here to brag all over the place. Grats to him!

Shalamar

I just attended my First PAX. (Sort Of)

And I ended up with the Skateboard deck from the Champions Online booth. I tried to hand it back to them, but they insisted.

PliskiN|SnaKe

Just the DII classes? Think they'd ask something a little harder...
Re: Fallout panel loots; it was an awesome panel to attend on its own and getting a sweet goodie was just an extra bonus (vault dweller puppet for me). When I was in line to pick up my loot, the guy beside me in line was yammering about how the woman in front of him (who got in his way) scored the Luck. Dunno, but holy crap that prize!

Anyone else avoiding Left 4 Dead and Fallout 3 plays because of the lines? I got in the L4D line at 10:30 this morning, ditched after 10 minutes, went back two hours later and the two guys in front of me had just gotten to play. TWO HOURS for 15 minutes of play. There goes your day if you actually wait for that.

adio92

Wow that PS3 Is win. My Swag item of the day is a tie between the 4 free bawls from Eca, (signed up last year) or my tankman statue that i got for like 5 bucks by playing castle crashers.

Zankabo

I won a 1TB External Drive from the Frag Dolls, so that gets to be the big swag item for me.

FatimusPrime

I sadly avoided both Fallout and Left 4 Dead, as well as Gears 2 only because each and every station was many, many people deep. They should have added more stations to actually give people a chance to play.

geeeeoffff

oh my god i want a puppet. they said they would hand out more tomorrow but there doesn't seem to be a fallout3 presentation. i don't know what the plan is

JustinSane07

I wanna know who got the Luck card from the Fallout presentation. 5 years of XBL, 16000 thousand MS points and an Xbox360 Elite? I must know!

My coolest is the Fallout puppet and having Tycho sign my pass. I just need to get Gabe to do it... (be at the second Q&A panel).
