It's always fun to see what everyone walks away with, and maybe trade if you're missing something or have duplicates. So what did you guys stuff your bags with on the way out the door?
My camera's dead, but here's a brief list of what I'm looking at on my floor:
5 t-shirts
RSPD collector's edition
WOW trial
Magic starter set
imperial assload of buttons
bag of aussie food
PAX 07 DVD set
assortment of stickers, dog tags and rub on tattoos (I'm a sucker for this stuff)
a nifty bag to keep it all in
oodles of memories (D'AWWW)
Admittedly, I tried intentionally to keep swag to a minimum due to the move that's coming up soon (and the need to store cookie-related stuff in the box )... but I did indulge one secret desire.
When I heard that Turbine had Asheron's Call T-Shirts, I raced over there and grabbed one. I didn't care that all they had left was one that was two sizes too small for me. In the world of MMO's, there's always been a special place in my heart for Asheron's Call.
Oh, and the buttons, and memories of course. (woot! )
Speaking of memories, it was good running into you Liger! Yea!
3 shirts (one swag, one my omeganaut one and the other my enforcer shirt)
A cool coin thingy and dog tags from Tabula Rasa
An adorable plushie I gave to my kids
Several posters
Aion bracelet
Guild Wars pins
Guild Wars signed art book and print
A bunch of paper ads I threw away
And forum buttons from all my friends, but I dunno if thats "swag" persay
not included: standard entrance swag, Dungeon runners blinking chain
NES cartridges: Zelda, Blades of Steel, Super C, Mario 3. Each autographed by a member of RetroforceGO!
Minibosses CD autographed
One-ups CDs Autographed
its not much, but i pretty much went to go PAX for minibosses and retroforceGO! everything else was just gravy.
first time PAX but me and my girlfriend had a ton of fun. Got a ton of loots too (to distribute to my non-pax attending friends(if you can truely call someone who didnt attend pax a friend)
I also got a Dawn of War II poster signed (they made fun of me for telling them how to spell my name), a Fallout 3 poster, a Battlefield Heroes beta card, some shirt for some game that they were handing out on the last day, a WCTT/PAXtrain t-shirt, an awesome ninja Pikachu shirt that Brian Jo's entourage was handing out... and... I think that's it.
Arco on

i think it was actually 37...but 10 of them were from Archon when the ladies were handing out as many as you wanted a couple hours before the doors closed. I'm giving those to all my friends who couldn't make it to PAX this year.

Haha, we didn't get any swag, I don't think. We bought a pac man beanie plush and a ghost beanie plush-- those are pretty cool. We should have bought the whole set. We're pretty minimalist people, though... nothing bugs us more than "stuff".
