Capcom’s Plans For PAX…I’m Gonna Need A Bigger Swag Bag
I’m packing my bags for the 2009 Penny Arcade Expo—packing empty bags, that is, in which to cram all my anticipated swag.
Luckily, Capcom’s supplied me with a list of what they’re planning on giving away or offering at their store on the weekend of PAX. That should make my attack strategy planning a bit easier.
The first 250 people to hit up their booth on Friday and Saturday score passes to a Resident Evil 5 PC launch party. At said party, Capcom will be giving away:
—Customized TriCell ID badges (meh)
—RE5 snow globes of dubious snowiness (I thought the game took place in quasi-Saharan Africa?)
—Majini makeovers (I’m not sure if that means they make you look like one or they let one go to work on your face.)
The booth, meanwhile, will have tons of stuff from the Capcom Store that you can pay real money for—like the Street Fighter Femme Fatale sticks Fahey blogged. I might seriously consider forking money over to them, having seen the giant-sized Poogie plush from Monster Hunter. Hopefully, though, some of what’s at the store might be part of the giveaways Capcom plans to do throughout the day, so I’ll just keep checking back. If my swag bag doesn’t fill up, that is.
Oh—and they’ll have games, too:
RE5 PC, Spyborgs, Fate/Unlimited Codes, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, Lost Planet 2, Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth, and more!
See you on the floor, Kotakuites. Like last year, I’m pulling a Plebian act, so you’ll probably have an easier time spotting me than Fahey or Totilo.

Maybe the snowglobes will turn out to be sandglobes? Would that even work? I get the feeling the sand would just gloop around to ball.
....I want that pig. I only have the watermelon piggie plushie from the 2G release....

Didn't they give out those RE5 snow globes as a preorder bonus?

@ShadowOdin of dubious snowiness: Hopefully the snow globe includes enough rocks for the characters to punch also...
Flyhawk
@zenfluence: me neither...

OH NO!!! I FORGOT MY SWAG BAG!!!! Does anyone know where I can buy a good bag in Seattle?

I still have my Resistance 2 swag bag from last year. Man the memories. It's almost PAX time!

My god I need that Poogie. Yes need. If only it was in the Naked King costume. That would be even better.
I got so much awesome swag at PAX last year. Like the email address of the lead developer of Resistance 2!

@-Skyline-: Voted Crecente 12': the original post has been updated and shows Dark Void on the list of games
@-Skyline-: that was a mistake on my part. Dark Void WILL be shown as well. I've amended the original post on Capcom Unity. Sorry for the confusion, gang.

POOGIE PLUSH PLS. KTHXBAI

@-Skyline-: Dark Void will be there, I've amended the original post on Capcom Unity to reflect that. Sorry for the confusion, gang.

If they have Pugis, I am buying a Pugi...
"Snow globes of dubious snowiness" will from this day on be my handle.
Also, it's probably a metal junk-globe, with metal junk from the half of the game you spend running around in sterile corridors.
Sorry, couldn't read what you said over my anticipation for the new Jockey infected in Left 4 Dead 2.
Can't believe there's still no sign of Dead Rising 2. What's their excuse this time? Can't be swine flu since it looks like they've slaughtered the pigs to make those dolls. BTW I think Totillo would like one of those dolls.
Screw you guys, I already got my tickets to East Coast PAX.
...OK I am jealous.

and yet another thing that I cant go to...

@OmegaNemesis28: I'm afraid not even Jesus himself can help you with that my friend.
@-Skyline-: Voted Crecente 12': I was surprised by lack of Dead Rising too.
Since the Swine Flu scare kept the dev team from showcasing it at E3, I was wondering when we'd be getting a real look at the game.
@OmegaNemesis28: Give it time... it takes a while
-Skyline-: Voted Crecente 12'
I bet you they'll be sand globes. And yes I would happily take a Majini makeover to the face for some swag. Pain is temporary, SWAG is forever!!!
No Dark Void? or Dead Rising 2?

Unfortunately, since playing Crysis Warhead, when I read PAX I think of the Plasma Accumulator Cannon.
@xblindx: YES PLS.
