@JakeDunn: Thanks dude. Glad I went there 'cause I hadn't seen the hilarious Liberty City Gun Club trailer yet, but no real gameplay footage. I would have thought there would be some by now. I'm just dying to see video of Niko just strolling around LC to get a little taste of the awesomeness. Oh well...

El Patricko

I was going to ask who still finds the shocker funny, but now I know.

The Count of Monte Fisto

We're getting the game, that's more than enough, do something for charity with the rest.

Cruithne

I think you should follow your heart, Brian. Yes that's right, give them to a Kotaku reader!

I kid, i kid...

Nereos

It would be wicked to get that stuff, but hey, its for a good cause and an awesome charity. Let the charity have it :D

Skitzoap

Charity man, charity.
tw=CW?

Angryrider

technically that is a giant foam finger for grand theft auto 7, but the fingers need to be spread out.

cebweb

lol the foam finger is the shocker

cravy

I assume you don't mean giving this to some children for Child's Play directly and auctioning it for funds instead..it's not a kid's game after all.

Lemming

JakeDunn

The internet cafe is named twat? I find that rather funny. We haven't had a Kotaku hunt in a few months. That is some nice swag too!

invictus

JakeDunn

I'm jonesin' for straight up, single player gameplay footage. How 'bout it? ....PLEASE? Rockstar... Kotaku.... anyone??? Maybe just like 30 seconds of a 4 or 5 star violence rampage?

El Patricko

@jayntampa: I agree. That stuff seems great, but working with a charitable organization myself, 'tis much better to give than receive.

Besides, I've gotten enough presents today as it is. So fun to have your birthday on tax day! Sigh...

Spoony Bard

Save it for Funde Razor.

cybereality

Have a GTA themed competition, commentators have 2 weeks to steal as many cars as possible and not get caught. Its quality that counts though, the more cash the cars are worth the better chances you have at winning the prize.

Geckosan

ProsaCC

Its all about the Foam Finger but whers the GTAIV novelty hat? perfect for when it launches..... do you think gamecrazy will have a midnight launch?

Elijah Man

@Crecente:

If you let me have these, I clean Kotaku towers.

okenny :)

@jayntampa:

Good idea there my man.

enewtabie

@jayntampa: That's a pretty good idea. I'd second it.

DorkimusPrime

Foam Shocker FTW!

Gray665

I'd love to have the Twat mousepad.

mgy

@Kanik: HAHA! I'd so put it on my car for a day or two.

KK

KittenKiller

Oh,I want the license plate soooo bad.(Looks around office for stuff to trade..)

How about a dress up as Niko contest? lol

enewtabie

tw@! Classic! I agree, now would probably be a good time to put it out there.

It's pretty awesome that you're even considering doing that. Once again proving that "those that have, give more." I keep trying to tell my friends that when we get into deep conversations such as, "Is it Christian to be rich."

ANYWAY, awesome stuff and awesome ideas.

KK

KittenKiller

This has me thinking...how long until we see a news report of a hit and run where the witness states that the license plate said "Liberty City"

Kanik

What thats it? Time for bad review

Kyle81

m3lkor

The word "Bribery" comes to mind.

mishakoz

Two in the pink, one in the stink. The next GTA game is going to probably have a baby with a ball-gag in its mouth as promo in order to keep the shock value ascending.

denki

God i know i don't ask much but could you please convince Bash to throw this into a contest involving kittens?

Cchrist

What no game? I think they are holding back on you.

KK

KittenKiller

My suggestion, eBay it for Funde Razor while GTA4 mania is in full bloom. Everyone wins ... some fan get's awesome stuff, Funde Razor gets to give more money to Child's Play.

Or, better yet, have a public auction in a thread -- that would be fun to watch :D

jayntampa

HOLY CRAP FOAM FINGER!!!

I want that. Bad.

Atsumi

The Shocker....

Kandoh

MURDERFACE

@male roof blower: I believe 4 fingers makes it the much revered "canadian crippler".

El Patricko

This will complete me. I want so badly.................................................................

ShiNZ

Maybe I fail at counting, but I think there are only 3 fingers in the shocker, not 4.

male roof blower

oh snap! i NEED that foam hand. if you let me get that foam hand i will walk around my office all day with it on and snap pictures. i need that hand something fierce, just think of all the fun i could have.

GHETTO.CHiLD

Oh man oh man oh man. I want this.

TheManator

Mustakrakish

WreckTheLaw

WreckTheLaw

WreckTheLaw

sure as much as everyone here would love to get there grubby little mits on your swag save it for the carity auction...although i hope the irony of auctioning of an 18+ rated game's paraphernalia is not lost on everyone...especially the tw@ mouse mat!!!!

SSJ4_Macd

Kill two birds with one stone. Give the swag to a Kotaku reader with a debilitating illness.

El Patricko

Heh, they ripped off the CW logo for the mousepad:

The-Mighty-KrilDog

Child's play, definitly.

flubbity

How about a contest with a 10$ entry fee or something?

Best of both worlds. :)

Woodwater

@Cchrist: WAR KITTENS?!

animal2185yosh

Luckeeey! Where's my box o' goodies. I guess I can call Rockstar!

animal2185yosh

Give it to Funde Razor Child's Play and you'll be giving You-Know-Who another excuse to rant.

Frank

I got a box of swag but it was only the foam finger, the smaller sticker, and a burger shot t-shirt.

jMonken

@El Patricko: Do you ask girls if they want the CC or your pee pee?

male roof blower

Funde it, there's always random swag you'll find us foaming at the mouth for any day of the week come contest time. At least this a complete package when it comes fundraiser time.

MelodyKitn

How about I let you name my first born child, and I get all the swag!

arepeegee

bonecows

I'd gladly take the hat or lapel pin.

InsidiousTuna

This isn't a good GTA post to talk shit on, because this is a story that I'd've written if I got the swag. That being said... this site is a lil' GTA heavy. I agree the game is a big deal, but when you can have a GTA News Weekly Wrap Up which is more size-able than your regular weekly round-up... I dunno.
I hate to bitch, because I'm reeeallly excited about GTA IV. I just hope it isn't effecting the rate of non-GTA posts.

TheRunningboard7

here is my suggestion...why don't you put it to EXCELLENT use and give it to me. I wanna be the coolest gamer out of my whole group to get it before the special edition releases...I'll even take pictures of me with the t-shirt..c'mon

mizzocd

@El Patricko: two hand together = demoralizer

have it for auction, your sure to get a high bid on some of this stuff

geoffcbassett

I never was a HUGE fan of GTA and RockStar, But I am converted.

Rockstar Endorses the Shocker, and so do I. Great minds think alike, no?

That mouse pad and license plate are AWESOME. Crecente, you must put that on your ride.

Derigor

"A foam GTA IV four-finger"
Ha, that's a shocker, son.

jamiedee

@SigmundTheSeaMonster: Really, did you expect maturity out of GTA? Ironic, the mature titles have no maturity to them.

@El Patricko: I don't see that working as a pick up line very often.

male roof blower

@male roof blower: I always give ladies a choice.

I say here is the CC, on the other hand, there's a fist.

(Surprisingly, I'm not single)

Cruithne

I'd say see if you can quickly get an autographed (by rockstar) copy of the collector edition of GTa4, combine it with this swag and quickly do an ebay sale and give the money to CP charity.

GPman

El Patricko

I just got it now! TW@ !!!

OMG. So clever and yet...immature.

TW@ ftw!!!

SigmundTheSeaMonster

@arepeegee: I'm sure your child is going to appreciate the name Manjory De McCreshcrahettson

male roof blower

Save it for the Funde Razor Brian! As much as I would love a shot at some of this stuff (I'm looking at you shocker and twat), I think it could really produce for a better cause.

Oh, and here's my contribution to the shocker posts...
[sidewayspony.com]

BoffrO

Come on people....support my idea....Hell, I'd pay a 20$ entry fee for that crap!

A contest with an entry fee. Funds go to Funde.

Woodwater

Swingers? That doesn't sound like a legendary baseball team Steinbrenner would own :D. I'm sure he would keep the name New Swinger Stadium though...

That shocker foam finger is amazing. At work a few weeks ago a friend of mine asked what the "shocker" meant. He looked it up on his blackberry :D

GordieHoweHatTrick

@Cruithne:

Don't forget:

2 in the pank, one in the stank

dead_red_eyes

I want a Tw@ t-shirt.

14 days?

14 days ... 14 days.

That's two weeks, Sienfeld, two weeks!

octoSink

@Kandoh:

Argh, you beat me to it! I for one would LOVE a foam shocker hand.

dead_red_eyes

Cronofan

Go with Child's play!

Kamizzle

Examples of the shocker are:

Two in the easy, one in the sleazy
Two in the rung, one in the dung
Two in the pounder, one in the rounder
Two in the cooter, one in the pooter
Two in the pump, one in the rump
Two in the grasshole, one in the asshole
Two in the rug, one in the plug
Two in the frollicks, one in the bollocks
Two in the punk, one in the bunk
Two in the pump, one in the rump
Two in the shooter, one in the tooter
Two in the fucker, one in the pucker
Two in the cha-cha, one in the ka-ka
Two in the choo-choo, one in the poo-poo
Two in the spunk, one in the bunk
Two in the funk, one in the stunk
Two in the ponanny, one in the shit cranny

This has been a sex education class, brought to you by Kotaku Condoms

Cruithne

@Cruithne:

Haha, lol.

And add me to the charity crowd. I'm all for giveaways, but I'd rather do something to help kids then count pointed hats.

Yeah, I'm still bitter about that. So what? You wanna fight?

doubtful

@mgy: Glad someone noticed it.

mmr

Definitely charity.

@jayntampa: They should do as you suggested.

RPGr

This is all too good to be true. I am in want, no in need of GTA:IV swag and am willing to jump through hoops to get anything...

Go Team Venture

Raffle it off for charity and send JT the news that GTA helps kids.

VixDiesel

I'd give my left nut for all that swag

FatalChaos

I would've written up a slick song making fun of the political maelstrom over the GTA series...but I remembered that I was deaf and my sense of rhythm is fucked.

Good God, Rockstar.

NKato

Damn I especially want that LC Swingers merch.

idkmybffgreg

now THIS is the fucking shit that should come in the goddamn special edition duffel bag.

fuck.

joelface

As bad as i want all that stuff, there are surly ppl out there who would pay alot cuz its GTAIV-Branded. So like jayntampa said, its a win win situation.

Maybe a sort of "silent auction"-type on this page, where every one donates for charity and at the end the the x.Person in the donation-list gets a prize.

Short => Charity ^^

SuWide

I already have my Liberty Swingers tee!

marcus_ivo

If this stuff is for GTA4, then why is the foam hand only holding up 3 fingers? That kind of mistake by their marketing department is just plain shocking!

Mr.SithNinja

You lucky bastard.

u4ia

I have the license plate on my car. It's interesting to see who recognizes where it came from and who just thinks my name is Niko. I'm sure it will get stolen once the game is out =(

ReidP

I got this exact same box of shwag a week or so ago, minus the lapel pin. Which makes me think I accidentally threw the lapel pin out with the box :( Dammit!

Z-Word

@Kandoh: Its the first thing I saw as well....
