I've got a final in two hours, my gas tank is empty and I have absolutely nothing wear.

Namco Bandai's Tokyo Game Show Schwag

Posted by Brian Crecente at 1:30 PM on October 8, 2008

Namco Bandai's pre Tokyo Game Show press conference may have been a little light on the news, but at least they handed out some classy goodies to departing journalists, if only to wake them back up before their trip back to assorted hotels.

The Schwag of PAX08

Posted by Brian Crecente at 7:00 AM on August 29, 2008

The schwag of Penny Arcade Expo includes an eclectic mix of PAX-themed giveaways and buyables. My favourite among the offerings though are these three PAX-wrapped consoles.

A blue, black and grey PS3, Wii and Xbox 360 will go to the winner and runner-up of this year's Omegathon, with the winner also landing themselves a trip to the Tokyo Game Show.

If you're hitting the show and not one of the lucky few selected to compete in the Omegathon you can still get your hands on some PAX-themed goodies.

Raving Prince, Assassin and Fischer Rabbids

Posted by Brian Crecente at 1:00 AM on May 31, 2008

Ubisoft handed out packs of these four Raving Rabbids at this year's Ubidays. I'm not a huge schwag fan myself, but these managed to melt even my cold heart. And yes, we're sorry Ubisoft, turns out Sam Fischer did make an appearance at your show.

Statue Of Happiness Sits On My Desk (Not To Scale)

Posted by Brian Crecente at 8:00 AM on April 30, 2008

I received my copy of Grand Theft Auto IV today from Rockstar and tucked inside the box along with the game was this pretty damn cool replica of Liberty City's Statue of Happiness. Note how well it blends in with my other bobbles?

Liberty City Is The Worst Place In America

Posted by Luke Plunkett at 1:20 AM on February 29, 2008

It is! Even says so, right there. Reader Ricardo just got hold of these classy GTA IV license plates from Rockstar, which are real plates, to scale, so he can mount them on the automobile/trailer/scooter of his choice. They're even customised...so long as your name's Niko, that is. Not much good if your name's Ricardo. Or anything but Niko.

GDC's Own Most Wanted Playing Cards

Posted by Brian Crecente at 7:00 AM on February 19, 2008

Handed out to speakers at this year's Game Developers Conference was a cool little pack of playing cards featuring the face, name and title of some of the industries top players.

While the deck's box says that placement of photos was random (except conference higher-ups Jamil Moledina and Meggan Scavio who are the deck's Jokers), IGDA executive director Jason Della Rocca did manage to land on the Ace of Clubs card. I actually wish they had made the face cards be all "GDC All Stars." Hit the jump for shots of all of the playing cards.

Pursuit Force's Pimp Schwag

Posted by Brian Crecente at 10:14 AM on January 29, 2008

Pursuit Force Extreme Justice hits tomorrow. What I played of the demo I quite liked, which is surprising because I hated the original game. My early copy, which arrived at my door today, came with this Pimp Glass, sunglasses and fingerless gloves. Hold on there guys, you're mixing your seventies references and it's about to blow my mind. Either throw in a pimp stick and robe or make with the fake Magnum stache.

We Wipe Our Arse With No More Heroes

Posted by Luke Plunkett at 2:30 PM on November 24, 2007

NMHbogroll.jpgOr we would, had Kotaku Heavy Industries been attending the game's Japanese launch party instead of alternatively stuffing our faces with turkey or rocking out on Rock Band. See, not only did Yasuhiro Wada turn up for some free drinks and a go on the final build of the game, but all attendees were given a parting gift. Toilet schwag.
