Addled, slightly sick, and three hours in the past. So begins my first GDC. We've received our badges, and with them came a black canvas bag filled with advergoodness.

Gaze upon the future contents of trash cans all over San Francisco.

Out of this huge pile of flyers and pamphlets, only a few items really stood out. Gamedev.net at least gave us some chewing gum. Old, bitter,chewing gum, but stuff you can put in your mouth is always appreciated.

The highlight of the bag was definitely the 1UP brand jelly bean bag, which contained all of 8 random jelly bellies. If you want more you have to go out and buy them yourself, which captures the spirit of 1UP's user-created content quite nicely. I'm sure that's exactly what they were going for. Michael Fahey
