    My favorite two favorite pieces of swag I picked up: Borderlands T-shirt, and the "Art of Guild Wars 2" book signed by three of the artists. I couldn't believe they were handing out the art book for free...I'd love to know how many they ended up handing out, as they disappeared fairly quickly on Friday.

    @djfp: they gave out books two times each day, all three days. Very smart of them to ration them out so they did run out on day 1.

    I went back to the booth after I got my book and got it signed by another group of artists for extra cool.

    The Dante's Inferno comic was easily the worst of the swag I got. It's bad enough that they're totally ripping the story apart for the game. They had to make a prequel comic book to go along with it?

    Kitty is bored by your gaming swag. None of it smells like catnip or gooshyfood. And (aside from the pink ball), anything kitty can carry or whap around is a cat toy.

    I like the inflatable swords and the blue APB shirt.

    I hung around booths I was more interested in. So I didn't play Brink. Nor didn't I wait to play L4D2, Mass Effect 2 or any of Blizzard's products.

    Next year, I plan to open my pallet and enjoy more "uber long" lines to play games; maybe bring a fold-out stool to sit on. Where should I buy one of those "over the shoulder" canisters to keep all the free posters?

    @AntiZERØ: The L4D and Blizzard lines were highly reminiscent of last year. They really need to set up some kind of ticket system so you can go explore other things while waiting your turn.

    Pretty sure that shirt is satirical in nature, since, let's be honest, we've all had experiences with "those people" in line.

    You know the ones I mean, where the odor is an almost perceptible aura of rank disgust.

    It was a joke, one that I guess went waaaaaay over most people's head.

    Correction:

    "If this t-shirt smells, I'm not washing hard enough"

    I think I'm just a cleanliness freak.

    @awesomenessticitation....ism: Why would anyone have a Slim PS2? If you had a PS2, you probably bought it when it was a big deal (pre-slim), and you probably still have it because PS2's did not break like new consoles do.

    I think it's pretty safe that few people probably still own one.

    @MCWHAMMER:

    Ps2s did not break like new consoles?

    Maybe not as much as 360s...but close to the amount of broken ps3s I'd wager.

    I've had several ps2s break, one 360, and one ps3...

    Gotta love Nintendo though...haven't had one console fail.

    @Vecha: Tired of America's Solution to Health Care.: Yeah man. Nintendo products are sturdy as hell. I dropped my gameboy phat off of a third story balcony once and all it had was a dent at the top. The battery casing thing broke, but after I taped that back on, it was as good as new and in fully working condition. I lament the weaksauceness of the new gen consoles. I mean, you can't even enclose them in tight spaces, let alone take a sledge hammer to them for crying outloud.

    @Dipic: I think it was something like 30:70 ratio on Phat:Slim, which is one of the draws for Sony to get a slim out the door.

    @NeVeRMoRe666: I once dropped my Gameboy into Mount Doom, where it was made and the one place it can be unmade, and it still works.

    Although the screen which was once as clear as red flame begins to fade. A secret now only fire can tell....

    @MCWHAMMER: You're joking, right? PS2s broke at an pretty craptastic rate.

    Of course, the 360 has desensitized us to a point where anything under 20% is a blessing from above, but PS2s died like goombas.
