Seriously, a box of straw.
I'm not sure if this is the best or worst marketing idea I've seen so far, but considering my carpet now has dirt and grit all over it after opening this package unawares, I'm learning toward the latter opinion. Nevertheless, I have to praise the sheer effort that went into this. Dragon Age: Origins was found buried in the straw, in an envelope that had a wax seal on it. There was a similarly sealed letter as well, telling me I was a Grey Warden. I feel ten times nerdier than usual.
Also included was some sort of energy drink made to look like a vial of so-called Dragon's Blood. Oh, and lots of straw. Lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of straw. This is so ludicrous.

FREE TACOS FROM HELL!
even if its just a load of hay
Or build a thatched roof to set on fire, then you can raze the roof!
Or feed it to a cow, then set it on fire for roast beef!
Now should I get Batman:AA, Borderlands, or inFamous to go along with it?
Don't know much about the game aside from many people being REALLY excited about it. Hope it lives up to people's hype. :D
They can't all be a rubber replicas of a scorched, severed, taxidermy vagina with necrotic little rubber hands reaching out of it.
Anachronism ? Nay fool. This be FANTASY. Who can say that modern-looking manufactured plastic is beyond the reach of vile sorcery?
And your wife is better?
Prolly just full of freshen up mouth wash.
It's tagged with PC since this is coming out for PC, xbox, and ps3.
Pretty cool promo to intrigue reviewers. Hopefully this means we get a review on it soon then.
