Free Stuff for the Week of 5/26/07 photo

Everyone loves free stuff. I collect free stuff like Joystiq collects talented writers. I have an armada of Kids Meal toys (such as a 6 piece nugget box and soda that inexplicably transform into robots) and several sets of Batman Returns plastic cups from Taco Bell. What do I do with them? Nothing. They just make my girlfriend start yelling and then in my defense I point to the giant Adriana Lima collage I glued over our bed and exclaim "If you loved me, you would look like that!"

Anyway, beyond the jump lie all the snazzy pre-order bonuses from Gamestop you can horde in a corner somewhere with your Garbage Pail Kids cards and Battle Beast. I'm partial to the 100-page artbooks and in-game content like that netherwhelp I paid $120 for. Some level 12 nub ran past me the other day in Ironforge and was like "hay wurd you get that dragon? is cool!" Tooooootally worth it.

Fixed. That's as unsquished as she gets, sorry.

I also tried to amplify the next-gen sweat graphics on her chest, but my version of Photoshop might as well come with a Wiimote.

So... how bout all that free schwag?

I fucking hate star wars drones. I mean, how can you still respect any of Lucas' derivitave space-samurai movies after the last three piles of excrement he sprayed all over you? The first three movies where awesome in term of the technology of time time. When Mr. Merchandizing decided to throw out all of the beautiful model and blue-screen work for half-assed CG, he absolutely ruined all of the charm and wonder of the original series. And don't believe for a minute he did it for any other reason than the almighty dollar. Fucking sell out nerd-poseur.

And Olivia isn't as hot as Morgan. Personality goes a long way, and I'd rather have a snarky gaming bitch instead of a sheltered nerd in denial. Olivia said one day on In Your Pants that she'd never masturbated. How exactly does that happen, unless you're sexually repressed?
Burkhart's Avatar - Comment posted on 05/26/2007 09:28

Maybe she's never felt the need for masturbation. I find her innocence cute and the fact that she isn't ALWAYS right like Morgan thinks she is. Besides, who are you to criticize someone elses habits?

To each his own, but in my opinion it doesn't get any better than Olivia in the slave outfit. I'll take Olivia's soft womanly figure over Morgan's rigid man-shoulders any day.

I'm not saying I'd kick Olivia out of bed, I'd just rather have morgan. I feel like she'd be down with a little bondage, and Olivia would just pretend to be down with a little bondage.

"Besides, who are you to criticize someone elses habits? "

Wait, isn't this the D-toid comments? Isn't there ALWAYS someone criticizing someone elses habits? And why exactly am I the only D-toid reader that cares that Olivia has never masturbated? I figured with all the Fapping you readers do, that would be an important characteristic in a mate. Oh wait, what would gamers know about mates? ;)

@TheStripe "Olivia said one day on In Your Pants that she'd never masturbated. How exactly does that happen, unless you're sexually repressed?"

Shes a hot female, they can just go grab men whenever the hell they want, they don't need to masturbate.

And btw, if we are gonna talk about hot women on G4, we need to talk about Diane Mzota(from the good version of Filter), Tina Wood(from G4TV.com...the show), or, if your a "BOOBS OMFGZ!!!111" guy, (which we all are to some extent), there is Layla Kayleigh.

I feel a poll of some sort coming on. MAKE IT HAPPEN DESTRUCTOID WRITERS.

I don't really "need" to masturbate either, but knowing how your own junk works exactly is central in getting everything you want from sex. Plus, promiscuity isn't nearly as attractive as self-awareness.

@jim - "entertaining herself with the bedazzler"

Is that a euphamism, or is attaching rhinestones to jean jackets more fun than sex with you? ;)

You shut up about Star Wars, The Stripe.

Also, I cannot see why you'd prefer ManJaw-Morgan over Olivia Munn..

Thanks for the heads up on free Shwag Haley, I'm going to get The Darkness anyways so an extra character model is badass.

I noticed (after noticing Olivia first) that most everything on that list includes the words "purchase" or "order". That ain't free.

Snaileb, 36 comments in and you are the second person to even mention schwag. Congratulations, that was the test. Check your mailbox in the next couple of days for a life-sized Olivia Munn. When you take off the gag and blindfold it may try to scream or run away, but just choke it out and everything will be fine. It always is...

Jesus, I remember those McDonald's transformers too. I had every one except the ice cream cone and the small fries. Now I wish I knew what happened to them.

As far as the swag goes, I really don't bother much with that stuff. I have no room for more collectible clutter that will just get shoved in a closet, and in-game items are typically completely superficial and pointless. The free headset is probably the most useful one out of the bunch, but I'm assuming it's crap quality. Unless it's for a game I'm REALLY into or the stuff is unusually great, I usually pass on pre-orders.

And Morgan Webb over Olivia Munn? I think Morgan's cute, but Epic fail.

Wow, this post should have been titled: "Nerdy fanboys come swoon over Olivia (there are way hotter chicks out there) Munn!" Some pretty good schwag in there considering that most games give you nothing.

"(such as a 6 piece nugget box and soda that inexplicably transform into robots)"

Do they transform into robots or dinosaurs? 'Cause I use to have the dinosaurs, man. They transformed into the cup, the kids meal box, the nugget box, etc. LMAO.

I believe the dinosaurs were a separate line that came after the robots, IIRC.
