GDC 09: Show floor swag round-up  photo

Literally minutes after Ben PerLee and I hit the floor, we were already knee deep in swag heaven, and it was nearly impossible to keep us from collecting it all. From Midway's cowbells to Insomniac's soap-flavored bubbles, we made sure to squeeze every last bit of swag out on video.
 
Fear not, fellow swag whores. Ben and I were not collecting this swag for ourselves -- we were collecting it for you! Although we haven't quite figured out, let alone disclosed, the full details of the contest, we would like you to take a look at the potential prizes! So sit back and take in the glory of two swag-addicted bloggers as they take to the floor of GDC 2009.

He is the "Famous Penny Arcade Quoted, Benjamin PerLee" Thats his full name, if you dont refer to the Famous Penny Arcade Quoted, Benjamin PerLee as such, you will be slapped.

Soap is my least favorite bubble flavor. Also, confirmed! Canadians eat wood like cookies!

Don't believe everything you hear. I'm from Alberta and I have never heard someone call a Fridge Magnet a "Cookie". That's just stupid.

Foam nunchucks?! Awesome. Scented bubbles? Cool, but lost some points for not being roast beef scented. Using a pen as a weapon? I think I saw that in a movie before. Cowbells? Awesome, too bad it doesn't have collar so you can wear it. Utah cookie? Silly Canadians trying to trick people.

Lol, awesome job, Husky. Eventhough I had awkward face and girly voice, it turned out great.

I went to GDC in 2005 and there was so much swag there that I had to pack it in UHaul Box and ship it back home....

@Husky
I just didn't know who he used to be on Dtoid, before he used his real name. He just kind of showed up and no one explained anything to me. :)
