I've been playing L.A. Noire all week in preparation for tomorrow's review. I can't talk about the game yet (sorry, I can't even blink once for yes and twice for no) but I can talk about some of the absurd swag I got.
Because it's always fun to dress up infantile boasting as editorial transparency.
Seriously, publishers never fail to surprise me with the things they're willing to send out.

Cmon Mr.Jim , you got to use the lighter for something. Like for example.....marshmallows , burning the letters of your ex-gf (wait , who send cards these days). Well you can burn the taxes , right?
Your're a cruel man Jim, i have to wait untill Thursday! and you're just sitting there braggin' like a nine year old school kid, you should be ashamed of yourself.
Do they send you both the PS3 and 360 versions? Presumably so you can review both hoping that you will find something different between each, pick up on it and fuel this silly console war that we all loathe.
I wonder how it will stand up next to "Firmware" on PS3... that sounded like it had everything ;)
Got to see the game at PAX East. Needless to say, it's already pre-ordered on Amazon. Wore my L.A. Noire swag t-shirt yesterday, in fact. Come on, Tuesday!
I hear the games supposed to be a little like Heavy Rain? I kinda always wanted to play that game but I dont have a PS3, so if this games enough like it Ill put it on my radar.
I LOVE THIS VIDEO! Man, Jim, you should go into acting, that was highly entertaining! Between this and the Dubai videos, this has without question become my favorite game news site.
Why don't they allow us (360 gamers) to install all the discs and just play with the first one on the DVD drive? It seems like a fucking obvious thing to do, now that we have large HDDs...
Is it a limitation on the 360's side or is it up to the developer to decide? If it's a dev choice, it would be great if they started doing it more often.
Will be nice to see what the review says :) ...this game is gonna be weird to play, first game to use this tech for faces and what not (Though Forbidden Siren back in 2003 was pretty close).
hey dr. who can i have that shitty "table lighter" psh what a fucking piece of crap
they bought the innards of a zippo and "made" a fucking hollow globe that holds a fucking zippo
wow could they have been ANY more fucking innovative
so all that shit (yes its useless shit) came in that super secret manilla envelope from that lady? (what you said on podtoid)
or was this cavalcade of junk something separate?

... what? It's got a t-shirt in it... noooooo! Actual soup would have been so cool!
Oh... and very nice lighter! (though I'm trying to give up smoking) :(
DEAL OR NO DEAL?
Man tits ftw.
For shame Jim, for shame!
dang jim.

Gotta love game lighters. I've never smoked at all, but I've got... 8... maybe 9? Resident Evil lighters. Good stuff.
If only the soup were real you'd have a whole 1/2day survival kit.
Lol
Like your new glasses, Jim. Somehow very 'you'!
Im so hyped for this, i hope to hell this game is gonna be good.
My disgusting pirating brother is playing it right now and i hate him for it... At the same time im so fuckin jelous... Fuckin pirates!

OH, HELLO GOOGLE CACHE!
Only you could turn journalistic integrity into not only gloating, but self-depreciating gloating at that.
