If you've never been to PAX, you may not be familiar with the Entertainment Consumers Group. This advocacy organization lobbies on our behalf to combat the frequent negative media portrayals and government floggings of gamers. GrrlGotGame and I both support them annually, and as a result we've ended up with some extra T-shirts, which are pretty cool and never fail to start up conversations when we wear them in public (which is often!). The shirt we're giving away today is size XL (never worn), which has the added benefit of making a nice ladies' sleepshirt.
This giveaway is a bonus for those busy gamers who are vigilant and/or lucky. We'll ship it out to the first qualified person who posts a comment. The usual rules apply, except that there is no random drawing. We might do more of these from time to time in addition to the regular weekly drawings - you never know when we might post another. (Follow me on Twitter if you want a head's up before we post Instant Win opportunities.)
To enter:
Simply post a comment on this page - whatever is on your mind as long as it's not an ad or profane. DO NOT POST YOUR MAILING ADDRESS. If you are first, we will contact you via the e-mail address you enter in the form.
Note that unless you're an authenticated poster who has been active on the site and marked as trusted, your comment will NOT appear immediately (and if your comment does get auto-approved, you may not really be first - you won't know for sure until I approve all comments!). Do NOT double-post. If the first person doesn't qualify for some reason, we'll move down the list - so feel free to post until we state there is a verified winner.
Entering here does not block you from entering the regular Free Stuff Friday for ComiCon swag bags with signed Halo art prints (which closes at 5 p.m. Pacific Thursday!). So post here, and then go post there as well!

Nice!
first?! :D
Sweet!
First time poster and twitter follower, did I win the shirt??
Winner is eugaet! You have to be pretty quick to beat this guy, so I'm thinking of adding a rule that you can't win two Instant Wins in a row. That way you'll have to decide if this is something you really want, or if you'd rather play the odds that the next one will be a better match for you. (For the record, eugaet did NOT win the last one.)
Next Instant Win will be for DSi early adopters. I'm thinking I'll post it sometime this week to make up for the past few weeks of Instant Win drought. I'm wondering how many people even have DSis yet.
Thanks for providing a link to the ECA; I hadn't heard of this group, but it's nice to see some advocacy and political activism from gamers. Besides, the shirt is nice enough that I might order one for myself.
