You thought our PAX Prime giveaways were over? We still have a few awesome goodies left to share. Choose from one of three prize packs this week, or play for all three:
Prize #1: Son of Epic PAX 2010 Swag Bag (view gallery with closeups). Contents include full Guitar Hero: Van Halen game for Xbox 360, Guitar Hero keychain, Dragon Quest Slime bag, Dragon Age II inflatable sword, Halo: Reach Noble 6 Avatar Helmet code, Lego Universe beta code, Rift beta code, Brink "Message in a Bottle" t-shirt (XL), Hunted: The Demon's Forge tee (XL), Gig: Rise of the Six String t-shirt (L), Soma Games tee (L), Kung Fu Live headband, Magic: The Gathering cards, Marvel Super Hero Squad Online cards, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood "Rebuilding trust with your friends" brochure and postcards, Bethesda Softworks postcards, "Tycho" poker chip, Okami wristband, Dungeons & Dragons comic, Super Meat Boy comic, PAX Prime 2010 program and MUCH MORE including an array of unique buttons, offers and other cool nicknacks.
Prize #2: Awesome PAX Poster Pack (view gallery). Mailing tube packed with two amazing Brink posters (one of which is pictured above), eyepopping Dungeons & Dragons Red Box poster, signed The Maw poster, signed 'Splosion Man poster, Metroid: Other M poster, double-sided poster with Rift and End of Nations and Age of Empires Online large sticker.
Prize #3: Mogworld by Yahtzee "Zero Punctuation" Croshaw. We snagged two copies of this book. Lucky for you, Dark Horse says we should share the wealth. This is your chance to critique the critic known for ravaging your favorite videogames! Here's the jacket copy in case you need convincing that this should be at least among your prize picks: "In a world full to bursting with would-be heroes, Jim couldn't be less interested in saving the day. His fireballs fizzle. He's awfully grumpy. Plus, he's been dead for about sixty years. On his side, he's got a few shambling corpses, an inept thief, and a powerful death wish. But he's up against tough odds: angry mobs of adventurers, a body falling apart at the seams, and a team of programmers racing a deadline to hammer out the last few bugs in their AI." Yeah, we can't wait to read it either!
As usual, pick your prize or play for both with bonus entries! Here's how to enter and maximize your chances to win:
- Enter a comment here, as usual. That's all you really NEED to do.
- Tweet the following on Twitter: Win Son of Epic #PAX 2010 Swag Bag, Awesome PAX Poster Pack and/or Mogworld by Yahtzee Croshaw RT + enter: http://bit.ly/cXWO3n #bgnfsf
- Review (or re-review) our Busy Gamer Podcast on iTunes
- Review (or re-review) the Best of Busy Gamer Podcast on iTunes. This is a short audio highlights feed with our reviews, audio tours and other timeless bits.
If you do 2, 3 and/or 4 (and why wouldn't you?), you do need to let us know your Twitter/iTunes name(s) in your comment so we can find, verify and include your bonus entries in the drawing and match them up to contact you if one of them wins. If we can't easily tell who you are on Twitter and/or iTunes, the bonus entry is disqualified.
You DO have to enter a comment here and follow the other rules to be eligible. Here's how to enter:
Simply post a comment on this page and SAY WHICH PRIZE(S) YOU'RE PLAYING FOR. (You can do the other things listed above if you want to earn some extra chances to win.) Say whatever is on your mind as long as it's not an ad or profane. Be sure to read the Sweepstakes Rules to ensure you are eligible to win and don't get disqualified by double-posting or forgetting to provide an e-mail address.
NOTE: If you play for extra chances on Twitter or by posting podcast reviews on iTunes, you still have to enter here AND let us know your Twitter and/or iTunes names so we can match you up. iTunes ratings alone do not count since we can't see who posted them, so add or update a comment! (If you already posted an iTunes review, you can still update your review once a week for a bonus entry in each week's giveaway. Just log in to iTunes and click Write a Review; it should load your existing review and let you modify it.)
You may also want to white list this domain; we've had MANY would-be winners lose out because they never responded to their prize notification! If you use TypeKey/TypePad, be sure your e-mail address will be shared. No e-mail address, no prize. (Don't worry, no one else will see it - and we'll only use it to contact you if you win.)
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. It will go into a queue for me to approve, which I'll do several times a day (except the first weekend, where comments may not be approved until sometime late on Sunday). Do NOT double-post. We'll extend the entry period for this until 5:01 p.m. Pacific Time on Wednesday, September 22 to ensure you have plenty of time to enter and verify your entry was posted.
We also sometimes give away unannounced Instant Win prizes and podcast extras. Here are a few tips since this can happen at any time. Check our Busy Gamer Podcast on Sundays for possible hints about what's coming. Follow Gamewatcher on Twitter. Before we post the next Free Stuff Bonus - Instant Win, we'll give you a fair warning tweet. 2) Subscribe to our RSS feed and set it to check for updates frequently.
We continue to stock up on cool goodies for Free Stuff Friday - and we will keep doing so as long as there's enough response, even if we continue to lose money on this site. So tell your friends about this! Hey, if we get bigger, so will the prizes that YOU could win! While you're at it, post comments wherever you see something interesting. Also, if you get a game code you don't need or have some other cool game-related prize you want to donate, we'd be very grateful (we pay for most of this stuff ourselves!).
I am definitely in for Prize Pack 1!

(Not sure how to link to an individual tweet)
Putting all of my entries towards the Pax bag, I really want that Slime Bag!! Twitter and itunes names are both deadbodyman11.
Entering for Prize Pack 1 and retweeted as randomduded12.
Second bonus entry is for Mogworld instead of prize pack 1 because I have a feeling everyone's gonna go for numero uno.
I am evil I wanted everything so I tweeted and my name is ropes.
I want to go all in for Prize Pack 3 since signed game posters are basically worth less than unsigned posters. I watch plenty of Zero Punctuation and played Yahtzee's DeFoe games and finished them. I also played his Trilly notes and thought they were pretty fun.
I re-tweeted, my Twitter ID is fritter7.
I'll put one of my entries towards prize #1, and my other entry towards prize #2
Swag pack preferred but will gladly take any. Thanks.
My Twitter name is @CaptainUrahara
Both my comment and my tweet entries are going towards Prize #3. I really want to read Mogworld! Thanks Gamewatcher! :D
Want the PAX swag bag!

In for prize number 1 because... WOW.
Alright. So... let's see if this time is the charm. I'm going for prize #1. If I win, I'll give the Noble 6 avatar code to someone else. That demon's forge shirt looks really nifty!
