I am pleased to show off the first batch of YOUR swag! I received a great bunch of photos from a lot of different games and gaming events. I was very impressed with our first round of submissions. I got four great gamers who submitted this time, and I’m going to features something from all of them. Let’s get started!

This MatCatz Street Fighter IV Arcade FightStick Tournament Edition: The Femme Fatale Edition was submitted by DarkMethod 10k, who stood in a very long line at PAX 2009 to get this limited edition fighting stick. To be honest, I was hoping someone would submit this because I had heard about it and knew it was a rare piece. Thanks, DarkMethod 10K!

This piece of barbarian goodness from Civilization Revolution was submitted by ATC 1982. This piece get props because ATC 1982 says it’s his favorite piece. Out of the ones he submitted, this is one of mine of his. I love the detail on this figure!

Lizzie Johnson submitted this cool piece of swag from when the Halo ODST firetruck visited her hometown. Very cool, Lizzie!

This piece of gaming bling was submitted by Spookty, who won this award at at a Game Stop competition playing Star Chase. He placed in a few different games, but won the Star Chase event. Grats, Spookty, and thank you!

This is an idea I have been toying with for a while now. I would love to see and show off your gaming swag! It could be store-bought, received free with a game, or picked up at a convention. All you have to do is send me a JPG at jennabee25@yahoo.com and I’ll post the the three that I like best from all the entries every few weeks. All the entries will be put into the flickr photo set “Show Me Your Swag” on my flickr photostream. You will be fully credited. To enter, include your name, e-mail, and the name you would be like to be posted with the photo. Let me know what it is (if it isn’t obvious), where your got it, and any interesting stories you have about it.

To start off, click through for a few things that Sam and I have around the house that would make great examples of what I’m looking for.

First item up is the Soul Calibur IV key chain I got when I bought the game from a friend. The key chain came with the pre-order.

These fuzzy guys came with my game Rune Factory: A Fantasy Harvest Moon for the series’ 10th anniversary as a pre-order surprise!

This funky Super Mario Bros. mushroom came from Spencer’s gifts and is actually a container for mints. It was a great impulse purchase.

See what I want? Start sending me your swag pics!
