Grand Theft Auto IV schwag giveaway
Trying to do some cleaning up around here and I realized I've got some GTA IV related schwag that came courtesy of Rockstar. Which means... giveaway.
As pictured here, I've got a foam finger, a GTA IV t-shirt, and a LIberty City Police Department sweatshirt. I've also got various GTA IV stickers that i'll toss into the envelope.
So how do you get them? Incredibly simple. Just leave a comment saying what you want. You can only claim one of the three. Whoever's first to claim each item will get it.
Just be sure to leave your email address with the comment so I can contact you. This contest is meant for "regular" readers. So if I know you, you're not eligible.
(Thanks to Paula Taylor for taking the pic)
Update: 7 people have left comments asking for stuff, but nobody has included their email address, as I asked you guys above to do. Sorry, but I can't ship anything to you if I don't know how to contact you. To reiterate: the first person who leaves a comment asking for one of the items WITH AN E-MAIL ADDRESS will win it. And yes, to answer one person's question, I will ship overseas. But it might be slow.
Update 2: The contest is over. The people who specified exactly what they want and provided an e-mail address first won each of the items. I'll be running more of these giveaways as schwag comes my way, so keep reading.

Unlike that other guy, I'd LOVE the foam finger. It would be my first choice, if you'd like to give it to someone who would really enjoy it, choose me!

The LCPD shirt is awesome, I would love it!

I'd love the LCPD shirt if you can't ship internationally to the previous commenter, otherwise the white GTA shirt would be slick. Thanks so much for giving away the cool stuff only industry types get!

I just thought I had to leave a comment and ask for the LCPD T shirt, but I'll understand if you don't ship it since I'm not exactly in the US. That would be nice though, since I haven't been able to buy the game on its release day - I thought I could just walk into any vg store at 6:00 and get a copy and was badly mistaken.
So this is mostly to tell you I've been reading your blog since a few weeks and enjoy it every day or couple of days. Keep up the good work.
