Win My Ultimate Swag Bag
September 4, 2008 408 Comments
Usually when people give away swag they receive at conventions, it’s the shitty stuff that got crushed at the bottom of the bag that nobody wants anyways. Not me though. While attending PAX last weekend, I spent some time gathering the best stuff I could get my hands on, all for one of you. I guess you could say I kinda sorta like you guys and gals. Oh, who am I kidding? I absolutely adore all of you, and this is one way I get to show you that. I focused my Ultimate Swag Bag on the two games I am most passionate about right now, Halo (the constant love of my life) and Dead Space (the mistress I am currently keeping on the side). Want to win my shit? Then leave a comment on this article sometime within the next seven days (had to get a seven reference in there somewhere) telling me your favorite thing in the swag bag. You can leave more than one comment however only the first one will count as your entry. The contest will be open for exactly one week after which time the comments will be closed and a winner (using a random integer program) will be selected. So what exactly will one lucky person be receiving? Hit the jump for the low down on the awesomeness that is my Ultimate Swag Bag.

My jealousy meter is through the roof :P
That’s some sweeeet stuff.
The picture of Cortana and Chief is fantastic. That’s what I would want!
Also, your comment regarding Dead Space as mistress made my laugh. Gordon Freeman is my mistress.
Yes. I said it. Deal with it. There *IS* room for two in that Hazard Suit.
Oh, and my favorite thing would have to be the artwork of Master Chief and Cortana signed by Isaac Hannaford.
I really like the picture of Master Chief sitting in front of his weapons. I can imagine him thinking how he’ll pwn the Covenant on this mission.
I could always use another Halo 3 soundtrack…plus the Dead Space stuff looks pretty cool.
This…
Bungie t-shirt, size XL male (received at an event I can’t talk about but please know it is very special)
…is awesome (and I don’t even know why).
Ooh…I feel a bit light headed….I am gonna sit down and stare at this swag some more
o_O
my Favourite thing in this swag bag is the master chief picture , with all of the weapon infront of him as it represents my love for forge and campaign combined
With so many options, you do not make picking a favorite easy, but I have to choose the artwork signed by Isaac Hannaford.
does one eprson win all of the stuff , or is it randomly selected through all the people who chose the same item?
I would so totally luv that one of master chief and cortana by Hannaford :)
i’m going to have to say my favorite thing in all honesty would be the Halo 3 Soundtrack since i’m such a music nut. But i am curious about the D S comics as well.
My favorite thing is anything signed by Jen Taylor!
One person will be winning the entire swag bag. :)
@ davyboy94
I believe one randomly selected person wins the whole bag of awesome.
You are too good to us angel. :)
If I could win this i would die if I could get the artwork of Master Chief standing behind Cortana. I <3 it.
That is all i would want though…. I would totally give away the rest :D
Please if I do win dont give me the whole swag bag just the art. :D
Holy crapper! Those are nice goodies you give away ^_^
I absolutely love the halo 3 scene poster! I mean all those sigs in one place? How is it even possible?
Although I do love everything in the Bag!
want shiny stuff!
Good luck to everyone, and thanks BS Angle for sharing!
I can has swagg?
Wowzers MUST HAVE. Usually i’m not a big fan of this kind of stuff but when it involves halo i’m all up on it. THANK YOU BS ANGEL !!!!!!
Amazing stuff, some artworks are really stranges and really beautifull!^^
Awesome, all of it.
this is so awesome :D theres a low chance of us winning through i remember on the friday captions there were like 90 odd comments whoever wins this is the luckiest person on earth , those comics look awesome too
I love the Halo soundtracks so the signed soundtrack would be my top bit of swag on this list.
its all so…pretty.
I’ll have you know that none of my swag was crushed because I spent the $25 for my second checked bag consisting nothing but several posters inside the resistance 2 bag. I’ll just have to win yours so I have something better to give away on my site. BTW that Halo 3 montage is the best!
As a musician and a soundtrack nut, I have to say that the signed copy of the soundtrack is pretty awesome. However, as a collector of all things Halo, it all looks pretty sweet.
I’m loving the individual artwork from the artists, but I just want the soundtrack signed by marty, he is god. Well if god were a dude who composed music for bungie and then had a sweet mullet.
I love the picture of Chief in front of all those weapons! Totally bad ass! :D
What I would like is that PAX Lanyard.
For some reason I have a collection of them.
The other item calling out to me is that “FRONKS” painting.
Oooh! I’m in! Thanks for this awesome chance! Good luck all!
I think that I am in love with all of it, but if I have to pick something it would be the montage picture of the logo, it is really awesome!!
My favorite thing is that badass collage with all the signatures on it.
I just love the Ark-scape signed artwork. Who was that one by? the name wasn’t included in the list at the top…
The soundtrack would certainly be sweet to have, and I’d find places for all the art. Great giveaway.
Either the Chief/Cortana artwork or the one with the Warthogs racing towards the Forerunner structure would be my favorite.
D’oh! Just remembered something.
So, if Bob posts here 20 times in the next week, while Mike does so 50 times, does Mike have a better chance of winning than Bob?
~I~
I thought I would be so clever making a comment about your mistress, but I am too late to the party. I think that the H3 montage is super sweet.
Ive always needed a halo soundtrack, Marty kicks everyones ass, but theres just so much in this pile of random swag…
I hope I win
The best, by far, has to be the signed signed scene montage, look at all those awesome signatures!
My favorite would have to be that collage with all those signatures on it.
Signed Halo soundtrack would be sick to have. Marty O’Donnell should definitely get saint status for the work he has done.
The artwork signed by Lorraine McLees is my favorite.
I like the original soundtrack.
My favorite is definitely Lorraine McLees’ artwork with all the weapons, vehicles, ODSTs, and the Chief. I’ve loved that pic ever since I saw it in the Halo: Graphic Novel.
The coolest thing is definately the picture of MC with all the weapons and a Pelican in the background, I mean who wouldn’t want to have that in game, honestly. lol
People may see this as a little lame but I would like the lanyard personally. I have hundreds of lanyards from all around the world and everyone has a story behind it some I have purchased myself but most I trade for (or get in super cool bs angel swag bags) I would love to have one with this great story to back it up!
Thanks!
Hawt Dog!
Holy crap, you have Jerome’s autograph? WIN.
The soundtrack looks awsum. Anything the amazing music rock star Marty O’Donnell has touched should be treated as a relic.
I like the XL Male T-Shirt. For I where that size. The rest is just bonus! I am so in and want to win. Love the Blog… keep up the good work.
cmon me!
Stands in line with hand raised, hopeing to be picked.
Dren
for all the marbles
That is a pretty awesome load of swag. It’s very generous of you, Hawty.
Wow, the art and posters would be awesome in someone’s game room. Hope it’s me!
definatly either the loraine mclees artwork or the signed poster
I think its hands down the limited edition montage. That thing is awesome.
That’s an awesome load of swag and very generous of you, Hawty.
That looks kinda super cool. Especially the forunner one, that looks amazing. Wish I could have it. Im not a very lucky person, still hoping though.
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y128/Halcylon/Halo%203/Created/Mosaic-1.jpg
Mosaics FTW!
Love that one you got there BS.
I can’t believe you’re giving out this stuff.
You must be really insane or really generous, or insanely generous.
Oh man. I’d love to have a Halo poster in my room :/
Wow, that’s a pretty nice collection, and VERY nice of you to give all of it away like this.
I probably won’t be picked, but if I am, I’m going to sell all of it on ebay and donate the money to a local charity.
Anyway, good luck to everyone else.

John.
Only the first comment made by someone will count as their entry so any other comments made by the same person are irrelevant.
:)
Wow, nice stuff.
I think I like the poster montage the best, always in awe as to how people manage to create a picture with pictures.
oh wow
Well my fav piece of the swag bag is the sound track.
I hope i win, i never win stuff :P :(
Man, that’s one kick-ass swag bag!
*crosses fingers*
The original Halo soundtrack signed by Marty O’Donnell looks pretty tasty :)
p.s. this giveaway is win
The Halo3 montage poster is really nice, though I’ve always like those types of posters.
FInally a Halo swag contest that requires no creativity on my part to enter!
The signed poster is absolutely my favorite.
Yay Halo schwag!
Oh lawdie, that dead space t-shirt is gaw-juss.
This is a very good idea, by the way.
My favorite thing is the Original Halo 3 Soundtrack signed my Marty O’Donnell.
Second one would be the artwork of Master Chief sitting beside his weapons.
Hope that, for the very first time in my life, I get some luck XD
Soundtrack signed by Marty!?! Wowee. That gets my vote.
*crosses fingers*
wow i did not get nearly as much stuff at PAX as you did.
see what women get with thar woman things!!!
:D
Sweetness. I hope I win. Love the Master Chief with all the equipment print.
That pic of the chief with all the weapons is frickin fantastic. And its even signed no less.
Holy Moly…my favorite is every piece since I do not possess any of them :)
I am a huge Halo fan and collector and I would eat green bugs daily for that stuff.
http://forums.bungie.org/halo/archive27.pl?read=799304
See ya !
My favorite is the halo 3 poster which has the chief with all his weapons.
Limited Edition (#11 of only 25 made, certificate included) Halo 3 Poster Scene Montage from my personal collection with 15 signatures*
As most of you, I hold the bungie crafters high on my list of talented artists, so autographed items are coveted.
definately the poster. that sounds epic! your so good to us angel =)
I am always game for free stuff.
What ever you do please do not enter me. I just wanted to leave a comment. I have enough memories and stuff signed from PAX.
All l wanted to say is that you are definitely awesome for doing this. I had no idea what all this was for when I saw you with it. Guys. This girl stood in line just like everybody else to get the sigs. She is pure awesome for giving it all away.
the ‘Official PAX lanyard’ would be my choice because it has your neck sweat on it
that was way off the creep-o-meter scale, wasn’t it?
just kidding, anything with the words “Limited Edition” and “Bungie” on it would be wonderful to own
Man, looks awesome!
I hope I win, but if not… wow!
Very cool stuff! looks like you had a really fun time!
very cool stuff! looks like you had a lot of fun!
awesome sauce!
Oooh! Ooooh! Schwag!
This is an awesome thing to do! My head may asplode in a cloud of kittens and sparkles if I win :)
omg, i love Cortana and Master Chief and that Deadspace guy and and and and… all of it! but cortana the most!
Well, I’ve been looking around for a Halo 3 OST cd… not easy to find in stores… And signed would be vera, vera nice. :-D
I didn’t actually use it, LOL … Those things always irritate my neck so I clipped my pass on my jeans. So the lanyard is in pristine condition! I can rub it in my armpit if you want though so it has that sweaty smell. ;)
FRONKS!
Love that whale!!
I feel saying “you’ve really gone the extra mile” doesn’t give justice enough…but you really have outdone yourself this time, and for that I thank you.
If I had to decide on something, it would be the signed scene montage poster. No! The Halo 3 Soundtrack signed by Marty O’Donnell. Wait, the siged artwork. But those shirts do look pretty nifty…
I really cannot decide…
Math.randomInt() = elessar787;
Awesome swag and I’m quite looking forward to Dead Space as well.
Definitely the halo 3 scene montage poster that’s signed
XD If only fate wasn’t completely against me… Seriously, you should have seen my summer…
Cool contest lol
The Dead Space comics fo sho.
Amazing! I’d sure love to win some of that signed artwork and the poster montage, those look awesome! And the Bungie shirt would be cool too. :D
Here’s to random luck.
Nice swag Hawty :)
Ive been reading this blog for a while now but have never commented.
And what better time than now to start :P
Email: Joem93@Hotmail.co.uk
The fact that you are able to part with all that kick ass swag amazes me. That is true devotion to your blog readers right there :p
I read this blog often and I always enjoy it. I wouldn’t mind winning that swag ^^. Good luck to everyone!
That halo montage poster looks amazing. Id rather have that then Recon.
Halo Space
dj090884@yahoo.com
I’d kill for Jerome’s autograph, but since you only have Jermone’s… I guess I won’t participate. ; )
That is a bag of Epic Win! Of course Jerome’s sig makes it even more awesome!
I like the dead space comics. It’s all awesome though.
Sweet! Looks to be some good items in there. :D
I think the photo mosaic would have to be my favorite. I love those things.
Bungie t-shirt, size XL male….. Even though it would be like a tent on me I would wear it with pride :D Ditto with the dead space t-shirt… hell even the lanyard!
I wish I could have gone. Sweet swag. I hope I’m the lucky winner.
This comment do not eat!
I love that montage picture.
I could totally wear that XL shirt too though…
Wow, all of that stuff looks awesome. I’m glad I have a chance at winning!
Limited Edition (#11 of only 25 made, certificate included) Halo 3 Poster Scene Montage from my personal collection with 15 signatures*
Definitely the mosaic.
Nice collection of swag! I’d love to get my hands on all that loot! *crosses fingers* =)
I can haz? :D
Limited Edition (#11 of only 25 made, certificate included) Halo 3 Poster Scene Montage from my personal collection with 15 signatures*
That would definitely be my favorite of the bunch. You have some amazing signatures on that one. The Jerome signature definitely stands out as something no one else probably managed to get.
yay free stuff!
I like the halo arsenal picture the best :)
GL Everyone (including, most importantly, myself)
swag ftw
Oh wow – that’s a huge load of stuff. Good luck to everyone (especially me). :D
I can has swag? :D
You’re a nice lady.
I would love the Limited Edition Halo 3 Poster Scene Montage
although i’d love to win this awesome collection, i really just wanted to say wow. bs angel, what do you love more? the games or the fans? thanks for showing your love, either way ^_^
Favorite thing: “secret” Bungie T-Shirt, of course!
Sounds interesting. I’m in.
Well that’s an interesting bag of swag you got there !
I’m really interested by that rare poster signed by 15 people (Limited Edition (#11 of only 25 made, certificate included) Halo 3 Poster Scene Montage from my personal collection with 15 signatures*)
Well, good luck everyone!
Honestly, I treasure experiences the most. I loved standing in the lines, interacting with various members of the communities, and just soaking in the entire PAX experience. I will still have all of that even if I don’t have the tangible items to go with it so it is all good in my book. :)
The thing I would want to win the most? The Bungie T-Shirt, easy. It’s from such an awsome event you couldn’t even tell us!
My email (in case you cant see it) is Halo0001_X@hotmail.com
Awesome blossom! I am in love with the Halo 3 Poster Scene Montage, and envy you for having a signed soundtrack.
Here’s to you Hawty for giving us folks without the chance to make it, have some memories of the even!~
Better odds then the lottery.
Hoo boy, that’s an impressive collection of swag. Quite a charitable act, giving it all away. Here’s hoping!
That is some awesome swag, I wish I could have gone to PAX.
The coolest piece here in my opinion is the Artwork signed by Isaac Hannaford. Hand drawn artwork like this always seems to get my soft spot.
Deffientally love the Halo 3 Poster. Some nice swag you got there Angel, very nice of you to be doing something like this.
I’m a fan of the Artwork signed by Lorraine McLees. There is something about the way this was created that it quite cool looking.
HALO!!!!
Okay seriously, some awesome stuff there. I didn’t get to go to the bungie booth much, but I did make it to the artist alley that one day. I went and bought frames for them cause they are so awesome.
slothman773@yahoo.com
You can use this email
Hawty McB…love your bag of Swag!
All the artwork catches my eye, but if I had to choose, I would say the Lorraine McLees artwork tops my list. Ever since I saw it in the HGN, its been something that I’ve wanted. Thanks for your hard work at PAX and sharing your swag!
-Vapor
My favorite thing in the swag bag has got to be the Halo 3 soundtrack. I’ve been in love with the music from halo since first playing Under Cover of Night in Halo 1, and a signature from Marty O’Donnell on the soundtrack for Halo 3 is just amazing to me.
my t-shirt collection has room for one more bungie addition. however, those pieces of artwork are gorgeous! do i really have to pick one favorite or is this good enough? :)
i hope you kept at least a couple of personal favorite items from your PAX experience angel. you’re incredibly generous to give all this killer stuff away!
I <3 all the Halo artwork, but I do know some people who would have jealous fangasms with some of that Dead Space stuff
Wow that would be awesome to win
Omega1136@yahoo.com
The artwork is really awesome, but my favorite thing has to be that picture with all the signatures.
wow, you’d need an entire House to use all that stuff!
Being a huge Marty fan, I would Really love, I mean REALLY love that CD signed by Marty himself.
Hawty McBloggy, You make me soggy.
Thanks for all your work within in the halo community, hawty!
That forerunner picrure with the hog in the foreground is by far the best.
I’ve never had a chance to go to any of these conventions (because I live in the backwoods of isolated southernsville) so I’d love to win, but hey, we all would.
:)
-_- I forgot to say what I wanted, so I’ll do it now.
My favorite thing would DEFINITELY be the H3 poster signed by the team.
I’m loving the OST
Want.Really.Have.Must. (words not necessarily in order of coherence)
omg that is insane! wish i coulda went!
aah, it was supposed to say <insert hope>
i doubt i’ll win xP
BUT, my favorite thing in that schwag bag would be the artwork signed by Lorraine McLees. EPIC number of weapons there.
Angel, it looks like you’re going to have a tall order setting up the drawing contest. 155 comments in mere hours. Imagine how many there’ll be 7 days from now…
This is pretty cool of you giving away stuff, we much appreciate it.
I’m really liking the artwork signed by the various artists :) Other than that, the signed soundtrack is sweet, i listen to the Halo 3 soundtrack almost every day (being the sad person that i am)
I wish they had more of these conventions in the UK, then maybe i’d have a chance of going to one and bagging some swag.
That picture with Master Chief hording all the weapons is bad ass. It reminds me of playing campaign and making some poor shlub take my plasma pistol for his shotgun lol.
A bungie event you can’t comment on? Speculations away!
Wow! That is some awesome swag! Thanks for being so generous and giving it away! Here’s hoping I win!
The special Bungie shirt is definitely my favorite, I’m actually wearing another normal Bungie shirt I got at the launch right now! XD
Holy crap. Do want so badly.
Damm living at the ass end of the world and not being able to attend such awesome events! I shall shake my fist in anger!!
Oh my god! Marty signatured soundtrack. When I have thought about he is that person I would like to meet! His music is just so beautyful.
Unforgotten and unyielding <3
That piece of art from Frank Capezzuto is amazing!
So much that looks good, it’s hard to pick! I love the artwork of The Ark, the Poster Scene Montage was well done, and a new Bungie shirt is great too, considering the store is down right now. It has that simple, straightforward look to it.
Hmm, anything would be nice. It’s all from Bungie, of course its all nice!
My favourite thing isn’t in the swag collection you have… but then, i guess you would have a hard time mailing yourself ;)
w00t
Must……avert……eyes……..
I love the posters, as that’s how I wallpaper my room.
Dead Space looks interesting and I liked the trailer for it. Probably get it. And as for the Halo goodies …. oh how I want them ….. especially the signed poster using Halo 3 images making the logo, that would be insane to have.
This would be amazing. I thank you in advance, just in case i win. :)
definitely the Fronk’s artwork… it makes me curious….
heh, I bet this article will become one of the most popular, especially from people (such as me…) who don’t normally post here. lol
Wwwwwooooooooooooaaaah! Awesome stuff dude!
Why wasn’t I aware of this event? WAAAAHH :(
I really like the artwork of the warthogs jumping towards the Forerunner structure.
That Dead Space shirt looks awesome, that game looks real promising and I like the “strategic dismemberment” they implemented into the game and those dark surroundings…reminds me of Bioshock…
Limited Edition Halo 3 Poster Scene
This is the ultimate swag bag, of ultimate destiny,
Good guys, bad guys and explosions,
as far as the eye can see
and only one will survive, I wonder who it will be?
This is the ultimate swag bag, of ultimate destiny
P.S Who’s Bob? Who’s Mike!?!?!?!
Oh my, only one? The artwork signed by Lorraine McLees made my bum tingle.
I’ve been wanting that Halo 3 soundtrack, but that Bungie T-shirt is quite enticing. I would want teh T-shirt.
My favorite is the Halo 3 Soundtrack.
I like the picture of Master Chief and Cortana the most to be honest, but the Dead Space shirt does look nice.
Shweet Shwag BS Angel. Wish I could’ve went to PAX this year, but maybe winning this stuff will make up for it!
My favorite is the H3 soundtrack.
Wow. . .
That’s all I can say. Bungie gave out some sweet swag. And we know you love us, almost as much as we all love Halo.
I wish I hadn’t missed this. . . but I got to go through Reorgy Week instead. . .
Getting the seven references are great, aren’t they. . . (Four ellipses, made of three periods each, hmm?)
Respectfully,
Cadet Jonathan Curran, USMA
Very nice collection. The poster and artwork would have to be my favorite. Bungie event that cannot be commented on is interesting.
So it’s random?
So I can type anything and I could win it?
OK, potato, tomato, potato, tomato, potato, oranges, apples, banana, raccoon, sunny D, batteries, yay, I can’t think of much else, disk, Halo, awesome, Spartan, computer, swag….K done.
Guess my fav would have to be the Halo 3 Original Soundtrack signed by Marty O’Donnell.
Thanks for doing this. Really kind of you, Miss McBloggy.
I wish I win. That poster looks bad ass
that whale, it speaks to me
i hope its a whale at least lol
and all that stuff is so cool
The signed art work is my favorite shwag. That and the unmentionable t-shirt. Hope I win!
My favorite thing would be that marty signed soundtrack. Now, if only you gave me that random integer program thing so i can edit so that only I would be chosen BS Angel *hint hint*
Man I need to go to PAX!
I’m so jealous of all that stuff you collected. It sure is awesome how much Bungie gives to the fans throughout the years.
I’d have to say the artwork signed by Lorraine is my favorite. Always been a fan.
I’d have to say that poster is my favorite, but I’m not picky. Any of that stuff would be awesome. Thanks for doing this!
sweet
The art piece with the MC and Cortana by Isaac Hannaford is the best part of the bag! I love that piece so much!!!
I love the masterchief/cortana picture but I think I’m even more in love with the Halo3 signed poster. Sounds like you had a lot of fun. However I think you would have had even more fun in Chicago at another certain event. *winky*
Crazy excited about Dead Space.
Although i barely EVER post, i read your blog every time there’s a new article. You give female Halo 3 players a good name, lol!
Just posting to test my luck.
I love that Chief + Cortana poster.
And myself being an artist, i’d DIE for something signed by Lorraine McLees. I love her work.
Anyways, good luck to everyone else~!
Trin
Man, that is sweet. Damn, wish I could have made it to PAX, but I’m too busy to do anything videogame related these days.
Marty rocks, the signed soundtrack is awesome.
wow, i’m back after a hour and this many people already commented…Why, Louis Wu, WHYY?!?!?!?
My favorite item in the Swag Bag would have to be the Master Chief and Cortana artwork by Isaac Hannaford.
Hope I win!
Will I win: No
Do I like all that that you can acquire through awesomeness: HECK YES!
Are you awesome like that: DOUBLE THE EXP!
I love the halo 3 soundtrack signed by marty. I am a hge fan of the music from halo, and i would die if i had Martin o’ donnels signature!
I have to say that my favorite piece of swag you have is the print of the landscape on a Halo Installation, with the ring rising upwards vertically from the horizon. The landscapes from all three games have been some of my favorite parts of the game, and I’ve been known by people in my party during various “campaigns” is to “stop and smell the roses.”
Secondly, I’d kill for a a soundtrack signed by Mr. O’Donnell, as the music he’s done are just orgasmic to the ears. (Yes, I went there.)
Thank you for offering up this wonderful bounty.
OOOH OOOH OOOH pick me pick me
That picture of the Master Chief holding the BR and Cortana in front of him – that’s definately my favorite. Really nice style, great picture overall.
My favorite thing from the swag bag is the Limited Edition Halo 3 poster!
OOOOOO! Everything is so beautiful! Must have!
I’d have to say that the signed poster is my fav.
Hi! Long time reader, first time poster………. hope I win! lol.
i am very interested in this event that shall not be named.
I love the Halo soundtracks, so the signed copy of the Halo 3 soundtrack would be my favorite out of this group.
Oh my, Do want.
Ah what the hell, let’s give it a shot. Although I don’t know why I’m saying “let’s” because it’s just me… I’m sounding crazy again. D:
Lotsa cool stuff there, i’m liking the signed poster =)
The autographed “3″ with the Bungie staffers sigs. I’d totally frame that and put it on my wall. Uh do we have to give you an email or can you get that from the website…?
Wow! Great stuff.
For some reason, I really like the fish picture. Not sure why. Have we ever een told what it’s from?
i’ve got my eye on that signed soundtrack, but honestly everything looks incredibly rad.
Oh man… That is a sweet collection of swag… *froths at the mouth*
Oh pleeeeeassse let me win absolutely everything. especially that comic book artwork of the chief and all his toys.
Hey, love your blog. Thanks for doing such an awesome contest. Keep being awesome please.
That Halo 3 poster look’s extremely sexy, I must have it!
=]
i’d like to have that signed soundtrack
my dad bought it imported (i’m from mexico)
but someone stole it :(
good luck to everyone anyway XD
My favorite item in the swag bag has got to be the artwork that is signed by Lorraine McLees.
I would LOVE to see a high-budget Halo anime. I’ve only seen a handful of anime, but I really enjoyed the ones I watched. I adore mehve’s artwork (and the lady herself is pretty freaking cool too!) and I hope to meet with her one day and hopefully talk about a bunch of stuff — she seems like she’d be so interesting to converse with in person!
While I am DEEPLY intrigued by whatever event you got that Bungie shirt at, the event and the shirt are unknown to me in their significance, while the significance of the artwork and the person who signed it ARE definitely known to me.
I really wanted to go to PAX this year, and hope to go next year, but I’ve so far been unable to afford to go.
On a random note, I just noticed your smiley face in the bottom left side of the webpage. I’ve seen that thing before, but I can’t remember where. It might have been here, but I don’t think it was…
Oh well! Either way, thank you so much for giving of yourself like this, take care, and God bless!
Oh man that picture of the worthogs driving to that forerunner building would loook sweet framed, and hung on my wall.
That bag is legendary…..the stuff dreams are made of.
In all honesty, if I were to win, I would sell the swag just so I could go next year! I just want that crazy, fan/celebrity filled awesomeness of an experience! =D
-Ray
That montage pic is seriously awesome. Coolest item in the entire group, IMHO.
Thanks for the opportunity to win some truly great prizes! I think the item that has me salivating the most is the limited edition Halo 3 poster, because I’m also a huge fan of RVB… combinging signatures from both the game AND the web series just makes it better.
Thanks again, and I hope I win! :)
OMG I want the Fronk’s artwork
The swag is kewl and all, but what I really want is that random integer program!
The artwork signed by Lorraine McLees. Gotta love those grizzled ancients!!! ;)
-Compton
That picture is just so badass.
Luke + Shishka signing one item…come on that is awesomeness.
Yeah, I wouldn’t mind taking a look at the code either! I really like the Forerunner art the best though.
Schweet schwag bs!
I must say that my favorite piece is the artwork of the chief with all the weapons and grenades. It would look good on the wall behind my H3 360!!!
Oh that’s awesome!
The Halo 3 posters are so awesome! I really like the t-shirts too.
that is awesome stuff.
the soundtrack. Marty O’Donnell. MARTY O’DONNELL.
*starts drooling*
but hell, any one piece of the swag would be more than satisfactory :D
i want anything that says halo 3 on it.i cant get enough of halo 3.
WOW…I LOVE SWAG
Hey, I got schwag last week too!
Oh no, wait. It was school work. From school.
So. many. comments.
I’m a sucker for original art, so I’d have to say the triptych you have going on there. Does it break the rules to choose three things? I used a big word; maybe that makes up for it.
Wow, this stuff would be awesome to add to my…nonexistent Halo collection. I’m such an awful fan =(
Cool beans. I like the pic of MC sitting on the rocket ammo with all the guns around him. =)
Ooooo, could I have the t-shirt or poster? Someone else can have the soundtrack…already got that
I definitely also like the Master Chief with all of his “accessories” around him. The SMG even has a silencer!
Wow the Isaac Hannaford artwork is really nice..i’d like to get my hands on that =)
I like the Halo 3 poster scene montage. Mostly because montages are the best thing ever. I hope I win.
“Dead Space t-shirt, size L female”
I love the design of this shirt. Can’t wear it, but I love it anyway. I’d really love that poster montage though. It’s signed by Jerome…need I say more?
This is so cool. I would love to get my hands on any of that stuff.
I love the picture with the fish/whale thing, its cool, but also the cheif with weapons picture, its one heck of a collection thats for sure!
I like the Halo 3 art signed by all the cast and crew from the game. It looks totally awesome.
That poster of the screenshots making the halo “3″ would look really good on my wall :)
Gotta love that Marty signed H3 soundtrack. And look at all the HBO people posting. :P
Definitely have to go with the shirt. Everything here is awesome but the shirt will be most effective for public displays of Bungie love!
As a music major in college and an avid fan of Marty O’Donnell’s work, I’m going to have to say…the Halo 3 Original Soundtrack. I just love it! =D
I will go with the complimentary approach.
I believe that you serve a very beneficial purpose to the community, by drawing attention to female gamers. I can remember the first time I saw a news post on HBO about something you did, and I went: “Who is this?” Considering how underrepresented females are in the gaming community, I think it’s great that there’s someone like you out there, doing good things. Keep up the good work.
The best thing is the PAX lanyard. It will anounce to everybody that I am interested in gaming, specially Halo.
I love it all!!
But my choice would be the Limited Edition Halo 3 Poster Scene Montage with 15 signatures.
Your the best BS Angel!
Everyone loves free stuff! In any form!
You are awesome for giving this stuff out! I really wish I could have been there myself.
I’d say my favorite thing is the Halo 3 soundtrack signed by the amazing Marty. I also really like the spartan art with all the weapons, very cool looking! By the way, thanks!
I would have to pick the soundtrack because I think more than any other part of a game the soundtrack is what draws me in. A game without music is a game without substance; you need music to create ambiance in a game, and I can’t imagine fighting the flood without the creepy aural backdrop.
The Chief/Cortana poster, just simply gorgeous
Oh my god I wanted to go to PAX so much!! Shame i live in Australia :(
Would of loved to meet Marty and get my soundtracks signed
I really like the Halo art work. Also, the Dead Space shirt looks cool to have.
long time reader first time poster,
it amazes me that bungie is so dedicated to there fanbase, rarely can you find a company that TRULY bases a huge portion of what it does based on its fans and not so heavily weighted towards what will be marketable. Thanks for the chance at being part of the PAX, from those of us who can only wish they could go.
Personally, i think the Hannaford piece is the best of the bunch!
Hm, very tricky, but I would have to go for the Chief and Cortana artwork, closely followed by the other piece of artwork with the chief, then the signed Halo 3 soundtrack.
Ilys
the pic of cortana & the chief – it’s hot!!!
*fingers crossed so damn hard they hurt*
& we love you bs….
Apart from loving all of the Halo stuff (who wouldn’t?), I love the poster of the Art-esque landscape! That thing is so gorgeous I’m actually considering trading my girlfriend in for it.
Cheers for the opportunity, bs angel!
Wow…I think this might be the most comments ever on this site…..
I’ll put my name in the hat as well!
*please please please*
Must have Dead Space shirt…
OMG I
thinkKNOW I love you!!!My ABSOLUTE favourite (Canadian spelling) item is the Halo 3 soundtrack! Everything else is extremely sweet icing on the cake!
Formed fish-nuggets of the sea?! Yes, please!
And that Dead Space shirt? Size L (perfect!) Female (D’OH!) Oh, who am I kidding? I’ll wear that thing anyway. And proudly!
But seriously; there is no word for the sheer grandiawesometude of this schwag-bag. I will now retreat to my gaming shrine and submit burnt offerings for luck from the random integer gods.
Great giv away, i really wont the picture of the cheif sat with all those weapons and the LTD ED Bungie T-Shirt!
My favorite item has to be the “Limited Edition Halo 3 Poster Scene Montage”, those signatures make it a must have for me. I think it will hang on the walls of everywhere I live till the day I die.
Woah that is some serious stuff :)
Admire people who can do so much effort in stuff like this!
I swag, therefore I am =o
Oh my god that is so cool must have it!
I like the Cortana/Cheif picture and the Chief/all human weapons picture, those are sweet.
But the nicest picture, has to be the Halo 3 symbol collage picture, i’ve always loved those kinds of things!
Lucky you got to be there! Me = jealous!
The artworks are so…nice ^^
A kiss from Italy! =P
Soundtrack signed by Marty O’Donnell!!!! *faints*
I would like the picture of cortana and chief quite a bit!
Wowzers! Swagify me baby! :)
Man,that halo 3 soundtrack signed by Marty looks Awesome!Lucky…
It sucks ‘cuz i can’t go to conventions like that,since i live in England…
Wow, I have positively no chance of winning, but whoever DOES win this will be a very lucky person. Thank you Mrs McBloggy for your brillant articles and whatnot. They have kept me entertained in a word seeping with mediocrity.
shadowraven93@hotmail.com
The Dark Space comics look awesome! Also, that print from HGN by Lorraine McLees.. o.o
Loving the signed Artwork
Especially Lorraine McLees’s
Cannot resist…Swag Lure…Must give In…
*bookmarks page*
No region restrictions? Woo hoo!!!
My favorite item would be the Halo 3 soundtrack signed by Marty. That is legendary all by itself!
Nice collection.
Me, me, me!!!
Awesome, I would love to add some of this stuff to my collection!
My favorite thing is the soundtrack.
The pic of Chief sitting there with all those guns is pretty comical.
“Apart from loving all of the Halo stuff (who wouldn’t?), I love the poster of the Art-esque landscape! That thing is so gorgeous I’m actually considering trading my girlfriend in for it.”
That should read Ark-esque, not Art-esque! Bah, sorry!
Favorite thing? Artwork signed by Isaac Hannaford!!! Look at how awesome his detail on Cortana is :) So damn good…I’d frame that sucker up on my wall in my gamin room no questions asked!
I like the artwork signed by Frank Capezzuto the most, although the montage comes in a close second, followed in third by the soundtrack. I love your blog Hawty, I check it pretty much every day =P Keep up the good work!
Awsome stuff you have there.
How do we know it’s our favorite until we win it? Huh??
I pick the third one… whatever that might be!
This is the best thing after Halo 3!
I would take any of ‘em, Halo3 is über =F
My favorite thing has to be the halo 3 poster with all of the signatures. I mean, it was signed by Shishka, Luke, and some of the RvB guys. That is just full of win.
I wish i could of been there to get my hands on some of that stuff!
I hate not living near anything
Wow I want those!
I am fond of the soundtrack but the Dead Space shirt is sweet too.
Oh wow, my favorite item is definitely the autographed soundtrack. I already have a copy (of course), but a Marty-signed version is like an orgasm in a plastic case. Maybe three orgasms. One for the signature, and one for each disc.
nice collection
Definetly the Poster Scene Montage… it’s so beautiful I wanna cry :O
::gulp::
love the b00ty!
The limited edition montage would look great matted and framed above my big screen.
I like the Halo 3 poster mosaic signed by errrone, i’ve identified most of the posters used, but not all of them, i do it while i’m supposed to be working, shhhh…don’t tell ; )
Very nice! That’s really nice of you angel to be giving all these away :) May the lucky person win!
Im absolutely loving the Halo poster signed by Luke and Shishka! I never win anything though! so whoever wins this, you lucky bastard!
Man, it’s so cool of you do do this!!
My fave? The Fronk’s artwork signed by Ken Taya–gotta love those nuggets of the sea!
ZOMG! ZOMG!
A BUNGIE T-shirt from an “Event you can’t name”? I’m listing that one because it would be the item I would be most likely to defend with my life. I can’t beleive you’d sell or give ANY of this away though. Can I call you a psycho and still be considered for the draw?
The artwork offerings in there are incredible too, but I’d hate to have to choose between them.. I’d love to adorn my house with all of that stuff, but the odd one with the shark.. that’s awesome for it’s potential teaser value, plus the style reminds me of the artstlye on “Black Out”.
You just KNOW we’ll all see it somewhere and go “OHHH!! there it is!” How cool would it be to have that on your wall, potentially months ahead of it being discovered, and all your friends are like.. “woah..” (well.. assuming your friends are anything like Keanu Reeves at all).
Please note: We’re big zombie fans over here too. (That’s where my nickname originates).
If someone wins and stipulates that they aren’t interested in the zombie stuff, (especially the Dead State Female T-shirt), could you send that over here to ensure it get’s the proper appreciation and doesn’t end up on Ebay, or the trash or something? I’m sure my girlfriend would love to score that shirt.
Zombies and Halo Hawty.. good to know we aren’t the only ones!
-Mike and Renee
I’m digging the picture with all of the weapons and the Master Chief. I love the shirt, but knowing how companies think they don’t realize that not everyone can fit in a L or an XL lol :p
Two words, I WANT.
Well I’ll try to win this stuff, but i never win anything. : (
Any of the Halo stuff would be cool but the Chief/Cortana picture is awesome.
While the signed Halo montage is seriously cool, I personally like the Chief and Cortana pic from an art point of view.
Good luck all!
My favorite is definitely the limited edition poster. I can’t believe you’re giving that away! :D
I am in love with the score from Halo 3. I think that Marty is one of the best composers of his time. It’s amazing to think that he started out as a jingle writer! (Flintstone’s Kids/Bungie Kids anyone?) LOL
Therefore, my absolute favorite is the SIGNED soundtrack by one of my musical heroes!
-Tufo
My favorite part of the Swag Bag is the Halo 3 soundtrack. If I don’t miraculously manage to win it here, I’ll have to pick up a copy whenever the kids stop sucking every spare cent from my pocket :)
I personally love the Chief & Cortana by Isaac Hannaford the most. All the stuff there looks great, but that artwork really sticks out in my mind.
I’ve also been following Dead Space closely, and am amazed at the souvenirs you got from them as well.
-C
Another long-time reader and first-time poster here.
Chances are low, but my favorite item is probably the montage? It’s such a hard choice though. ): Hard choice between that and the soundtrack. Arrrrgh
I will have to say my favorite goes to the artwork by Lorraine McLees
My favorite one is the art work of Cortana and the Masterchief. Although all the art work here is freakin’ awsome.
I’d have to say the Pax Lanyard is Pretty cool, but my brother Would Go crazy over the DeadSpace Stuff ( One of the Games Him and I are looking forward to).
I gotta say i would like the soundtrack the best. Thanks a lot, even though you hate GOW. I understand.
I hope i win ^^
The whole bag is awsome. Personally I would kill for the Bungie/Halo stuff. The autographed art would be amazing, and the T-shirt. I’ve always wanted one and what better one than a limited edition. And I even like the color (Indiana Jones w00t!) plus it’s my size.
Well thank god for that :)
Wow, that’s a ton of entries there. I’ll cross my fingers and please consider me entered. :)
I would really like Halo Soundtrack. I just love the games, it’s so much more then the visuals, it’s everything the visuals, the sounds, the writing of the campaign. A truly epic games, and truly epic soundtrack
Nice swag bag! Hmm… I think I would want… anything Halo 3! I should’ve gotten in line for the artist’s alley, but here is my chance to get it now :)
The poster scene montage looks AMAZING
do want
Nice swag! The Montage poster is super limited, but I don’t like the artwork. I love Marty’s stuff, but I’d have to go with Isaac Hannaford’s Chief/Cortana print. The Dead Space shirt is also badass.
Amazing amount of goodies!
Halo3 soundtrack is what I would want.
Well miss Hawty. Im gonna have to say the montage poster with all the sigs. Only 25 made? Hells freaking yes.
Oh…and if I win, can I have some original signed Hawty McBloggy stuff too? The mob is never pleased :)
I love you.
Many to choose from. I’d like the sound track. Good times with those songs.
Ooooh, so many shiny goodies….
And like Snatch said, any chance of treat with your signature on it? : D
If for some strange reason the winner would like the value of their things to be depreciated, I will gladly sign anything requested. :)
I love the montage poster the mostest of all
I LOVE that montage poster…. what i would do for some of this AMAZING Swag!!!
wow this is all really great stuff I don’t think I can pick just one favorite,
Oh well I’ll have to say the fronks whale picture is the best, and it signed to that is the best.
Sign a cocktail napkin :D
What a nice thing to do!
Glad you had a good time at PAX08!
What a sweet raffle!
I would have to say my favorite item would be the signed soundtrack CD. Love the music!
Hawty, what awesome schwag! My fave would be the signed Halo 3 soundtrack!
Halo 3 poster scene montage! That’s pretty cool. Quite a swag bag.
That stuff is so awesome! My favorite is probably the poster!
Great swag!
OMG! The Halo3 Mosaic logo with the autographs!! Screw the klondike Bar, I’d do anything for the Limited Edition (#11 of only 25 made, certificate included) Halo 3 Poster Scene Montage from my personal collection with 15 signatures! You must really love us to go down to PAX and collect stuff for the Community rather then yourself. This gives all the people who didnt make it to PAX a chance to still walk away with one of a kind items. I myself will be going to PAX next year. I missed it this year but that wont happen again!
I like the Dead Space comics. Cool stuff bs!
My favorite is the montage poster. If there’s an embodiment of cool^7, that’s it.
What I would love the most?
The H30ST.
Especially the fact it is signed by Marty.
I love the first 2 game soundtracks, but am yet to get the third. Marty is just such an amazing man to, to create the Halo music, music which greatly sums up the games feel and experience.
With the H3 Soundtrack, my Air Guitar playlist would be complete :D
All of it would be great, but other than the Halo 3 Soundtrack signed by Marty, oh what I’d give for the Limited Edition Halo 3 Poster Scene Montage signed by Jen Taylor! Oh, and might I add that my shirt size is XL (hint hint, wink wink).
Oh man, the Halo 3 Soundtrack signed by Marty!!!! Being a musician and one that loves scores, that would be the best!
Yeah my friend went and didnt bring me back anything and she knows how bad I wanted to go to PAX
That halo 3 poster scene is kickassery to the fullest extent, my fave :P
What a nice sack you have acquired.
Fav’s gotta be the Fronks fish artwork. It’s rather unique.
Since I am a very humble halo fan,all I want is the limited edition halo poster with 15 signatures( posters FTW)…to bad they didnt have a softfish poster :(
Your Humble Halo Fan,
FocusedWeevil
P.S. actualy im not very humble,I am very proud of my collection,or “shrine”,as my friends say, of halo shirts,pictures,halo 1,2,and 3 action figures,books,and my sacred halo 3 legendary edition helmet.
I really love the image with the Warthogs and the Forerunner structures. Environment images always look beautiful in my opinion.
I would love the picture with the chief sitting down and lots of items laid out in front of him. My dorm walls are way too empty :-(
There has to be a limit on a healthy level of awesomeness, and this certainly exceeds it.
The signed artwork from Bungie mostly that print from the Halo graphic book, the one that Lorraine McLees did with Cheif and the ODSTs. Her art work effin rocks and I’ve wanted a larger version of the print for a long time, much less signed. I would get it framed and hang it up in the living room, which should be cool with my as she let me put a Halo 2 door poster on our bedroom door!
Wow, I accidentally commented on the wrong entry. I mean to say “Everything. I want everything.” On this entry.
bs angel, you are one of the least selfish people i know, let alone gamers. Gamers that are this interested in games (ie, making a blog almost entirely dedicated to one and continuously making codpiece jokes about anothers main character) would die to get their hands on that swag and then lock it away somewhere never to be seen again. You on the other hand bring it home and freaking give it all away, keeping just the experiences to yourself. words cannot describe how rare this is in todays world. the world really needs a couple more bs angels. (could use less codpiece jokes tho) :P
@echelon3 – agree with you completely. most people would post about how awesome PAX was, even though few got to go. Basically it would be like posting a picture of an Octopus giving you the middle finger 8 times.
My favorite item would be that bungie T-shirt……because there is a secret behind it, and everyone likes secrets.
i’d have to say my fave piece of swag would have to be the signed halo 3 logo of screenshots, because A) that’s a pretty baddass picture to begin with and B) well let me just pose the question can you say “holy crap i got *insert name here*’s autograph” fourteen times? i think that sums it up.
Either the picture of MChief sitting with the piles of weapons or the one with him and Cortana. Those are both awesome drawings. If only I could draw that well. ~goes back to MS Paint stick figure drawing~
OMGZ!!!, I hope that i win, I really want the T-shirt
My favorite thing is the Halo 3 Poster Scene Montage :-p.
..
OH well.
Hi bs, I’m reading your blog quite a time now. Always fresh and you never seem to rest. Got a short question, maybe you can answer it, since you were on PAX: What does the Traxus shirt say: “?? annual interstellar invitational picnic – 2525″ 1st, 7th?
And, yeah, I hope I win.
I like the Halo artwork where the Master Chief is sitting around. :]
Meh. I like them all.
:D
I’m not sure what shirt you are talking about desmotes. Do you have a picture by chance? Where was it?
The Halo 3 Original Soundtrack…
Somthing grate to listin to during lunch brakes at work.
The Poster Scene Montage Is the coolest thing up there, there all badass but, yeah, that would have to be my favorite. “Hi 5″ For getting all this Beastly stuff, and and and… :D! Oh… Yeah, One question, What would you do for a klondike bar? Best of luck to you and your site. KThxBai :]
Definitely digging the ODST/MC autographed photo. Comment on the 7th day. Gotta throw in the ref. right? Cheers from the 405th.

WOW thats a ton of stuff u could have had weeks of give aways. That way i had a real chance of winning something.
man, Got to get me some of that swag… I was a little underwhelmed by the Tech Ed AU 2008 Swag this year. It was a little hit and miss but that stuff is sweeeeeeeeet. C’mon, Time to send some stuff Down Under, it ain’t THAT far anymore…
Marty’s autographed Halo 3 OST! =D
I so need to get myself to PAX next year.
yay, gaming stuff! love that bungie shirt!
My favorite would have to be the H3 poster or the cd. I love the music of Halo!
I would love all of that stuff, my fave has got to be…..the signed poster. If you don’t believe how big a fan i am…checkout my bedroom: http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=24679276&postRepeater1-p=1#24679691
Oh man, the fronky picture is definitely my fave. So jealous…
That is some pretty sweet stuff!
Wow, there are so many excellent things in there it’s hard to pick just one. The scene montage poster is pretty great as a collectible. The print of the chief and Cortana signed by Isaac Hannaford would look great in a nice frame.
But honestly, I think I’m going to have to go with the weapon collection print signed by Lorraine McLees. Aside from being quintessentially Halo, it’s by the awesome mehve! (Yes, I’ve been a fan since the Oni/Myth days.)
401st! LOL
man ive been read this for so long but have nvr commented guess theres always time for a first here goes:
my favorite thing is the signed halo 2 soundtrack
Very Nice!!!
This contest is now closed. Only comments left before this one are valid entries. Off to draw a winner!
Can you tell the name, cuz i forgot what name i used and could you post the comment of the winner cuz i think i know what i typed.
umm.. try again, I think there’s something wrong with my email address (be sure it’s in all lowercase, or it won’t work).
It’s the only answer I can think of, considering no matter HOW many times I refresh my mailbox, there’s still nothing in there from you.
I’ll go check again.. ;)
