Swag Tester: Win A Dark Void Travel Set

by John Teti | 19. October 2009 12:37 | permalink

Enough of this transpacific travel and caption-contest folderol. We must return now to the serious business of Swag Tester, which in our last episode, granted commenter Confessor the coveted prize of a Modern Warfare 2 pen set and a Crispy cap.

But hey, posting the funny comments on the caption contest was fun, right? So, if you want to be humorous in the Swag Tester comments, let's do that. The winner will still be picked at random, but in the meantime we'll have some laffs.

The prize this time is a "Tesla Air" travel set to promote the game Dark Void. It's coming out in January from Capcom, and I wasn't aware of it until I got this package, so it was pretty effective swag, I guess.

This is also the most useful piece of swag I've ever received. We all were marveling in the Crispy office about the attention to detail on display. It really is quite a good little pack for the plane. Here's a picture:

Dark Void Travel Kit

Clockwise from left: Shoulder bag, blanket, TSA-approved liquid containers, inflatable neck pillow, "hanging toiletry tote bag" (according to the label).

I gave the neck pillow an honest-to-goodness test during my Japan trip, because my old inflatable pillow sprung a leak, and it worked like a champ. But honest-to-goodness tests are not the way we do things here at Swag Tester, so I conducted the REAL test by seeing if my brother's cat Zissou would find the bag an acceptable cat bed.


Yes, I'm becoming a cat person. Blame Jones. Anyway, your Tesla Air pack will be a fresh one, no neck sweat or cat hair on any of the items. And you can acquire it by answering the following question in the comments: "Is there a Dark Void in your gaming life? What is it, and how could it be filled?" Please restrict yourself to responses that do not run astray of any local or federal statutes.

A winner will be chosen at random from commenters who answer the question. (Note: We can only ship prizes within North America, alas.) Will there be a secret bonus surprise gift if I find a response especially clever? I don't know, maybe!

(By the way, if you registered through Facebook, that is super, but it also means we don't have an email address on file for you in case you win. So drop a line to prizes [at] crispygamer.com if there's any doubt that we have your email address. We won't use this address for anything except contacting you if you get a prize.)

    I would buy any of those games.

    I saw some Dark Void yesterday at a Capcom event, and it looked pretty neat. I'm a sucker for jetpacks, and this game looks like it has a good one. I would have tried it myself except the guy was hogging the controller.

    Dark Void sounds like such a generic sci-fi title. Let's spice things up! A quick thesaurus check on "dark" and "void" yields the following:

    Pitchy Bereft
    Shady Drained
    Dusky Short
    Black Scant
    Misty Unfilled

    Phew! Is it getting hot in here?

    Dark Void?

    Time. Time in which to play said games. Time in which I am not doing homework, or my roommate has claimed the tv.

    The latter shall be addressed by moving tomorrow. And the former, perhaps by H1N1! If you read about a swine flu outbreak at Cleveland State University, fear not fellow Crispeteers - Your Pal Killstring is spending some quality time with his 360... and maybe coughing his lungs up, but this is of secondary importance to *finally* playing Fallout 3, am I right?

    (I am right)

    The video game void in my life is a black hole in my soul that used to filled with "super dodge ball" for the nes. Nothing can fill a black hole, nothing.

    Come to think of it, she does the same thing when I try to play video-games; she'll use her head as a battering ram to knock the controller out of the way and get my full attention. I think maybe my cat already filled the void in my gaming life; it was that open space in front of me where the game controller used to fit so conveniently.

    Your cat is clearly more peace-loving than mine. Mine would have clawed you for handling her like that, then would have walked away from the bag once you put her down. Until she decided you didn't REALLY want her to sit on the bag, or you wanted to pick it up for something else, which is when she'd choose to sit on it.

    She has the same knack with me, sitting on my lap just when I'm about to get up and do something. I can sit and watch a film for two hours, no cat in sight, but as soon as it's over, hey-presto, that space in front of me is suddenly extremely Calico.

    I think the Dark Void is my attention span...
    In high school I could play many games for hours on end, now even a good game won't hold my interest for long...
    To fill it I would...

    My "Dark Void" is the loss of literal hours that I have spent installing games on my PS3 before I can play them. I try to support it, but when I can be playing the same game on my 360 in a tenth of the time, I pick the obvious choice.

    Yes, there is a Dark Void in my gaming, and that is a PC capable of pushing some awesome, CRYSIS-Type graphics. Once I get this, my gaming life would be complete.

    I lack the vibrant LAN parties of my youth, where pizza and Dr. Pepper and s$%@talking were rampant, and this hollow may only be filled with a holodeck, complete with a variety of Star Trek bots set to medium difficulty and maximum wittiness.

    The void is time for playing games. It can be filled by not ever doing anything in life but playing games.

    "Is there a Dark Void in your gaming life? What is it, and how could it be filled?"

    Yes. That void most of it is lacking gaming swag. It could be filled with the swag from the game 'dark void'. :D

    The rest of the void is lack of love for Tesla. It can also be filled with 'dark void' swag. :D

    First off, is that a cat or a small goat?

    Second, a void in my gaming life? I wrote off the PC side of gaming last year. The only good to come of it was avoiding the 'my PCnis is bigger' and the 'PC > console' snobbery that is so rampant. (neoGAF f#^%ers)

    The new SW MMO has my interest but it will have to overcome the cost of a new machine and my reactionary hatred.

    Actually, the dark void in my gaming life is quite the opposite of "Doctorjest's". I still have all of my old systems, I'm just looking the current generation's systems. I haven't had much time (or money) to play games and I feel like I got left behind when the xbox 360, PS3 and Wii systems came out....I still don't have any of them. I need to fill my void with some Hi-def quality games and find out what I have been missing. (Maybe this holiday season I will finally get my chance?)

    The Dark Void in my gaming life is definitely the absence of all the old systems I used to play on; Spectrum, C64, Nintendo, Sega, Amiga, Atari, you name it. Whether dead or disposed of, they're all gone now. What would fill it is one, giant, super-intelligent computer system capable of running all of their games, and with their old-style controllers; unfortunately, I'm pretty sure it's called Skynet...
