What's in the Box?
 

Today I came home to a strange looking box. It was wrapped in a paper bag style wrap, as well as a cellophane cover. The return address was someone I knew, so I decided to avoid calling the CDC and dive in to find just what the depths held.

Click the headline for a bit of an unboxing.

Upon opening the box, I was greeted with the smell of the farm. I had spent some time with horses as a lad with some friends who often traveled to upstate New York in order to tend to a farmhouse and land. There was a small oval container within, nestled within hay.


I removed the small box and noticed two other items down below. One was a letter, sealed with an old fashioned wax impression. The other was a crudly wrapped rectangle, also sealed with wax. Opening up the oval container revealed a small vial filled with red liquid and yet another note, sealed with wax.


Breaking the wax seal first on the smaller note, I read the following:

Each Grey Warden must drink
of that which would destroy us.

Some master the blood
of the darkspawn, some perish.

Will you test your strength
against corruption itself?

The letter was next:


The final package was clear at this point... Dragon Age: Origins. Looks like I've got some work to do.

Sometimes, grandma sends me cookies in a box. But to take pictures and post them on the internet would be showing off and therefore mean. :p

so whats in the bottle, maple syrup>?

An energy drink. Really.

It appears to be some sort of energy drink.

if only they sent me a copy of the game like that !!!!!! I had to just settle for a copy from best buy in a blue bag

(note to self wright game review's for boxes)
(second note to self learn to spell)

So you got a box full of shit with a great game tossed in? Awesome! :D

Clearly that's not my intention, just wanted to share something cool with you all.

Well, when you get around to doing that, let us know. ;)

:I'm a regular ray of sunshine!:

I enjoyed your box of awesome and would of done the same thing. I love these type of review copies, they just scream awesome.

That's cool, was the game free?

Where do you get the diablo style flasks anyway? I've always wanted a few of those.

Great start to a great review.

Very nice, it reminds me of this from a while back

My review copy came with an actual dragon egg that promptly hatched. Thing's pretty cute, snorts out flames when it sneezes and snaps at flies for fun. I think you got screwed ;P

No doubt, a box full of shit...including the worst version of the game.

Oh you think he's cute now... but just you wait. He'll grow up and get bigger, then mom'll flush him down the toilet when he eats your cat. Then he'll keep growing in the sewers of your town and the next thing you know... they're making movies about the error of your way.

At least you're objective. That's important.

An Apple Cinnamon Mana Potion, if I see correctly.

I like those quite a bit, and everyone I've ever dealt with a Mana has been cool. Good company, solid product. I'll stop now, I'm sounding like a shill.

I might get a few just for the bottles. And then refill them with kooliad...
