Joyswag: Rare Alan Wake goodies from E3 [update]

by Dustin Burg on Jun 11th 2009 12:00AM

Update: Congratulations to Joyswag winner heyo007! Sweet dreams ...

After emptying our pockets post-E3, we came across some nifty Alan Wake swag that was tucked away in the side pockets of our carpenter jeans. And, in Joystiq tradition, we're giving it all away to one lucky reader.

Up for grabs is an exclusive (and quite rare) Alan Wake E3 faceplate that's numbered 477 out of 500 and an attractive Alan Wake t-shirt (sized XL, of course). If you think about it, the swag pairing makes logical sense: the faceplate covers your Xbox 360 and the tee covers your buff, naked self.

To enter, leave a comment telling us about your most recent nightmare.
You must be 18 years or older and a resident of the US or Canada (excluding Quebec).
Limit 1 entry per person.
This entry period ends at 11:59 pm ET on Thursday, June 11.
At that time, we'll randomly select 1 winner to receive a Alan Wake E3 faceplate and t-shirt (ARV: $50). Please check your email!

we are going on vacation soon so my nightmare was about ourplane going down. Its not much but its a scary possibility.

flying is much safer than driving. i'm sure you know this, but the danger is perceived because it's always shown on TV whenever it happens. i don't remember the numbers but you could fly every second of your life and the chance of even a minor incident is exceptionally low.

anyway, i have a hard time remembering my dreams/nightmares. i had one recently where i was basically Dexter Morgan, hiding/running away when people were after me. not a traditional nightmare but it was pretty freaky.

A giant eagle is outside my house looking in every window at me and I'm freaked the hell out.

I've had a nightmare where I was a giant eagle looking into a cage where a fat man was sweating and dancing from room to room. He danced like a serpent.

I had a nightmare about a man made out of sliced onions, only he was in claymation, just sitting there watching TV and eating chips on my couch and watching TV, while I was cowering in absolute fear in the other corner of the couch, and for some reason I was Montana Max from tiny toons

but that was like 12 years ago so i guess that doesnt count. Last week I was an ODST and I dropped out of the pillar of autumn onto Halo, and when I got out of my drop pod there was an entirely new type of flood, actually it looks like the daigon (?) from the Halo 2 collectors edition deleted stuff, and it ripped my right in half

wayne, you should go see a shrink...

last time I went to Dr. Strange he tried to sell my secret identity to gotham's underground!

I had a nightmare that Duke Nukem Forever actually released!

...Wait.

Lost my nose.... M.Jackson style.

I had a nightmare that I beat up Chuck Norris. The fact that its impossible is what's scary.

In my dreams I was a cop working for the NYPD.

One day I went home and I found the dead body of my wife and my baby girl.
12 years after that incident I was send to Brazil. I was bald, had a horrible beard, and looked like a psycho dad.
My years of being a hard boiled cop and his noirs adventures were over.

Man last night I had a nightmare I was being chased by a zombie like in left 4 dead but then I rolled them with my shotty!

I dreamed that I left the second comment on a blog post.

In January, I woke up crying from a nightmare where the woman I love was killed in a car wreck.

I had a nightmare that i didnt get this swag...it was horrible

My last nightmare was where Vectorman and Ristar were on their way to the auditions for Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing and how they had a crazy taxi ride on the way there, but the guy driving was Iwata of Nintendo fame (who is actually a Snatcher), and he shot them both in the face and dumped the car into a lake, but hitting Ryo and Orta on the way and the taxi landed on Ecco under the water. Iwata then dressed up like Silver the Hedgehog and went into the SEGA Europe building...

I had a nightmare that this game actually started a franchise that took over the world, and I was first in line.

My dream was that Mass Effect 2 was just around the corner...but then it got delayed 2 years.

may as well.

Showing up to take the bar exam, but I forgot my computer and I couldn't get in the door. It's 6+ weeks away and I am way stressed already...

I haven't had a nightmare that I could remember in a long time. so ya.

I can't remember the last one I had.

I was walking down the streets of Seattle. I turned a corner, and on the far side of the street, I saw a shadowy figure. It was wearing a trenchcoat and due to the heavy fog, I couldn't make out whoever it was. I squinted and shouted, "Hello?". The figure turned first its head, and then its body to face me. It slowly marched towards me. A tingling feeling crept up my spine, but I decided not to act upon my instincts and to first see the creature. As it approached me, I could make out its face, and to my surprise, it was the face of Professor Farnsworth of Futurama. Incredulously, I asked, "Professor Farnsworth, is that you?!". He replied, "Good news, everyone! No!". At that, he took off the mask I mistakenly thought was his face and revealed the mug of Justin McElroy. As I opened my mouth to scream, he opened his own until it was my size and swallowed me whole.

To all Joystiq Readers: Back the f**k off. This one is mine.

He replied, "Now, this is a story all about how my life got flipped-turned upside down and I'd like to take a minute Just sit right there I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air."

I screamed and ran.

give it to this man

which one? me or CH3BURASHKA?

CH3BYRASHKA

A large evil tree chasing a train and i was trying to stop it from the car that i was following it in. We were driving next to the tracks on a road doing whatever we could think of to stop this tree.

last night i dreamt i was justin...
I know, i know, scary stuff.

I dreamed my 36o HDD broke, ruining all my saved games. Except its real.

My latest nightmare involved GIANT ANTS crawling up my naked body!!!

It was weird.. for some reason I was sentenced to life in prison. If you think about it.. it would really suck having to spend the rest of your life in prison.

I was reading kotaku!

zing!

THE HORROR!

When I was a kid I used to have something called " night fright " and I would just wake up randomly screaming at the top of my lungs and my parents would rush in and wake me up. It finally stopped when I was about 12 and last week it happened again for the time in YEARS. My parents had to wake me up ( im home for the summer from college ) .... and the scary part to me is, i have not ONCE remembered the dream that makes me so scared.

i had a dream that I won something from joystiq but when i woke up i realized that I've never won anything from joystiq

I had a nightmarish dream recently that my Dad was helping me with some work on my new house and he cut off two of his fingers with a power saw and while I was rushing him to the hospital he was yelling at me about how I was driving.

It was a lot more scary in the dream than it sounds.

Lately, I've been playing so much Fallout 3 that I actually dreamed I was in the post-apocalyptic world - VATS and all.

It was strange because all my friends were there too and were acting like it was no big deal, and I kept trying to explain to them what had happened and how to survive out there in the Wasteland.

Yes, I am slightly addicted to Fallout 3.

I died.. The End

dreamed that my body was contorting in different positions while i was trying to show the bottom of my shoe.

Falling off the edge of the world.

I had a nightmare I was wearing pants.

It was horrible.

waking up to broken systems... thats my worst nightmare.

My ex-girlfriend was ripping my lips off. She had force-fed me painkillers so that I don't pass out from the pain, allowing me to be conscious through it all. I woke up and felt my lips, laughed and went back to sleep. I never could look at her the same.

We wake up one morning and all the caffeine in the world is gone...

I had a dream that alan wake was vaporware.

I didn't win the swag was my last.

i fell off a very high staircase....and splat....lol and it turned out for some damn evil reason my lower leg raised in the air and droppped to hit the bed just as i went splat and startled me awake........damn evil leg
