The good news? We've got a copy of Jonathan Coulton's latest project to give away. It's a double-disc set that features a DVD full of videos from his "Best. Concert. Ever." that was filmed in San Francisco last year, and a CD packed with the music from the same event. That's over 20 tracks, the accompanying videos, and a nifty plastic-free box to hold it in.

The bad news? You have to read through our entire two-part interview with him and send us a footnoted and bibliographed book report on it. Okay, just kidding. But if you're the slightest bit interested, it's there for your reading enjoyment. Once you've moseyed through, leave a comment here telling us what your dream job would be.

Up for grabs are a copy of Prototype and Wolverine for the Xbox 360.

[Update: We've picked a winner! Congratulations, mahunoy! Everyone else: thanks for the best wishes. Here's to five (hundred?) more! Now, enough playtime. We've got some news to report on!]

Earlier this week, Joystiq turned five. Five! That's half a decade of daily video game reporting. That's over 38,000 posts and over 1.5 million of your comments. That's up from over 27,000 posts last year, and less than a million comments! Let's put that in perspective: even lowballing the average word count per post at 100 words (for example, this post is 339 words) that's nearly four million words! How does that stack up? If Joystiq had been a monthly magazine, and if you consider a standard printed page to be 250 words per page (spoiler: game magazines aren't 250 words per page), each issue would have been over 250 pages, with no images and no ads. And we're lowballing here! And that doesn't include comments.

So what? This is all to say, "Thanks!" Thanks for reading the site today; this week; this year; or this half-decade. Thanks for supporting our unique flavor of game journalism. Thanks for taking us to task when we get it wrong and for sharing when we get it right. Thanks for being interested enough in video games to read about them every day, multiple times a day, and for staying engaged.

So, what better way to say "thanks" than to give you free stuff. Introducing Swag Saturdays – every Saturday, we'll be donating something from our pile of free stuff to you, the Reader. Slow week, it may be a shirt for an iPhone game. This week: A superhero c-c-c-combo pack for your PS3, featuring both inFamous and Prototype.

Again, thanks!

-Love, Team Joystiq

Rules after the break!

Naughty Dog just gave us 300 Uncharted 2 multiplayer codes to give out (zowie, thanks guys!), and we're going to be randomly dropping them in groups of 30 throughout the day. If you snag one, pop it into your PS3 right away ... there are only two weeks left in the beta! But that's still plenty of time to plunder and "accidentally" kill your own team with grenades.

Stay tuned to the Joystiq Twitterfeed for more info. We're not going to be doing a Da Vinci Code treasure hunt for these suckers, but they won't be right here on the front page either. Watch shortly for the first batch, and keep your PS3 opened to the PlayStation Store where you can redeem the codes. Good luck!

Update: We've confirmed via Naughty Dog that these codes are good for the US and Canada only, unfortunately. Sorry about that! It's out of our hands, unfortunately.

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.

Joystiq readers, you know we love you. We wouldn't be out here covering E3 if it weren't for you checking us for stories, browsing our galleries, and sending us tips. Seriously, you are the entire reason we exist in the first place. We know a lot of you read about our meetups and lament the fact that you can't get your smiling faces out here and participate.

Well, with that in mind, you'll want to stay tuned to this post right here. Why? Well because you can participate in our first ever virtual swag off, concurrent with our E3 meetup in Los Angeles. We were lucky enough to snag some codes from EA for Battlefield 1943 on XBL and PSN ... before it's even out! We'll drop a code throughout the evening, so keep refreshing this post and keep your fingers poised over the "enter code" section on your platform of choice.

Hey gang, we're about ready to mutiny over this Battlefield issue. We're just going to drop 30 (!) Uncharted 2 multiplayer codes, and we'll send you the Battlefield: 1943 codes closer to that wonky July 1st date. We apologize for the mess, but we're doing what we can! We hope you still love us. Check behind the break for the Uncharted 2 codes, and we're just going to firehose all of them into the post in a break.

Update: Thanks for entering, folks! Keep an eye on your email to see if you won.
