I’ve done quite a few Gamefly articles this week. I wanted to share with the rest of you the recent gift I received from Gamefly. As an established and longstanding member of that exclusive club, known only as Gamefly, I received an interesting *ahem* free *ahem* gift in the mail yesterday.
Not a coupon.
Not a game guide.
I got a coaster. That’s right, a drink coaster and yes, it was free.
Score.
Check out the picture after the jump.
As a coaster it doesn’t really do it’s job. It gets soggy really easy and when it gets wet it leaves purple marks on my rich mahogany tables. I do not like purple marks on my rich mahogany. Thanks Gamefly.
I found a shiny disc inside of it the other day. My daughter likes to play with it. I thought it may be a music CD, so I put it into my CD player. That was a bad decision…
It made the loudest screeching and clanging sound, I’d ever heard….
Stupid Swedish Death Metal. I should have known by the look of the coaster. Well, anyway, here’s what it looks like:
I think I’m just gonna end up throwing it out anyway. Seems kinda useless.
Too bad it didn’t look like this:
See the rich wood finish. That’s useful. That’s a gift and they can even keep the Swedish Death Metal rocker stuff on it.

I always used my crappy free coasters as target practice with my paintball gun.

VinDali I remember I always used to get those god damn AOL free trial cds. And every shop here in Scotland I went into there was boxes of them

I’ve seen people use those discs to make art since they had so many of them.

It looks great at the bottom of my garbage can.

I think people actually got sued by AOL for gathering those and making crap out of them. Like the guys who used empty fed-ex boxes to make a couch.

I want one of those.

That was good I was thinking that I didn’t remember getting a coaster from Gamefly.

Hey, don’t throw it away!
It’s free stuff - Dave may want it!

My friend bought 30 coasters for the price of one. The box said £1, so he took the whole box to the counter with about 30 in it and the dumb blonde at the counter gave it to him for £1 :). (its meant to be £1 each)
Now he can have 30 drinks out at one go.
Imagine if someone was deluded enough to buy the actual game of WoW, you get 4 luxury coasters.

Yeah, know how you feel. My aparment complex used to be riddled with AOL free trials, they made pretty damn good frisbys, and lawn ornaments for annoying neibors if you catch my drift. That was way back when before I even knew what the internet was, oh blissfull innocence.

I used a bunch of AOL discs to make a mirror
