I think I should win the mouse for my pure awesomeness. That's right. The nerd in me is crying for it. It'd fit so well in my LOTR decorated room and along my DAO box that is actually hanged on the wall! It may not help me much with the girls. However, being able to stare at it for an hour or two would mostly compensate for it.

A Dragon Age Mouse to join me on my adventures – short of having a real sword and shield there could be little better than this to add to the Dragon Age experience. I have put 4 wardens through the joining, slain 3 Arch-Daemons, triumphed at Ostagar and survived the rigours of Awakenings. I can’t wait for my next adventure; in fact just the thought of donning the grey and driving out the Darkspawn… I may have to leave work early today. I’d love the mouse, but then the t-shirt is awesome too.

I should win because im poor, I saved for 6 months to buy this game and just bought the expansion with money from mowing lawns. Ive played through the original game with the pad on my laptop, not lying. I cant afford these fantsy headsets and gaming gear that other people can. I dont usually enter these contests…at all, but the chance to have a mouse without buying one is amazing. I know this story sounds bazaar but im completely honest, im a HUGE fan of the game, but its hard to enjoy at the moment. Much love.
Comment by Amber on March 30, 2010 at 2:46 am
Can I claim poor college student as why I should win (Though at least I was lucky enough to have Dragon Age gifted to me)? It would be awesome to play Dragon Age with the Dragon Age mouse and curiously my current mouse is dying (so excellent contest timing) and the tragic “click” sound is terribly annoying. Terribly. Like when the Hurlock Alpha laughs at you. Well actually that would be a cool, albeit creepy, mouse sound. So to sum up: love dragons, need mouse. Awesome contest and much love for including Canadians!

I could really use a new mouse, my current one is an MX1000, nice mouse but it has a dead left mouse button, not to mention the game that killed it was actually Dragon Age. Been using a taped piece of plastic across the scroll up button and mapped it to the left mouse button. It still works alright but a new G9 would be so much better. At least I wouldn't have to change the tape periodically. Also in a small way it would seem like Dragon Age was paying me back for breaking my mouse.

I guess exorzist made a big enough stink about the Bioware Bazaar to get these prizes for GreyWardens.com?
Comment by @Heart1lly on March 30, 2010 at 3:00 am
No. These prizes were provided by EA when he was invited to the Awakening event in Germany.
Comment by Nikki R. on March 30, 2010 at 3:29 am
I am a 22 year old mom of two, I play on the touch pad of my laptop and do not own a mouse for it. Do you know how uncomfortable that is after changing diapers, snatching children from busy traffic parking lots, pushing strollers, vacuuming, washing dishes, doing laundry, killing the bug your child is afraid of , singing the itsy bitsy spider for the thousandth time, cooking, scrubbing the walls of crayon… if you have any love for your mothers, you will hand over the mouse before you get middle named and I call YOUR mother to complain!
Comment by John A. on March 30, 2010 at 3:30 am
I should win cause I love DA:O. What more needs to be said?
Comment by Elpie on March 30, 2010 at 3:35 am
Do I have to enter the Fade to get the mouse? No? How sad. I'd love to play Dragon Age with a Dragon Age mouse and, when I am not using it, it will remind me at a glance that I should be playing. As Alistair would say, that's a good thing, right?
Comment by Kitty K on March 30, 2010 at 3:56 am
Well heck. After reading some comments here I'd rather someone who needs the mouse to have it, but I'd be freakishly delighted for a t-shirt! I've been drooling after Bioware apparel for a long time but I'm currently in art school – so on top of tuition, classroom fees, and text books, I have to spend an ungodly amount of cash on overpriced art supplies/art software. I'm in a bit of a bind, my friends. Not to mention that as a dirty stinky artist, I connect with the dirty looking shirt.
In eloquent summary: Shiny t-shirt oh pretty, pretty please?
Comment by Clifford Dutka on March 30, 2010 at 4:25 am
I believe I should win, except I do not want the mouse, I have two G7 mice and believe the mouse should go to someone that could use it more then I. The mouse would just collect dust with me and as a proud Grey Warden that has slain the Arch Daemon, retook Ostagar and Warden's Keep, rescued the Stone Prisoner and slough the mother, believe that if I will not use the weapon it should go to someone else.
However; every Grey Warden needs his armor and that shirt would make some fine armor. (that is one nice shirt)
Comment by Michael Berube on March 30, 2010 at 4:48 am
What a precious item here I see
Truly forged to make darkspawn flee
I shall keep it by my side
A loyal companion against the tide
The Mother will Screech
As we begin our breach
With the mouse in my hand
Before the people of Denerim I will stand:
"Fear not my friends for the blight ends with me"
My companion
A marvelous mouse
We shall cause a rouse.
For if it is bestowed upon me
Ferelden will be as safe as can be.
Comment by CWagner on March 30, 2010 at 6:42 am
I don't deserve the mouse as I have the Logitech MX Revolution, which is the most awesome mouse ever:D
On the other hand I'd absolutely love to get that t-shirt as shipping to Germany out of the Bioware store is so expensive I can't afford to buy all that fancy DragonAge schwag I'd love to have! Oh, and it is the most awesome t-shirt. Ever!
Comment by @hellraiser89 on March 30, 2010 at 6:48 am
hmm let me think. why should i win the mouse? um because its dragon age. nuff said
Comment by Jerry on March 30, 2010 at 6:58 am
Wow! after reading that i am not even going to enter! Eloquently spoken and truly deserving of such a fine gaming mouse! Well Done!
Comment by Illiani on March 30, 2010 at 7:48 am
I think you should give the loot to me,
Because it is awesome & free.
But its' kinda gay, CaK won't let me play,
Until the day he works for EA. :(
Comment by Bryan Belew on March 30, 2010 at 8:28 am
I deserve the mouse because Dragon Age is my favorite game and still playing it, after starting in November. Best game ever.
Comment by Kraven on March 30, 2010 at 9:16 am
Why should I win the mouse? Cause I'm a long term Dragon age fan, from well before the game was released and kind of in the need of a new mouse, computer, overall a full replacement, but hey a new mouse would be a good start.
In addition to that the mouse is just absolutely gorgeous.
Comment by Carez on March 30, 2010 at 10:13 am
AS a french people, my english may not be right but my passion for Dragon Age is.
Comment by coleman07 on March 30, 2010 at 10:47 am
to hell with the mouse I rather hae the t-shirt
Comment by Xandrar on March 30, 2010 at 11:05 am
In all honesty, the room I live has a sort of mouse problem (the vermin version), and what better way then to scare mouses away with scary dragon-mouses?
Comment by Couky on March 30, 2010 at 1:18 pm
This is quite pitiful… they should instead realease patch to fix all the bugs that brave fans are fixing for hem :
Comment by Illiani on March 30, 2010 at 4:15 pm
Somewhat off-topic, don't you think?
Comment by @Aerowen on March 30, 2010 at 4:35 pm
Female Grey Wardens Unite!
With this Logitech mouse I will fight!
From Mass Effect 2 to Dragon Age,
I will point and click from stage to stage.
I have owned every game,
With Bioware's name.
I will fight for the lost,
Whatever the cost.
But the greatest reward for me,
Would be that wonderful mouse, you see.
For my loyalty is true,
Though its up to you!
I'm still a Bioware Fan Girl Forever,
No matter what their endeavor.
I will always follow their brand,
Like some amazing rock band.
Comment by Phosphor on March 30, 2010 at 5:05 pm
Because I'm dressing up as my battlemage/arcane warrior for PAX and I'll totally hang it from my belt as a trinket while doing so.

Comment by Sloth of Doom on March 30, 2010 at 8:03 pm
Um….shouldn’t you be restricting this to a small portion of your site visitors based on gegraphical location? I’m pretty sure that is in the official handbook of how to deal with these things. :)
Comment by Doug on March 30, 2010 at 8:50 pm
I would love to win any of the prizes, well first point , I love this , the game for me is a great escape. I never win anything . I have played it from every angle and still want to play it again . Even if I don’t win thanks for letting me enter.
Comment by CaK on March 30, 2010 at 7:18 pm
We don't restrict because we think everybody should have the same chance to win. Aren't we fair?
Comment by botlite on March 31, 2010 at 2:16 am
I should win the mouse because I sure won't be winning anything from the Bioware Bazaar.
Comment by malgg on March 31, 2010 at 12:18 am
My wife has recently been threatening me with divorce over the amount of time that I've been spending playing Dragon Age. Since I'm really going to miss her when she's gone, I think I deserve to win the mouse to make myself feel better. :)
Comment by Phal on March 31, 2010 at 1:42 am
I like DA mice
They're why we create haikus
And are good for you.

Comment by chazzd13 on March 31, 2010 at 4:21 am
Top 5 reasons why I should win this mouse:
5. I've worn out my old mouse triggering banter between all of my companions.
4. My wife stole my mouse, and I failed to persuade her to give it back.
3. For this new mouse I would fashion a grip, perhaps from a certain rhyming tree to silence his lip.
2. If I win this mouse, I will not use the scroll wheel to take a peek under Morrigan’s robes. Promise!
And the #1 reason:
1. When my wife and I have a baby, it’ll be a *spoilerspoilerspoiler*
Comment by Illiani on March 31, 2010 at 4:39 am
Either that, or its because we're a little miffed none of the team can enter the Bazaar. Who knows what it could be, we'll let the reader decide… :P
Comment by 5Warlocks on March 31, 2010 at 7:40 am
I need that mouse in order to fight off the schleets.
Comment by rei on March 31, 2010 at 10:30 am
The responses that tend to win these things usually meet two requirements: (1) they are funny and (2) there’s a serious undertone. People like to be entertained, but without a more somber dimension the submitter simply comes across as a shallow clown rather than a precious human being who deserves a new mouse.
My cat died yesterday.
Comment by StarMars on March 31, 2010 at 10:46 am
Dear GreyWardens,
I desperately need your help with my plight(not the blight). When I'm not slaying darkspawn, I play mostly RTS (Warcraft III) and oh boy, I'm very competitive at that. Just imagine all the keyboard mashing and mouse clicking (high apm, actions per minute) and you'll picture the state of my mouse and keyboard. Their age do not help either — my keyboard is turning three and my mouse about two. The left click button of my mouse has started to deteriorate recently, requiring me to click harder before it responds. I need a new mouse.
StarMars,
desperate gamer
Comment by Lucas on March 31, 2010 at 8:53 am
My cat keeps constantly playing with whatever mouse I use and maybe, just maybe, if I had this custom mouse, it would get scared of the Blood Dragon and finally let me play in peace.

I would like to win the mouse because im on disability, and i make $600, which 400 of that goes to rent and the rest goes towards utilities and medical expenses. I have a brain tumor and I cant walk. Dragon age is my life at the moment and so is Awankening and the Bioware Coummunity and Facebook. I need a new mouse in using a mouse that is 6 yrs old that i got from the salvation army.
Comment by The Answer on March 31, 2010 at 2:22 pm
I will slap you if i don't get it
Comment by @heycheri on March 31, 2010 at 8:27 pm
I deserve this mouse because I am awesome! And also, because Dragon's Age is one of my fav games for PS3, and the story is ridiculously cool. Battle system could use some work, though. Haha! THANK YOU!
Comment by zxclu on March 31, 2010 at 8:59 pm
It is only she, it, on the surface of my table here, now, and only it counts. Here and now. And that's what I played before, where I played and I played once before, it does not have any, the slightest importance. The time now is with me here, among my room. With me, with anyone else. This is what I think, still thinking about it, constantly thinking about her, feeling her energy. And you just look at yourself.

Comment by GG on March 31, 2010 at 11:14 pm
I have worn off the finish on my current G9 and would love a new one. The DA logo on it would be the icing on the cake!
Heckm I would be happy with the T-shirt!
Comment by angk76 on March 31, 2010 at 9:24 pm
Because I'm pretty…..darn addicted to Dragon Age! And *massive spoilers-massive spoilers-massive-spoilers* so I think I should get the mouse! ;)
Comment by Geigen on March 31, 2010 at 10:21 pm
I deserve this mouse because my current mouse that I have had for over 4 years has been killed from playing DA:O so much. If I win it I would put it to good use defeating the blight and making sure Ohgren gets all the lovely ale that he could ever desire. Otherwise Sir-Pounce-A-Lot will have to come there and show you who the boss is.
P.S. it would really help with my gaming and my work for college doing digital effects and animation. Did I mention I’m a really nice person?
Comment by Jennifer Elizabeth Creagh on May 5, 2010 at 11:24 pm
Any news on when the results will be announced?
