1. PR folks: Hey, can we send you a @mythic_quest swag box, which you will then talk about on your socials?

Me: I HAVE STANDARDS

PR: It comes with a T-shirt.

ME: THAT IS MY STANDARD SEND THIS SWAG BOX

The Mythic Quest Swag Box is here. Embark on this journey with me.

2. (For those of you who do not know, @mythic_quest is an @AppleTV workplace comedy series about life at a video game development company, which started its second season last month. Here is the trailer for Season Two.)

3. ANYWAY BACK TO THE SWAG BOX. First up: An Apple TV 4k streaming box, as @AppleTV+ is a streaming service; they want to make sure I can access the #MythicQuest series (as it happens I already have an Apple TV+ subscription, which I got to watch Greyhound. But it's still nice!).

4. Underneath the streaming device: A journal, a pen and the promised #MythicQuest t-shirt! Let's examine each more closely, shall we?

5. The @mythic_quest journal has deckled paper hand-stitched into a supple leather cover, and smells exactly like your favorite ren faire shop that *doesn't* sell a turkey leg the size of Dwayne Johnson's bicep.

6. The #mythicquest pen has a matte black surface that is silky to the touch, a futuristic clicky mechanism, and looks like it could probably write in zero gravity, although the swag box does not include a trip to space in it, so that's just speculation.

7. And finally the @mythic_quest T-shirt, fashionably "pre-distressed" -- neck and arms are frayed and the silk screening cracked like it's been your favorite t-shirt forever and you'll keep wearing it no matter how often your partner tries to sneak it into the trash. HOW DARE.

8. THUS ENDS OUR @mythic_quest SWAG BOX JOURNEY. I hope it was everything you hoped it would be. Also, #MythicQuest actually is pretty damn funny, maybe check it out (Also, I thought that before I got the fashionably distressed t-shirt WHICH I AM NOW WEARING, I swear).
