And I have a few more to add to the list from my attempts yesterday:
- WayForward
- Blizzard
- TellTale
- Renegade Kid
- Tecmo Koei
How desperate am I that I'm reaching out to Renegade Kid. Yikes. At any rate I did get an autoresponder from WayForward (the rep was on vacation). Other than that I must admit I'm getting just a bit disheartened. Hopefully I'll hear back from another company next week.
I remember a couple of years ago I reached out to Nintendo because I was doing a school project documentary about the History of Nintendo video game systems. They responded a week after I contacted them saying that I didn't have permission. They also didn't tell me I couldn't complete the project I just didn't have permission.
I wanted permission to use footage I captured with a capture card and do a voice over talking about that game. I picked 1 game for every system.

I reached out to Nintendo once before for something like this, but it was for a horror related show, and I asked for promo material for Luigi's Mansion. I knew it was a long-shot, but that time they responded fairly quickly and said something to the extent of "we get requests like this all the time, so no. And please stop wasting out time." It was probably a bit more polite than that, but that's what I got out of it.

I got the same message. They also said in mine that eventhough you don't have our permission it doesn't mean you can't still do it.
I figured since it was a student project and I wasn't planning on making money I would just make it anyway.

I finally got another response for this. A company called Gonzo Games offered me 10 Steam codes for Q*Bert Rebooted. Who knew a new Q*bert game was out?? Apparently it's classic Qbert with a second version that's kind of like Candy Crush. Anyway, pretty cool of them to throw down.
Nice.
You've got a pretty decent convention in your own backyard in just a few weeks. Florida SuperCon is at the Miami Convention center I think. They've got a good guest list too. Jason Momoa and a few other Game of Thrones actors if I'm not mistaking. Plus they've got a good group running it. Always fun stuff going on there.
