Mailbag: Giant Bomb Mailbag: 07/11/2013

A thank you to the Giant Bomb community from our noses and livers.

What's in the mail? Is it an old T-shirt? A lunchbox full of rusty knives? Video game treasures? Canadian energy drinks?

I want to thank you guys for seemingly being back to "normal", even if its just for the camera- it helps a lot. It's weird how much someone you never met can mean so much to you, and you just don't realize it.

Now you have to have someone send you sports cars. That's the next logical step from RPG's.

EDIT: Maybe not with Jeff seeming to be so stoic and "meh" as usual... Jesus, we are trying to help.

Come on, cut the guy some slack. What did you expect, that he's goign to jump on table and to a little "thank you" dance? ;)

Also: choclate oranges are actually DELICIOUS

First off: I agree. Chocolate oranges are delicious as fuck.

Secondly: I know Jeff isn't very emotional, and I know this week has fucking sucked for him, but maybe I was looking for gratitude. I dunno. The community has reached out immensely.

The killer is knowing most of the booze was most likely sent for for Ryan as wedding present's. He was the scotch drinker and that is several hundred dollars in fine scotch

Great to see all the flowers & thanks to everyone for those along with the mailbags.

Sidenote-candied oranges are good, chocolate is good but together this combination is just plain mental. Had many different things combining citrus & chocolate with all of them being stuff I never want to try a 2nd time. Whoever thought of the chocolate orange should be introduced to the business end of a catapult.

That uk snack pack is all killer, no filler. Digestives are kinda like what you guys call graham crackers, but nicer.

It's funny seeing biscuits and crisps I consider mundane being looked on with great suspicion. You guys should try them all for sure! Digestives are great for dipping in tea.

Digestives are a type of biscuit, or what you would call a cookie I guess. They are banned from being called Digestives in america because they're not aides to digestion. They are resilient biscuits that used to be consumed on ships since they would last long journeys.

Seeing you guys put on the brave faces and making the odd joke is really inspiring. Thanks guys, and thanks to the community for being the embodiment of the human spirit in this cesspool of a place that we call the internet. I'll miss you Ryan.

@drewbert the talisker is the one you and Patrick got in Iceland at the meet up. I think Ryan would like it, it is an excellent single malt.

This is the most British-ass mailbag ever.

So weird to hear Jeff mis-pronounce so many common items. Bizarre and equally hilarious.

That empty desk though... God damn. God damn.
