Mailbag: Giant Bomb Mailbag: Arkham Edition

ALEX NAVARRO IS QUITTING HARMONIX CONFIRMED.
 
I guess?

" @Brad said:

" @MAST: Note in the video we only got the 360 version of the game in for review, so it's not just us. That happens pretty frequently these days, to be honest. "

 I think MAST was implying that you guys specifically requested the 360 version from Eidos and shunned the PS3 version, Brad. "

you should fire Alex Navarro... he hasn't shown up to work in... ever! what does he DO at Giantbomb??

" @trophyhunter: i very much doubt it considering brads comment "

skidding around the corner = WIN

" Hah, it's so weird they sent you that with Alex's name on. This video was great, especially the ending with Brad sniggering behind the camera. "

One of the best mailbags videos so far.

New best ending to a GB video :) Wish they had the Hannibal Lecter mask and some guard uniforms, then walk around a park with him. When kids get close pretend to lose control over him. Yes i am evil.

And this is the reason why this is the best gaming site in the WORLD!  :D

" @MAST: Note in the video we only got the 360 version of the game in for review, so it's not just us. That happens pretty frequently these days, to be honest. "

lol Best Ending EVER!

So if you guys get a strait jacket with my name on it, I can work at Giant Bomb?  :D

NOOOOOOOOOO, DAVE ESCAPED!!  WE HAVE TO GO CATCH HIM!!!

aaaagh some of these comments make me want to die!
 
Aaaaanyway, i love how that jacket was made with Alex in mind, either they were extremely ignorant or totally awesome Alex fans, or perhaps something that i don't know! either way, the ending was fantastic.

Of course the Post Office now has to arrest Ryan for opening Alex's mail :)

Fantastic

DAVE RULES

GiantBomb needs an "OfficeVids" tab. These are all quickly becoming classics that I want to que up whenever I need to see Ryan go sliding around to the office door. Heh heh heh. 
 
In other news, it's the AMAZING DAVE! Watch him impersonate Alex and escape from a straight jacket AT THE SAME TIME!

so did alex forget to transfer his 401k from giant bomb to harmonix?

Ending is amazing.

Don't open other people's mail! 
Isn't there a law that prohibits this?  Alex N. made his appearance on GB, hasn't he?  Even if this is a joke and even if this is some kind of promotional handout, he is still entitled to open his mail himself. Or does the address and the firm's name take precedence?
 
What bothers me most is that neither the video, nor any of the 100+ comments voiced a concern.

Do it again, only this time speed up the footage and use 'Yakety-Sax' as the background music!
 

Awww, poor Real Dave.
 
And awesome comedy slide there from Ryan at the end.

Nice. I literally JUST finished watching like fifteen Breaking the Magician's Code: Magic's Biggest Secrets Finally Revealed trick segments in a row. Thanks for reading my mind, GB!
 
Hilarious. We all knew Alex wanted to follow the crew after he jumped on the let's quit Gamespot bandwagon. I wonder if he misled Eidos or if they're just ignorant. (edit: oh right! the PAX panel! I forgot about that. -- And GWAR at PAX had everything to do with what Giant Bomb stands for, Jeff from panel)
 
The jacket was totally on backwards.
 
You have five mittens to escape.

While the cat's away...

If I'm brutally honest, this is kinda kinky.

This is why I love Giant Bomb.  Hopefully a QL comes out before tomorrow, other wise I'll just be playing the game myself.

Dude, this is JUST what I needed after my day. THANK YOU EIDOS AND GB FOR MAKING MY DAY

Don't know how to put on a straitjacket... For shame.

Dave....that facial hair, and that sweatshirt....please.....too much to bear. ;-)

I'd love to see Alex in a video response with him watching this feature for the first time.

I love your antics Giantbomb!

I WANT TO IMPERSONATE A CRAZY ALEX NAVARO

If there was a Dave Snider page I would have added:

• Dave is a magician who preforms his tricks throught the use of clones. Which Dave is the real one is unknown but it is said he goes home everynight and cries.
  

lol I love Jackass

love the ending lol

This definitely cheered me up after a long day of Band Camp. 

I love that there's someone on Eidos' PR team that said "yeah, Alex works at Giant Bomb, right? I mean, he left Gamespot with Jeff, Brad, Ryan and Vinny didn't he? ah fuck it, I'm not looking it up..."

too bad alex isn't really there.

Nice.
 
Eidos clearly approve of Alex becoming a GB staff member - if only.  I know he's having fun at Harmonix, though.

ahaha, best mailbag in a while.

Loved The Prestige reference in there. Given that it was a Christopher Nolan movie...Batman Arkham Asylum...you see where I'm going with this.
