Mailbag: Giant Bomb Mailbag: Arkham Edition

See? This is what happens when the inmates run the asylum.

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

the really funny thing is that, we all know who Alex Navarro is.

If it's addressed to the business then it's completely fine for them to open, even with Alex's name on it. It's a UPS package anyway, not a USPS package, even if nobody really cares (especially Alex). 
 
Now if Ryan had went down the street and stolen mail from of the local 7/11, brought it back, and taped himself opening it, then you've got something to whine about.

I wonder if the guys at Eidos actually thought Dave was Alex so that's why they adressed it to him.

Maybe Eidos knows that Alex doesn't work at the bomb and it was really just some sort of social commentary.  Like since Alex is so close to you guys, his mind is a prisoner of Giantbomb, always thinking about it here.

Alex Navarro is a spiritual employee of Giant Bomb. :P There should have been a sign at the bottom of the screen at the end saying "Warning: Hitchhiker's may be escaping Dave Snider's."

@Dany  "are you serious...."

dead serious, never open my mail!
and there was no "unrelaxed" about my comment, it was informing people its a real law, there were enough comments stating otherwise... my friend got arrested in high school for stealing someones mailbox because it pulled out of the ground easily.. so yeah its real. Same law can apply with the baseball bat mailbox hittin' kids, you can get in big ass trouble if caught; tampering with mail on top of vandalism! Again good law, what if you had merchandise or a paycheck in that mailbox?

 I wonder if enough game companies send stuff to Giant Bomb with Alex's name on it will Alex leave Harmonix to reap the rewards of free swag. Make it happen! Send as much stuff to Alex in the GB office as possible. Hell, after putting out a Beatles game it cant get much better can it? Join the GB crew!!

" Why don't you fat asses just say "Thank you" to all these companies that send you stuff?  You get cool swag, and all you do is complain about the abundance of trailers?  I got the same feeling of ingratitude when "heart attack waiting to happen" Jeff, got a cool Giant Bomb dog collar.  The look of boredom on his face was sickening.  At least Vinny said "Thanks" to the person who sent Jone's Soda with the Giant Bomb logo on it.  What did Ryan say?  Was it a hearty "Thank you?" Nope.  It was a comment on "getting weird stuff in the mail!"  Geez...what a douche bag!!  "
Minus the insults, I have occassionally felt like they were being pretty rude to some of the people mailing stuff in. On the other hand, they're really just being theirselves and nine timees out of ten, that's what we want to see.

I think I'd only be interested in the straight jacket if it also came with my own Dave Snider & Ryan Davis asylum escape action figures. 
 
The Camera Obscura Shoemaker is sold separately however.
