Mailbag: Giant Bomb Mailbag: Barrel of Fun Edition

Professor Layton, Aussie energy drinks, Metro City mixtapes, and photobombs galore!

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

The thumbnail for this video is fantastic. It nearly matches the might of the Liverpool video thumbnail.

Brad's photobomb was epic.
 
Also, that press kit was awesome. Cassette tape? I wish they would sell that to the rest of us...

Whoever sent the Professor Layton should have also included a box of wooden matches.

There was a Ninja vs Bear pin in the barrel as well, so that was the Magic Sword Swag.

Wow, those are some dented looking cans. I'd be worried they'd have ruptured on the flight over. 
Also, you should have sent that awful 'Wicked' drink too, with that awkward looking dragon on the can.

Mother is the most 'bogan' drink in Australia.
 
And a bogan is basically an Australian version of a white trash douchebag.

It was even better than a photobomb. It was the moment of pop-in that was just incredible, especially the way Jeff was doing the high-energy "Hulk-smash" look. Brad reminded me of a frightened gofer popping its head out of a hole in the ground to see what the scary sound was.

I'm willing to wager mucho dollars that the curry place you're talking about is CurryHouse CoCo Ichibanya.   
  
Their motto is "Good Smell, Good Curry."  The sign is yellow, with both english and katakana on it.  They have English menus available and they list spicy levels from 1-10, as well as the price for any "mix-ins"  you might want for your curry.

I second that.  First place that came to mind.  CoCo Ichis are everywhere, so there's a good chance this is it.
 Now I know what I want for lunch..

Some fucker took my idea to send them some V! Dammit, Loki! And Samedi is disgusting - it tastes like a can of syrupy ash. Ugh.
 
I'm still gonna send them all 4 flavours of V at some point, though (the sugar free variety can go get effed).

Samedi?  Isn't that French for Saturday? 
 
If it is, its not pronounced Sam-eh-dee, I'm pretty sure it'd be pronounced Sam-dee.  Meh, whateves.  The name's not the important part, it's that phat hat the skull's rockin'. 
 
P.S.  I agree with Loki
