Mailbag: Giant Bomb Mailbag: Dark Knight Fizzes Edition

It's not who I am underneath, but what I drink, that defines me.

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

Jeff hasn't watch the batman movies now? I really would like to know how many movies he hasn't watched. Also I'd like to think Ryan double fisted those drinks down and then drove home in the batmobile dressed as batman like a boss.

It's impossible to look cool while driving dunk. Anyone that thinks it's a good idea to drive drunk is scum and a waste of a human being.

so in this fantasy that ryan is dressed in a batman suit and has a batmobile drinking 2 batman dews with very little vodka in it doesn't have time to sober up and then drive home? move along.

Looks like Pitch Black, same color and oddly bright blue fizz. PB narrowing out LiveWire as the best flavored Dew bodes well for this despite their opinions.Thankfully this post encompasses the extent of my Dew Knowledge and Opinions.

Either you're claiming the opposite of the majority opinion because you're a hipster, or you're claiming the opposite of the truth to be a troll. I leave it to the individual to decide which is worse.

In most cases, yes, but Science has proven that it is physically impossible for a Human to not like The Dark Knight. The results were fascinating. Astounding, really.

@NekuCTR: You haven't seen any of Batman movies? The one you should avoid is the Joel Schumacher ones. The Tim Burton ones are okay. The Christopher Nolan ones are the best.

I have found that when most people try THAT hard to not like something, it's because they're trying to make a point, instead of simply stating their opinion.

@jerseyscum: agree totally. I cringed when he went to open it and put it in a mixed drink.

Also, totally missed some type of James Bond reference when stirring with that pen.

Indeed, you're actually an advanced computer program designed to think it's a Human gamer, to help scientists better understand videogame culture, but to be fair, you're a really well-made program, apart from this one flaw, it'd be impossible to tell the difference between you and a Human.
