Mailbag: Giant Bomb Mailbag: Dashboard Edition

Oh yeah. Take off that heatsink baby. Let's see what you got under there.

@meaninoflife42: Yeah, and it was rubbish. I remember there was a character called Whore. Or something.

As one of the eight people who remembers Project Horned Owl, I am happy I can publicly identify some of the others.

What's that Vita game on the desk?!!?!

Also, Unprofessional Friday is gonna be great.

The phrasing "Dear postal customer" makes me think either a customer that has gone postal or a customer who has purchased the game Postal.

So, I bought that knife Jeff has. I have yet to have a chance to really use it, but it does fit in a wallet as advertised. Also, it came sharp as hell.

Holy shit Reggie's "PLAY THE GAME" was based on Jeff's "DO THE JOB"

That box art for Fighting Angels is really good.

I am ready for Demolition Girl.

I hope they play some of those PS2 games shown at the end!

I like iStat Menus better.

I was going to send you one of those video switchers.

The hell happened to my package?, there was a lot more stuff in there!

Scrub league Teras Kasi!

Alex's video review for Robocop.

(Robo)Cop Knife

Hahahaha I bought Masters of Teras Kasi a couple of weeks ago.

Turok Evolution. Who wouldn't want to get rid of that?

I loved that game....

Quick question: Where do they play these games? Unprofessional Fridays? I kinda want to see Demolition Girl.

And does anyone else have the issue where the videos on this site play twice? Once the first viewing is finished, the video box has a grey screen and the audio replays. The stop/pause button will not work and the only way of stopping the audio is the close the window.

So....another person besides me actually bought it.

this

63 C? Do all macs run that hot? Considering my CPU idles at 30 C that seems a bit hot...

I'm Jakob from Denmark. Give me my coke.

I know some of them do. I once had a macbook and when that thing was on you couldn't apply it directly to the lap.

I totally have that switcher.

They'll most likely play it on UF- that's typically when they play the weird games they get from mailbags. The video issue is a known issue (at least, in the forums it is)- hopefully now that E3 has blown over they can fix the player ASAP.

Oh wow. He's acting so much like Nic Cage, it's uncanny.

@jeff this is the knife you got to get.... http://www.crkt.com/SnapLock ... for that box

I have that switcher as well, and I found it incredibly useful. Good times.

Holy shit, I was in the shower today thinkin of a bad games stream for charity where someone played Master of Teras Kasi and a bunch of other craptastic games.

Also, fuck yeah Gunman Chronicles.

All mailbags are awesome! Keep it up :)

Maybe i dont get it, but uh, what the fuck is the point of this?

Why do they make videos of opening packages of people sending shitty old games and unwanted stuff they'd otherwise probably throw away. The GB guys have to act all "oh this is cool" and you can tell from their tone "oh christ another trash bag.

I mean the subtitle and starting screen is of a completely unrelated like 5 second cut to brads monitor.

Fucking shit. Whatever I'm just annoyed i wasted 12 minutes watching this shit.

@darkbeatdk: Never thought I'd see a Kvickly bag in a Giant Bomb vid. :-p

Should have sent them Jolly Cola, though, or Cocio...

Well played.

Mm, Future Cop L.A.P.D. good stuff back in the day. I'd love to see someone do a downloadable remake of that game someday.

Yo I dare someone to tell me that Jeff doesn't love video games anymore

PLAY. THE. GAME.

The male/female symbols are PEGI's shorthand for Sexy Time Fun Video Games--or 'Sex', if you believe their website. Riho-chan got game!

EDIT: Oh, and the reason Coke and other sugary soft drinks as sold overseas tend to taste different from their US equivalents is likely something to do with most countries using cane sugar, rather than HFCS, as the sweetener. Though I suppose that wouldn't account for any differences in the Diet/Zero/Max versions.

Giantbomb: Thrift Shop Edition

I have to say that Coke does really taste better overseas. It may be that other things (alc) taste worse but Coke Zero is way better in China than i Europe.

What the fuck does "we're sorry for breaking your shit" mean?! Is there no liability?! Are they not responsible to carefully transport your shit from A to B?!

I've never encountered this and it's bizarre. What if it was something actually important? A fucking "I'm sorry" letter wouldn't cut it.

Post workers write in - tell me why you can fucking do this.

I would totally watch Patrick playing through the Blair Witch games. Or watch the second film. Whichever.

@ch3burashka: Holy crap guy, calm your pants. The world is not a perfect place. You are almost literally crying over spilt milk. If you're going to transport fragile objects over great distances, you're going to assume a certain level of risk of losing it. These are cars and planes, not space ships filled with angel feathers.

Not a postal worker, but if you're shipping something valuable, you can opt to pay for insurance and/or more expensive and safe shipping methods. It depends on what company you choose to ship with though.

i feel like watching them play demolition girl will be similar to watching them play mr mosquito

Fuck yeah future cop LAPD!!!

Jeff the raw dog Gerstmann at it again.

I played it not two weeks ago, its bad. so yes, it'd be great content! ;D

Wow, I have that exact same four input switcher

Oh man! I used to play Project Horned Owl at a local "cybercafe" called Cybersmith! I was little, so I just remember it being called Owl, but that's totally it! :D
