What ever happened to them? Did they actually eat them all?
Ethan got body slammed into the box and crushed them, according to Jeff on his Formspring

Ryan's in a bit of a hurry to open stuff this week! :P


On another note, I've yet to see community members send in a sweet bowl to their favourite IGN/Gamespot editors. Must be a certain brand of crazy we get here... Which is awesome.

Clearly watching Ryan handle that knife tells me he never earned is Merit Badge in Pocket Knife Safety.  Every time I saw him pulling that knife towards him the little boy scout inside me started yelling, "No!"

Best for all if we let that one go through to the keeper.

The conductor whistle was my favorite part.  But the bowl was awesome, and now thanks to the other dude, they have candy to put in that bowl!  Booze and more booze for the live show!

I liked the question that alex had at the end about regretting that the whole mailbag thing started.  Man, if I had something cool to send, I would be at the post office when it opened to ship it off to you guys.  You guys are awesome and we love you! At least we know that Giantbomb shares with the rest, lol

is it just me, or is much of the GB staff's spare time spent drinking and eating free stuff that people have sent them?

People still send junk food and booze? Are people malicious or just really stupid?

This may be awfully european of me to ask, but are we trying to give the giantbomb crew some sort of multiple bypass by sending them all this booze and candy? I'm not one to point any fingers in the weight department, but I sure as hell take better care of myself foodwise than our beloved GB staff seems to. That said, for all I know the guys could all be serious foodies in their time off camera and just be naturally heavy set. Gosh, I hope they are.

I am so late to this, but JEEZ, I hate it when people pronounce Iran like that...

It irritates me to no end.

When Ryan opened that box from Afghanistan and then left his knife in the sea of candies within I kept getting images in my head of someone reaching in there, only to have it end VERY badly. Be more careful, Giant Bomb! We need you guys to have two working hands each!  :D
