Mailbag

Mailbag: Giant Bomb Mailbag: Get Lei'd!

Two tickets to paradise, baby!

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

Every game site gets swag like this- it's one of the shadier sides of the business, but it often gets given away to fans, or just shuffled off into oblivion. Every now and then, however, something fantastic like this comes along and it's all worthwhile.

You guys get a lot of cool stuff sent to you for free. Any chance you would ever have some sort of give away for some of these things on the Bombcast?

I could really use some fabric shower liner.

Oh come on.

Really.

Jeff, Ryan and Co. have all been doing this long enough that getting some trinket with a game logo on it isn't gonna make them go all starry eyed and awestruck.

They review games. Companies send them games for review. Some publishers decide to pack in stuff with the games they send. That's just how it works. It's been that way for years and pretty much ALL outlets who get sent games for review get the same stuff. It's not like it's some plot to butter up Giant Bomb.

Activision are sending you shower curtains, and that's the fifth one you've got? Someone at Activision must be branching out of games and into the bathrooms industry.

Sadly, the Space Harrier ringtone is more exciting than Wii Sports Resort.

So it's Space Harrier. I thought I recognized the tone. I've played Space Harrier in the arcade (in Shenmue not a real life arcade =P)

Question though - Do u need four Motion Pluses for a 4 player game?
Most likely. The whole game is centered around Wii Motion Plus, so I imagine having one for each remote is necessary for multiplayer.

Considering how terrible regular wiimotes are, you can probably play without it but you will get your ass handed to you because its not 1:1

Also.. You goy lei'd, and a ticket to woohoo island? Sign me up.
