Mailbag: Giant Bomb Mailbag: Grab Bag Edition

AHHHH WHATS IN THE BOX

What I wouldn't give to have random people send me condiments and/or treats in the mail.

Cum-ree. Welsh isn't weird at all.

Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi,

Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri;

Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwladgarwyr tra mad,

Dros ryddid collasant eu gwaed.

(Chorus)

Gwlad, gwlad, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad.

Tra môr yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,

O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.

(Second stanza)

Hen Gymru fynyddig, paradwys y bardd,

Pob dyffryn, pob clogwyn, i'm golwg sydd hardd;

Trwy deimlad gwladgarol, mor swynol yw si

Ei nentydd, afonydd, i mi.

(Chorus)

(Third stanza)

Os treisiodd y gelyn fy ngwlad tan ei droed,

Mae hen iaith y Cymry mor fyw ag erioed,

Ni luddiwyd yr awen gan erchyll law brad,

Na thelyn berseiniol fy ngwlad.

See? Nothing at all like something used to summon Cthulhu.

Even though I love the original C64 Ghostbusters, the Master System version is my favourite, despite the music being GOD-FUCKING-AWFUL.

The town's big redeeming feature for the area, no charge for parking in the centre. That and it's better than being in friggin' Newport.

@funadog: The game arrives Tuesday. It makes sense that outlets would have copies by now, so I'm sure you'll see a Quick Look on Monday/Tuesday.

Mailbag!

DON'T EAT THOSE COOKIES! You don't know what else could be in 'em.

Nobody tell Brad there are steak-flavored Ruffles.

Lady in picture is very pretty. Much jealous of husband. ♥

"Cutting Toward Yourself with Jeff Gerstmann"

Irn Bru!

MORE E3 MYSTERIES

Shit, Space Raiders. I always used to buy a pack of them before school for 10p.

E3MYSTERIES... RETURN.

Haha thank you. Let's just say they've earned a lifetime Premium Member in me.

I had addressed the package to "Giant Bomb" but last minute decided that was a bad choice and wrote in Jeff's name instead.

Also, apparently the leek is the Welsh National Vegetable, and Cymru (kum-ree) is Welsh for "Wales".

Did somebody just empty several children's lunchboxes into a box and send it to you?

The mystery box is what I'm most hyped for this E3.

I liked this.

I don't know how this is a mystery. It's obvious the new hiree is in the box. Gonna assume he looks like this

Also, this

Mr. Bones

Did you just have a stroke?

I was just browsing the Mr. Bones page last week!

here's some gameplay of it from the game informer guys and not just some random let's player if you're interested i'm interested

It's like someone taught them the alphabet all wrong as a joke.

Aw yeah choo choo

Aw yissssss! Motha fuckin space raiders!
literally the single most british thing you could send to giant bomb in a mailbag.

@peanutbuttersadness: Awesome work!

I can't WAIT for e3

DAT E3 TEASE THOUGH!!!

Another E3 mystery. I'm on i.... nah I give up.

That crochet bomb was great. Really nice quality. Definitely captured the likeness. Can't wait for E3 as well. Always love listening to the after hours E3 chats you guys have with friends and developers. Hope things go smoother for you this year.

Maybe the guys got one of those office robots they've been talking about on Idle Thumbs.

Jeff holding a knife really makes me uneasy!

Frazzles aren't particularly pleasant.

Vinny's face at the end there though.....

The only reason Jim Ross was out of WWE was because of that story arc where he was hit by a car and they did a 6 week tournament to find the man who struck him.

@freshbandito: GLC has a song about Cwmbran, that's probably where Jeff heard it.

EDIT: its already been pointed out, never mind.

I am all for a Giant Bomb plushie!!!

@wrighteous86: Wow man, Jeff immediately recognized you two when he saw the pictures, which means your tale of love has even reached the men at the top. You're practically internet famous at this point!

Also, I'm expecting whatever the E3 Mystery Box is to probably involve stupid shenanigans on their nightly live-streams.

That crocheted bomb was really well done.

This might be one of the most random-ass mailbags ever.

Those pillows are pretty great.

Ugh, I don't care about what I can see... JUST WHAT I CAN'T!

Lovely crocheting by the way.

With the game coming out on tuesday, I'd be more surprised if they didn't already have a copy of it.

Fun video!

Yo Jeff, let me get that Day-Z knife. I know I've played 118 more hours of it than you have.

Sweet Chilli Llamas is my new band name

@bboymaestro: it's not Jeff you'll have to battle, I hear "Dat OG Loc" Dr. Tracksuit has the flyest moves out there. I read somewhere he was supposed to star in Breakin' 2 but his "demons" kept him out of the movie. Which is why we got the craptacular that ended up coming out

@somekindarobot: I'm so down for that. Dr. Tracksuit is a biter, son! His whole crew is biters! He may have moves in the ring, but on the concrete and cardboard? Get the fuck out of here, I'd smoke that fool!

To the mystery van!

What's in the box!?
