Mailbag: Giant Bomb Mailbag: Grab Bag Edition

Giant Bomb - Teaches you everything you need to know about the world

Were are we going next?

Goddammit! Now i really wanna know WHAT THA FUCK IS IN THAT BOX?!?!?!

Giantbomb, you teasing cunts. :)

Bad food is the best food.

And what's in the mystery box? The new employee? Is his name Jack?

...

It has to be a Saints Row thing right? Or maybe Sunset Overdrive?

@bumheadducky: didnt they say whatever it was came from amazon? if so than its probably nothing to do with anything unreleased.

@wrighteous86: Congrats duder! :D

Love seeing more mailbags

@orlandodoom: I flinch every time he does that. But at this point the knife seems so shitty that he might just shatter it on contact. Either that or CBS will have to baby-proof the GB offices.

Sorry to be pedantic, but my rudimentary knowledge of Russian tells me that is dried squid, not octopus.

I'd like to taste Vinny's America.

Physical mail WHAT?

Edit: Now I have to know:

Wait.... do American's not have meat flavored crisps?

Mailbag! ThankyoU!

It's a life sized version of the dildo bat, right?

Hey, congrats to the duders who got engaged, that's awesome!

Can't wait to find out what that mystery thing is! Excitement!

Dried Squid Rings, yeah. I only know that because the British translation was in small print on the back. We picked them up from a shady Russian import market near our train station in Naples. Meh, they were close enough. I'm surprised they tried them.

We have just started getting them (specifically steak and BLT I think, and chicken-and-waffles for a limited time only), but it's not really common. They are really rare and not very popular. It's much more common in the UK it seems, where you guys have bacon, roast beef, roast chicken, steak, etc. The US chips tend to be more cheese, bbq, onion, etc. Meat-flavored crisps really kind of freak me out.

Thanks, man!

Yeah, the Giant Bomb guys have been aware of DuskVamp and I for a while. They've kind of intersected our lives/relationship since the very beginning. I'll probably be writing a blog showing how involved they've been with us sometime today. Keep an eye out, especially if you want to hear Drew, Dave, and Vinny sing.

Sweet Chili Lama is a great username.

Also, GB should sell that bomb as merchandise.

OMG I forgot Frazzles they make your pee smell weird!!! God I miss home (England)

Man, Frazzles are so fucking great.

What's Vinny and Drew doing? What's in the box? WHAT'S IN THE BOX!?

Yeah @wrighteous86 and @duskvamp, Frazzles! Don't think I've had those for about 10 years.

Mailbag? Mailbag!

Can someone CSI the secret through a monitor reflection or something? Better yet, an uncensored version of this video closer to E3 for all the Vinny shenanigans.

@behardy:

For Unprofessional Fridays maybe. I hope so, I have a lot of nostalgia for that game. I'm sure it doesn't hold up though.

"Tastes like Beggin' Strips." - Drew Scanlon, 2014

The plush bomb was the highlight. Really well done.

I was thinking the mystery item was either a costume/setpiece for E3 videos or a piece of equipment (like a camera, as others mentioned). I don't think something related to an unannounced game would get that kind of reaction, barring maybe Saints Row.

Or, uh, Windjammers.

...this is why I'm glad it's generally ignored when readers of the site try to have gimmicks.

Hey, Drew. You're alright. Old Man's War is a pretty good bool.

I need to know what Vinny and Drew got in the mail. I NEED TO KNOW. Can E3 be now? I am so excited to see what they have come up with for this year.

@droop: I would totally buy a little plushie Giant Bomb. So in.

Did not realized how much I missed these Mailbags.

@freshbandito: Cheaper end is putting it lightly!

@kanerobot: It's less a gimmick, and more a direct quote from the classic film "Beat Street"

IRN BRU TASTES LIKE BUBBLE GUM!

Love the POV biscuit eating. Sexy!

Love Mailbag.

What's in the box!

Man, @brad's laugh is the best.

I'm guessing the new giantbomb member arrived in a box.

Oh man, you guys are the WORST at teasing! Can't wait for E3

Also kudos to the guy who sent the cookies from Mission Viejo! My neck of the woods! It's down in Orange County if you guys were wondering

Not opening those pickled onion Space Raiders? Big mistake!! Taste of the 80s UK.

That crochet bomb is pretty sweet.

I guess you have to go to Italy to find out what America taste like.

I wish those photos depicted me and Drew getting married instead of wrighteous and dusk.

@fattony12000: Dare 2 dream.

@wrighteous86: Man I wouldn't be able to live without BBQ Hula Hoops

Just tell me what's in the E3 box...(That's my best Brad Pitt)

Can't wait for E3?

Can't wait for E3?

The game is coming out soon. But no, I didn't notice that.
