Mailbag: Giant Bomb Mailbag: Grab Bag Edition

We celebrate wrestling victuals, fine crocheting, and young love!

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

All beef jerky are belts with mild bullshit seasoning.

Space Raiders and Frazzles were included in my after school assault on my body.

And mentioning a box and then refusing to reveal the contents of the box but continuing to acknowledge the box...C'MON BRAD!

I used to have a fear of knives, and it still creeps back a little when I see Jeff cutting towards himself.

Man, you guys'll put anything people send you in a box inside your bodies. That's brave.

EDIT: Oh! Pretty sure I had that Tronky stuff the last time I was in Hungary / Eastern Europe.

I'm tempted to send Jeff a real pocket knife. I keep expected that DayZ knife to collapse and cut his hand.

@wrighteous86: Did you two actually meet off here?

True story. I wrote about it in this thread. It's weird being able to go back and see the forum thread we first participated in together, and the photoshop contest I threw that she entered, and see how those threads wove together and started the discussions that lead to our relationship. Also, mutual love of Vinny.

That DayZ knife REALLY looks like a home-made shank, in a "I ground this piece of scrap metal against my metal bed frame until it got all murder-y" sort of way.

Your crochet work looked fantastic! Great job on the GB logo & "Mom's Best Breakdancer," is hilarious.

I can't believe they eat about anything that's sent in. If it was me any food sent would go straight to the trash, sealed or not. Brad is killing me with the secrets.

I always preferred Transform-A-Snacks to Space Raiders, personally.

Really nice gesture with baking them cookies, they might look more appetising in some proper wrapping.

Mailbags need to be longer. They should set a camera up for a day so people can watch them work.
A Vinny camera? Call it CCV-Closed Circut Vinny.
I trademark CCV. Can I trademark Vinny T.V.? Im giving it away cause Im to lazy to do anything with it.
Someone get on CCV. I own ten percent because you live in my house.
Especially with Vinny leaving something to document his last days in S.F.

Everyone's worried about Vinny leaving being the end of giantbomb, when it's clear the end will come when Jeff accidentally stabs himself in the chest opening a box towards himself.

@johnymyko: 4 years later, probably the cardboard standees from the E3 set that year.
