Mailbag: Giant Bomb Mailbag: Hobby Grade Edition

Break out the floppy drives, it's time for Capri Booze, forehead stamps, and METAL.

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

I laughed more than I should've when I saw Jeff file away that Sneak King box. Something about how familiar it was, almost like he'll soon just have an entire bookshelf of Sneak King.

The guy who sent in that big old sign? He seems like a really great duder from his vids.

If the guy who sent the Kul wants to send me some New Glarus, I'll gladly take it. They make amazing beer.

I've always thought about sending some good WI brews in to the GB crew, but have never gotten around to it. Maybe soon. Would love to send them some of my favorites. Especially the legendary Spotted Cow, that is not sold outside of WI. Good beer is pricey to purchase and ship though.

That sign may be the sickest thing they've ever gotten.

And, dude, we've lost half of Jeff. Dude's wasting away. He needs to start eating more Mailbag fare.

I know you're kidding but making fun of someones weight loss efforts is kinda not cool, especially when they should be commended for it and encouraged to keep going.

Btw I really hope I'm not coming off as too butthurt/triggered here, because I personally dislike easily offended people a lot.

Spotted Cow is amazing. Had some last fall when my brother brought some back from Wisconsin.

The cause of Dan's issues.

Don't mean to be insensitive but is this why Dan shaved his head?

I had a cyst taken off my head a few years ago but it was a few inches further north, where I was going bald so didn't have to shave anything.

Yeah, I might have misread the tone of his joke a bit now that I think about it.

I often spend these videos wondering about the people in the background you never really see. Who are they? Is that all GB staff in that room? Are they the shameful losers of the gang forever banished to the shadows while the cool dudes do cool stuff?

Guess we'll never know.

Gorgeous logo sign. That guy spent some serious time and effort on it. The YouTube making of is really awesome btw. I really hope they find a very front-and-center location to mount that bad boy.

Hobby Grayedd with 2 D's for a double dose of market research bullshit.

Also. Look into "Wall Toggles" for hanging the rad sign.

@d4rksh33p: Yup, born and raised in Madison. Good call. I don't get out to Milwaukee much, so I don't know the good breweries over there. I have gone to the Great Lakes Distillery, though....so there's that.

Controversial opinion of an ex-Wisconsinite: Spotted Cow is overrated. It's good, but it isn't the legendary ambrosia people make it out to be.

Capital Amber on the other hand, is about the only thing I really miss from Wisconsin, now that some morons insisted on ruining the Wisconsin Union (seriously, fuck whoever is in charge of that project). That, and Brennan's 5-year cheddar.
