Mailbag: Giant Bomb Mailbag: Meat & Murder Edition

Waste of food and a waste of time? What a fucking stupid pack. I'm glad they didn't care about it and went into that MK video.

Why do companies waste their marketing money on such stupid stuff? Ugh.

Dude weirdest marketing thing with that meat for bulletstorm. Come on, why do you have to stick some dog tags and a usb key in fucking meat. Jeez.

Dry ice & bombcast = fog machine party. Wondering if it's safe for someplace called Giant Bomb to throw away bullet casings, might get the neighbors suspicious. Got to love the surreal marketing stuff from Bulletstorm taking plenty of hints from the Dante's Inferno marketing team.

That was delightful.

I'm so glad to see these Mailbag videos back. They're one of my favourite features on this site. :)

I really dont like it when pr sends this kind of things and then asks for favors from the journalists.

God Jeff you are such a wussy. Don't you ever barbecue? I mean come on!

Most curse words in a mailbag video? Jeff was rolling them out.  
 
It was an interesting idea for a "gift." I would not have thrown away the bullets and casings though. More mailbag!

Haha! Jeff you are such a pussy!

Exactly what I was thinking. "

Wow Matt Kessler sure dodged a bullet there, geddit!

im getting a weird blairwitch project vibe from the videotaped conversation, don't know why

Secret Character Unlock:Black Dynamite!

the new mk looks crazy

Yep, lol. "

That bad raw meat put Jeff in a foul mood he was dropping a lot of F bombs. Though I would be pissed too if someone sent me some spoiled raw meat in the mail.

 Live action bombcast.
 
Kinda works. 

I love marketing! LOL

CONGRATS JEFF, NOW YOU HAVE THE AIDS!

This is the type of meat you put on the barbecue grill? "

I really liked MK vs DC, I think that direction for the series was pretty solid. Which is probably why I'm pretty uneasy about the way this trailer looks. It's either gonna be really really good or god damn terrible. 
 
If Ed Boon says its good then I guess I'm all for it. Will he be involved in whatever this is?

When Giant Bomb gets mail, everyone wins. What the fuck @ putting that stuff in meat, though. Seems kind of lame.

Dude, that Beef shit was bananas.. LMAO.. but more importantly, the MK discussion was pretty cool... 

cannot be a trailer for a movie, they would not show a decapitated body in a trailer

yay the bombcast are swearing again just like the ole days

I just had a thought watching this video. What if Mortal Kombat 9 went back to digitized live action characters? How far has that technology even advanced?
 
It would be nuts but at the same time, probably pretty horrible.

FUCKING FUCK FUCK 

Dude, if I got ground meat that had dog tags with my fuckin name on it, I'd call that a threat to my life.

Wow, Bulletstorm looks pretty good IMO, but that press package was eff'in dumb.
 
"People Can Fly" need to fire their marketing department from what I've seen so far.

lol at Jeff raging.

Woo! Two mailbags in two days : D

jeff is so angry

ugh, that is disgusting

a serious case of WTF this time round.

i wanted to be an intern >:3

That was the craziest (and most disgusting) promotional game package I've seen. I'm with Ryan on the MK video, it's probably for the game, hopefully it brings the series back to its roots.

"  Live action bombcast.   Kinda works.  "

Many bothans died to bring us this marketing acid trip.

Gross, dude.
 
edit: Aww shit, Jacks   on Briggs. Phoenix Down.

Oh man some poor dumb animal is going to decide to go in that dumpster... or hobo... Poor garbage dude....  I just hope no raccoon (or whatever you have in Californian) decides to eat that...  

If I was working in the marketing department of Epic/People Can Fly, this is precicesly the sort of thing I would do.  Apart from the whole "vote for best original game" bollocks at the end of the trailer.  Strikes me as unproffessional and groveling.  Then again, I guess anyone with a new IP at E3 this year will be doing the same thing.
 
I'm not too fussed about a new MK, though.  I always liked the totally immature appeal that the MK roster has to it, but I've never enjoyed playing the games.  Hopefully we'll see some gameplay at E3.
