Mailbag: Giant Bomb Mailbag: Not Linda Carter Edition

I love a good mailbag!

Could it be TOO much mailbag?

Dan with a knife must make for a worrisome working environment.

40 Minutes of mailbaggery?! My goodness!

That's some pristine stuff Andrew. Damn.

One long mailbag!

The dude bought that Game & Watch in 1982 and it looks brand new!

You know how Dan does that thing where when he disagrees with anything, he just flat out says its wrong and stupid? Well Dan, the tables have finally turned, because your horrible pronunciation of praline is both wrong and stupid. And you call yourself an American! Pfffffffft. You might as well go eat a baguette with some stinky cheese and a turtleneck. Replace that ZZ Top shirt with an Air shirt!

DJ Hero was a fucking great game that got buried by Activision overexposing Guitar Hero. People were burned out on music games by then.

Wow these guys had another coworker at Gamespot who wrote and published a Starcraft guide? Bob Colayco did the same thing didn't he?

Pro Drew Camera™ confirmed.

I agree, Dans knife technique scares me. Waiting to hear about another trip to the hospital.

Go to New Orleans and pronounce it "pray-lean" and see what people say.

Just

A

Box

?

it really shows that is Drew behind the camera, such a pro.

I would totally buy a book written by Jeff. Get to it!

Got some serious moose knuckle at the end there.

Hey @jeff.. How much you want for that sealed FF11 HDD kit..?

40 minutes UNBOXING video! I didn't think GB could sink any lower. The glory days of actual playing games is over. Remember when the bombcast was COOL?? Now it's just a bunch of guys talking! I wish they'd hire someone more professional who knows the difference between Mario and Sonic. Someone who CARES about games. All they do is eat candy and talk shit about governors. With guys like these around....good luck America!!

Why do I get the feeling that's not the first time Dan has used a knife like that?

Dan spending half the video blowing up a giant inflatable pepsi can is totally hilarious to me.

Dan with that stealth kill had me cracking up. Someone tell that new guy @drewbert that you're supposed to shoot the ceiling at the end of a GB video.

Best part of this video is Jason getting excited for Adam's AC adapter "loop" cord wrapping method.

Ok the REAL best part of this video is Jason saying "Lisa what is Mr. Bunnyworth doing here?!" When talking about his wife smuggling in stuffed animals when moving.

FUCK G-LOC. Oh man that game beat the shit out of me when I had my gamegear. Memory still haunts me.

"Caution to the wind, I'm putting my mouth on this."

I'm super jealous about that After Dark CD-ROM.

That is an HD Remake I'd be all over. Every After Dark module, spinoff, and game in one modern-PC-friendly wrapper. If there's one thing I love as much as big box PC games, it's old screensavers, and a lot of them simply don't play nice with modern machines.

Not even joking, I'd pay a full $60 for a definitive After Dark collection on Steam or something.

I would love to send these guys an Acorn PC with Starfighter 3000, to show these people the best game of all time. Since the 3DO version was largely the same and made by the same developer, it would probably be easier to send that.

Shame the PS/Saturn/PC version were from a different developer on a different engine and so everyone thinks that game is crap now.

The snacks in that box must be regional to PA. Those pies are like 55 cents and are tasty!

I am not sure whether to be proud or ashamed to admit I know this without Googling, but Greg Evigan is best known to me as one of the dads from "My Two Dads".

Boy, I played me some Dragon Crystal.

Game GEAR?

Game boy is for dogs lmao jeff

Ya know what, the realist of the real best part is Jeff's "Less talk more blow" zinger. Goodnight Cleveland!

That poor can.

@foeaminute: I think you'll find that Greg Evigan is in fact best known for "When Things Get Knocked Over, Spill or Fall Out of Cupboards". I never thought I'd hear him mentioned in any other context.

Bomb After Reading: Tekwar. Eh? Eh?

FORTY MINUTES!!!!???

I didn't know there was a Skyrim marathon. Awesome!

My mailbag arrived!!!

@iamdanthemanstan: Greg Kasavin doing his thing with that Skyrim marathon. I hope he's able to do it for whenever the next The Elder Scrolls game comes out.

DAN YOU MURDER! That Pepsi can had so much to live for!!!

You guys remember when games had manuals and cheat codes? good times...

The eyebrow raise after he said totally made that sentence, haha.

Strange serendipity, but Greg Evigan was actually on the TekWar live action series. Thought one of the guys might pull that out of nowhere when they both came up at the same time.

Dan's delight at the inflatable Pepsi can :D

Why don't they ever bring back or remake good shows, like BJ and the Bear? Now there's a concept I can't get enough of - a man and his monkey.

So much mailbag. Yay!
