Mailbag: Giant Bomb Mailbag: Not Linda Carter Edition

What appears to be Just a Box begets danger food, handhelds, inflatables, and the gateway to the Internet.

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

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

I was thinking that as well. Seemed very natural to him. The slice and the roll off the arm to the floor.

I have to imagine Customs officials who are not MGS fans might be slightly worried by a box that says "Just a box" on the side.

as soon as Jeff said the universal remote "can't possibly work" and started jamming on the buttons a car alarm went off.

Is it sad for me to admit that this is one of the best days of my life? I'm finally part of the mailbag, Dan says I've got my shit together and Jason appreciates my power adapter cable tying technique. Cool!

Being filled with Dan's breath and then unceremoniously gutted like a pig is as dishonorable as deaths get. Great mailbag.

@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.

I really enjoyed his more recent Dragon Age: Inquisition "long look", but his Elder Scrolls escapades will always be my absolute favourites. I might have to go back and re-watch that Skyrim one again at some point in the near future...

I got your Masi Oka goof, @drewbert.

I don't even like Boondock Saints, for many of the reasons Dan lists, and Dan still infuriates me with his attitudes and opinions. Just....aargh! I have a TV/Radio Production degree and that doesn't allow me to say things are objectively this or that.

Jesus, Dan, at least run some water on that mouthpiece before blowing into it. I don't know anyone else who'd pick up a giant inflatable Pepsi can from a box that's been who knows where and just instantly put their mouth on it...

Is Dan trying to say pralines at the start of this video? Have I been pronouncing it wrong all these years? Maybe it's just "pray"-"leans" in the south.

EDIT: I've informally polled other moderators, and pray-lean definitely seems to be the predominant American pronunciation. Praw-lean may technically be the older original pronunciation, but it's not what most people say.

I love when people send them garbage. It makes me want to empty a drawer into a box and mail it to them.

I miss Blizzard manuals that were 100s of pages.

Definitely some of the most fantastic content I've seen on GB (though there has been a lot of great stuff lately).

Please consider some more live impromptu 40m video things(tm). Great work on the cam drew.

That whole film degree was an obvious joke. It says more about you than him if you thought he was serious.
