It still smells like dead haddock in here.

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

There's so much god damn content pumping through the veins of GB. And pizza, probably, but mostly content! ONES AND ZEROES!

I wonder if any of the GB staff have had deer jerky before? It's so good if prepared well, and especially spicy.

I bet Drew has. He seems like the type of duder who hunts or has venison connections.

It's super good. My grandpa used to give me like ten-pound packages of it all the time.

The lack of "Awestriker" in other videos depresses me. This one, however, is great!

I think it's that Xbox Live Indie Game Danny showed the guys during that charity stream.

Dan is sure to get back problems on GiantBomb. Every time I've seen him play video games on cam he's always hunched over. :(

Edit: It also looks like Jeff was browsing the SomethingAwful forums.

Ok, so I think the best way to have "watch Dan eat stuff" videos is to just send shit in for Dan to eat!

I am not yet convinced that @danryckert is a company man. I think I need to see him eating Hockey Pulver to be sure.

I like how Jeff just goes full in, takes a large piece of whatever it is and just shoves the whole thing in his mouth. It could be disgusting. What a brave man.

The smaller package was "Mild" beef jerky, and the large one was original. Glad they liked it!

That slogan still makes me laugh.

Hey Jeff,

where's the beef?

@drewbert has become my favorite duder. The dry humor and sly one-liners are fantastic.

@danryckert "It says salt on it! It's like they're not even trying to hide it!"

The weird thing is that they aren't trying to hide it at all. Salty candy is a feature in....wherever the candy is from.

Hang on, I thought most of the worst trolls came from Something Awful? What with GB's anti troll message lately (which I heartily agree with) I'm surprised to see him on there.
