Mailbag: Giant Bomb Mailbag: Spring Cleaned Edition

Daaaaaang. Nice kicks.

Those shoes are incredible. One of the greatest things to be in a mailbag ever.

Do not drink from that shell!

Isn't Dave on Paternal Leave right now? Or am I making that up? I don't think I could watch Flight Club without him. It wouldn't be the same. They should wait till he comes back to play all those games. Plus, awesome shoes!

Beyond the Black Rainbow is not great.

It's exponentially better though if you consider it as a part of the Twin Peaks universe.

Best job or the best job?

That A10 shell is pretty badass.

Great content, I wish Ryan would take a step back or two when filming, can't see anything and the camera moves way too much..

All those Jane's Combat Simulations classics! I bet some of them are really hard to get working on modern machines. IAF and Fleet Commander were pretty much the last ones, and that's around 98-99. I think Longbow and F-15 require Windows 95 and 3DFX cards to run. Not that I would say no to free or cheap copies though.

These are the best mailbags. Dudes making cool shit for the guys and a lot of close-ups of Vinny's butt and crotch.

Is that a Skid Row Poster? Representing Sebastian Bach.

Fantastic.

I should not have watched this late at night. Now I am going to have clown Ryan related nightmares.

Those were some badass kicks. Great job, duders!

Welcome to the office, Dr Bub Snikt.

I wish I had painted and sent those Nikes. It was some other Nicholas.

WEAR THE SHOES TO E3!!!!!!

I know it exists and I'm from BC. You, sir, have little confidence in your compatriots. It's ok, I forgive you.

The look of joy on Drews face, I don't think a man could be happier.

Who the hell gave away a copy of Full Throttle?!

Neither. The Correct answer is BEST JOB!!!

Those Nike Air Force 1's were crazy. Really good job on them. Vinny and Drew are all sorts of cool.

Also, gotta love that shell that Drew got. Pretty awesome stuff. I wonder how long will we have to wait until someone sends in a fully functional maidbot.

Great mailbag guys. Those shoes are mad dope. And very Jeff.

Ryan to Vinny: "You called me over here for a reason", then Vinny pretends to unbutton his fly. You have got to love Vinny

oh man, please do clear the schedule for a flight club marathon, that would be so good..

Some pretty cool stuff there. Nice to see users sending neat, usable stuff that isn't just stupid candy and drinks that are probably just going to go to waste. The shoes were pretty cool but I agree with Ryan that they should just be used as decoration.

If Vinny was any dirtier he would be a pornstar :D Amazing mailbag or MFFFFRABAG, I havn't laughed that hard in at least a week.

Also, Brad sticking his head up just above a monitor is perhaps the most iconic thing of all of Giantbomb!

OH MAN RISE OF NATIONS MY BOX FOR THAT IS SITTING RIGHT BY MY DESK. I was so pumped for that game, coming off of years playing AoE, but I never could get into it. The sequel, Rise of Legends, looked absurdly awesome, but I never picked it up.

You should go play it some more! Its a great game!

That "switcher" looks like a good way to get yourself electrocuted.

Woah, I like that mannequin staring out the window!

How appropriate! Also... badass!

Those shoes are Jeff's destiny.

I had the same thought as Vinny when I saw the empty shell... "I would totally use that as a shot glass".

Wear the shoes to E3 Jeff, wear the shoes, only you can truly pull them off.

20 seconds in..... Vinny makes me burst out laughing, that guy is hilarious

@drewbert You really should install some mods for Bridge Commander, they had some kickass ones that added Star Wars ships so you could have the Federation go up against Star Destroyers and Super Star Destroyers. I remember having so much fun with that.

What was that movie poster with Alex's face on it? Was that photoshoped or was Alex actually in a movie?

Vinny is just a treasure.

THOSE SHOES ARE THE HUNK

I love that Vinny still reacts with the appropriate gratitude towards these things.

Canada doing the best work by getting rid of useless, worthless coins. Would that America would have half that much sense.

(Pennies are the second worst thing. Nickels are the only thing that can work them over in terms of useless bullshitness. Like 9 cents to make a nickel. Fuck those things).

Also, those shoes are goddamn amazing!

Amazing mailbag, some incredible effort went into that stuff. Real deal! :D

Of course he was, he's in the alternate cut of the Beyond the Black Rainbow.

There should be a reward for the first person out in the wild of San Francisco to snag a picture of Jeff wearing those shoes out and about.

The name on the patch was 'Seymour Johnson'. Great mail bag, Vinny always seems to genuinely grateful.

Time to have Clown Davis nightmares

yep, those shoes are totally Jeff's

@sarumarine: Just the driving, and inspecting them to ensure they were safe for transportation (no loose parts or loose rounds that could fall out during transportation).
