Mailbag: Giant Bomb Mailbag: TI4 Edition

For the next two weeks, Dota is going to be our huckleberry. Sorry.

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

Hearing Jeff try (and fail) to pronounce the names of Swedish candy is the best. Somebody get that man some polkagrisar and salta patroner.

Dota!

Quick reminder that they're running a stream for people new to Dota 2, and it's been great so far.

In other news, I'm pretty hyped for EVO as well. And weird Swedish candy.

As a Dane I gotta say it's pretty great to hear Jeff "speak" swedish. Also as much as the guys hate liquorice, except for Dan, I wonder if they would like sweet liquorice like Pande lakrids or Finsk lakrids as it's called in Denmark.

I don't mind liquorice, that is to say I'm not the biggest fan though I definitely eat it from time to time, but I really like sweet liquorice.

I don't get why people have to be such jerks about Dota. People have different tastes in games than you just like music or anything else, get over it, get over yourselves. Anyways, so much content since the new guys came in and Dan has been really great, Giantbomb's future looking promising again.

When Jeff tried to talk in Swedish he sounded like a klingon. Or maybe that's just what Swedish sounds like, I don't know.

I love hearing Jeff speak swedish. Reminds me of Magicka and Krater. I can only hope we some day get a whole three-hour long video thing of Jeff reading swedish stuff out loud.

Kinda disappointed that Swede didn't send in one of those new Marabou Caramel bars, because they're really good.

Glögg is mulled wine. Served warm.

Should be noted "warm" doesn't just mean room temperature warm, but actually cooked and sometimes served along with some raisins and almond.

Also, julmust is a pretty disgusting non-alcoholic beer with lots and lots of sugar mixed into it.

@sgtsphynx: Dan is using Patrick old desk. Jason, I believe, is using Sara's old desk. And Drew moved to Vinny's old desk.

Valve can make things that look really vibrant and full of colour if they set their mind to it. I'll never understand why the only shades in dota are green, greenish red, greenish orange and blue. It's like watching a game through a dirty aquarium.

As soon as this video started I thought "I should send Dan some Djunglevrål to welcome him to the team". I'm happy to see another duder beat me to the punch!

All I know about Trocadero is Robbaz loves that shit. To the point where he expressed surprise and grief when he learned that other countries don't have it.

I think it's an apple soda?
