Mailbag

Mailbag: Giant Bomb Mailbag: Trashy Vinyl Edition

Just goes to show that one man's discarded records are another man's treasure.

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

I just came here to say how filled with delight i am to see Jeff in the thumbnail and how genuinely happy he is looking at the We want some pussy album single. its like the way a father would look at his new child.

True happiness.

I am a little disturbed that each bag of the Texas Trash is labeled for the Bomb Crew.

Jeff, I am disappointed by the size of that knife you are using. Giantbomb mail needs a Giantbomb knife. I think you need some kind of sturdy fixed blade with grooved ergonomic handle. 4" at least. Nail it to the wall. Put a sign over it that says MAILBAG KNIFE.

I just realized, who is using Ryan and Patrick's desk space now? Would be cool if Ryan's desk just became a shrine to him.

...I had precisely the same question.

How any of the members of Guns N Roses are still alive is just astounding. Brad was partially right, Duff McKagan's alcoholism got so bad that he fried his pancreas. He got internal 3rd degree burns from leaking enzymes as a result.

I'd never heard of SelectaVision before; according to Wikipedia the format non-branded was called Capacitance Electronic Disc. It was essentially a LP-film system.

Yeah, we had a Selectavision player when I was a kid. We had a pretty good number of discs for it; one of the Peanuts movies, a few concert recordings, some documentaries, and some regular-ass movies. I don't remember too much about it, but I remember the quality being fine (not much worse than VHS) and I remember the design of the cartridges themselves really vividly. Weird to think that they're almost completely forgotten just a couple decades later.

Yep. Same with Betamax I don't think anyone remembers that either.

@ejiehi: Honestly I think it would be hilarious just to mail them a box cutter in a box that requires a box cutter to open. FIGURE THAT SHIT OUT GERSTMAN!
