Spring Cleaning 2015

I can't believe they archived this. This website is the best!

It might be easier if at the end of each day you just take the boxes to the trash that you opened.

Admittedly less fun and less videos would occur though :)

It's funny, when the last Mailbag video went live I couldn't help but think "Man, they have so much stuff, they really need to clean it out".

Having experience with coming to a workplace with no time set aside for just that I realized how hard it is to get it going when there is other work to be done. "They should stream it, make it technically content to better justify the time put in"...I guess I wasn't the only one thinking that : D

Two hours of this. Damn.

I thoroughly enjoyed the popping of packing materials right into that microphone.

It was great to see Ryan again. On a Taco Bell DVD. Miss that dude.

Jason has been KILLING it with these descriptions lately.

What is the timestamp for Ryan's appearance :)

Never thought watching people clean would be so entertaining. I want Dan with me when I'm doing cleaning, he seems to make things more fun, and stupid.

Wow. They actually filmed it. I thought Jeff was joking when he mentioned it awhile back.

1:58

Jeff's idea to always leave those cameras on is faaaaantastic. I want to be able to check in on the office at any time, be it during lunch or at 2:48 am. Heck, make it premium for all I care. Giant Bomb 24-7.

Looking forward to Dan's video review. I don't want it to be for MGS though. Just some random ass game that comes out over the summer.

Ryan is still alive in our hearts, and also in the form of magical Taco Bell DVD's :)

Haha. I love how everyone is going through shit and Dan Ryckert is just on the other side of the room stabbing plastic with his new toy. Dan Ryckert, you are my favorite person.

@yummytreesap: Dan calls Target too fancy and mostly shops at Walmart (one of the reason why his family business got shut down which is an extra layer of weird)

Just...why?

@shmellow: why not?

Speaking as a janitor, you guys must be... something... something... Man, all those boxes... man...

@elpork: Holy shit, more surprised that there is another fellow janitor on the site, but yes, that whole area looks like a nightmare...

Because you're never going to get anyone to shell out cash to watch guys cleaning an office by hiding it behind a pay wall. You're much better served by putting that content out there, and if people like it, make them think, well damn, if this is them doing chores, imagine what they'd do for events they put effort into?

I have to say this as a guy who has cut LOTS of boxes in his life, and thus, is way too concerned about this topic, so bare with me...

I will never understand the dumb dude-obsession with cutting boxes with "cool knives" or just having any knife besides a the bear minimum needed, like, you know, a box cutter. They make those super small and thin ones and you can buy a dozen at a time. It's so much more safe and convenient than Rambo knives or even pocket knives. They are not as cool and certainly not as good for such tasks as cutting tape and cardboard .

So buy some box cutters guys, you open plenty of stuff, its worth it. Or maybe someone should send them some boring-ass box cutters. :)

@jasoncourt: I mean, someone sent them a big box of weird knives, so it's what they have available.

Yeah, every-time I see a mailbag, and that massive tower of boxes in the back corner looms in the shot a very heavy sigh escapes me.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Brad have "Joey The Knife" since the first office? That has to be a trustworthy knife!

btw, where's the part with Dan hiding inside of a box like Snake?

i really wouldnt like to work with dan

I'm sitting watching this, wondering why I keep watching it. Life is strange

It is ridiculous that this is video content, but here I am watching it. I would not be able to stand working with all of that clutter. I'm too much of a neat-freak and crave organization.

I go to Walmart way more often than Target, just because Walmart happens to be closer to me and less of a hassle to get into and out of, but on the rare occasions when I need a Target I always feel like I don't belong there. It's hilarious and stupid to feel out of place at Target because it's fucking Target; who cares?

Those poor PS3 controllers..

Breaking down boxes is about 30% of my job. Watching this is just making me dread going back to work.

@mythdark: ♡

Sweet, I can see the first half of this now.

What am I doing with my life?

Seeing Ryan show up at random on that Taco Bell DVD was amazing. What a stupid thing that is. Also, I don't know how you guys are able to function with so much clutter on your desks and just in your area in general, but I'm the kind of guy who never puts anything up and never has anything but post-it notes on his desk.

Such an unexpected turn to get some Ryan in on this as well.

LA is great. They are wrong.

thanks for uploading this dudes! like one of those wildlife cams haha

Would it help you guys if the GB community didn't send you there trash in the mail?

Seems like half of mailbags are hey i found this old crap in my basement i'm not going to throw it out so why don't you guys do it for me.

If I worked with them I'd clean all that shit my first day. I just can't. I can't. Can't do it. I also worry about the smells.

Video content years in the making!

Y'all hate way too much on LA. Try spending some time here when it's not E3 and don't spend it downtown.

You want it broken! *steps on* There!

Nice, Bard.

I guess I'll watch 2 hours of you guys cleaning 2 years worth of boxes and toys. Welp.

(I am secretly psyched to watch this.)

Uh... Are American cardboard boxes too stiff to stomp flat or something? We usually just step on the stuff we get at work. A lot of them are boxes that fold in on themselves if you look at them the wrong way though, real brittle trash.

Ahahaha, awesome! Drew has apparently done The Sorrow in Snake Eater now. I can only imagine how long that fight was. :)

Ugh who am I, as soon I saw it was 2 hours long I got so happy. Perfect background to my Bloodborne farming

I like that the room doesn't get any cleaner at the end.

Look at that control center Drew has going on. Setting up for videos looks like a lot of work. Imagine all the organization that goes into setting up a studio is this is a makeshift set up. Hopefully this opens people's eyes to Vinny and Alex's situation.

Poor Drew trying to keep his area clear but working next to Dan. Staggering amount of old boxes they had, I couldn't believe they still had and apparently will continue to have that CaH box. Can no one just drag it out to the recycle bin?

How has Brad not stabbed himself? And, as much shit Dan gets for getting a knife at least the man knows to cut away from himself..

After you've gone down the middle of the tape with a knife you can just bust the box open with your hands, no need to spend all that time slicing away at each end.

I'm having flash-backs to my Dad telling me I was being too slow.

That Gamespot Gerstmann Kane & Lynch trophy.

Best moment of the video for me.
