@vuud: I think you're generally OK, but I wrote "Giant B." since they've commented in other Mailbags that it might be a good idea to not write "BOMB" on a package in the US :)

And yeah, that poster was from me, no note inside since I shipped it straight from the Kickstarter, since I live in Sweden and it seemed silly to ship it half-way across the globe two times over :D

You know I've been wondering why there's been these recent QLs with just Jeff and Drew since realistically it's only them left when Brad's not there.

@fisk0: MiG-31 is a real plane. High-speed interceptor.

e: Oh, I see, they just used a real plane's name for a fictional plane. That seems silly.

Empire of the Sun should probably be on that poster. It's got planes.

I don't think MiG-31 existed, or at least was known in the West when they did that movie, but it does exist now.

Jeff's guy is Dan Ryckert isn't it? It is. Of course it is.

And Drew's guy is the other video producer that left Game Informer, whose name I forget.

Or maybe you could let someone voice their opinion without taking it as an offensinve remark. There are two people in the office it looks sad.

Yeah, it was an innocent enough comment.

It's probably too much effort, but I always thought that they should have just re-arranged the tables when Ryan passed, as it would be weird to have someone else sitting in his seat. And then Patrick and Sara left and it was already looking a bit empty for a while now. Maybe find some space for that old flea infested couch. Anyway, should have some new people moving in soon so it won't look that deserted for too long.

I thought the sadness was about it being messy with all the stuff everywhere. I never thought anyone equated 'fewer people' with 'sad'. Weird!

I love it when Drew adds "Jeff" at the end of his questions. It's like he's asking an elder for wisdom.

I thought the first rule of flight club was you don't talk about flight club.

I'm going to throw this out there. I think the new guy working 'under' Drew is this guy, right here: http://www.youtube.com/user/xpantherx

Known for his "Best of Giant Bomb" video series on YouTube. Hope I'm right.

"Atlantic Rim" was a no-budget knock-off of Pacific Rim, intentionally made with a similar title in the hopes of confusing uncertain consumers into buying their shitty movie, made by the same cinematic parasites that brought you such titles as "Transmorphers", "Snakes on a Train", and (I shit you not) "The Day the Earth Stopped".

Watched this a couple of days ago, have seen it sitting there on the page every day since it was posted. And only just now did I notice the L in "Flight club".

Oddly enough I was´nt even surprised, I just went "-Huh, so Drew is the real life Tyler Durden, arranging fistfights in the office basement"

Well mr Scanlon, I guess that´s what having ridiculously good posture, and beeing unnervingly calm gets ya.
