The Head of the Flight Club Receives a Curious Package

HEY! First rule of the Flight Club.. REMEMBER?!?

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.

Am I crazy, wasn't there a hallway down that side of the room before where Tony and Sarah used to sit?

"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".

I don't even really like aircraft that much but that is an awesome poster.

Flight Club's all split up. Good thing they've got them fandangled flying machines.

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.

Fun fact: my cousin made this poster! Pretty surreal seeing it here.

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

Flight Club theme song:

Nice poster!

Was wearing the shirt a few days ago...

I want Drew's hair

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

@heavyplay said:

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

You guys should decorate your office more.

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.

MORDRU!

I mean...MORE DREW!

Wow whats your problem?

@i_stay_puft: Next year it will be just Drew, even Gamespot will have moved to a different building.

Poor Tony :(

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.

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

@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.

Wait, I thought Brad was only on a week of vacation? If Drew is gonna sit next to Jeff, where's Brad gonna sit? Did I miss something?

Drew "The Dreamboat" Scanlon.

We have the same shortel phones at my company, just move the actual phone!

sweet poster

You two rock, thanks again

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.

@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

@timepuller: Indeed it is! Here is the link if anyone's interested: http://kck.st/1iLa9L0

Yeah, especially considering how shoddy Apples open gl drivers are when it comes to feature parity, speed and stability, macs are objectively inferior to something like a boxx workstation for adobe editing. Of course, workflow and being comfortable accounts for a lot, but the new mac pros, while impressive engineering wise they flat out lose performance / price wise. And they run mac os x, which is a huge black mark against them as well. Finder is possibly the worst piece of software ever made and the design philosophy that has made that the worst file manager I've ever used is found all over the bits of the OS that are not unix.

You Do NOT talk about Flight Club

@racebelly: who do you think Jeff's new guy is?

Pretty sure who Jeff's guy is. But, I'm curious who Drew's guy will be.

Also, they need to put some posters/pictures on the walls.

standing desk?

Atlantic Rim is a real thing:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_Rim_(film)

Only surviving member of the flight club. :(

I'd kinda want a poster like that but with all the fictional aircraft from movies - the MiG-28 from Top Gun, the MiG-31 from Firefox, the Blue Thunder and Airwolf from their respective movies/TV series with the same names and F/A-37 Talon from Stealth. Maybe some of the near-future fictional video game aircraft like the F-19 Stealth Fighter, F-29 Retaliator and Thunder Blade (which was just had a screenshot from the Blue Thunder movie on the title screen) too.

Wouldn't it be weird if Brad was Seth Rogen this whole time?

Man we really need more inside-the-office videos!

Over to Drew at the Standing Desk for the Standing News.

What happened to the giant stack of Subway napkins????

Dat Skid Row poster!!!

So I always took Drew standing during the podcasts as a joke, but now I am not so sure...

So curious if they have the airplane from Airplane in that thing.

Seems like a gross oversight if not.

Brad's drawers could always use more poop. Go @Jeff.
