Mailbag: Giant Bomb Mailbag: Artichokes N' Crawtaters Edition

I ate way too many of those chips and Swedish Fish and now I feel all barfy.

Always love a good mailbag! (:

Dan's the new Brad for Mailbags!

Next step: Usurp the Bombcast.

We're pretty much the same guy.

Craw...taters?

@danryckert: Careful, you'll be playing Starcraft and DotA before you know it.

Been there.

Time to test out Jeff's "if I see other people puke, it makes me want to puke" statement.

THEYRE SMOKED, RYCKERT.

Good ol' Mailbag Brad

I am eating Brim's branded snacks as this video plays.

No no no, you don't get how this works. I'm turning him into me, not the other way around.

if Dan and Brad were in Face/Off and switched faces, no one would know the difference.

Weird, my Taco Bell in Georgia was also closing early last night. Maybe some corporate mandate going on. Get on it Scoops!

...But you just took his spot as the new Mailbag guy, how can you say argu--

Ah fuck it. Dan wins, again. Monsters shall always prevail.

You should buy him some America pants for Christmas

Clever putting those Newtypes into Dan's hand. He will fall to the anime. He will be a slave to the rhythm of bad localizations.

@danryckert: I suggest watching Akira first of the two you mentioned during the mailbag there. I first saw Akira when the Syfy channel was still Sci-Fi. I remember being a kid and thinking how badass it was. Little did I know I was watching anime.

Anyhow, Akira should be a good introduction for you, it is a pretty soild action flick.

@danryckert: was this shot with your new iphone 6+ because the quality seems way better compared to usual

Oh my lawd you guys got my demo discs in the binders! I hope there weren't too many repeats in there :D

swedish fish are so fuckin good, man...

CaLeYeaH

Man thanks to the bombcast image this week I really want some Krispy Kreme donuts and now I want too eat my weight in Swedish Fish.

that's a lot of swedish fish

@danryckert: when are you gonna start an anime podcast?

Surprised no one has sent Dan Cowboy Bebop yet.

When Brad said he wanted to be more like Dan, I didn't expect them to... swap personalities/bodies D=

WOW @danryckert has a pretty legit assortment of great anime to watch im so glad the users took the high road and actually sent him great stuff to watch instead of a bunch of hentai bullshit i cant wait to hear what he thinks its so weird i care this much

The Swedish fish reveal made my day

@springfart: @danryckert's first impressions of anime should at least be a feature!

@danryckert: Did you know that Swedish fish are actually made in Canada?

Back when I was in high school, we always had a lot of them when I was in school plays (don't ask me, it started before I was in them), so we spent a lot of time looking at the bags.

I didn't realise how tall Jason was!

@danryckert You should give Redline a try. It is kinda like F-Zero.

@danryckert: Oh so there is no mutual exchange. You're just giving young Bradley the Agent Smith treatment. Gotcha.

God speed

those seem to be pretty hard to come by so i'm assuming people are hanging onto them instead. i'm sure someone's charitable enough, though.

So many of your demo disks are from Future Publishing shouldn't one of their websites do their own "Demo Derby" or would that be a rip off of GB's "IP" now?

Yeeeeaaaah, PC Gamer discs! That is what Willis was talkin' 'bout!

DAN WALKS SO FAST

No, I'm pretty sure next step is becoming the new Anime Editor.

I'm sure Brad feels exactly the same.

Redline and and a giant bag of Swedish Fish sounds about perfect right now.

Oh my gosh, is Dan going to keep bragging about his extensive anime collection any chance he gets!?

I hate swedish fish. They're the worst and stick to your teeth.

I prefer gummy bears personally.

Edit: @springfart: I see what you did there!

what the hell? i see 75% of those chips at my local grocery/convenience stores every day. didn't know i could send them to giantbomb for sweet sweet internet points. i guess i assumed they had already received a mid-south snack mailbag

edit: i think you guys missed the bible quotes on the back of the brim's bags

Love how the camera follows Dan's hand.

They're the best. Them sticking to teeth is a sacrifice worth having.

Aw yeah Zapps, i live about an hour away from the Zapps factory in Gramercy, Louisiana. It smells fucking amazing out that way.

@danryckert: I like Dan as the camera guy. He shows stuff :)
