Mailbag: Giant Bomb Mailbag: Big Ol' Box Edition

Possibly our most premium package of goods ever!

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

The dead pan "I'm a borg now" is the only quality thing in this video

There should probably be a disclaimer not to send them literal junk in this video.

People are complaining about all of the trash they got. But they got a lot of valuable stuff in the games. Technically speaking this is one of the most valuable mailbags they have had yet. But I totally agree that the sending of something like that backpack is not really interesting to me.

This has pretty much become that show where they bid on storage units and then loot the storage units. Not that I'm complaining, I watch that stuff.

Why the hell would you send them a dirty-ass old backpack, a car visor sleeve, and a busted up empty PC tower? The games and even the fightsticks make perfect sense, but everything else... come on. Seriously.

Exactly. Giant Bomb would do well to just stop accepting this garbage (the bad kind) because this is getting ridiculous.

The last thing most of us want to hear is "We're retiring Mailbag videos. Stop sending us stuff." They are a mainstay, and have brought about many classic moments in GB history... But I don't doubt they'd do that if forced to.

They don't do a mailbag for every single thing that gets sent in. These guys are smart enough to see a trolling trend developing when they see one, I sincerely doubt we will be seeing any more boxes of garbage on mailbag videos even if people think it's funny to send them in. I wouldn't worry too much about this or look too deeply into it.

Stop sending your grimy junk as a mailbag! 95% of that shit is probably going to get thrown out.

How much of an asshole do you have to be to be to 1) not clean the stuff you think they might want and 2) send them filthy junk that clearly no one would ever want (monitor/bag/cables etc) and belongs in the trash and 3) plug your channel in the process!?

Fuck! Some of these mailbags are really lazy and thoughtless!

I have a feeling that someone is going to see this video, and in retaliation, they're going to send GB some extra-good stuff as a palate cleanser.

Welp I'm glad to see people already jumped on how crap it is to watch trash get sent in, but another thing this video did for me was regret selling my PS3 Brawl Stick.

I got one of those for 20 or $30 during the fire sale and now with SF5 coming up I'm really sad.

Parkway Drive is pretty great band if you're into Metalcore. That album Deep Blue was pretty good. Hell of a band to see live as well.

After sending them a box of shite, I can't imagine what that YouTube channel is like. I suspect it's just full of abstract shapes and dog turds in video form.

I think they've received other mailbags of comparable "quality" in the past already, so I don't see why people are getting upset about this.

Yes, it was total trash (except for the Parkway Drive album, because Parkway Drive is a-okay), but who cares really? I doubt they'll retire mailbags or whatever because of stuff like this, and instead they'll just stop uploading videos of the ones that turn out to be complete shit.

Also Drew's box was cool.

Cringe... Please don't send in literal trash, ruins the spirit of this thing. Send in some cool fanart you made, weird foreign food or other interesting things that aren't commonly available, not just shit you don't want and they don't want either.

Feel bad for the crew having to pretend to be grateful that you made them throw out your garbage for you. The fact that you did this for a youtube plug just makes it even worse. Keep this up and mailbags will go away, don't ruin this for all of us please.

I propose the Reverse Mailbag: send GB a self-addressed empty box, prepaid to a certain shipping weight, and the GB staff fill it with whatever junk they have lying around the office and send it back to you.

Bonus idea: use a friend's address for that perfect birthday present!

IT'S A "NEW" OLD BACKPACK! and a monitor from before the end of the cold war!

A box of junk and a shameless plug for a YT channel... Cool. Glad I've already forgotten what the channel name was.

Also, if anyone, ANYONE took that code before Eduardo, you're a dick.

The whole time watching this I had this joke by Mitch Hedberg going through my mind: "When someone hands you a flyer, it's like they're saying ' Here.. YOU throw this away.' "

In this instance "handed a flyer" would be replaced with "mailed a big box."
