Mailbag: Giant Bomb Mailbag: Code Scotch Edition

Best way to honor the code? Drink all this scotch!

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

Oh no! I guess I need to keep binge drinking my liver into Oblivion while I still can... I'm 23 and a shot-machine, I never thought my skills would diminish with age : (  now I'm sad - so I'm gonna go take some shots. (By the way, I capitalized Oblivion because I picture Patrick Stewart saying it.)

Laphroaig is actually an Islay single malt; it's good stuff.

Well I doubt every sites gets this much junk - not from the fans anyway.  Maybe 1up back when the brodeo was still going.
 
Plus I bet if you add up all the free shit they have got this year (maybe not that box of twinkies) it would cost less than Jeff has "invested" in Gamesroom :)

They were trying to avoid disturbing the quick look that was being filmed.   Considering the size of the old office, it was probably twice as bad before.

Sure was.  You used to be able to hear the GB guys filming on the podcasts for the other sites.

All this talk about whisky made me go home last night to crack open my bottle of Ardbeg 10 and kill that off, as there was only a glass or two left.  Much to my surprise, there was about a half a glass left...and since I already killed my Glenfiddich 15 Solera, I now realize THAT I'M OUT OF SCOTCH!!!  Muthafucker...
 
...soooooo now I need to go get another bottle.  Probably gonna get more of that Glen 15 Solera.  That shit was yummy!

Great Mailbag as usual, but I can't help but notice: 
 
What is dangling from that iPhone? Looks like...it's plugged into the laptop with a USB plug, but then a USB plug is also plugged into it from the other side? What is this madness?!

I was going to send them some of one of my favourites, Glenfiddich - 18 year old. But I dun went and drank it first. I kept forgetting to do it after that. Glad someone else sent them some booze.

@CrazedMaverick:  Spend enough money on a bottle of alcohol and you really wanna be sipping it.  Just make sure that your premium vodka is coming out of the freezer before you start sipping it, it then becomes bloody lovely. 
 
And yeah, Laphroaig.  My tipple of choice, and I'm from Scotland so I'd naturally know a good whisky.  If you don't like it on your first two or three drinks because the taste is pretty over-whelming, just give it a few more tries and you'll be right there with all the cool kids.  Really powerful smell as well, just so very lovely.  I love the way a friend of mine described it as being like "having an ash tray emptied in your mouth, but somehow nice."

I don't drink Mountain Dew/Mello Yello. I know the yellow 5 thing is bull, but just in case.
 
I want to see those scotches enjoyed on this week's Happy Hour.
