Mailbag: Giant Bomb Mailbag: Miracle Sauce Edition

The image of Jeff hunched over a Vectex in the background of the vid is insanely Godlike.

Never change, Big Jeffrey.

You just outDanned Dan, Jason. Good job?

Oh man that'd be killer if we can get some live Vectrex action for UPF today.

Have a Vectrex stream! And not some dumb emulator stuff. Just point a dang camera at it!

The miracle berry stuff was totally on a Whiskey Media Happy Hour, right? The Tested guys played with some.

Gotta love those smooth vector graphics! I am the proud owner of a vectrex(its like 6 years older than me :D) and also VERY proud owner of a numbered vector pilot cart, fucking nr.500 out of 500. Its probably the only rare videogame thing I own despite having a huge collection. So lucky I just happened to have bought the last copy from the developer, Its a really awesome vectrex 'port' of time pilot. Maybe even the best game on vectrex.

Beserk and Scramble are pretty awesome as well on the vectrex. And Kristof Tuts, developer of vector pilot is currently working on a amazing(!!!) looking port of moonpatrol.

I'm personally still looking for Fortress of Narzod and Star Trek (or whatever they called it here in europe) complete for a reasonable price. Any of the weird peripherals would be awesome to own as well, theres this really spacy pen that turns your vectrex in a touchscreen and man..... I just love the whole vibe of that machine, those graphics , screen overlays and that constant buzzing sound it emits, just lovely! All heil the vectrex.

The juxtaposition of this camerawork is supreme. Excellent work, Drew!

@yapapanda: He was. After this stunt though it's either been cured or he's dead.

@ds23: you mean Jason? he already is in fact. Type 1 I believe.

Had no idea this Mailbag would have a good chunk of video dedicated Jason chugging different sauces, which was great.

It makes me smile seeing Dan and Jason praise Mr. Bones on the Sega Saturn. I wonder what kind of demo Mr. Bones would have since that game has numerous levels with a different gameplay styles. For instance, one level transition has you go from a platforming level to guitar rhythm level. Not kidding.

hoo yeah 25 minutes of stuff!

also miracle berrys are god dang incredible, my friends and I ate a whole lemon and it tasted like candy

Jason...bruh... holy shiiiiiiiiiiiit lmao that was incredible. God I love this website.

Damn, Jason! I love Sweet Baby Ray's too, but that was... let's go with "brave".

I'm surprised Brad went for it. I think Dan's Dan-ness is starting to become contagious.

To HELL with your diabetes!

What is this site?

I'm glad people aren't working in the background as they slam a bottle of bbq sauce to help pour it into a man's mouth so he can consume the entire bottle in one sitting for five dollars.

Giant bomb is the best!

Also, RIP Jason

great camera work Drew

*Jeff glances to his right*

Jeff: Sigh...

*Jeff goes back to setting up the Vectrex*

@orbital667: Are you implying lemons whiskey and limes taste gross?

This might be the happiest I've ever seen Dan look, and that's saying something.

I worry about Jason sometimes.

I remember this! Really fucked with Norm, as he was blindfolded while trying stuff. Trying to find the video.

godammit why Jason

@amyggen:Damn, I know that happened and I still didn't realize. It never even occurred to me since the UPF set looks so similar to me.

I love BBQ sauce and I nearly puked watching that. Great work!!

why jason why?!?

In the good old days it was just djungelvrål and hockeypulver. Now it has gotten weird.

Miracle Berries are supposed to change bitter and sour tastes. It's not gonna do anything with BBQ sauce and candy. XD

@streetwizzur: @afashionablehat: lewd but hot

man i hope dan's dumb excited grin never leaves this site.

i like that pre-diabetic dan is living vicariously through actual diabetic jason.

Bye Dan! ???

TOO SOON

Stay Up Dan!

"Is there some left in there?"

"...no..."

I love this videogame website

at the 13:30 mark.....

Dans says something about Jason having internet glory for the rest of his days for eating the BBQ sauce....

Jeff looks over and said " yeah all 2 of them"......

0_o

eerie foreshadowing!!!!!!!!

Jeff got the cartridges working and is playing Spin Ball

What a parade of fools. May the Lord hold His hand over them

That Vectrex ::swoon:: Makes me want to get one for my cube at work. Damn expensive on Ebay, though. Not surprising.

Wonder if anyone makes a nice vector monitor I could hook up to a rPi...

Last SF mailbag we'll ever with dan :(

What is this website?

I was really hoping for a copy of Sneak King in the big box.

JASON NO OH GOD THAT IS SO DISGUSTING

Damn, I didn't realize the american dollar is worth that much these days o.O

Lol I saw it immediately, Super excited when Jeff was setting up the Vectrex. (I have one that's alive and kicking. Beautiful self contained machine.) But seeing @danryckert is watching one of the best moments of NWO's take over of WCW. It was when there were still some wrestlers trying to resist the NWO but ultimately get beaten down. The part where El Rey Mysterio looked like he was going to get the dropped on Kevin Nash but ended up getting destroyed was when I hated and loved the NWO the most.

Jason is my hero.

I had a Vectrex, my mom sold it when I went to college. You could steer the football... loved that thing. oh and Jeff, the controller is the "door" on the bottom.

Fun Fact: in middle school my friend drank an entire bottle of BBQ sauce in one sitting. Then she felt super sick/ had horrible stomach pain a couple days later. Turns out almost instantly gave her a stomach ulcer. Have fun, Jason!
