Mailbag: Giant Bomb Mailbag: Safety Dance Edition

Brad can act real rude and totally removed, and I can act like an imbecile.

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

So is the crew going to recreate the beastie boys Intergalactic now?

this is exactly what I was thinking as soon as I saw the safety gear. Too bad all their video guys are out - doing a quick mock-up of the video's rapping scenes would be good for a laugh.

The whole thing is like a puzzle that a serial killer would send to the police.

With your fucking body parts in it.

This is just the start of a bad contest of who can send the weirdest stuff until something extremely wrong is sent to the Giant Bomb office. Like someone's hand in dry ice. Don't do it. Everyone just be fucking cool.

...although that safety gear was pretty funny. That was kind of worth it.

It wasn't until about halfway through that I remembered something about one of the guys talking about getting their own safety gear during the earthquake drill video.

I wish they tried to figure out the puzzle if there actually was one, I think this was one of the best packages they got the one on that livestream with tengen tetris and some other stuff was a bit better.

If the next package of dry ice they get has a hand in there instead of pizzas, I think the mailbag will be over forever.

Excuse me Mr. Shoemaker, but I must address one of your statements in this video regarding the collection of film novelizations, which included the following:

  • Indiana Jones
  • Alien
  • Batman

The title of 80's movies is apt for the first and third films, but Alien was released in 1979, making it a 70's film.

Alan Dean Foster for life.

Alan Dean Foster actually wrote some great novelizations. Including none other than, THE DIG.

It was actually pretty damn good, and relatively faithful to the game.
