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?

This reminds me of an MST3K interview where Mike Nelson asked viewers not to mail him any more teeth.

Hah, I actually have an issue of Justice League Europe. It's pretty much Power Girl kicking ass plus some other people.

With these new outfits, they should create their own Beastie Boys tribute music video.

100% Fancy. That's Giant Bomb.com.

Now they can form their Earthquake Safety Team with the high-vis pink wear.

Actually, that's not some bad free schwag. I mean, come on--Wing Commander III! I'm not sure I'd trust that drink, though--it looks like it could contain rat poison.

Man, it's the middle of the day and Luchadeer's already passed out drunk on a table. I know nobody wants to talk about it, but they should really hold an intervention for that guy.

Fantastic stuff - but none of the Wing Commander novelizations? Also, that SEGA CD FMV game looks amazing.

I gotta say, if there had been a dead rat, wrapped in newspaper, at the bottom of that package, I wouldn't have been all that surprised.

@deerokus: oh, it didn't? I didn't doublecheck the youtube link someone posted in the comments here, I thought they were the same, and that was a link to the Sega CD FMV game Fahrenheit, about firefighters (consistent with the protective gear theme, even though the stuff they got in that package was more construction worker-ish - though it was probably a throwback to the "Earthquake safety" video Jeff put up on the site a couple of weeks ago).

Have you forgotten the smelly, moldy thing they got in wrapped in some bonus postal service plastic packaging late 2010? I think that wasn't so much sinister as it was improperly packaged bottles, though.

I thought this was the video where they were going to tear down the office walls and do some renovations because Brad was wearing construction gear in the preview image.

The box-cutter was ingenious, yet added to the creep factor of this box. Def made a good video though!
