Mailbag: Giant Bomb Mailbag: Summer Hoodie Edition

Jeff: Jason. ANIME!

Jason got typecast ?

Also the volume is kinda low

That Buckfast isn't going anywhere is it.

Blink dagger keychain :O

The volume on this seems rather low.

Edit:

Damn that Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure story is great! Props to you duder!

Edit 2:
Damn you guys have that Mad Catz fight pad hanging next to Shaq as well. That's a valuable piece of hardware now.

Mailbags are wonderful. I'm so glad we got one after not having one for so long.

That is a DOPE hoodie and a real feel good story too!

Jeff Gerstmann ain't no toy writer.

@shtinky: well they're not coming in the mail.

@unastrike Why is there a SFXTK controller hanging from the ceiling?

That was real short. That Hori stick is nice though.

Oh man, I love shitty cover albums like that. Every once in a while you actually find some good stuff in those, but something tells me that Eminem one is wonderfully awful.

Edit: There's a version of Lose Yourself by this guy on Spotify... sure enough, it's not good. It's more competent than I expected, but it's full-on karaoke. No surprises or attempts to recreate the beat, it's just a guy rapping over the original instrumental. Disappointing.

weird zero sound for this if I try to stream it. Had to download to get audio. Every other video works fine.

What are the nicer arcade buttons Jason was referencing?

Damn, I want one of those Marc Ecko's Getting Up hoodies. I don't even wear hoodies anymore but I was a big fan of the game. I also want a good remake, remaster or sequel to Getting Up, but that's another story.

I also wouldn't mind watching Jeff playing it and talking a bit about it, maybe on an UPF.

@jbick89: Sanwa buttons.

Enjoyed the video. Looking forward to more mailbags!

That Buckfast ain't gonna age into something better. Drink it!

"It says Bo-ruto on it. Is that some sort of bootleg Naruto?"

Jason: "Yes."

Ranking of Fighters with Tekken 5 please!

Push Popplio.

I remember watching this back then but man I didn't think it's already been 3 years.

The Sneak King drawer returns!

Brad! Jason has work to do, would you mind shooting this?

Hey, Jason. Anime! Catch.

Hey, Jason. Fight stick! Get over hear.

Love your shirt Jeff! Team Poplio forever.

Bring back Joey!

Jason should change the buttons to Sanwa during UPF. Its always fun for some technical stuff.

Time for some science.

That looks like some version of the Cisco AirCap router on their ceiling. The blue light means that it found a network and auto-configured.

Unfortunately, I don't have a copy of Sneak King to send.

Switching the hori buttons for the sanwa on that stick isnt that easy. You need to solder the buttons. Mad catz made it so you could swap them out.

I like to imagine that Jeff is constantly trying to start fires somewhere.

Looks like a Cisco 3702

Hey @brad, I would recommend doing a idle build on Clicker Heroes. There are a few ancients that are meant for that kind of build.

That Tekken stick is sweet! Good send.

STAY FREE!

I saw a Poop emoji hanging from someone's rear view mirror in their car and thought they might be a Giant Bomb fan until I realized it was just an emoji.

It hasn't been that long and I already miss Drew.

They would if they were robots...

@ett: we'd be gutting that board and putting in a different pcb, so no need to solder anything.

People talk about low volume and I'm over here having to turn down the volume because it's so loud lol

@shagge: I actually thought it sounded pretty alright once i got over the fact that it's a cover. It's not adding anything to the song, but the guy rapped decently i thought.

I don't have much love for the Tekken series, but that case for all of the games is really cool! More long-running franchises should make cases that are like that. Physical media!

Aaaaaaa... where did he come from .

GB discord server made that cocaine package happen. good god that convo was interesting

That's a nice damn hoodie.

*Points camera at the access point*

Yes, that is the wifi

Spoiler alert: It's wifi.

Totally overlooked this video as it was never added to your YouTube account.
