Patrick. I think you should take to wearing a large gold medallion of some type around your neck. And unbutton your shirt halfway.

Jeff is right, ranch is awful in general. Cool Ranch Doritos included.

Opinions are correct!

Not sure. But it's not just for Amazon Prime orders, apparently. I received a package just the other day that was sealed with Amazon Prime-branded tape and I don't use Prime.

I didn't think I could like Drew any more than I do already, and then he said he likes all gummies.

@ruthloose: Look I know that your dad probably didn't fuck his sister. It just pisses me off when people make ignorant comments like your's. There's no reason to pick on Iceland (and Scandinavia, which doesn't even include Iceland geographically) like this. I really don't know what your problem is.

@doppelgamer: Patrick's copy of Tetris Battle Gaiden. Always at hand for mirth emergencies (or emirthgencies if we're being fatuous).

I'm still hoping Ryan makes a list of all those Famicom and Super Famicom games he got in that huge bundle from Japan. The obsessed collector in me is curious what they were and I could only recognize so many from that Mailbag. I guess it's probably best he keeps them under his facetious fedora for a possible future live stream.

I get some small kick from reading swedish in Giant Bomb videos, and more so from hearing them pronouncing it.

Would be great to see the book Dynasty Warriors is based on is just hundreds of pages which just say press X (or A).

I've learned all I need to know about Dynasty Warriors by playing Dynasty Warriors.

Seriously, Dynasty Warriors 7 is a great place to go for a good summation of RotK

RoTK is awesome. At one point a character straight up demands "Trust my three inches of agile tongue."

Also, there are robot tigers full of explosives, and poison water, and a guy gets so angry that he falls over dead. A dude creates a magic maze of illusions. When Guan Yu is shot in the arm with a poisoned arrow, he has the surgeon cut his arm open and SCRAPE THE BONE while continuing to get straight wasted and eat a big meal.

The University of California edition was very readable, but I'm not sure which one @patrickklepek got.

I think in this case their reaction was based on more the fact that they had already seen most if not all of those Swedish delights before.

Yeah, it's really crazy how utter badass the book is at points. I remember getting to the point where Guan Yu is chowing down and drinking while he's having his arm cut open and the bone scraped, and by that point, it didn't immediately register to me how utterly crazy it was.

As for the edition, it's Tuttle Classics.

Yeah. It's boring to see just weird candy and energy drinks. I do love it when they do Mailbag videos so people shouldn't stop sending them stuff, they should just try to be more creative when they do.

I know this video isn't a usual Mailbag, but the principal still applies.
