Mailbag: Mailbag: And Then, a Box from France Showed Up

There's only one thing you can predict when a package sent from the other side of the world appears: assume it's full of Intellivision games, and a copy of Canada Hunt.

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

Dollarama sticker... ho-boy. That's some funny shit. Good job TheRizzle. I guess you have a severely clean attic now. ;-)

Edit: PS. I also love how the french on the postal stickers means it is from France. =D

I've sent two things to Giant Bomb. The first was opened on a mailbag a while back which was filled with Korean snacks and goodies. The second, a tube, was never to be seen or heard from again.

Btw, the best thing I think they've gotten so far was that 6 foot gummi worm.

There was a note in there... I wonder why they didn't find it.

Quoting so the crew can see this.

Late night mailbags are the best mailbags (this is actually the first that I can remember of).

Many kudos to you. That was an almighty package full of some really awesome PC games (I squee'd a little when I saw Grim Fandango).

Insane. I guess someone decided to finally clean out their closet. But instead of throwing away/sell these games cheap, they decided to donate them to a greater purpose. Might be a bit more scary than cool, but Insane applies to both of those.

This video also made me want to hug the old PC games I still hold on to and make sure they're still there. Did not see Dungeon Keeper, Curse of Monkey Island or Tiberian Sun in there so I think my collection is still safe.

When will Giantbomb just admit they are corporate shills, bought and paid for by Intellivision?

Shoutouts to sending games that need CD Keys like Black and White. My parents had a copy of chocolatier, it really isnt that bad for a super casual tycoon/puzzle game from what i remember.

Toss that Quake shareware disc in the car and enjoy the sweet sweet sounds of trent r.

Trent is one of the reasons I'm excited about Black Ops 2.

That was one of the reasons why I am getting COD BO2 as well with the Soundtrack. Trent R. is the man.

They need to turn that package into an Intellivision event and a whole bunch of Random PC Game videos. There's hundreds of hours of content!
