Mailbag: Beaver Buzz Energy

We can finally start that book club we've been talking about!

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

Camera work brought to you from the same guy who did Sony PS4 reveal in 2013. But as Vinny states, you gotta find that focus as it's not going to find itself! Only teasing Jan :P https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Hq3n52FY3U

Why does that guy walk back and forth so many times? I think he wants to be part of the video but is too shy to ask.

The two boxes of manuals shipped from Alaska, and the troll bags of chips on top of the second box.

I can't imagine what that cost to ship. Easily $200, based on size and weight. Mad respects on shipping that.

No joke, get those manuals to Frank Cifaldi or Jason Scott. That stuff should be preserved.

I think Dave could've saved the company a lot of money if he just brought his game guides and manuals piecemeal every day instead of mailing them all to the office at once, but it definitely was a nice treat to see the unboxing!

Saskatoon Berry Beaver Buzz is legit! It's a nice tasting energy drink that doesn't give you the Red Bull shakes, and have a heavy blackberry/blueberry taste.

(And Saskatoon Berry Jam is the friggin' bomb, boys.)

Jeff knows a fact about Calgary. As an Edmontonian, I am immediately jealous. I doubt anyone on staff knows we even exist.

Oh wait, I bet they all know about Bioware. Screw you and your stampede, Calgary - we got an EA studio.

Let's Tap is not bad. It probably helped that I played it on a "region free" wii though.

Play Diablo 3 on the hardest difficulty available from the start. It's amazingly easy, even then. It's designed to have you max level by the end of the campaign if you do it that way.

@fedallah: As a Maritimer, I know Calgary has a stampede and the Flames, and Edmonton has a mall and the Oilers. That is the limits of my knowledge :(

@hobozero: Here's where I am forced to admit that I would be hard pressed to come up with two facts about most of the Maritime cities... or even name a major city other than the capital in some cases.

Sorry about that! Not all prairie kids embody the stereotype of being clueless about the rest of the country, but I guess I do.

@the_nubster: Some friends and I were doing the campaign coop, and even on the highest available difficulty it was completely brain-dead trivial. I eventually just blitzed a character on each of their accounts through to the end, so that they could select higher difficulties. That let us give ourselves a real challenge, but holy fuck should it have not been necessary.
