Mailbag: Mailbag: Poppin Chocolate

Didn't Jeff say they got that pink "Bad Man" vegeta shirt in a mailbag during one of the All Systems Goku podcasts? Was that ever posted?

Man, Jan just going full Jamie in this video with the jacket, mustache, and almost beret-reminiscent cap. lol. I "watched" most of this audio only. Will second (two hundred and thirtysecond) some better stabilization, please.

@klynn: I think Ben is so used to turning that one knob that he thinks he can focus with an actual ring in his finger.

@equality7221: I think I remember seeing it displayed on one of the shelves in the studio.

Jesus Ben. First its so shaky that I have to physically look away because I'm getting dizzy. Ok, its a mailbag so not really meant to be too professional, lessons learned etc. But to call a fellow Kiwi an Aussie, that's inexcusable.

For those wondering the P in L&P is Paeroa, the town where the drink was first created using the mineral water there. There is a Statue of a Bottle of L&P there. Its a soda here, which I like, but have been mashing with all types of confectionery, which i find gross. I often go past the town to see family members, and stop into the public toilets, so if there is pee in it some of it may be mine.

Ben with the jitters...

Wanted to watch this, but was dizzy before the 10 second mark. Oh well!

Before I get motion sick, shoutout to Jeff, looking trim as fuck

Unfortunately, I couldn't watch more than about 30 seconds. Ben, you'll do better next time.

@paddles: Saved me the trouble, cheers.

Sorry, it's giving me motion sickness and it's difficult to hear. I like these impromptu office clips but this is too hard to watch.

On a positive note, that chocolate looked pretty delicious. Yum!

My favorite part of the mailbags at the new office is catching glimpses of the mysterious non-crew employees (interns?) in the back hard at work.

Love the return of mailbag but let Jan handle the video production next time!

Unwatchable!

How soon til the requisite sub cancel threat? ;) Fun video otherwise as always guys!

Btw no need for the broken record, Ben's aware of the issue such as it is.

@paddles: I really like the L&P white chocolate mix but can understand how not everyone would agree which is why I added the dairy milk option, was quite surprised when everyone actually said they liked it. Will give Ben the benefit of the doubt this time for saying I was from Australia my letter did say Australia a few times.

As stated L&P is well liked in New Zealand.

Should of sent the Jelly Tip one as well, so nice.

Is it really windy up there Ben? Is that why the camera is swaying so much? And carrying the bloody audio away?

Weird reading all this after watching the video. I did not notice it shaking at all.

Maybe I have shake free eyes or something.

Ben needs a gimbal or give it to Jan.

Unless Ben is going for Paul Greengrass shakey cam

@geocom: I'm glad they liked it too, (and your parcel in general), I have been meaning to do something similar but never have gotten around to it. TBH, the Whittakers isn't that bad, but the L&P Bikkies to me personally were awful. Mind you, I have a lower tolerance to confectionery in general since reducing it drastically in my diet.

I'm sure Ben knows the difference and misheard or something, I was just making light of everyone giving him a hard time in the comments.

any cash in the GB budget for a cell phone gimbal?

The HFR certainly doesn't help the shaky cam.

Bumping down the quality helped a little bit

Well, the lack of Demo Derby episodes can't at least be blamed on the lack of material...

"...but I do remember playing the MGS 2 demo a lot..."

*Jason nods in background*

@drallcom: Nah, some people are just extremely sensitive and spiteful cause Internet.

Geff with a G from Australia

Tooooooo much shake!

This is the worst. So much shaking. First time in my life a video started to both me.

Should have sent the Jelly Tip instead of the L & P haha

Shipping you guys a Steadicam harness for next mailbag

There are tons of lunatics out there I would not eat that food.

Terrible video, first time I've even ever commented on a video. Made me motion sick 2 minutes in, same thing as last mailbag. Used to love watching these, now it's shake-cam all day.

Working 9 to 5 Dolly joke was good. At first I thought Ben was going to go for a Dolly the sheep clone joke though.

Geoff screwed up when he sent the L&P and not the Jelly Tip. That L&P stuff tastes like soap.

I'm sure @benpack is a good man with many talent, but filming/holding a camera is clearly not one of them. Its extremely nauseating (literally) to watch footage shot by Ben. Its the reason I only ever watched 1 Ben's lens halfway and then never watched another one again. I don't like to be a Ben "hater" (i hate that term), but this is quite literally a health hazard.

One person with motion sickness is not a video problem. 8 people with motion sickness is a video problem. Why get worked up about people leaving feedback?

Jan please takeover as camera man, my god.

bc of the way comments work on this site.. if theirs enough of them.. you have to scroll for a very long time.. which means you get to see 20 people say the same thing.. in the comment JUST after mine you have ben saying sorry he doesnt know what went wrong.. and yet STILL people are carrying on

then you have a comment like this that is just mean-spirited and proves my point.. this isnt about feedback anymore.. its just dogpiling

As Jason was handling the hot sauce, I thought to myself, "that looks an awful lot like Yellow Bird."

Yellow Bird is delicious, though I think I prefer the Jalapeno to the Habanero. I actually put some Yellow Bird on my breakfast this morning.

The hell? I wouldn't say you have to be extremely sensitive to notice how jarring that video was.

Pretty sure I had this Duke t-shirt back in the day. I think it came with a standalone expansion to Duke 3D.

Ben, please invest in a video stabilizer!

You can see Ben zooming and focusing the camera in the first minute. Part of the reason why it is so shakey. Definitely not a phone.
