"Bust Downs' Mailbag"

I totally ate most of these Norwegian candies in the... month or so I spent there ages ago. The dragster things are the cheapest things they have in stores there. Actually the cheapest candy there is if you're starved for money and want some terrible candy.

I will never ever understand America's distaste for salted candy.

I miss Jeffs point videos.

Foliorum Viridum · Aug 29, 2012

Until Carrie throws Jeff off his chair to take over a Jar Time it will never be as good as Points!

Downloading it now to watch in bed though. Good timing!

The Carrie vs. Jeff Points videos were the best. I kinda wish Carrie was a Giant Bomb member.

Foliorum Viridum · Aug 29, 2012

I really wish she was. One of few likeable female personalities in the industry.

I should really go back and download all of the Points video before they get wiped off the internet forever. I bet there's a lot of interesting stuff in them to watch again.

Edit: They're all like 70mb, lushhh. I'll have them all downloaded in about 20 minutes, ha.

I guess you americans don't have SALT?

EDIT: It's pretty funny how some americans are so ignorant when it comes to the rest of the world. Sweden calling (!), we've got 7-Eleven (it's only been around since, what, the 1970's in Sweden?!), Dunkin Donut's, Starbucks, Burger King, McDonalds etc etc etc etc etc. It's the US that's all closed up when it comes to foreign products and franchises.

see5harp · Aug 30, 2012

We're starting to get salted caramels in the nicer candy shops and cheap versions at Trader Joes and Whole Foods. Personally, salted caramels and salt on your fruit is delicious (especially cantalope). People who don't understand how salt makes things taste sweeter are plebs like Jeff.

The fact that you're so mad is indeed funnier than the segment.

Wow, dude.

I think you have some America-related issues you need to see a therapist about. This kind of built up rage over candy isn't healthy.

The Charlie thing is cute, but he has a real, canon name now and was always more of a character than P3MC. It's time to let go.

Well, Persona 4 Golden still lets your rename your character to whatever you want (as long as it fits within the character limit). So, no, people can still call him whatever they want. Some people may be confused when not calling him Narukami, but that's fine. Like, my sister will still refer to him as "John Cena."

Looks like the candy isn't the only thing in Sweden that's salty....

When Vinny and Jeff did the Endurance Run, they named the main character in Persona 4 "Charlie Tunoku" (as in Charlie Tuna, but Japanese) as a joke after about 10 seconds of deliberation on the matter.

Giant Bomb fans kept exclusively referring the main character as Charlie Tunoku in Persona threads, confusing everyone who had never saw the ER. It got to the point that they kept insisting that the funny joke name was the "real" one, even when Atlus announced a canonical name ("Yu Narukami") for purposes of keeping things straight for the P4 anime and P4 Arena.

Some Persona fans get really pissed off and see "Charlie Tunoku" as a dumb forced meme that won't go away.

RomanticHeroX · Aug 30, 2012

Charlie is a way better character than Yu. I don't even mean name, I really don't like making him a non-blank slate.

I think those people just need to go to the doctor soon, because if those bugs crawl any further up their ass, they might have a serious problem.

They do a pretty good job of making Yu a "blank slate" who is quiet for 90% of a coversation then pipes up with the most ridiculous or brazen shit out of nowhere, just like Jeff and Vinny did.

It was an earlier incarnation of Jeff's Jar Time videos, except he would talk about his current achievement points before he started talking about random stuff. It was great.

TheBaronOfNA · Aug 30, 2012

I really don't like canonical names to my insert_name_MCs . If Charlie/Yu/Simon needs some word to be referred I will prefer the South Park RPG idea of calling him: That Douchebag.

Typographenia · Aug 30, 2012

I'm just now getting close to the halfway point of the P4 endurance run, I've beaten the entire game on my own (90+ hours), and I still consider the protagonist to be named "Charlie Tunoku." I don't care.

Lots of good things to watch now, after a long day!
