NDX was a wonderful conclusion to the Nintendo Downloads saga.

I've heard the sequel is really dumb but it's completely self aware, I've been meaning to watch it.
It actually makes me angry that someone would just give that away.
Didn't that happen around the same time as someone sent former Giant Bomb news intern Patrick a computer?
Is this Anime?

I have never understood why some people insist on calling people who send in stuff like that "creepy stalker types" or similar bullshit. I get that people judge others on the internet for no reason, but come the fuck on. There's plenty of ways to not seem like an asshole, writing shit like that isn't one of them.
it's that 60 second post limit brah gotta get around it somehow

I only judge the people who are very clearly just dumping their shit in a box to the GB guys rather than throwing in the bin like they should. People have to know they have no interest in random game manuals & video game tat. Send then games they could play on a show, sure but just throw your random bullshit away.
Sure, and that's been discussed to death already. Until Jeff or someone else explicitly say that they don't want that kind of stuff, people will keep sending it.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
Hmm...I really hate self aware movies :/
I enjoy "super stupid but meant to be taken serious" more than "bad on purpose"
And this time they openly destroyed shirts and pepsi-kun right in the video.

It's exactly the same thing as when the SBF did their mailbag, and they eventually stopped doing mailbags because people were being overly generous to the point that it made the guys super uncomfortable to be accepting those gifts. Along with all the manual bullshit too.

this. even if, by that measure, I should like Boondock Saints.
I mean, GB has been doing mailbags for years now so I doubt they'll ever stop doing them. And I'm guessing this thread cares a lot more about people sending them "garbage" than they do themselves.
I still find Mailbag videos really entertaining, so I don't really give a shit. It's more about the interaction between the guys than whatever stuff they get.
I highly doubt it, people would've remembered it if they did.

Yeah, I haven't seen anyone send them the absurd shit that SBF got, although that fight stick was starting to get up there.
Jason had ordered that himself.

Oh wow, really? I thought the mailbag was stuff they got from fans. Whoops! Didn't catch that in the video.
Yeah, it's supposed to be "the office fight stick" since they didn't really have one before.

We should buy them an incinerator so they can easily get rid of the stuff they don't want.

There's probably some hippy dippy law about not setting shit on fire during a drought. Weaklings!

Jeff should use his industrial laser to do a premium feature of burning all the junk they get.

I don't think it's intentionally bad, it just takes an already dumb concept and realises how stupid that concept is and runs with it.
I think second film follows some guy who loses an arm and it's replaced with a zombie arm that allows him to raise dead Russian soldiers.
I guess I was thinking of this one but I could have sworn there was one where vinny or someone literally made a face to the camera like the fuck is this crap.
Giant Bomb Mailbag: Someone Else's Treasure Edition
"at some point we're just getting junk in the mail"
The Giant Bomb offices being inundated with our collective garbage is how the murder slingshot will become a reality.

Sincerity is often the difference between a cult classic and an unwatchably bad movie. There's something so relatable about a pet idea executed poorly on every level; it leaves a lasting mark on audiences because, unless you're an exceptional person, life is an unending string of spectacular failures. That should be celebrated.
You must really hate christmas.
ah it was only a joke. It is no worse than the people who buy porn stars stuff off their amazon wishlists I guess. I am sure Patrick really appreciated the Lost World script you clearly sent him

They did get that gaming PC that was probably worth a couple grand cause the dude had just bought an even newer more expensive one.

that would explain why he knew what the box was so fast. I thought it was just in the bottom of another box though, which was confusing.

Oh, if that prince had been able to send them the Titan cards that would have done it I think.
Poor Drew, never got to go on a speedway. Unless he did and I just never heard the end of that story.

Ha, I remember people freaking out about the dude who appears in the background for a few seconds before disappearing when this was first put up. WHO IS HEEEEEEE?!?!
You need to find the right balance. If you send them too much you're a creepy stalker, if you send them too little you're sending them your garbage.
The best way to avoid getting judged by random GB fans is to not send anything. You cannot lose if you do not play.

Cheap assholes who don't send in anything are the worst of all.

Drew's the worst at feigning interest in crappy mailbags. Not much of a future in acting, I'm afraid.
I was considering sending in some Sørlands Chips, which is the best Norwegian potato chips, some time ago. But then I remembered that someone had already done that.
And after that I was out of ideas.
I've got a good collection of Patrick Ewing basketball cards. Hmmmm

I have an old PC game I'm sure Vinny would like, but I don't think they can easily play old PC games at GBeast offices.

A 12 minute QL does not bode well for the content of a game.
