They're actually making good use of the knives.
If the gift sent by people here was much bigger it would have seemed creepy too.
Didn't those knives come from an evidence locker? That's the best kind of gift.

Wasn't that the one with corporate mode kish?
I was just fixing to say that a week ago Jeff was in a penguin costume, Rorie was feeding Murray a Japanese banana, and Drew was showing us his vacation.

All gimmicks to distract from the terrible show, although Drew's vacation photos were somewhat redeeming.

UPF last week was good (no clue what your expectations are if you're calling it terrible), but yeah it's mostly sucked for a while now.
Does it really bother you that much that I have an opinion on the matter?

Who knew a $1,000 PC would produce this much salt, why don't you guys just like relax and talk about something else, like that time Matt Rorie feed Mary a banana backwards, remember that?
The person who sent them the computer was probably thinking they did something nice to show their gratitude for the site. I wouldn't want to make them feel bad about doing what they feel was a good deed or a showing of thanks. It might come off a little creepy to someone on the outside but to the sender it was most likely nothing but good intentions. It was harmless.

Never knew how gross Underground 2 was, only played bits of the first and Thug for the open world games.
So should I not send Giant Bomb this $10,000 in unmarked bills I got in a drug deal? Should I like, hire $10,000 worth of call girls and have them go there? Have an actual dear carcass stuffed and adorned in lucha libre gear?
Cause this 10 large is burning a hole in my pocket and I want to support my favorite video gamesmen.

Do this and get them to demo the n3ds.
I bet you could get a pretty cool guest to randomly show up on Unprofressional Fridays one week for 10 grand.
The Comedy Button once said if anyone gave them $100,000 they would go anywhere and perform a show under whatever circumstances so desired. They later rescinded their comments out of fear of some crazy rich fan having dark designs on them. Methinks Giant Bomb would have to be wary of similar proclamations.
Pauly Shore x Giant Bomb could probably (finally) happen for a lot less.
Hell, for 10 grand I could hire "Rowdy" Roddy Piper and Ric Flair to have a glass bottle street fight live on UPF.

Just finished Mario Party Party 2.
The conclusion was just so satisfying.

Stop spending your own money however you choose because it will upset a few people.

At least they don't have to do it with a key now.

What ever happened to the gadgetgangster?
In order to keep UPF interesting, I think they need to do more stuff besides playing games and talking. Playing pogs, showing WWF cards, reading the Space Jam book....these are all things that made the show great.
Also, it'd be great if Jason channeled Vinny and kicked up the dumb Tricaster stuff.

I still mostly enjoy UPF but I think I did enjoy it more when it first started and it was stuff like Vinny playing Castlevania or Ryan on A Dogs Life.

The computer isn't so weird. GB has had viewers on oil rigs, in pretty much all world governments and even involved in aerospace. Not so strange that someone is loaded enough to freely give away computers like that.

Idk a PC with an AMD processor and a 660Ti is probably not worth more than $400 atm. So it's not like someone essentially sent them $1000.
Exactly. And that pc isn't worth 1k anymore either. Even if it was, who cares? Sending that stuff to GB isn't hurting anyone.

Well someone did give Ryan breast milk. >_>

Oh erm....might wanna skip the next mailbag then.
I told you to not save all your underwear from the last five years and send it to GB. When will you learn?!
Holy shit, that part during the jumprope minigame when it's alternating between Jeff and Dan's faces...comic gold.
Honestly I would pay for a Premium if GB just made these condensed Best-of videos themselves. I don't have the time to watch their content in full; it's just way too much content with no editing.

Dan should make more cooking with Dan videos.

I thought this latest gifted PC was just a bit weird, not necessarily creepy. The Patrick one was awesome and actually helpful. This one wasnt really needed and you could tell Drew was just trying to be more polite than anything. Plus maybe it was just me but actually mentioning how much the PC cost in the letter screamed "look how much this thing cost im sending you guys!"

You starting from the start?
Nah, I'll skip most of the parts I watched. I'll rewatch some of it though, like Lang playing Velvet Sundown. Those segments were, as Lang would say, godlike.
