Anybody have a PAL VCR?

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

@cheetoman: If quests still existed you'd be real disappointed right now.

Curious to hear what Jeff thinks of some of those hot PAL tapes. Hopefully we'll have a special Bombcast segment for them. Never was a big fan of Bo Selecta, but it's definitely in the wheelhouse of a Tim and Eric buff.

Also, Bill Bailey's been in all sorts of shit those guys will recognize, up to and including an inexplicable ad campaign for No Man's Sky.

YEP! I had a Vic-20... "The friendly computer!" And had a tape drive. They are totally audio tapes and the tape drive is essentially a local modem for those who remember dialup.

Axl Rose's real name is William Bruce Rose, Jr. Of course Axl Rose is an anagram for oral sex.

I actually really loved that Nigel Mansell's F1 game. It did a lot of really neat stuff and looked great at the time.

RIP Don S. Davis aka Hammond of Texas on Stargate SG-1. Just watched an episode with him and Bratac actually called him that for the first time in it I believe :)

The Game and Watch that they have there, I'm fairly certain is the one given away by club nintendo when that still existed. You can see the club nintendo seal on the top. It wasn't one of the rarest items that was ever available on the site but it was (at least for the american club nintendo) one of the more expensive in terms of points. All and all a neat collectable.

Some pretty decent comedies there, loving Drew's Manor Racing cap.

I always wanted Drew to watch the MGS2 Documentary that came with the European version, that is probably the version they put into the greatest hits? It really opens your eyes up to why that game is what it is and makes you respect it a bit more.

It feels wrong to me that Giant Bomb doesn't have their own office area, walled off from other employees.
