Mailbag: Giant Bomb Mailbag: JAMMA Edition

Jeff's arcade board collection gets a significant boost thanks to this mailbag from Canadian Jon.

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

The reason why Toronto is referred to as "the 6" is because our area code is 647 and Drake has basically made the term popular.

I don't really listen to Drake, but I would have thought it was a reference to the area code 416, which is the original Toronto area code. 647 and 437 didn't come around until the mid 2000s I think.

Either way, my favourite nickname for Toronto is Tranna.

What's the name for the image still used to represent a video (Jeff staring at the board in this particular instance). I pretty positive there's a term for it other than "thumbnail," that the crew has pointedly referenced before, but it's escaping me at the moment..

Bad confrontational t-shirt story: I've got an alabama 3 band shirt that says "shoplifting 4 jesus" on it, cause that was the name of their latest album at the time. I was walking down the road when a lady tapped me on the shoulder and said "are you a christian?" when I said no she said "well you should be" in a disapproving voice and walked off.

I get weird looks pretty often when I'm wearing a shirt that just says "BOMB" on it.

Wow, that's a lotta arcade boards.

Is it safe to hold them like that? I guess they must be able to handle a fair bit of manhandling if arcade owners messed with them all the time.

1. Graph paper IS fun.

2. Jeff pronounced "Brooch" like someone who has only ever seen the word written down.

Jeff doesn't though. Jeff also doesn't claim that everything made after 1987 is terrible.

i think the acceleration of mailbags is just due to people trying to hasten the growth of Neo Neo Box City.

I'm sure it's been mentioned. But @jeff @danryckert it's called TDot because we around Toronto call it T.O.

So either "The T dot O" or T-Dot. Cuz the O is a dot.
