Mailbag: Giant Bomb Mailbag: Kim Jong-il-dition

Fake propaganda, Muscle Milk, and novelty sodas abound!

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

I'm pretty sure the Korean propaganda is for the game Homefront, a shooter where Korea invades America. Crazy little fact, the game takes place in my hometown: Montrose, Colorado.

Kickapoo is awesome, it's essentially Mountain Dew.
 
Also, sodas with cane sugar and sediment from fruit pulp or root are where it's at.

Ugh, the premise of a North Korean invasion makes no sense.
 
China, maybe.
North Korea, never.

If this does in fact turn out to be Freedom Fighters 2, there's a very good chance my undergarments will get stained.

I love how Jeff turned that weird Korean business into a fucking Sliders reference. Hell, I think that was the pilot, too.
