I would like to hear your opionon as a podcast without the sound of the game (the video doesn't bug me because I just play a game and listen, but the sound is irritating to say the least)
"the digestive biscuit goes soggier much slower than the oat biscuit" *smashes guy in head* "and the rich tea is a less thick biscuit" *shield bash* "it also has a bit more sweetness to it than the digestive" *decapitates*
I friggin love this. TB is definately my favourite youtuber. Not only is he really professional, he can alse talk about biscuits for 10 minutes and I bet he could ramble on even longer if he'd wanted to!
Man the mailbox and these 'Ask TB Anything' videos are exactly how I love to start my day. Screw the today show on NBC we need a TotalBiscuit morning show!
I love how he talks about such trivial stuff such as biscuits in such a serious, yet interesting way... I mean listening to him is just flat out interesting regardless of what he is talking about. THAT is hard to achieve and he should be proud of it.
TB, I love your mailbox because it is one of those shows where I can hear your thoughts on whatever, become more informed, and can do so without looking intently at the screen to see what's happening. I hope that if you do get rid of the mailbox, it (as you state) something like a gaming news show so I can continue to hear you over my homework.
I love the idea of a daily round up show.. BUT not at the expense of mail box series, truly it's the first thing I look at on your channel (which I have been following for quite some time now) and I hope you can still do it on top of what ever new things you might try...
Question 2 really helped me put my issues in perspective. I've come to the realization that I just cannot deal with the never ending barrage of ignorance, stupidity and negativity. It's bad for my health and it's a waste of my time. Trying to find balance is the hardest thing I face in my life.
As much as I'd miss the mailbox, a daily news roundup does sound very awesome. But no matter what you do, I know you'll do it well and that I'll watch it. Carry on, TB!
Gotta say I love the biscuit-review and the 1 big enemy vs. 100 small enemies- breakdown from the last episode... I would definitely like to see more of that stuff :)
TotalBiscuit talking about different types of biscuits with passion! I feel like I'm a part of a Terry Pratchett Discwold monologue... I LOVE IT! (sorry for my english, I'm trying to improve).
I'm not a frequent commenter but I felt like expressing my enjoyment of this particular series. I (like I assume most) listen to this and occasionally mailbox while doing other activities on the computer that do not require full attention. Anyway I would also just simply like to thank you for the many holes you've made in my wallet through your WTF is series/game coverage and laughs you and Jesse cause. in your terraria series. Subscribed back when you started your Cata coverage and been since.
I really enjoy the mailbox for the unique user questions and for your opinion on the latest news stories. I think it would be appropriate to split the two into separate shows, having a daily news show and doing The Mailbox a couple times per week when interesting questions arise.
I honestly haven't noticed any change in the Mailbox quality and i have been watching it for the better part of a year so good on you for filtering out the bad stuff! Also, don't cancel it (if ever you do) for a while, I have a question to ask!
TB you are brilliant! When you were talking about doing that news show I was thinking to myself "just make mailbox a segment on the news show". I love your content and news in general, and if i had both in the same place i would absolutely make it a must see!
Loving the show Mr. Biscuit! I especially liked how you addressed the biscuit question, though I have to wonder why you did not mention Jammy Dodgers. Truly wonderful biscuits, in my opinion! Also, the news show idea sounds very good! I tend to find myself woefully missing out on many new developments unless I go to sites such as *shiver* Kotaku. I wish you luck with your plans at the moment, and look forward to more 'Ask TotalBiscuit Anything'!
i would really much enjoy the kind of series you are talking about, i (as a consumer) dont really haw a lot of time to look at that kind stuff in my free time so i think i could be really cool to haw a show like that
For your gaming news daily? I tried planning something like this out once and the hardest part was getting a constant flow of news. Maybe get several researchers for several topics? I tried doing a daily news thing on forums once and I had to have someone dedicated to nintendo news, someone dedicated to MMO news, etc. If you want to report on stuff quickly, you have to dig really deep sometimes. Your dev interviews and first looks are a good example. Great content you can't get elsewhere.
My favourite biscuit is the Arnotts mint slice, commercially available from both Austrailan woolworths and coles supermarkets, it's a mint cream and chocolate biscuit covered in a thin layer of dark chocolate, the Arnotts company's original bakery is down the road from my house.
TB has made me look at things a lot more un-biased and objectively, I think he's improved my personality overall, being less angry at people for bashing things and being able to answer questions more logically.
when i hear TB talking about professional news i think of him sitting at a news desk with relevant screen shots in the background, him tapping a script of papers on the desk anyone else?
I love how your channel is the only channel that i respond to its ask for community involvement Because its FOR us. that is amazing. Doing more of these kind of things seems like an absolutely great idea cause this way you are able to talk about HEAPS more than just video games which don't get me wrong i love but i love how i have developed some sort of idea into how you thin about certain things. Anyways enough on what i love. I think what you said about a new show would be absolutely great.
chivalry, you can get it for $24 USD on their site and get in the beta; you will also receive a code to activate it on steam post-launch, the pre-purchase savings are killer. i would recommend it if it interests you at all
I really enjoy that you take the time to interact with the community, whether it is through the Mailbox, this or any other format. I think there has to be a show which focuses on community interaction. It doesn't necessarily need to be daily, I suppose, but it should be reasonably regular. That's my simplistic opinion. :)
Hey TB. Like the new addition. I was wondering (perhaps you can add this to your next Ask TotalBiscuit Anything video), what are your qualifications and/or educational background?
There is something I always wanted to ask: How many questions do you receive per day for the mailbox and how many are you actually able to read? I like to think that in those rare times when I send a question, it is interesting, as I always think them through in order to ask something different than what you usually discuss, yet I never seen those questions (mine and other questions on the "remote" gaming topics) pop up.
I subscribed for the "WTF" content and I'm not REALLY too much into the whole "watch non-subscription (in this case gaming) related material" etc.. But for some reason I spent 5 minutes listening to TB talk about the various flavors and intricacies of biscuits.. Hats off to you, sir.
Your ideas for a new gaming news show - that incorporates part of the mail box - is good. Perhaps the mail box part could be any really good and interesting questions that you happen to get whenever you happen to get them.
You could have both, Mailbox is just getting a little tired and probably needs some beds rest. Maybe putting it on a weekly or even a two week basis might be a good idea to try while replacing the daily content that it would take up with the gaming news daily.
I have a suggestion that could either be a nice face-lift for The Mailbag, or a good hook for a gaming news show, would be to bring in a guest once in a while to have a discussion based on 1 letter or 1 topic. You usually have extremely insightful responses to people's letters and to have someone that would off a counter point to you would be entertaining.
Just wanted to say that the audio from the game in the background is awesome, it sounds like an actual war going on especially with all the player callouts
We need a wtf is biscuit edition
I would like to hear your opionon as a podcast without the sound of the game (the video doesn't bug me because I just play a game and listen, but the sound is irritating to say the least)
I love how he talked about biscuits for 5 full minutes
This is definitely one of my now favourite mini-series. I'm really looking forward to the next ep.
The way TB expresses his feeling towards things is exquisite.
"the digestive biscuit goes soggier much slower than the oat biscuit" *smashes guy in head* "and the rich tea is a less thick biscuit" *shield bash* "it also has a bit more sweetness to it than the digestive" *decapitates*

TotalBiscuit talking about biscuits. This just got insanely meta.
- gets asked 10 second question - rambles on for 5 minutes about biscuits. I love this!
TB speaking in depth about about biscuits, GENIUS!! I dear someone to not smile hearing in depth biscuits
Loved the concise and accurate description of the best of british biscuits. Glad to know the states haven't dulled your tastes.
TB: "I want the ability to sit here, and not wear any trousers and commentate videos"
Words to live by.
Your amazing serious straight-facedness whilst speaking of biscuits for 5 minutes is the most beautiful thing about this video. You legend.
I love how he talks about such trivial stuff such as biscuits in such a serious, yet interesting way... I mean listening to him is just flat out interesting regardless of what he is talking about.
THAT is hard to achieve and he should be proud of it.
love how Totalbiscuit somehow makes mundane conversation such as, types of biscuit seem much more interesting then it is :)
I have never felt so classy as to when TB started talking about Biscuits! Rich learning about English cuisine!
TB, I love your mailbox because it is one of those shows where I can hear your thoughts on whatever, become more informed, and can do so without looking intently at the screen to see what's happening. I hope that if you do get rid of the mailbox, it (as you state) something like a gaming news show so I can continue to hear you over my homework.

This series makes me feel happy, I guess it's because you answer more positive questions than in the mailbox.
The transition to talking about biscuits was hilarious, keep up the good work TB.
Question 2 really helped me put my issues in perspective. I've come to the realization that I just cannot deal with the never ending barrage of ignorance, stupidity and negativity. It's bad for my health and it's a waste of my time.
Trying to find balance is the hardest thing I face in my life.
Did he just say 'higher end biscuits'? Wow, I'm already in love with this show.
Could you keep doing this series tb? Loving it so far!
This is the most indepth description of a variety of biscuits in a Q and A I have seen.
No matter how many haters there are, TB, there will always be more of us who love you and what you do!
I like the idea of a daily gaming news show presented in the usual high quality. I would definitely watch that.
How can one delve so DEEP into biscuit analysis? I suppose TB only lives up to his name. It is incredible.
As much as I'd miss the mailbox, a daily news roundup does sound very awesome. But no matter what you do, I know you'll do it well and that I'll watch it.
Carry on, TB!
TotalBiscuit talking about biscuits was absolutely hilarious!!!
TotalBiscuit giving a 101 lecture on biscuits....pure gold!
Gotta say I love the biscuit-review and the 1 big enemy vs. 100 small enemies- breakdown from the last episode... I would definitely like to see more of that stuff :)

TotalBiscuit talking about biscuit gave me a giant smile on my face :-)
I honestly haven't noticed any change in the Mailbox quality and i have been watching it for the better part of a year so good on you for filtering out the bad stuff! Also, don't cancel it (if ever you do) for a while, I have a question to ask!
As a Brit, that was the best biscuit answer I have heard and hit all the points.
A 5 minute discussion on biscuits.... I love it!
TB you are brilliant! When you were talking about doing that news show I was thinking to myself "just make mailbox a segment on the news show". I love your content and news in general, and if i had both in the same place i would absolutely make it a must see!
yeah i am, they actually sell them where i live. I just think it makes them sound more medicinal then a treat
5 min for a biscuit question, thats why I love listening to TB!
as a british man i must say i quite heartily enjoyed the segment you did on biscuits!
The Biscuit talk cracked me up! Its so funny to hear TB talking seriously about biscuits haha
Thanks for the video TB! Don't let the trolls get to you! I love your videos and I'm always super excited to see a new one come up in my feed!
Loving the show Mr. Biscuit! I especially liked how you addressed the biscuit question, though I have to wonder why you did not mention Jammy Dodgers. Truly wonderful biscuits, in my opinion!
Also, the news show idea sounds very good! I tend to find myself woefully missing out on many new developments unless I go to sites such as *shiver* Kotaku. I wish you luck with your plans at the moment, and look forward to more 'Ask TotalBiscuit Anything'!
We went from a serious gaming Q&A to a analyzation of biscuits, TB you rock x)
the talk of biscuits should be its own separate video that gets over a million views... it deserves it
Totalbiscuit on biscuits - Pure gold!
All I ever needed to know about British biscuits I learned from TotalBiscuit.
i would really much enjoy the kind of series you are talking about, i (as a consumer) dont really haw a lot of time to look at that kind stuff in my free time so i think i could be really cool to haw a show like that
i have the biggest smile on my face when tb starts going in-dept about biscuits and tea, i dunno why lol

I love the ideas of the new show, please continue with this, I would love to see 15min videos about gaming news
Loving the new show, keep up the good work!
I love this series you're doing! Please keep them coming :D
My favorite biscuit is obviously the TotalBiscuit.
Only Totalbiscuit could talk about biscuits for five minutes straight.
I have nothing to say other than TB has a truly awesome voice
My favourite biscuit is the Arnotts mint slice, commercially available from both Austrailan woolworths and coles supermarkets, it's a mint cream and chocolate biscuit covered in a thin layer of dark chocolate, the Arnotts company's original bakery is down the road from my house.
TB has made me look at things a lot more un-biased and objectively, I think he's improved my personality overall, being less angry at people for bashing things and being able to answer questions more logically.
Enjoying this new show, Mr. Biscuit.
I was just sat there shouting YES! at my screen during the biscuit discussion.
I like the response to the Yogscast question, TB's Magicka series with them is still one of my faves on this/that channel.
when i hear TB talking about professional news i think of him sitting at a news desk with relevant screen shots in the background, him tapping a script of papers on the desk anyone else?
Hearing TB meticulously describe chocolate hob nobs is way too funny
I love how your channel is the only channel that i respond to its ask for community involvement Because its FOR us.
that is amazing.
Doing more of these kind of things seems like an absolutely great idea cause this way you are able to talk about HEAPS more than just video games which don't get me wrong i love but i love how i have developed some sort of idea into how you thin about certain things.
Anyways enough on what i love.
I think what you said about a new show would be absolutely great.
I love his enthusiasm while answering the biscuit question :D...
such a good description of biscuits, i know think you totally deserve your name!
chivalry, you can get it for $24 USD on their site and get in the beta; you will also receive a code to activate it on steam post-launch, the pre-purchase savings are killer. i would recommend it if it interests you at all
The idea of a daily video game news show sounds great TB, especially since I don't have a lot of time to look at game news anyways.
The Total Biscuit Biscuit Guide
I really enjoy that you take the time to interact with the community, whether it is through the Mailbox, this or any other format. I think there has to be a show which focuses on community interaction. It doesn't necessarily need to be daily, I suppose, but it should be reasonably regular. That's my simplistic opinion. :)
now we have a biscuit guide for when we visit the UK... I like that
I re-watching Part 2 for the biscuit recommendations.
I like how you're more serious and have legitimate viewpoints TB. I watch you when I want to be intellectual.
"It's a vent - it's the heatsink of the internet." Wow, I've never heard a better description of 4chan.
Great show. I'd love to see more of this.
Hey TB. Like the new addition. I was wondering (perhaps you can add this to your next Ask TotalBiscuit Anything video), what are your qualifications and/or educational background?
I listened to a british dude in the US, talking about biscuits for quite some time.
I enjoyed it ^^
I really enjoied the biscuit guide ^^. I love these AMA videos you are doing :). Don't know why, but I just do
There is something I always wanted to ask: How many questions do you receive per day for the mailbox and how many are you actually able to read? I like to think that in those rare times when I send a question, it is interesting, as I always think them through in order to ask something different than what you usually discuss, yet I never seen those questions (mine and other questions on the "remote" gaming topics) pop up.

Hats off to you, sir.
Old biscuits go soft,
Old cake goes hard.
That's a good way to tell :)
please keep this show going!
I like the concept of a daily news roundup. I feel like there aren't any audio or video outlets that do this well.
Your ideas for a new gaming news show - that incorporates part of the mail box - is good. Perhaps the mail box part could be any really good and interesting questions that you happen to get whenever you happen to get them.
You could have both, Mailbox is just getting a little tired and probably needs some beds rest. Maybe putting it on a weekly or even a two week basis might be a good idea to try while replacing the daily content that it would take up with the gaming news daily.
Funny, I find myself instantly thinking about Peter Kay when somebody mentions the word 'Hobnob'.
I like listening to TB talking about a tasty biscuit for 5 minutes :)
Loved the in depth biscuit analysis!
The news bit idea sounds good. That kind of content is part of the reason I watch Mailbox anyway to be honest.
I have a suggestion that could either be a nice face-lift for The Mailbag, or a good hook for a gaming news show, would be to bring in a guest once in a while to have a discussion based on 1 letter or 1 topic. You usually have extremely insightful responses to people's letters and to have someone that would off a counter point to you would be entertaining.
Still love it
I lost it when you started talking about biscuits lol. How'd you get to be so awesome :D
Just wanted to say that the audio from the game in the background is awesome, it sounds like an actual war going on especially with all the player callouts
These are awesome, keep 'em coming !
I Loved the biscuit discussion TB, It made me laugh and want to experience a true "cookie".
And there was me thinking this was a new video, thanks for clearing that one up.
this AMA is great TB keep it up!
