    In the glorious words of our hero, the legend, Sean Coonce: 

      if you want a new feature, etc...... can't promise it'll get done - but it its a good idea I can guarantee that it'll go up on the board.

    I'm going to make a constructive suggestion.
     

    OK

    so when i'm watching one of the awesome Giantbomb videos, eventually that video is going to be end and I can go back to vaporising ants with a magnifying glass. However seeing as the videos are usually linked to the relevant wiki page, it would be real nice to be able to simply click on a related video once the current video has finished playing. At the moment you get offered a selection of recent videos, but videos that are in no way related. These options are already available beneath the video you are watching and on the left side of the screen in the list of videos, so they don't really need to be repeated in the actual player. For people who don't read so good, here's where I think the related videos should go:


     
    So for instance, if I finish watching a Red Steel 2 Trailer I should then have the option of watching the Red Steel 2 quick look. At the moment I have to click through to the Red Steel 2 wiki and then click the videos tab. That's an extra 2 clicks!! Clearly this state of affairs cannot be allowed to continue.
     
    This would be especially great for sequential videos like the Endurance Run. If a person was batshit enough to go back through and watch every episode of the endurance run (I did this) they would have to re-navigate the entire list (that shit is 5 pages long) of episodes every time they wanted to watch the next video. It would be crazy easier if there was simply the option to click "next episode" or "previous episode".
     

    What do you guys think?

     

    ALSO: Snide, please don't fucking kill me :(

     
    Thanks For Reading

    All too true Sweep. And after a P4ER video ends I think it should show the next 2 videos and the very previous one.

    That's an excellent idea. 
    It's always been just one of those things that I've "dealt with" on Giant Bomb, but since you brought it up, you're right.

    Although I do agree with you on where related vids should go

    I think your links are broken.
     
    I think that idea is pretty dumb, I personally like having the most relevant videos of all that have been recently added a few clicks away from me. I don't see why checking a game's wiki page is so much trouble. There is more important stuff they should focus on.

    So it does. Weird. It didn't do that when I tried it before posting this blog. (fuck)
     
    But the next / previous episodes for stuff like the endurance run or TANG would still be awesome.

    I can't say I necessary agree with you, because let's face it, I never watch the videos. 
    However, I would like to say that the writing style in this blog is phenomenal and made me LOL.

    Hey, instead of something new, let's go back to what we had.
     

     I remember when this tab meant something.

    Let's take away features and add new ones. Yeah, that's fucking great.
