I feel like the ILM videos are Giant Bomb's most well worked feature in terms of video production.. Should that really be the case when all they do is explaining what the week is going to look like?

I've often heard they speak about how tight their time schedule is and so on so I thought maybe they can skip it entirely and just have it as a text, and use the time for more game coverage.

I like them, they show exactly what you need to know about the week ahead in a timely Monday loving fashion.

Vinny already said on one of the subscriber talk happy hours that cutting ILM would not leave extra time for another video feature.

Didn't know that, and I can see how that is.

Does anyone else hear Vinny's voice singing the "...and the rest of the week" line?

@david1890: word.  Live.  Learn.
 
Edit: there's a spellchecker that underlines red words you misspell.  It's not that hard to use it.

The videos are amusing and certainly have more personality than a text post, so I'm all for keeping them.

First of all, they are a pretty nice thing to have. Second of all, sure, it could be in text form, but I have to wonder how much time those actually take to put together. They're pretty short, and simple.

So I'm not the only person who's understanding of a misused word or misspelled word here and there, but feels like wan't when you mean want is something that's easily avoided?

We had this debate adnauseum back when they were transitioning to this new, current format. IIRC, the consensus was that most people wanted a some-what produced video rather than just an article or those half-assed videos from early this year (although people would have taken an article over those). Also, as some one else mentioned, during a non-standard Happy Hour in a conversation on what to drop to start new features, Vinny mentioned that ILM really doesn't take up that much time (the second easiest thing they do next to Quick Looks), and that not doing them wouldn't open enough time for something else.

But anywho, to answer the question; I <3 I Love Mondays!

Yeah because as we all know - if you misspell want, you haven't lived. Also thanks for the spellchecker tip, I've lived all my life thinking it was too hard for me to use.

Wait, does the spellchecker only mark the RED words I misspell? That's kind of crappy... and 'word.' should be capital W.
