Do you feel obligated to watch every video GB puts out?

There are days when I get home from work or school, log onto this site, see that they've uploaded two or three new QLs, a mailbag episode, maybe an archived TNT or other live event that I missed, and think "Fuck, now I have all these videos to watch and not enough time in the day."

Maybe it's a weird OCD thing or maybe I'm trying subconsciously to get my money's worth as a paid subscriber (let's not get any further into that, though), but I feel weird if I don't watch all the video content on the site each day.

Yeah, I do watch everything, excluding trailers and the like. I need to satisfy my Vinny quota everyday or else I die.

I don't have time to watch all the videos anymore. I just watch the ones I am actually interested in.

P.S. I was a subscriber until it ran out about a week ago. Didn't even notice it ran out until yesterday. I should probably get on that....

I watch the original content, especially the QLs even if its a game I wasn't interested in it at first cause it lets me see new games that i might find neat, but outside of that I don't watch nearly any of the trailers they put up. Game trailers just don't do anything for me.

Not really, I'll watch them but I don't need to watch them. They're just entertaining enough to watch. At least worth watching compared to what's on TV

Not anymore. When I had first discovered this site, I made sure to watch almost every QL or other video the day they came out. Weekends were disappointing because there were no new GB videos for me to watch. Now, I'm too busy and I'm not sure I'm enjoying the QLs as much as before.

Nah, school and work cuts down my selection.

And even then the youtube quality has really put a wet blanket on it. My next paycheck when I get the year subscription just so I can watch the videos again I'm sure I'll be watching a lot more.

I don't watch all of the TNTs, and I rarely watched the Happy Hower, but I love all of the original and behind-the-scenes stuff.

I watch pretty much all the non-Quick Look videos. I check out almost every QL but I rarely finish watching them unless it's a game I'm interested in.

I sometimes get behind, but generally I do watch everything they put out (excluding review videos and trailers and such). Same for Tested.

I generally watch everything except for TNTs unless it's for a game I actually care about. I find that now that I'm beginning to lose interest in a lot of the anime that have been coming out recently I have more time to watch other stuff and that of course includes GB videos.

Obligated? Not quite. I watch every quick look, because I find them entertaining. Also, I have a dual-monitor setup, so having a video playing while I do something else is a pretty common thing for me. Even if the video is an hour long, it's less of a commitment for me than it would be if I had to actually watch it exclusively, so I always watch it. Same thing for the TNTs, subscriber stuff, and other weirdness.

I rarely watch video reviews, since I usually find them redundant. I almost never watch trailers and the like.

"Obligation" is not the word I'd use... but I do watch 95% of the original content...
 
Yes, that includes all the intern stuff... Hey, hey! I can stop any time I want... Don't look at me like that!

I used to, but not anymore. They pump out so much hour+ content these days, it makes watching all of it ridiculous. At some point I was just weened of the "watch everything" schtick.

I try to (except for TNT's), but slowly I'm changing and skipping the stuff I'm not interested in. But there is always that "what if I miss out finding out about a cool game" part of me. Although I guess lately that would be Skylanders and there's no way I'm spending so much money on a single game.

I don't watch all the trailers, but I watch pretty much all of the original content. I agree with you that sometimes I'm like "Shit, too much stuff to watch!" I just hate the feeling that I'm missing stuff.

All quick looks and TNTs. I watch reviews for games I'm interested. Though I do stay up until 4 everynight.

At this point in my life I have absolutely no obligation to watch all the videos that are released. There once was a time when that was not the case, though university has changed that. There are days (even consecutive ones) when I don't visit the site at all. I know, kill me.

I try but sometimes I'll be watching a quick look for a game I have no interest in and think 'It's not worth it' and shut it off.

Anything related to Quick Looks, TNTs, special events, or any trailer that catches my interest. So yeah that is a lot of videos to watch. Yet most of the time I still find time to read manga, watch anime, and most importantly play at 4 to 6 hours of videogames a day, and yes I do in fact work (at a retail store) as well as go to collage.

I wonder if that's a good or bad thing. For now I will think its the best thing ever, of all time.

I give everything a shot, but if its a video of a game I don't care about and I'm not finding the conversation funny/interesting I just quit out.

I kinda do feel like that. I watch every QL, most of the TNTs (exceptions beign games I'm not interested at all or games I rather see for myself) and everything subscriber/behind the scenes related.

Writing it out makes me realize how much I love this god damned website.

I used to, and I still try to watch it all, but it's become difficult lately. Actually, it's become impossible since I'm not a subscriber. Even with the free stuff though, their output has Increased to such an extent that if I try to watch everything, I can't keep up. Not that I'm complaining though. Too much Giant Bomb is a good problem to have.

Yeah, sort of. I don't want to miss anything and I usually forget videos I pass by and plan to watch later. Would be nice if there was some sort of option to backlog videos I want to check out another time.

I do this too; usually while I work. Though, I sometimes get too zoned out while working that when I hear the GB crew laughing at something I stop what I'm doing, go back and watch that moment.

I missed almost a month worth of videos when I was in China and I don't think I will ever watch all of them but I can live with that.

I don't feel I need too, and I usually don't watch them as they come out, but I'll watch some when I'm bored and eventually I see them all ^^. I've had some connection issues for a few weeks though, the backlog of videos has grown significantly.

This, unfortunately. I'm more selective these days though. I used to watch almost all QLs in their entirety, even for games I had absolutely no interest in, and kind of suffer through it. But lately, if a QL is getting boring and not holding my interest, I just shut it off. I know this is a somewhat unpopular opinion, and some will just consider me a troll, but Patrick has made that much easier for me.

Not obligated, but I do watch everything eventually. It's not always the same day, but every bit of original content that they've done I've seen. There have been bits of live shows I missed that weren't put up, but I always saw most of them.
