I know GBM doesnt occur that often, but since each episode is awesome, and it's difficult diggin throuh all the vids to find it, should the guys at GB give it its own tab in the Video section?

I don't find it difficult to find those videos at all but if a lot of other users do think that it's difficult then I absolutely think it should have it's own tab to make it a lot easier to find them. 
 
It just seems weird to me that clicking around on a website is difficult o.O

I feel like it should be easier to find videos in general on this site. But no, I don't really think the mailbag warrants its own tab, but there should be an easier way to find all of them.

I'd like to see that happen. I'm lazy, and don't want a shuffle though videos in order to get the the mailbag videos.
 
Yes, I'm that lazy.

Have you tried clicking "options", checking only "videos" and searching for "mailbag" in the search box at the top of the page?

Options? 
Just hit "Videos" and then over on the left side type in "Mailbag" in that search thingy.  
But again, lazy people don't like to use keyboards!

Isn't that basically what the Features tab does?

Yeah, the video page is a huge clusterfuck of videos. The two Endurance runs should have their separate pages, interviews needs to be separated from community events, I love Mondays/QOTW needs its own tab ETC

No, they should just fix the whole video thing, instead. The video search/categorization function on GiantBomb is confusing and cluttered.

What my autism has to do with this, I don't know. 
But if that makes you feel better about saying stuff like that, then be my guest :D 
 
But no, not "pretty obvious" smart ass :D 
I find people who find it "difficult" to click around on a website mildly retarded, and I'm the one who has autism.  
So that's pretty fucking pathetic seeing as you guys are supposed to be so much better than me :D

No, not really. Instead they need a tab for TNT or at least a page where I can access their JustinTV feed easily. I hate having to search for the database for a game featured on TNT and then go to the usermade list where he kindly listed and linked all the TNT sessions. I mean I could just bookmark it, but (not to sound like self entitled dick) I really shouldn't have to go through all that to access one of their biggest features.
 
On the topic of the features tab, I think I Love Mondays should get its own tab instead of mailbags, to lessen the amount of videos on that tab and making it easier to find the desired mailbag videos.

I'm totally down for a TNT tab.

No but the videos should be released much more frequently. I don't like how they've taken to storing up all this mail and then doing it all in one huge video. Sure I enjoyed the half hour long mailbag but I think it would be more fair to the people who send stuff in if they would highlight it soon after it comes in the door.

Sick burn? It wasn't a burn I just thought we were throwing facts out at random. 
Also, what does "dawg" mean? 
Oh wait, it's some kind of teenage-slang word you teenagers use a lot isn't it? Great, I'm being "teased" by a teenager for being born with autism. 
And people wonder why I keep calling the Giantbomb Community a bunch of pathetic teenagers.

It's not hard to find, just click the "Features" tab. The Mailbags are about as rare as any other videos for that section, so they're easy to find there.

I would agree with you if they had more but its a thing of whenever they have something important or a good pile of goods they do one which is not often enough for its own tab. searching videos should just be easier.
