This will be the thread for features you think would be cool to add to the paid subscription plan, so we don't have 100+ of them.
 
Let's see,
I think a Giant Bomb DVD box set of each endurance run for yearly subscribers would be pretty awesome
Live quick looks, so users can ask questions about the game while they are playing it.
 
That's all I can think of right now.
 
Fire away!

Separate message boards. I don't care if it splits the community apart, I like feeling special.

I would love endurance run DVDs as well, but that would most likely be illegal without approaching the publisher/developer of the game to get permission, and they would probably have to give a cut of the sales to them or something.  Also I would prefer quicklooks to not be live, I enjoy random banter about the game more than them answering questions.
 
I honestly don't know what they could do besides some merchandise (LUCHADEER PLUSH) and just more content/live shows.

Dave has already been through this and said he doesn't want to do something like that. It really wouldn't have any other benefit besides making you feel special.

@xobballox: Thanks to new HD quality downloads, you can make your own ER DVDs! Just get a program that will split each episode into a separate chapter and you're all set.

@JJWeatherman: Yeah, just saying that they wouldn't be able to make DVD box sets and sell them without consulting the developer and junk.

You should totally have your very own forum, where only you can post, cut off from everyone else.

Unless Brad is personally coming to every party I go to and photobombing all of my pictures, I refuse to pay.

I'd like to request the feature of a feature request box so we can request new features.

 I guess someone should try to actually answer the OP instead of derailing the topic. Let me think.
 

  • If/when they get a store going with more merchandise, allow the paid members to vote on what they want to get next. Like a vote on posters, mugs, or new shirts. Or if they just want to stick to shirts, then allow the paid members to vote on what design gets made next. As well, allow them to pre-order this stuff to make sure they get it first should the product be a limited run design or simply to make sure they get the size they want before it goes out of stock.
  • A video version of the Bombcast. It doesn't need to be anything fancy, just put a webcam on a table in the corner and record them talking. You can bill it as the directors cut Bombcast.
  • A newsletter or PM that is given only to subscribers telling them about any kind of upcoming events that they may be thinking about doing a head of time.
  • Subscribers only contests.
  • A monthly behind the scenes video where the guys just talk about there highlights of the month, and what they are looking forward to the following month.
  • A veterans program, where every 6 months to a year you subscribe to the site you get some kind of real world gift. Like if in two years time you have subscribed for a total of 12 individuals months you can opt to have the shirt that we got for a 1 year subscription sent to you. Then every year they can have some exclusive shirt/hat with a giant bomb/whiskey logo of some kind saying "I supported the site for X years and all I got was this stupid shirt." kind of thing.
  • Allow the subscribers to vote on the next Endurance Run and which two guys will do it. So maybe Brad and Vinny could do it, or Ryan and Jeff, or Drew and Dave!
  • A weekly drawing to give away all the games they reviewed or did quicklooks for that week. Possibly autographed by whom ever did the video, or the whole staff.
 
So ya, that's the best I could do spit balling off the top of my head.
