I'm not sure if I'm imagining things or not, but it seems there's less awesome stuff for non-subscribers. Before Meaty Banana, there wasn't a mailbag for a long time. Looking back through the videos, it's almost exclusively TNT and Happy Hour for almost two months, but then going farther back, there's the question of the week stuff, more mail bags and neat little videos of the crew. It seems their Quick Looks are becoming more frequent, Klepeck is doing great with pumping out news and reviews are a-plenty over the last couple weeks, but I kind of miss the variety of videos there used to be. 
 
Am I imagining things, or is this actually happening?

The turgent minotaur cock that is E3 and the combination of a lot of website redesigns probably has a lot to do with it.

Personally, I'm all for more Quick Looks. Someday it would be nice to see something like TANG come back though.

I guess so. I might be the weird, but I actually preferred the shorter Quick Looks they used to record. It just seems to drag after 30 minutes... I still enjoy them all, I just stop watching before they're finished. :P

The longer the better for me (TWSS). When I see a 40+ minute mark when I start a Quick Look I always get pretty excited.

I do wish they did more mail-bag type videos of them just sitting around in the office talking about shit.  Those are some of my favorite videos.

Yeah, I recently watched all of the TANG videos a couple months back. It's stuff like that I miss. Hopefully the videos start picking up again, because I don't have enough spare money to become a subscriber, as much as I want to. 
 
Turgent minotaur cock. . . Nice.

Understandably. 45 minutes+ is a long-ass time to watch some internet dudes play games. Occupies my time though, which is nice.

To prevent any more "more Mail Bag" requests, let me throw this into the mix: they actually have to receive mail to do a video.

I'm not specifically requesting more mailbags or anything (if it seemed that way it's because I just watched like four old mailbag videos, so it's on my mind). Just a shame to see the list read like "TNT, happy Hour, TNT, Happy Hour, TNT. . ." etc.

not really, 2 live shows a week seems pretty solid to me. TANG was a lot of fun though. Mialbags are O.K. but usually just because they are BSing and having fun with it.
