Persona 4 has finally ended, TANG has wrapped up, and The Matrix Online has been disconnected (puns are hilarious). So what is Giant Bomb's next recurring feature that will have me anxiously awaiting a video post?
my ideas:
1. Classic Quick Looks: I know this idea has been suggested, but let me reiterate if I may. Once a day there would be a 20 minute video on some classic game, no later than the original XBOX (or whatever. Let's not argue over details) These should last about 20 minutes (hell, that may be enough to finish some older games, or watch Brad die a lot on some of the more challenging NES games)
2. Office videos: I know you guys have work to do, but maybe take a list of subjects and make each member of the Giantbomb staff comment for a minute to two minutes on the subject. It wouldn't take much time, but it would make each of the crew wear pants that day. (unless the video is shot from the waist up.) Topics could range from the MW2 PC protest to your favorite place to eat (Mike's in Rhonert Park)
 
Both of these things have been done, I am just asking that they be done on a regular basis (daily). Give me a reason to be excited about jumping on GiantBomb. 
 
So people of the forums, I submit to you, what are your suggestions for a regular feature?

That would take a lot longer to do and we would get a lot of old old games, I guess that coud be a bad or a good thing actually

This won't happen for one reason, and one reason only: 
 
TANM is unpronounceable (Yes, that is a word). Seriously, try saying TANM. Go on, try it.

I think we should have something set up where certain people on the site who have shown they contribute and have the time and patience to make daily content are voted in by the community to submit content that would be featured on the site.
 
The people who wish to do this would submit a video showcasing what their "Tang" Or "ER" would be and than the community would pick the favorite and that would be a new piece of daily content!

@Antipunk217: They already have the Quick Look Throwbacks

EDIT: Nevermind, didn't read your last line.
 
One feature I think would be cool to see, but it couldn't be a regular because of time, would be developer office tours. I don't know how open certain companies would be to the idea, but game developer's offices are usually pretty cool and I think it would be fun to see where some of our favorite games are made and the people behind them. I mean EA Tiburon has a damn ballpit in the middle of their conference table.

I just did. It came out as Tan-'em, and all we need now is one of those cute and evil suns from Super Mario.

I like the idea of commenting on breaking news as it happens in some kind of regular video. Hearing what the guys think about the ups and downs of the industry is interesting on the Bombcast, but I think that "heat-of-the-moment" reaction would be even better.

Achievement ranking (not to be confused with grading), and website achievements would be nice. If were only talking about video content then This ain't no Movie does sound like a good idea.

I like the idea of a quick look throwback, maybe on a weekly basis, or twice a week. TANM (Tan'em) sounds like a good idea as well but there are a LOT of those. See Spiderman 1, 2, 3...etc. Then you go into TANCB (This Ain't No Comic Book) with superhero games...so I don't know.

Make either the M or N silent and you got yourself either TAN or TAM.

i really like the Quick Looks where they get all the guys together and play those family games like Buzz or Price is Right.
 
They should have a weekly thing where they play those games more than once and call it "Family Bomb Night", or something like that.

Agreed.  The Quick Looks with 4 or more of them are the best. The Buzz one was absolutely great, not to mention nearly an hour long!

Yeah, hearing what the crew think about the big news would be awesome. It would have to be short and sweet, though, leaving room for longer discussions on the bombcast.
 
This, and keep filiming awesome stuff that happens around the office.

I want another Endurance Run, but let's try to stay away from Modern Warfare 2 since most everyone has played it (not me though D: ).

I like the idea for more quick look throwbacks because they've been cool, however I'm not so sure about the office videos. If Jeff, Ryan, Brad or Vinny have an opinion on something to express they can it express it on the Giant Bombcast where there can actually have a more productive and organised discussion about the particular topic and I think that's the way it should stay.

I'm with this man. However, as to WHAT they should do an endurance run of, I'm not sure. Someone mentioned Dragon Age once and I decried it, but looking back on what I've played so far, there would definitely be a LOT of laugh out loud moments if they ran through Dragon Age in an endurance run. The only bad part is that they'll probably get sued for doing it.

TANC. This aint no comic. 
Ryan reviews movies based on comic books. I know its not a great fit but I think it would be fun to watch and it would last a while.

It's the holiday season, guys. Their features are game coverage. When the GoTY awards and 2009 are done with, then they'll probably Endurance Run another odd and long game that can hold their attention for 100 hours. 
As for Ryan, we can only wonder.

-more bombcasts (i get giddy when theres a special second bombcast sometimes in a week)
-this aint no movie sounds pretty good actually
-please more 4 player quick looks... left 4 dead 2 anyone?
-longer quicklooks, or make the "endurance look" a proper feature. I dont want long quick looks of every game, but some of the big ones deserve more than 20minutes
-return of the endurance run, with something other than a rpg
-if it isnt already, make the "mail call" a regular feature (there wasnt any last week for example)
-a "today in the office" feature would be cool, show us whats going on around there, what youre playing / reviewing. I know a lot of stuff is embargo'ed, but still
 
oh and of course...
 
-more drew!
 
most of these arent even new i know, i just want more stuff with the crew :P

You could name those 4 player quick-looks "Party Looks". 

But I doubt they'll do anything this for the next month or so. We can always wait until next year, but then there are MORE games coming out, and quite a few good ones too.

That should be a QOTW feature for people who live in the San Francisco Bay Area only to submit a vid as to why they want to kicked in the balls.
  
Or do a weekly comedy sketch by doing an impression of a well known person in the game development industry....
