First off, sorry if this has been posted about before. I did try and search but... well, anything with "video" or "download" in the search field was never going to result in anything helpful, right?

I'm visiting relatives soon. They live in an area with terrible internet (so much so that streaming at 360p is out of the question) and I was thinking of going premium to download some Giantbomb stuff to entertain me in the evenings. The upgrade page mentions "Download in 720p directly through iTunes," but I was wondering if downloading directly from the website was also an option? I don't really want to use iTunes...

@creepingdeath0: Yeah, you can download 720p, decent bitrate video files right from the site. On each video's page, there's a download link and you'll be able to choose the HD option. I'm surprised it even emphasizes the iTunes download. I don't think it is commonly used.

A few subject groups of past and present you may hit is: Happy Hour, Breaking Brad, 2-3 vid run of CAH, 3-4 vid run of the Twisted Shadow Planet lantern runs, Pathfinder Table Top, Loading our last souls, Thursday Night Throwdown, Spookin with Scoops, Unprofessional Fridays, and the set of yearly PAX panels and the few endurance runs.

Careful with HD downloads, 2-2.5 hour vids tend to run 3.5-4 gigs in size each. Be mindful of datacaps and whatnot.
