Hey I've been wanting this sort of thing for some time, and I wonder if anyone else has thought about this:

I watch a LOT of Giant Bomb videos, but due to the longer nature of the videos on the site I usually can't watch a whole video in one sitting. I've always wanted a way to bookmark my place in a video so I can return to it later, instead of having to just remember where I was. I'm not sure if there's some crazy web development stuff going on with making this actually happen, but I would definitely appreciate a feature like this if it was implemented.

Any thoughts?

Am I really the only GB member who's thought about this? Like, for example on the recent 90 minute video where Jeff answers questions, I had to write down the time where I was, because if I left my chrome window open and paused, it would restart if I came back later.

I don't know... maybe it is just me

This is a great idea that I'd like to see implemented. I'd settle for just being able to leave a video on pause overnight. The way it currently works is that videos left on pause seem to time out and restart from the beginning.

Yeah this feature would be pretty cool, I'd use it if it was an option.

This is an awesome idea. GB videos have gotten longer as of late, and I can't watch them all in one sitting either, which usually leads me to watching the first ~30 min and then closing it, vowing to one day watch the rest (but I never do).

I mean, with all the user achievements and stuff they've put into the site since its inception, maybe a member-specific ability to save your place or allow a video to stay paused would be another good incentive to get people to buy subscriptions... especially because of how long the subscriber videos tend to get!

@SpikeDelight: Kind of like the proverbial pause button to end all pause buttons, right?

I can definitely see how thi'd be useful.

I'm still wanting a "Random Quicklook" feature which just plays random quick looks back to back. Yes I know about the site someone made to do this, but that's only one video at a time unfortunately :(. Just would love to relax in bed with some quick looks on in the background while doing other shit and not have to worry about changing videos every 20/30 minutes.

I apologize for resurrecting this, but is there an actual suggestions area where we can ask for this to be implemented? This problem just happened to me again, haha!
