Been using the site for over a week now and I've been having a blast going through forums and watching old videos, but I just wanted to bring attention to a number of inconsistencies and organizational problems with the current RvB catalog available on the site. I've also wrote out some suggestions I believe could significantly improve the site's usability and completeness for the entire RvB series.
Issues:
1. ) Season 1, Episode 18 incorrectly plays Episode 19.
2.) Many episodes from the Blood Gulch Chronicles are incorrectly dated.
3.) Sponsor scenes from the Recollection are missing entirely.
4.) Season 9’s episode order is incorrect, and Episode 8 displays its YouTube thumbnail rather than the matching style used across the rest of the season.
5.) Several videos, such as the episodic release of the Chorus Journals, Season 3 Episode 45.9, Season 5’s alternate B and C endings, and the TRL video, are only found under "RT Sponsor Cut" and not in any RvB-related category.
6.) Drunk RvB is also listed under "RT Extras" rather than within an RvB-related category.
7.) RvB Zero’s trailer is listed as a numbered episode when it should be placed in the bonus features section instead.
8.) Most bonus features and certain miniseries' (Out of Mind for example) are either completely unorganized or entirely missing.
Suggestions:
1.) Consolidate the RvB content into three clear, curated channels:
* A channel for the main show, organized by saga (Blood Gulch, Recollection, Freelancer, Chorus, Shisno, Zero, Restoration).
* A channel for the PSAs.
* A channel for the Complete series of videos.
This would reduce the current sprawl of 11 channels and significantly improve navigation of the series and the greater site as a whole.
2.) Integrate canon trailers and miniseries more logically:
* Trailers for Seasons 6, 7, 11–13, and Restoration should be included in their corresponding season episode counts.
* Canon miniseries (Out of Mind, Recovery One, Relocated, MIA, WTaWTaW, Chorus Journals) should appear as distinct season-like options instead of being buried under bonus features.
3.) Ensure that side content appears in its appropriate places:
* Videos like Drunk RvB and the Chorus Journals should appear in RvB channels or be cross-listed in both their original locations and within the RvB series collections. This ensures fans don't miss out on gems like these.
4.) Restore the original episodic versions of the Blood Gulch Chronicles:
* Giving fans the option to watch either the original episodes or the remastered versions would help preserve the historical context of the show and better appeal to longtime viewers.
5.) Add Grifball-related content into its own dedicated channel:
* The episodic versions of the Grifball series are completely currently missing from the platform and deserve their own dedicated channel, similar to PSAs or the Complete series.
* The Season 11 PSA, Game Changer, which serves as the Grifball epilogue, should also be included in this collection.
6.) Expand parity with YouTube content:
* Many videos exclusive to the various YouTube channels (such as QvsA) are missing from the site. Including these would unify the RvB viewing experience and ensure fans don’t have to jump between platforms to access the full scope of content in RvB's catalog.
My love for RvB is unfathomable at times, and I'd just love to see the series be represented on the site as fully and accurately as possible. These adjustments would go a long way in making RvB more accessible for both new viewers and long-time fans, while also honoring its two-decade legacy.
If you made it this far, thanks for reading!
