Behind The Scenes: Endurance Run's 50th Episode

There's more drama then you'd expect in the golden anniversary of our Persona 4 endurance run.

Needing to make use of my recently purchased handheld camera, I thought it would be fun to shoot some behind-the-scenes footage of Jeff and Vinny's 50th Endurance Run episode. For those just catching up, our two helpless Americans have been battling the awkwardness of Persona 4, a somewhat unique Japanese RPG released for the PS2, each and every day. The 50th episode went smoothly enough except for one thing... the nearly 30 gig movie file got corrupted somehow in a transfer between Drew and Vinny's machines. What is shown in the video below is an absolutely real account of what happened that day. Ask what you will of us... for some reason, these things just happen. We're hoping things will work out in the end, but who knows.

I finally watched this video and it is truly an awesome video, I couldnt watch this video when it was new because I had some issues with the sound and I couldnt hear what anybody was saying and it was pissing me off

But I have now watched it and I just wanna say this again, thanks for the Endurance Run Jeff and Vinny, it was awesome and it made me a huge Persona fan

I always forget what Vinney looks like, I think he looks more like Ryan, but he's actually more like Brad.
This is one of my favorite things on the internet

I love the Endurance Run and it is the reason I joined Giant Bomb so I may post my gratitude for your humorous showings of this game I enjoy. After you complete this endurance run of P4 may I suggest the next long runner be P3 FES. I can already foresee many funny comments and moments if you do at least try a test run. But before we get to that just make sure you get the complete ending in P4 even if you have to cheat that small part.

I can't watch these as I intend to play the game at some point.

But when will the DVD box-set be released? You have extras already. I am imagining that the commentary for this is wicked!
