@Xymox: That's exactly how I did it, haha. And yep, was done over several days. Even if my internet is quite fast it was mostly a rather boring process, heh.

Pro-tip for future downloading ventures: JDownloader will save you an incredible amount of time.

I approve this message.

Updated first post with some Endurance Run bonus stats!

My Preference for Quick Looks is about somewhere between 30-50 minutes. More than that, and it seems like the guys are showing way to much footage of the game they're playing.

GiantBomb has got to be one of the few sites on the internet that can actually keep an audience engaged for, almost daily, hour long videos.

Thinking back on the fact that I have seen every quick look and Endurance Run, I have spent a lot of time watching videos on this site.

Good work on all the stats.

I fucking love statistics.

I'd appreciate an update with graphs.

Also, ironic that the longest QL is MoH:Warfighter.

Heh, well so much for that Warfighter Quick Look being the longest. I'm pretty sure that record just got shattered.

This is fantastic, thanks!

And the newest Sleeping Dogs QL is longer than the Diablo 3 beta QL.

Fucking swedes and their crazy statistics! Also, well done.

As one wiseduder once said.

Was there ever any quick looks that had to be taken down? I heard that there used to be a lost & damned quick look.

@cbk486 said:

@dawnofthesean: If you check out the beta version of the site, that quick look is there.

Yup it does in fact exist and is not as great as one would expect. Who am I kidding it's pretty great for what it is!

Nice work on all of those crazy statistics.
The P4 endurance run is confusing me though. If I remember right their final save clocked in at 99:59, not including a few deaths along the way. The given time is less than that.

for some dumb reason, it always slightly bugs me that the P4 endurance run can't say they played for 100 hours since they were so close to it

@Petiew: Probably a case of them leaving the game running while not recording. Like over lunch or when switching between episodes.

Total time spent Quick Looking Sleeping Dogs - 3:53:48

Vinny blowing the standards out again with that 2 hour 10 minute Euro Truck Sim 2 QL.

Now we are up to over two hours - when does it stop being a quick look. 130mins is getting on for Peter Jackson length.

Wow 344 in 2010, 343 in 2011, 342 in 2012

Thats pretty awesome, also the Deadly Premonition runs were within minutes of each other in total length? Statistics are pretty fun.

nice post :) stats are always nice

Shut your whore mouth! They can be 37 hours for all I care! If you've got your fill, stop watching! Don't take this from me! DON'T TAKE THIS FROM ME!

50 Cent Blood on the Sand quicklook is forever lost. I think I have a crude map where we could find it, but i'll need a helicopter and none of that WhirlWorld shit.

So I didn't dream that? There really was a proper 50 Cent QL? I used to think that, then just shrugged off the feeling thinking I was just mixing it with the video review.

Yay stats! but, 'High' quality? Dude, HD is where it's at.

Does anyone know of a way to browse quick looks (and other videos) in a simple list format? I've always found the grid to be a huge pain in the butt since you can only see a handful of videos at a time, and it's hard to jump around.

This was really fun to read. Thanks for putting this together!!!

I definitely remember watching it but i'm open to the idea of being crazy.

@Cincaid

Nice write up, thanks :)

That's crazy Brad, and Ryan actually beat DP faster than Jeff, and Vinny. I just assumed they were slower based on the number of videos

@Cincaid said:

So there you have it! All the quick look stats you'd ever want, at least until 2013 starts rolling out. All the quick looks in 'High' detail takes up 291GB of hard drive space, which I gladly offer. I might add that the total size of my Giant Bomb folder is 471GB, but that's with all the Endurance Runs, Subscriber Videos, and pretty much anything else I deem worthy of downloading.

...That's it? All of their content fits in under half a terabyte? Hell, I was worried it wouldn't fit in my NASbox, and now I know it won't even take up 1/20th of it!

Shit. Guess I really DO need to download my whole Steam library.

I did that. 1.8TB.

Endurance Run stats just make me want the next Persona-esque Vinny+Jeff adventure. Cmon Atlus, just make Persona 5 already.

wish there was a timeline feature on the new site, so i could look back at the quicklooks in order.

The one or two times I've seen the Giant Bomb crew talk about it they've categorically said it never happened and that it's being confused with the video review but I definitely feel like I remember it too. Maybe it's some mass-delusion, or maybe they're keeping us from it. CONSPIRACY.

Also, super bonus stat: The entire HD P4 Endurance Run is 97.2GB.

I'm not going to download all but I download my favorite, really all you need is the P4 ER, debating on watching it for my 3rd time in 5 months, it's just so amazing.

Hate to be the party pooper, but once those bombs start falling, the electricity will be one of the first things to go down! Better pack up with hundreds of everlasting batteries.

This would be the greatest and longest torrent ever.
