I just wanted to let you guys know, so you can congratulate Brad, that his 100th Quicklook Start to Death record... was also a new record for the quickest death, aka "pulling a Brad," in his Quicklooks history.

In the Quicklook for Nexiuz, Brad dies a mere 22 seconds into the video, after being shot at close range by his (I assume, now) arch nemesis, "ruben5298."

Fabulous.

He tries to play it off as if nothing really happened... and that's fine. I'm sure to him, and all of the viewers of Brad's Quicklooks, death has become so commonplace that both he and the other viewers have simply become desensitized to it.

With this, I would like to take this truly momentous occasion to announce to the you, the Giantbomb community, that I am officially retiring the list.

It's had a good run, but the joke has finally, I think, played itself out. Plus, it's getting a little tedious to keep it up to date with so many damned titles on it.

I'd like to thank the community, specifically the nearly (at present) 746 readers who voted for the list... and to the 6 users who voted against it. You can go to hell.

Brad, by the power 'vested in me. I hear by release you of this curse, so that you may continue to game freely, in sickness and in health, and that you will no longer fear death during you future Quicklook forays.

Thanks... as they say, for the memories.

Thank you for your hilarious work.  I remember when you first started it way back, and it was quite amusing even then. 
 
Also, seeing drunk Brad on a couch in your main list reminds me that I should watch the Age of Booty thing again.  That thing was hilarious.

So did I. It's refreshing to see the classics again sometimes.

I wonder why he has started dying progressively sooner as the list goes up chronologically from first to last

This list made me remember the Shadow of the Colossus Quick Look. Damnit. It makes me a bad person, but I still want Brad to break a foot over that travesty.

@Brendan: Thank you. The decision to take it down grew easier more recently. But the hight definitely had to be when Brad wanted an early death in Limbo to be stricken from the record because it was "for example."

It doesn't matter either way. With Brad leaving, the list wouldn't have any updates incoming anyways.

As much as i hate to see this go away, i do see the Brad Hate getting to be kinda old, and as much as i think this was done in good fun I could see this getting really played out.

Truly one of the best lists on the site, definitely one of my favourites, thanks for making it.

Also, this gave me an idea to make an infograph based on Brads Quick Looks deaths - http://cl.ly/0t19470z1m101u1c4647

This is as much a part of the site as Quick Looks themselves; thought it'd just go on forever, and am sad to see it go. But I'll always have "pull'n a Brad" in the back of my mind when I die in a video game <3

Then you don't watch enough live events, where the average time between two people saying it is about 8 seconds.
