Has a nice ring to it dosent it?
I think its a great choice because it's a game I may never get to play (sadly) due to licensing issues and I dont have a Super Nintendo.

First off, what's an endurance run? Second, why is Earthbound a good candidate for such a thing? Third, didn't like Earthbound.

Brundlefly speaks.  How's the Criminal Intent gig?  Do they let you regurgitate your food on the set with the other flies?

God damn you, this was what I was gonna send into the BombCast for their Retro QL. I think its a great idea because its a game I believe many people have heard and know of but very few have actually played (a similar situation to persona 4 unless I'm mistaken). It really is a great game. Also, if you don't have a SNES just buy the cartridge from somewhere, download a ROM, then play it on an emulator.

Criminal Intent is okay. I dont get a lot of jobs lately so I take what I can get. At least they are very understanding of my half-fly-handicap.

First off, don't ask stupid questions. Second, because it was an amazing RPG with a great story and its share of humorous occasions to keep the endurance runners from falling asleep. Last, have you even played this game or were you to busy in cocoron land

I'd rather see them play games that are known for they're extreme length. Games like persona, that they would never have time to play outside of work. I'd love to see them take a Quick Look Back at Earthbound, though.

What.

Pure text would be boring as fuck
Two, don't be so fucking rude. Maybe he isn't a Persona 4 fanboy like you seemingly are. Give it a break.

Third: Pokey ;-;

Yeah, I would prefer my Endurance Run candidates to also have some voice acting and cutscenes... not just them scanning over reams of text.

First off, I've only heard the term here, and Google couldn't give me any clues, so I find it to be a legitimate question. Second, there's also a high amount of A to B gameplay and a standard battle system that screws up the one lone feature that separates it from others. Third, I like other games besides Cocoron. Hell, I can name 3 game that are better than it.

lol where in my sentence did you pick up P4 fanboy? If you got thatfrom endurance run then you obviously don't get the idea of what an endurance run is.  All they are doing is testing how long they can endure to play a game so long, the meaning isn't that hidden.  Blunt, not rude blunt. Pure text? Heh you haven't played earthbound either.

In all honesty, it is kind of difficult to be on this site and not know the term "endurance run." I suggest watching more videos.

The Endurance Run is Jeff and Vinny playing through Persona 4 in a series of videos.

If that's the case, I'd recommend Lost Odyssey. That way, they could make jokes about how everybody in that universe has horrible fashion sense, or how you can tell if your adviser is evil (hint: mustache!).

I see your point but really is the voice acting what really doing anything? Mostly they skip over it and the voices we hear are mainly Jeff and Vinny.

Yep, glitchified.
When this thread first began, I hadn't been here for that long. Sure, I formed this account early in the days of Giant Bomb, but I didn't come in until early April. Plus I have this policy against watching games I haven't beaten, as I don't want to spoil the game should I play it later in the future.

Yes, I have, I'm older than 11. It's quirky, sure. But with no real voice acting, we'd just be listening to them read text.

Thrilling.

Furthermore I like the idea of Lost Odyssey.

For Jansen alone.

Vinny already does read a lot of the not voice acted text in Persona 4. Not all of it is voice acted, so that point isn't really applicable. Besides, I'm sure that if you've managed to make it to this place we call Giant Bomb, then you can read.

Admittedly, though, the idea behind the "endurance run" is to endure through an incredibly long game. EarthBound doesn't really meet this requirement, although it would still be interesting to see Vinny and Jeff's commentary on the game (which is what makes the Persona 4 endurance run worth it).

I never said that it wasn't. I think that an EarthBound (or an EarthBound Zero) endurance run would be awesome.

We don't even know if there will be another ER; Jeff & Vinny will be lucky if they make it through the Persona 4 one alive. xD
