To help celebrate the one year anniversary of Giant Bomb, I thought that I might tell the tale of my greatest experience on the site, which spans two weeks, 3 different rooms of my house and many consecutive hours of Jeff and Vinny's voices in my head, including in my dreams and even when I'm not watching the videos.

As you all know, Jeff and Vinny have been working of this feature called Endurance Run: Persona 4, where they play through the aforementioned game on a daily episodic basis. As you also know, they celebrated their 100th episode a few weeks ago. Now, prior to the Monday before the week of the 100th episode(11 days before), I had not watched a single episode of the Endurance Run. Not one. Zilch. Notta.

Your probable reaction to me not previously watching a single ER episode.

You may be wondering how this travesty happened. Well, when they first started the Endurance Run, I was in the middle of my semester busy with school and work as well dealing with other parts of Giant Bomb. So basically my backlog of episodes to watch snowballed to eventually, when Summer came around and I had free time to watch them, the list became daunting. So, I just kept putting it off and putting it off until I eventually sometimes just pushed it off all together.

What changed my mind? The then upcoming special 100th episode celebration. I felt the need, as an "original" Giant Bomb user, to celebrate this moment in Giant Bomb's history by watching the 100th episode with everyone else. As stated before, this decision was made on the Monday before the week of the 100th episode. That meant that I had to watch 99 episodes in 11 days, all the while having other things I had to do in my life as well. It was a daunting task, but I had to do it. I couldn't let myself and my loyalty to Giant Bomb down.

The Game Lounge (piano and DVD book shelves not pictured)

Now, a lot has to go into making the success of this mission possible. First and foremost, where will I be sitting during the many non-stop hours of watching episode after episode? Ever since I got it, the place where I usually do my work on my laptop in at the card table(which is covered in black because before my brother wanted to build models on it, but that never came into fruition) in the game lounge in my house. It was quite logical since that is where the HDTV along with m PS3 and Xbox 360 are located(hence the "game" in "game lounge"). The problem with this is that the lounge is in the part of the house that was added on later(way before we moved in, though) and therefore has very poor circulation from the A/C that cools the rest of the house fine, not to mention the wooden chairs at the table aren't the most comfortable to sit in for hours, or even minutes, at a time. The room is fine for small doses of activity, but not for long term stationary sitting. Now that is has been Summer, the temperature gets really uncomfortable and often times unbearable. Despite all of this I still decided to stay in the room for my marathon run. But, after only two days, I couldn't take it anymore. I had to get out of that room if I was to complete my mission on time.

The most comfortable couch ever. Maybe too comfortable...

Where was I going to settle in now? The rest of the house's cool temperatures solved the sweating problem, but I also, due to the wooden chairs, I needed some place comfortable. And nothing is more comfortable that the leather reclining couch in the living room. My parents bought the set after Hurricane Ivan destroyed our other furniture by way of water and mildew. It was probably the best purchase ever. They are the most comfortable pieces of furniture I have ever sat or laid on. All 100% leather and the couch was long enough for me to sleep on without my feet dangling over(I'm 6'6" tall). But, I was not going to sleep while watching the ER episodes. I was going to use the couch's ability to recline into chairs at each in. So, I decided to settle in. Now, this worked perfectly for the next few days until something happened that I previously thought never could: the couch was, in fact, TOO comfortable. I'm dead serious. Even after only an hour or two, I felt like sludge getting up and walking around. I felt groggy all the time. Now, this always happens when you lay down for too long, but as I said before, I felt this way after only a couple of hours. It always felt like I have been sitting for ten. This was a shocking revelation, but I finally came to the conclusion that has shocked my world: furniture can be too comfortable for human beings. I'll let that sink into your mind for a little bit.

So, like Goldie Locks, I had to find someplace not too stiff and not too comfortable(still shocking to it, isn't?). This should have been my ideal location from the start, but it didn't pop into my head until the Friday of the first week(7 days before Episode 100): the desk in my bedroom. It is truly an awesome desk that I got a few years ago. It's big, nice, and wide enough to hold my laptop but not to wide that it gets in the way of other areas in my room. The aspect that makes this spot perfect, though, is the leather chair. It's comfortable enough that I can sit for hours on end, but stiff/upright enough that I won't slouch down and become sluggish. This set up worked great and by the end of the first week I have finished the first 50 episodes. So, I was on my way to completing my goal. All that was left is 49 episodes in 4 days(since I wanted to watch the 100th episode right when it came up). This proved to be trickier than I expected.

Another view of my desk and a few of my programming books.

If you're math is right, that meant watching 12-13 episodes each day. What made this tricky is that the episodes got longer and longer. To get through this I had to eat breakfast, lunch and sometimes even dinner in my chair watching the hilarity of Jeff and Vinny's wild adventure. I also cut my sleeping hours. Not to mention I had jobs to do around the house and yard. Another wrench into my marathon was the release of Public Enemies(I loooove them Michael Mann movies!) on the Wednesday of that week, which meant 3 hours out of my night. Surprisingly I had accomplished more than I thought I would and by Thurday, I had 15 episodes left. But, as with most of my plans in life, they never go the way I want them to.

During the final day on Thursday one thing kept leading to another and eventually I find myself only completing only 5 episodes before 10pm. That means I had 10 episodes to watch before the usual 8 a.m.(CST) uploading of the newest ER episode, this one the big #100. Now I had to go without sleep and stay up all night. It also meant that I couldn't stay in this chair anymore. So, I decided to pull up one of those foldable dinner trays and set up my laptop on it wile I semi-laid down on my bed. I was sitting on that bed after episode after episode until finally I hit the proverbial wall. With only three episodes remaining, I couldn't go on. I HAD to get some sleep. Of any kind. That means that I wouldn't be able to watch the celebration of the 100 episode with everyone else on time. I had failed my mission.

While my original mission went unsuccessful, I still wanted to watch the 100th episode on the same day. So, after a few hours of sleep I began my marathon again and at the end of the day I watched the 100th episode and finished later that afternoon. While I still felt a bit of a failure for not completing my goal within my original deadline, being able to watch the 100th episode on the day it is release gave me some comfort. Still, though, I had only three episodes left...

Anyways, that is end of my story. The end of my marathon. The fulfillment of my duty as an avid member of Giant Bomb. While I didn't achieve my original goal, I still felt really good in knowing that I did something that I put off for song long and what seemed so daunting at the start. But in the end, as with everything, a person's willingness and perseverance came through and I achieved what I thought I couldn't before.

This is indeed my greatest achievement on this website...about video games. Happy 1st birthday Giant Bomb!!!

You know, there's only one way to celebrate this sort of hardcore accomplishment, both with regards to the site and your endurance run masochism...

and that's with a little Aqua Teen Hunger Force-style partying.

Woah, great epic tale. I still can't believe that you didnt watch the Endurance run when it started, I cant even imagine how many hours of watching in a row you must have done to get to 100.
But not an hour wasted, I cant even count the number of time I was rolling on the floor laughing from how Vinny and Jeff would react from the Japanese awkwardness.
Watch on brother, watch on

Don't forget,
Nothing Stops the Endurance Run mother fucker!

Yeah, mine is years old and very worn, but it's also really comfortable.

Funny, I've got the same couch as him. >_> Yes it's very comfy :P "

I can seriously lay on it for days. It's so comfy. For some reason I feel more sluggish when I sit in it compared to lying down on it.

Wow, catching up on 100 episodes must have been tough. I had to watch the first 30 episodes in a row because I missed them and that was hard. I can't imagine watching 100 is such a short amount of time.

I also hear Jeff and Vinny's voices in my head when not watching ER. It's really weird.

One of the side effects I suffered after my marathon was the voices of Jeff and Vinny in my head while doing menial tasks. One time, they were recording a commentary on me cooking breakfast. It was a little awkward, but went away after several days.

That is a pretty epic tale, made even more epic by the fact I remember your commentary in the IRC about it. Definately an achievement to manage to watch all the episodes after missing so many of them before. Well done sir!

That takes a lot of dedication. When the Endurance Run first started I tasked myself with creating daily summaries of every episode and posting them in my Endurance Run megathread on GameFAQs. But as the episodes got longer and I got busier I would increasing miss episodes, and even on the days that I did watch I didn't always have time to publish a summary.

What you did is far more impressive than what I set out to do, and even though you didn't succeed in your ultimate goal, I still have to give you massive kudos for trying.

Dude when I first heard about the Endurance Run I was like "But I already have played the game what could I possibly gain from watching someone else play a game I already have?" Then I realized, well why not give it a chance, I mean I LOVED MST3K, and then I quickly fell in love with the Endurance Run.

I fell off around episode 70 and have yet to catch up. I'm thinking of watching, and maybe just skipping some of the long ass grinding episodes.

It's funny, I finally went back and got the true ending, and having seen most of what the game has to offer (two playthroughs not really enough to see everything) I just found I couldn't get back into the ER. It also felt like they were running out of juice a bit.

Hoping to do some catching up during some of the flying ill have to do next month, maybe re-kindle the Endurance Run spirit? Well done to you, however, sir, for your hard work and dedication. *Tips Hat*

That is, indeed, a remarkable achievement. Truly astounding.

Do you plan on watching an episode a day now, to avoid another one of these?

They come up around 3pm for me here, so my mornings are good too.

Yes, I wake up at 14.00.

Well, I am definitely not an "original user" :P, but wow that is quite the accomplishment.

I mean when I joined I watched a little over 50 episodes to catch up, but I had unlimited time to do so, and I thought that was alot.

I really enjoyed reading that. I got busy about half way through (50?) and stopped for awhile but then I started again at around 80 and lasted until about 101. I have yet to see a full episode since then, just bits and pieces. I really should start again; I have the time now. It just seems daunting as you said but still, your achievement sounds awesome. Good job.
