    Vinny, never stop caring!!! Keep the Endurance Run alive!

    If we all close our eyes real tight and make a wish, magic will happen and ep 50 will work and the ER will continue!

    Why do people keep posting stuff about save slots? The VIDEO got corrupted, not the save file!


    Also, for hell's sakes, it's time to buy GB teeshirts, people! If Vinny's putting in to get this episode online, the fans ought to as well!

    Vinny! We Believe in you!

    The Endurance Run was a fantastic unique idea from GB, hopefully after 10 weeks you decide to continue on. Thanks to all involved anyway!

    If threy had used more than one save slot, they could've replayed the 45 minutes or so they put into episode 50. Because they saved over the file they loaded, they can't do that now. That's why people have said they should've used multiple save slots.

    Because they could have just refilmed for the 2 hours instead of spending 12 trying to recover the corrupted file

    Well, if that's how it goes... congrats for outliving the endurance run. You beat it! In more ways than one! Heh.

    Anyways, whatever happens, it was a good show and always entertaining. Funky Student and Fox know what's up. If we get to see more of it, that's cool too.

    The guy screaming was a warning to you guys that something bad was going to happen in the not too distant future. You should have took heed of his warning.

    In all seriousness though, don't fret over this too much. Your users have got your back.

    They would have saved as they finished meaning they saved over the whole ep50 parts.

    Is it just me or is Drew always wearing the same shirt? Not trying to call you out man, just saying... Also, we appreciate all the hard work that goes into these runs and hope you are able to recover the file.

    ""Long videos...a little pricey".  Do they need to pay to play this and video it?"
    The longer the video file is, the higher the chance of it being corrupted / broken / things going wrong. So the price is high as for a longer Endurance Run episode you also increase the chance of losing the file.

    You guys are awesome and you cant stop the endurance run....I really want to know who the culprit is and weirdly enough I have  grown fond of  these characters and it would be sad not to see if Funky has another riddle or if Charlie gets it on with Chie eventually...you could just record the camping trip without commentary if you dont want to go through that again or just go on with episode 51. But one thing is clear, the madness of Persona 4 cant end!!!

    But that's not how this shit works. You can't have them just play the same thing over again. What are they going to do, try and hit the same jokes as they already did a second time?

    Right, which is why people are calling for multiple save files so they could reload the one before the filmming

    I think they're messing with us again.  Like they did when they were about to air the Yukiko boss fight and alluded to it being "all over" in their podcast.

    But if they aren't, and they really can't get the video fixed, and it's all over, it was a good run.

    Even if they had multiple save slots and went back to record it again, all of the spontaneity would be lost. They would already know what's going to happen because they just saw it.

    You can't just re-do a segment of the game that's as long as it sounds it was without it feeling forced or contrived. I think making them re-do this chunk of the game over would push them closer to canceling the Endurance Run than the corruption of the video would.

    No, people were suggesting separate saves in case the save file goes corrupt. This is a problem with the video file going corrupt, something that most viewers never even considered.

    I like the sound of you going thru to the very end if you didnt stop after 2 weeks, so even if episode 50 is lost forever, I hope you continue on from wherever you are now.

    "...the nearly 30 gig movie file got corrupted somehow in a transfer between Drew and Vinny's machines."

    That happens to me all the time with my portable external hard drive and between my desktop and laptop when I compressed all my music to to transfer.  Always make a copy of the file before you do that so if the connection gets interrupted and jacks the file you still will have it.  OR break it into smaller pieces so if you lose one it isn't as big of a deal.

    Oh god! This is terrible!

    When I saw the "behind the scenes" video I thought "oooooh interesting." Little did I know of the grim portents it contained.

    Aion: I wasn't aware these guys were making money by showing this? At the same time, I'm quite sure Atlus would be thrilled to discover how many of us have actually bought the game after viewing these. Hell, I bought it and dragged my dusty PS2 out of the wardrobe specially. I'm pretty damn sure I'm not the only one...
