Episode 49!  I still say that Ryan shouting from the background should come standard.

  

I'm still on episode 33, but once I catch up I'll definitely start posting in here. This stuff is so much fun.

Double Episode today!  Behind the Scenes Special and Episode 50, back to back, for just over an hour of greatness.

  

Episode 51 today!  Short one this time, but it has Kanji and Rise.  Hard to beat that.

  

I had no idea this existed. I'm on episode 77 myself.

lol the camping trip is probably in my top 10 greatest endurance run moments of all time

What up, girl! 
And the behind the scenes thing is great. Might have been greater if it didn't destroy the orientation of my hearing so much but, well... 
@Make_Me_Mad: I'm still hanging out! Opening this bookmark is a small joy of my day.

Episode 52!  Story is moving along slowly, so the guys are forced to Social Link.

  

lol i dont know whats worse the reporters in this game or the teachers.  I mean all the teachers are either severely depressed like the math teacher or extremely angry like mooraoka or they take their job way to seriously like the history teacher 

Episode 53.  The story is in full effect!

  

Great arc here, though because I'm on vacation we're now ahead of where I am in the game. I'll play a bunch this weekend and catch up maybe? 
 
It's hard to watch the ER and play Persona 4 at the same time. Though I've seen this handful of episodes before (I got as far as Episode 62,) I'm looking forward to seeing new material.

Any episode that prominently features Dojima is a good one; he's just such good comedic fodder. Also, Kanji is really starting to come into his own as a dumb stoner punching bag.

Hot damn do I love that animation at the end. I remember letting the game sit there so I could make a sandwich and I came back and ate it while watching that guy infinitely climb that pole. 
Also, @Make_Me_Mad: 

Episode 54!  Action!

  

@T4RTERS4UCE:

i always thought the parts where u have to investigate where probably the weakest part in the game

Episode 55!  Investigation phase is over.  Couldn't have happened soon enough.

  

@punisherkaos:

Well, I suppose it wouldn't be much of an Endurance Run if it was all fun all the time. At least, that's how I made it through these parts of the ER before. (They're much more tolerable playing through the game yourself, where you're free to consult a FAQ.)
At least we're about to get into some good episodes. Let's play some King Fighter!

Funny, I've been doing an Endurance Run rewatch on my own, and on a whim I decide to check out this thread and I see that you guys are on the exact same episode as me. Guess I'll be hopping on the train!

It's our chance for a double episode today, because #56: Kingslayer is short and the contrast between what happened in that episode and their recollections of it in the next are great.

" I just received my copy from Amazon and played six hours with a couple of friends.  One of them may've just put his order in. "

The Endurance Run is still selling copies of Persona 4 2 years after the fact:P "

Episode 57 is great for having the original Hot 97 reference on Giant Bomb.

Oh god I'm so far behind. 

Wait, 57? What am I on? 43? FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

Wow, I didn't even know people were going through this again. That's awesome.
 
I stopped watching the run after Yukiko's Castle and bought the game for myself, because the way they were bumbling through the battles was kinda annoying me, in a yelling-at-the-screen kinda way. But now that I finished it, it's kinda cool that there's a reason to watch through all these.

Episode 58!  The dungeon gets sidelined for a while.

Episode 59.  Any day where they can both start and finish the episode with tons of innuendo is a good one.

  

..aaand there. Caught up! Awesome. Gotta say, this stuff's hilarious.
It's good that I can watch it with this thread, and go back to doing things instead of burning myself out watching Persona 4 videos all day.

Episode 60.  Some things happen that change Charlie forever.

  

SPOILER WARNING: Click here to reveal hidden content.

" Definitely one of the classic episodes of the ER. Mass Effect couldn't have consensual alien sex without Fox News guests calling it a rape simulator, but Persona 4 gets away with the implied statutory rape of a high school student? Heh, shows the benefit of being an under-the-radar PS2 game coming out of Japan, I suppose. "

Episode 61!  Nothing stops the Endurance Run.

  

Wow, the way they handled the power outages is DAMN impressive. The flash back to power and sound change is pretty awesome.
That's commitment!

Episode 62.  It's back to the worst kind of grinding you can do in the Bad Bad Bathhouse, so you're going to want to have something else to do while/if you watch this one.

  

We're totally back to where I stopped watching because I wanted to catch up in the game. I know what I'm doing today maybe?

Episode 63.  Boss fight starts at about 47 minutes in for you non-masochists out there.

  

" Almost an hour long, and the pessimism from Jeff gets pretty rough.  Complaining about the battles being boring and grindy while you fight every under leveled monster in an old dungeon?  Saying the game needs a better UI when you didn't even look through the menus?  Finally reaching the point where the experience gains aren't totally negligible only to get the one Arcana card that could possibly make this trip any more pointless?  And then fighting the boss while under the influence of said terrible card?  

" @Make_Me_Mad: 

In fairness the fusing system is more in depth than the game makes out, especially when trying to finish Elizabeth's S-Link which I'll fully admit I resorted to using a guide to speed up the process.

The conclusion to the Rise's dungeon is indeed amazing as far as the ER goes

"

@mutha3:
    In regards to grinding I think that the game is well placed with levelling, I never dodged fights and always found that I was capable of beating each dungeon boss. The only exception being the obvious spike in Yukiko's dungeon where certain skills are at a premium. The only time that I can remember 'grinding' was when completing requests for items.

Wow 63, you have booked through these. I've been too busy to keep up closely with these but looks like I have joined again at a good time.

Episode 64!  Nothing quite as terrifying as realizing that the game is accounting for the Friend Zone.

  

Guys, I just realized I have experienced Persona 4 fully six times (either through the ER, or by myself). This will be the seventh. I need help.

"Guys, I just realized I have experienced Persona 4 fully six times (either through the ER, or by myself). This will be the seventh. I need help. "

I've lost count of the number of playthroughs I've put into Persona 4, but they amount to more than 500 hours of playtime for me, AND I had watched the entire Endurance Run a few months before I even got the game.  So yeah, not just you.

Also, I've found that when I watch episodes of the P4 Endurance Run now, all it does is make me go and start playing the game myself after watching a couple videos.

It's probably an Anime. "

Episode 65!  I'll be starting a new thread after episode 70, but we've still got plenty of time left in the Marukyu Striptease.

  

Episode 66!  Kanji takes Chie's place for an hour or so of dungeon crawling.  I honestly didn't remember them using him even this much.

  

Still haven't advanced at all...gonna play some P4 after my doctor's visit today.

Hm, I don't think shuffle time EVER went that fast when I was playing..
