The great thing about Nanako and Dojima's social links is that they are the only thing you can do after exploring the television (besides checking the refrigerator, of course).

By the way, have you guys checked the riverbed on Sundays?

Tomorrow is going to be an excellent video.

Pro tip: Enraged foes/allies have weakened defense, don't enervate those knights, just kill them

I hate how they are so freaking stingy with buying things yet they are hemorrhaging yen at this point.

Yeah, it sucks that they didn't buy any items from Shiroku before going back in the TV.  They were standing right outside it, too.

Hopefully they'll get thru the boss fight without regretting it.

Pro tip:

Fuse Kaiwan on a day when there's Skill Change in the forecast. Tetrakarn might change to Victory Cry (recovers HP and SP for Charlie after battle) and the rest of the game is a breeze.

This happened to me by luck on my current game - which I started because of this Endurance Run - and has made the dream of doing dungeons in a single day possible!

In this week's Bombcast, Vinny(?) mentions that he wants to reduce the size of the P4 Endurance Run episodes.

The 1:1 ratio thing might be an attempt to do just that.
I did notice that the video loaded faster than the other 30 minute episodes.

I love Endurance Run and I joined the site just because of it, but I really hate watching you guys play. It's hard for me to that backlog of old gear in you inventory that needs selling, and the fact that you aren't improving the weapons and armor of the rest of the party.

Still loving the vids though.

Dj says: "I'm not a fan of this aspect ratio. I gotta have my 4:3."

The video is actually 16:9. Hence, the added borders. The first endurance run video was stretched to fill, then they added the borders to make it look nice.

Now, it appears they're going back to 4:3 (no borders), but they forgot to remove the borders from the video, which compressed everything. Whatever they're doing, they did it wrong this time. :D

The way they seem to exclusively focus on the levels of their Personas and disregard the stats is kind of worrying.

Too bad they decided not to fuse Gdon/Fire Cat using Ares. They would have been able to pass on rampage to Gdon/Fire Cat which would of come in handy. On another note, they seem to like enervation alot...

Good work guys.  The cat Gdon looks cool.  Hope the boss battle goes well tomorrow - I wonder how you did.  Also, I feel like you should be using physical attacks more - you have some pretty cool ones like rampage or 3x (weak) physical among others and of course it doesn't use SP.  Could be wrong - just feels like they're being underutilised atm.

I don't think you can enervate something that already has a status ailment.

Also, she destroyed a tank with her FAN. Mad props.

Also also, shurikens at a strip club. Actually, no. Make it a mace. A huge-ass mace. Double the size of your head mace. That'll get the ladies.

If you guys fuse some Personas before the fight, I recommend that you get Unicorn.

Use more physical skills. They are extremely useful on enemies; more so then elementals later on.

How can you call fishing boring??? You hold a stick and vait for something that may or may not happen.
Its like standing in line, but less interactive.

Comment #100 - sweet! Anyway, Ryan's description of hippy smell doesn't make it sound too bad. I would imagine that actual hippies don't bathe often though so they can be "one with nature, etc." so actual hippy smell should be much worse.
 
I continue to be disappointed by the fact that they're not looking at the stats at all. I mean seriously, what the hell? Doesn't Jeff pay attention to stats in any of the games he plays? Vinny just as bad. Hua Po has gone unused and she's the strongest Persona they've got in terms of magic. They fused her like 10 episodes ago and haven't used her!
 
Anyway, there were some good tips in last episode's comments. I saved 'em.
