Drew's Top 10 Next Endurance Run Candidates

As a video producer here at Giant Bomb, specifically the one who hits "Start" and "Stop" on the Endurance Runs, I like to think I have a keen eye for what makes good web entertainment.  When (if?) Vinny and Jeff finish Persona 4, we'll need a game that can live up to the high bar P4 has set.  Here are some games we're considering.

10. Peggle

9. Noby Noby Boy

8. Battletoads

7. Madden NFL 09

6. Korg DS-10

5. Halo 3 Multiplayer

4. Rumble Massage

3. EVE Online

2. Desert Bus

1. SpeedTree

You guys should do Desert Bus.

EVE Online Endurance run would be.........amazing?

What about Braid? That time rewinding potion... I hear it *never* runs out. Could make for an awesome endurance run then, eh?

SpeedTree endurance run... You listening, Endurance Runners?
Make it happen.

I would love a SpeedTree endurance run. Forty half-hour videos of the guys just watching trees get build. Sounds awesome to me.

Halo 3 multiplayer would be flippin sweet.

Noby Noby Boy

do an endurance of every cRPG on snide's list.

I think Noby Noby Boy would be best because of the multiplayer mode coming out, both jeff and vinny could have days of fun eatting each other........ They're goal could always be to get to mars!

Endurance is needed for many of these games fo sho.  And some only a highlander could complete.

You guys should do Halo 3, but only in the Grifball and Rocket Race playlists.

Needs more RapeLay.

"You guys should do Desert Bus."

"You guys should do Halo 3, but only in the Grifball and Rocket Race playlists."

Dude yes.  Desert Bus.

Where is Rapelay?

No Brad's beard?  I could watch 45 minute videos of that.

Eve online!!!

pokemon snap

Speedtree FTW!!!

Rapelay.

Good luck finishing Halo 3 multiplayer. Also Rapelay and Big Rigs would be awesome to watch.

eve online gogo

Madden NFL 09, duh.

hahah

"Needs more RapeLay."

"Where is Rapelay?"

"Rapelay."

(Stupid question) What's an endurance run? I have a vague idea, and I'm suggesting Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon for it. Why? Death is permanent, and this is a hard game.

SpeedTree FTW there's so much commentary Vinny and Jeff can make about trees.

any pokemon or megaman starforce game...

because I would never play it but I d like to see what its alla bout

Lol at Halo 3...

I vote for Desert Bus.

I would love to see some videos of Jeff playing Call of Duty 4 or Halo 3, along with the hilarious commentary.

April fools! Yeah, I vote for Speedtree or Rumble Massage.

I might suggest EVE Online, but I'm not that sadistic. From what we've learned watching you and Vinny play P4, a good Endurance Run is more about the "run" than the "endurance". An Endurance Run needs a definite ending, and plenty of changing content for you guys to talk about and for us to watch, without too much menu-navigation or grinding, which kicks out more than half of the list. P4 sidesteps the issue by making you choose when you want to grind, but you're beginning to get your asses kicked since you can't use up valuable video time making cash or fusing proper personas. It's a good thing Jeff's been playing on his own time, because I really fear for you dudes.

So if we were going to pick from the list alone, I'd suggest Battletoads, but if you guys are amicable towards a write-in contestant, I suggest:

• Odin Sphere - Strong plot, looks pretty, short-but-sweet cutscenes and a unique aesthetic.
• Steambot Chronicles - It's nonlinear in the same way that Persona is, but with a lot less grinding and more robot fighting.
• Way of the Samurai 1 or 2 - It's awesome and quirky, and I want WotS 3 to come over from Japan, so any promotion is good.
• Robot Alchemic Drive - I wrote most of the GB entry on it, IT IS WHAT YOU WANT.
• Ace Combat 4, 5 or Zero - It's HAWX without the suck.
• Sakura Taisen - No chance right now since it's in Japanese, but rumors are that NISA is bringing ST5 over sometime this year, so it'd be AWESOME if you did that. For the comedic potential just look at the "let's play" thread on SomethingAwful!
  

Eve Online! C'mon!

Pac Man.

Eve Online would be amazing.

EVE all the way.

I'd love to see Jeff attempt to curse his way through Battletoads.

If there is no RapeLay Endurance Run, I will stop going to this site and send you guys a box filled with anthrax.

The only one I want to see more than SpeedTree is Rumble Massage.

And actually there are a bunch of guys that do crazy Desert Bus marathons every year for charity. God bless them. o_o

Definitely true. Didn't remember the name til I read the wiki just now :P

RAPELAY ENDURANCE RUN!

i was kinda sad not to see RapeLay as number 1

Obviously RapeLay would be my first choice, but otherwise I'd like to see EVE Online...actually that'd probably be really boring.

this is a terrible list besides eve online. But eve online, hey thats a good idea!

Noby Noby boy, just because they'd be so confused.

EVE Online!!!
