just caught this on Dave's twitter:
enemykite
Just saw streaming video working on @ andymccurdy's screen. Gonna be some happy endurance run fans pretty soon.
does this mean a new endurance run starting soon? :D
sorry if old
New Endurance Run info (maybe coming soon?)
" Well since new game releases are going to get quite low from now on, I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a new ER. Maybe even the return of TANG. Who knows? "been living under a rock mate? :D
Darksiders Bayonetta this week, Dark Void in 2 Weeks, Mass Effect 2 end of the Month. Oh Army Of Two 2 also
Heavy Rain, Dantes Inferno, Bioshock 2 In february
God Of War 3, Final Fantasy 13, Crackdown 2 (maybe?) in march.
Super Street Fighter 4 and Lost Planet 2 probably in april
Alan Wake, Splinter Cell In may. Im sure im forgetting more
As I said in the other thread:
I think all he's saying is that you'll be able to skip around in videos, even if that part of the video hasn't been downloaded yet (Something that would be useful when searching through super-long endurance run videos).
In other words: nothing to do with new content.
@Daryl: That makes it sound like Persona 4 isn't a decent game...
None of those games are juvenile enough to be worth watching. Also putting up the whole game as a video this shortly after it came out would be kind of dickish." Here's thinking it could be Heavy Rain, or Silent Hill: Shattered Memories. "
Actually, thinkin about it; They do all wanna play Shattered Memories without actually playing it, and I could imagine it bein good if Brad knows what variables have effects in the game and the other person doesn't.
" @Venatio said:Whu-what? So I've been here for almost a year?! :O How time flies!" @FrankCanada97 said:They posted Episode 1 February 9, 2009. "" Didn't they start the first Endurance Run at around this time? "I think it started around the middle of February "
Anyways, yeah I saw this a while ago. Wonder what could Dave be talking about exactly.
" Man I would really like a new Endurance Run, I don't care what game it is as long as it is somewhat entertaining to watch Also, it probably won't be as good as the Persona 4 run but it doesn't have to be "I hope it is as least as good, as far as commentary and all that goes.
The game itself, though it'd be nice, doesn't have to be as good as P4.
And the "amazing commentary" is a complete and total given, so we're set!
Provided it is a hint at a new ER...
I only stopped watching around Ep 100 or so because of spoiler stuff (bought the game myself). I have every intention of going back and watching every episode I have yet to see. Just gonna beat the game first.
would love a new Endurance run but they would have to choice a really long game so where talking 65-X hours. I hope jeff and Vinny do it again

Gonna be some happy endurance run fans pretty soon. does this mean a new endurance run starting soon?To me this sounds more like there's some new persona 4 stuff on the way.
" People have been suggesting a lot of silly games for Endurance Runs. Shouldn't the game be pretty long and not neccesarly a game most people have played or will play through? Have any games come out with those qualities? "Yeah, I've noticed a lot of folks want to see Shattered Memories. A short game that we've already seen two quick looks for. Not sure why anyone would want that for an endurance run.
I'd be down for Monster Hunter Tri, but that isn't coming out until March.
Misread. No new endurance run unfortunately. Only meant that we're working on a video player that allows for STREAMING video rather than the progressive download format we use now. While everyone will enjoy it, it will help out significantly for endurance run fans because those videos are so long.
Sorry for the confusion.
" @L33tfella_H said:I'd like to see each member of the GB crew either play through individually or pair up to see the differences in their choices and how they effect the game.None of those games are juvenile enough to be worth watching. Also putting up the whole game as a video this shortly after it came out would be kind of dickish." Here's thinking it could be Heavy Rain, or Silent Hill: Shattered Memories. "

I honestly don't think we'll be seeing a new endurance run until closer to this years second quarter. Think about it, trying to balance an endurance run with the flood of Q1 games, Pax East, and GDC coming up in the spring would be quite the challenge. The site probably won't be hurting for daily content anytime soon, and the doods probably want to make sure that they pick the right game for the next endurance run, it is a very prestigious position to be in for a game after all.
It's either a new one, or possible just a greatest hits compilation of the first one, which in turn could be followed by a new one.
Either way, LEGIT STAMP APPROVED.
LEGIT!
I'm skeptical of a new endurance run (if there is one). The Giantbomb staff are hilarious, regardless, but the endurance run was more or less made for Persona 4. It never seemed to me to be a good format to just stick any game into. I actually always assumed the Endurance Run was a one time thing, and that they would do different stuff after it was finished. (not that I don't have faith that anything they do will be awesome ;)
Its probably for the best. At this point I'm looking foward to another endurance run as much as Batman Arkham Asylum 2. While the originals were great, I believe it was the originality that made them so awesome. One day a new ER shall come but lets not rush it.
I have DA:O, and i've played maybe.. 7 hours? It gets hard to stop playin then play some a little after even a day.
I need a solid. Like, 2 weeks to play non-stop. They should deffiently do it.
Mass Effect 2 would be alright. But i beat the first one on a lonely weekend. It might not last as long as we'd like.
We need a really long game.
Not to mention Dragon Age is coming out with an expansion in March.
