Ryan: Quick Look Start to Death Time

No night vision goggles required for "pullin' a Brad."

Ya know, Brad isn't the only one who " pulls a Brad" during Quick Looks, and we give him a lot of flak for it. Inspired by Mustard's amazing list, I decided to compile lists for all the other Giant Bombers' "Start to Death" times in Quick Looks, this one being for Ryan!

"Start to Death" is defined as the time elapsed between the start of the Quick Look, and Ryan dying, regardless of the method. Occasionally, there will be two times listed, the reason being written in the description for the game. Also, I kept track of not only the time of death, but also the Death Count to list how many times they died during the Quick Look.

I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I had fun putting it all together! And remember, "It's tougher to play and talk at the same time, than you think."

Links to the other Quick Look Start to Death Time Lists:
Brad - Jeff - Vinny - Dave - Drew - Sean - Andy - Mike - Will - Alex - Jared

Ryan's Total Quick Looks Ran: 243

List items

1. Aliens vs. Predator

<a href="http://www.giantbomb.com/quick-look-aliens-vs-predator-multiplayer-demo/17-1977/">(Multiplayer Demo)</a> 
Start to Death - 0:12 
Cause - Predatorized 
Death Count - 36
Alright, I'm calling it: Quickest "pullin' a Brad" that will ever be done. This will not be beaten. 
[EDIT 4/1/2010]: I was <a href="http://www.giantbomb.com/quick-look-modern-warfare-2-stimulus-package/17-2267/" target="_blank">wrong</a>.
2. Cubixx

Start to Death - 0:39 
Cause - Ran right into the not-Qix 
Death Count - 3
Fastest three lives spent too.
3. Pac-Man Party

Start to Death - 1:10 
Cause - Hit by a Pooka on the first stage of Dig-Dug 
Death Count - 2
What is wrong with Ryan, indeed! C'mon. Who dies on the first stage of Dig-Dug?
4. Shank

Start to Death - 1:20 
Cause - Shot by Franco. Flex, Sal, and Maxwell the dog definitely weren't helping either 
Death Count - 3
Ryan got shivved. He got shivved and then shanked. And then he got shot. And then he died. But before all that, he got mauled by a dog.
5. A Boy and His Blob

Start to Death - 1:31 
Cause - Fell on spikes 
Death Count - 9
Should've hugged that Blob more.
6. LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars

Start to Death - 1:54 
Cause - Shot by... Brad? I'm going to say Brad killed him 
Death Count - 5
Brad shot first.
7. And Yet It Moves

Start to Death - 1:56 
Cause - Fell too hard into the ground 
Death Count - 6
Remember: The enemy is down.
8. Borderlands

Start to Death - 2:04 
Cause - Jeff 
Death Count - 2
Jeff demanded satisfaction from Ryan! He didn't ask for it, he demanded it! And so did Brad.
9. Super Mario All-Stars

Start (from beginning of video) to Death - 23:40 
Start (from beginning of Ryan's turn) to Death - 2:20 
Cause - Chain-chomp'd from chasing a Star 
Death Count - 1
The worst Mario play he's ever fucking done, according to Ryan.
10. Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion

Start to Death - 2:29 
Cause - Jeff 
Death Count - 14
Not even Miguel's pimp coat could save Ryan from Jeff's mad Hwoarang skills.
11. Outland

Start to Death - 2:37 
Cause - Taken down by light spider thing 
Death Count - 6
I always gave different rulings about being resurrected after death for these lists, but these just seem like death deaths. ...Whatever that means.
12. Bit.Trip RUNNER

Start to Death - 2:45 
Cause - The stairs. No one ever makes it their first time. Or third or fifth time 
Death Count - 13
Now I wasn't sure whether to count these as deaths at all. CommanderVideo never really dies, just launched back to the beginning. Nonetheless, I'll add it here just in case. Also, someone should do something about Vinny's pregnancy.
13. Bomberman Live: Battlefest

Start to Death - 2:55 
Cause - Fragged by Red Bomberman's Dangerous Bomb 
Death Count - 2
This game is Bomberman as hell.
14. Tales from Space: About a Blob

Start to Death - 3:10 
Cause - He exploded 
Death Count - 4
Today's Lesson: Never play co-op with Ryan.
15. Attack of the Movies 3D

Start to Death - 3:15 
Cause - Hit by an acid ball shot from a giant insect 
Death Count - 2
Apparently, all players share the same life bar, so Ryan and Jeff died together. But they died together IN 3D! Unimpressive 3D, but 3D nonetheless!
16. BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger

Start to Death - 3:20 
Cause - Jeff 
Death Count - 5
Distortion Finished.
17. Sin & Punishment: Star Successor

Start to Death - 3:21 
Cause - Blasted by a rock from the giant rock turtle 
Death Count - 1
Should've asked Jimmy Treasure for help. Luckily, Vinny is just as good.
18. Swarm

Start to Death - 3:24 
Cause - Couldn't see and walked into hot stuff 
Death Count - 6
You may be killing hundreds, if not thousands of Swarmites in this game, but I count a death as losing all of your Swarmites in a level. It just makes more sense and makes my life easier.
19. GoldenEye 007

Start to Death - 3:30 
Cause - Vinny and the Golden Gun 
Death Count - 25
Not only was it a Golden Gun, but it was an inverted-controlled Golden Gun. Humiliating!
20. Mindjack

Start to Death - 3:54 
Cause - Shot by Policeman. Also, he was on the wrong side of cover 
Death Count - 15
Yeah, get inside that woman's body.

Tough game back then. Tough game now.
22. Game & Watch Collection 2

Start to Death - 4:09 
Cause - Mr. Game & Watch Clown got eated by a shark 
Death Count - 15
Eaten by a shark, eh? Yep, sounds like a death to me.

Start to Death - 4:11 
Cause - Shot by a SVD Battle rifle wielded by jonathanXBF 
Death Count - 9
That's a pretty bad hang. Oh well, this is just a beeta.
24. Shaun White Skateboarding

Start to Death - 4:25 
Cause - He bailed 
Death Count - 3
He uh... he turned into tiny balls upon hitting the ground... Yeah, I'ma call that a death...
25. Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

<a href="http://www.giantbomb.com/quick-look-assassins-creed-brotherhood-beta/17-3339/" target="_blank">(Beta)</a> 
Start to Death - 4:36 
Cause - Fan kill by cartwit 
Death Count - 9
This seems really, really, really cool. ...That's it. Nothing clever. 
<a href="http://www.giantbomb.com/quick-look-assassins-creed-brotherhood-the-da-vinci-disappearance/17-3921/" target="_blank">(The Da Vinci Disappearance DLC)</a> 
Start to Death - 24:13 
Cause - Assassinated by DoneDoor2 
Death Count - 1
'Ey, whatsa matta you!
26. Fret Nice

Start to Death - 4:43 
Cause - Got ran into by a one-eyed, one-horned... thing 
Death Count - 1
And it turned out that the guitar wasn't broken. Ryan simply misread the controls.
27. SAW

Start to Death - 4:47 
Cause - Shotgun trap 
Death Count - 2
There are shotguns, and there are traps. And then there are shotgun traps. ...Seriously, what the hell?
28. X-Men

Start to Death - 4:56 
Cause - Fire blasted by Pyro 
Death Count - 12
Bamf.
29. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

<a href="http://www.giantbomb.com/quick-look-uncharted-2-multiplayer/17-855/">(Multiplayer)</a> 
Start to Death - 5:03 
Cause - Shot by Nathaniel Drake 
Death Count - 3
Nothing interesting to say about this death, however there is a totally awesome and freakin' hilarious freakout by Ryan and Vinny at the 6:36 mark of the Quick Look.
30. Final Fight: Double Impact

Start to Death - 5:05 
Cause - Jumpkicked by Damnd 
Death Count - 5
Damn you, Damnd!
31. Hard Corps: Uprising

Start to Death - 5:07 
Cause - Jumped into an enemy 
Death Count - 10
Yeah, nah, Ryan, this is still a Contra game. You don't want to do that.
32. The Punisher: No Mercy

Start to Death - 5:17 
Cause - Got shot at a bunch 
Death Count - 14
Ryan was pretty much just standing in one open spot and firing toward the direction where all the bots seemed to be coming from. And that was apparently working out great. Yeah, in other game, that shouldn't have worked.
33. Castlevania Judgment

Start to Death - 5:21 
Cause - Jeff (via Ring Out) 
Death Count - 2
I know what you're thinking. Yes, this is a fighting game, and yes, he was playing against Jeff. Well, this game still has a health bar in it and he still lost all his health at one point or another. Jeff apparently clipped Ryan through the edge of the arena, which Jeff jumped out as well shortly after.
34. Tournament of Legends

Start to Death - 5:21 
Cause - Set on fire by Bast 
Death Count - 3
Oh snap! He got burned!
35. StarDrone

Start to Death - 5:27 
Cause - Leashed into spikes 
Death Count - 9
I have the sudden urge to go read a book.
36. Joe Danger

Start to Death - 5:29 
Cause - Hit the corner of a bus. And not in the way you'd expect 
Death Count - 8
Well, if Jeff Gerstmann says "Joe Danger is dead," then Joe Danger is dead.
37. The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile

Start to Death - 5:33 
Cause - Shot by a hospital orderly, I guess? 
Death Count - 2
I, uh... I have no idea what's going on... Looks pretty though. In a bloody, slashy sort of way.
38. Spyborgs

Start to Death - 5:42 
Cause - Hit by enemy 
Death Count - 2
The female character: Fast, but low on health, strength, and defense.
39. Game Room

Start to Death - 11:52 
Cause - Jeff's big plane 
Death Count - 15
Three planes always beat one big one. 
<a href="http://www.giantbomb.com/quick-look-game-room-for-110310/17-3452/" target="_blank">(for 11/03/2010)</a> 
Start to Death - 5:55 
Cause - Shot by Jeff. In space. In a war 
Death Count - 11
I pictured Combasteroids being a whole lot better than this.
40. Bloody Good Time

Start (from beginning of video) to Death - 15:18 
Start (from beginning of Ryan's turn) to Death - 6:17 
Cause - Killed for no reason, apparently, I guess 
Death Count - 4
Bleh. Not really digging this game. Can't see much of the appeal.
41. Killzone 3

<a href="http://www.giantbomb.com/quick-look-killzone-3-multiplayer-beta/17-3416/" target="_blank">(Multiplayer Beta)</a> 
Start to Death - 6:18 
Cause - Mortally wounded by Sahil6758, and then finished off by his own grenade 
Death Count - 5
I'm going to be completely honest here: I'd really rather be playing Rock Band 3 than typing this out.
42. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled

Start to Death - 6:21 
Cause - Ran over by Cement Man 
Death Count - 3
Ryan does machines.
43. Gunblade NY & LA Machineguns Arcade Hits Pack

Start to Death - 6:22 
Cause - Bullet from gun 
Death Count - 2
This game has a lot more gun than blade.
44. Ready 2 Rumble Revolution

Start to Death - 7:02 
Cause - Jeff 
Death Count - 2
Technically, this wasn't so much a "death" as it was a "knockout." Eh, it's close enough.
45. The Saboteur

Start to Death - 7:21 
Cause - Shot at a bunch 
Death Count - 2
That last one, Ryan purposely fell to his death to the end the Quick Look. And we'll never know what Sean was going to say.
46. New Super Mario Bros. Wii

Start to Death - 7:39 
Cause - The bottom of the screen 
Death Count - 12
Pure insanity.
47. Red Faction: Battlegrounds

Start to Death - 7:44 
Cause - Blew himself up by blowing Brad... up 
Death COunt - 15
I remember car combat games being fun. And by "car combat games", I mean Twisted Metal 2. And by "fun", I mean really fun. ...I guess what I'm saying is I like Twisted Metal.
48. White Knight Chronicles: International Edition

Start to Death - 7:45 
Cause - Slashed by Magi Swordsman (pronounced suh-wor-ds-min) 
Death Count - 2
Oh god. Vinny, just... what the... ugh... your... guh...
49. Tron Evolution: Battle Grids

Start to Death - 7:46 
Cause - Bomb-Disc'd by ATA0 (Brad) 
Death Count - 19
If anything, he was distracted by the rocking music.
50. Tetris

Start to Death - 8:15 
Cause - Hit the top of the screen 
Death Count - 2
He did not shimmy sideways until there was room.
51. 3D Dot Game Heroes

Start to Death - 8:28 
Cause - Dragon out of nowhere! 
Death Count - 2
No one expects the blocky, fire-breathing dragon!
52. Perfect Dark

Start to Death - 10:48 
Cause - Brad 
Death Count - 8
No other place more embarrassing to die in then the bathroom.
53. Power Stone 2

Start to Death - 10:29 
Cause - Hit by a purple ball 
Death Count - 1
Damn that, giant robot sphinx.
54. Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light

Start to Death - 11:23 
Cause - Ran into the fire 
Death Count - 3
Fire bad, Ryan. Fire real bad.
55. Time Crisis: Razing Storm

Start to Death - 11:23 
Cause - Shot by giant robot missile 
Death Count - 1
Time isn't much of a crisis here. I'd be more worried about the giant vacuum cleaner robot. Giant Vacuum Cleaner Robot Crisis.
56. The Conduit

Start (from beginning of video) to Death - 29:36 
Start (from beginning of Ryan's turn) to Death - 11:52 
Cause - Melee'd by an enemy guy, I think 
Death Count - 1
Jeff initially started this Quick Look and about halfway through, Ryan took over to try out the controls. And here, I'm not sure what killed him. Ryan had 3/4 of his health before losing it all within a second.
57. Eat Them!

Start to Death - 12:00 
Cause - Ran out of monster power like half a second before the stage was finished 
Death Count - 8
All shall know the wrath of D!
58. Blood Drive

Start to Death - 12:31 
Cause - Minigun'd by Kelley 
Death Count - 2
Yeah... Twisted Metal, this game is not...
59. Rocket Knight

Start to Death - 13:27 
Cause - Ninja star'd by a wolf... You heard me 
Death Count - 1
Or maybe he was just playing-- Oh, Ryan beat me to it.
60. Sonic Colors

Start to Death - 13:43 
Cause - Fell 
Death Count - 3
Too fast, Ryan! Too fast!
61. The Typing of the Dead

Start to Death - 14:12 
Cause - Did not type fast enough 
Death Count - 1
You're going to need to raise your WPM before taking this game on.
62. Muramasa: The Demon Blade

Start to Death - 14:39 
Cause - Jumped on by Blue Monk 
Death Count - 1
Blue Monk was giving him the business during the first fight. Though, Ryan did pick the harder difficulty.
63. Fallout 3

<a href="http://www.giantbomb.com/quick-look-fallout-3-point-lookout/17-930/">(Point Lookout)</a> 
Start to Death - 15:13 
Cause - Shanked by a Tribal follower 
Death Count - 1
Ryan was dealing up some damage here. Critical strikes, left and right. Unfortunately, he got careless and failed to notice he was incredibly low on health.
64. Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime

Start to Death - 16:09 
Cause - Ran over by Master Chef LeBlog 
Death Count - 9
Ryan ain't afraid o' no ghosts!
65. Ninja Blade

Start to Death - 16:40 
Cause - Missed a jump 
Death Count - 1
Ryan actually missed a lot of quick-time cutscenes before this, but since the game automatically rewinds after failing them, technically your character never dies from those.
66. Punch-Out!!

Start to Death - 17:08 
Cause - Giga Jeff 
Death Count - 1
For this game, I count a death as being K.O.'d and losing the match. Yes, you do get knocked down after losing all your health, but you can get back up after enough mashing and regain some health.
67. Dragon Ball: Raging Blast

Start to Death - 17:37 
Cause - Dodoria's Super Breath Cannon 
Death Count - 1
Unfortunately, you do not win for being the most underwater.
68. Xbox 360 Games Store

<a href="http://www.giantbomb.com/quick-look-xbox-live-indie-games/17-1762/">(Indie Games)</a> 
Start to Death - 18:13 
Cause - Bird 
Death Count - 7
Here, Ryan looks at a multitude of Xbox Live Indie Games. Since the games themeselves don't have their own individual pages (which thank goodness for that), I'm compiling it all under this one. And by "it all," I mean the game "Hydro Electric Worker," the only game that Ryan really dies (or could die) in.
69. Dante's Inferno

Start to Death - 19:46 
Cause - Missed a quick time event 
Death Count - 1
And Brad even warned him about it.
70. Red Steel 2

Start to Death - 19:49 
Cause - Shot by a Jackal 
Death Count - 2
Poor Ryan kept getting surrounded by those damn Jackals.
71. Terminator Salvation

Start to Death - 19:52 
Cause - Ran up to a T-7 T and got headbutted 
Death Count - 1
This one was intentional as Ryan was ending the Quick Look. This was also his second attempt at killing himself in the game, as the first he survived by running circles around a T-7 T.
72. Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Piccolo

Start to Death - 21:37 
Cause - Yamcha's Neo Wolf Fang Fist 
Death Count - 1
My favorite part is when Vinny leaves and Ryan gets angry. And then Brad leaves and more anger.
73. SAW II: Flesh & Blood

Start to Death - 22:28 
Cause - Fell off a balance board 
Death Count - 
I'm with you, Vinny. I will never understand the appeal of any of this.
74. Rabbids Go Home: A Comedy Adventure

Start to Death - 22:46 
Cause - Fell off the side of a cliff while in an inner tube. ...You heard me 
Death Count - 1
D'AHHHHHHHHHHHH!
75. Cave Story

Start to Death - 24:32 
Cause - The little white thing moving back and forth down below 
Death Count - 3
They were warned that its touch is as deadly as it gets.
76. God of War III

Start to Death - 25:06 
Cause - Fell into the river 
Death Count - 2
Of all the things that could've killed him in the game, the river did him in. Twice.
77. Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. 2

Start to Death - 26:47 
Cause - Intentionally flew into a mountain 
Death Count - 1
Aw, and I wanted to see him fly into the sun.
78. LittleBigPlanet 2

Start to Death - 27:30 
Cause - Got gassed by Jeff 
Death Count - 2
Pro Tip: Don't get gassed.
79. James Cameron's Avatar: The Game

Start to Death - 29:19 
Cause - Earth bullets 
Death Count - 2
Ryan actually went down a few times. Luckily, kissing his fist revives him, apparently.
80. Top Gun

Start to Death - 29:54 
Cause - Crashed into mountain 
Death Count - 1
Ryan totally rode into the Danger Zone. And then crashed.
81. Super Scribblenauts

Start to Death - 30:45 
Cause - A giant bomb 
Death Count - 2
That one bear was riding that other bear... 
 
 
 
...
82. Afrika

Start to Death - 34:07 
Cause - Ran into a hippo 
Death Count - 1
Again, a purposeful death to end a Quick Look. Technically however, your character doesn't "die." He does go unconscious, gets sent back to the base camp, and wakes up in daze, which is all good enough for me.
