Because enough people wanted it, and because it was the two year anniversary of Giant Bomb's Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 Endurance Run, a thread was created so that we can start to rewatch it... together.

I thought the plan was to start on the 9th. Oh well, the 8th is still perfectly fine. I'll be back in about an hour or two to watch it.
(Also, my first run of the Persona 4 ER. Though I have seen the first episode once or twice, as well as part of the second.)
finished watching. Some awesome quotes from today:
"Ooooh! Is this going to be a gas station attendant simulator?"
"I had to go live with my weird uncle for a year. At first it was kinda weird but...I got into it...out all night...stabbed a guy."
"Let's get liquored up pops! C'mon stubble man throw it back!"
My Internet might be working again! For now. We'll see if it lasts long enough to post this time.
I love the way that Vinny and Jeff immediately assume that Dojima is a miserable drunken salaryman instead of a miserable drunken detective. He always looked a little too square-jawed for me to understand where that impression came from.
And how crazy was it that they showed
Because I got a new computer last week, and it apparently never updated the calendar settings, I've been under the mistaken impression that it was in fact the 9th. I even marked off an extra day on the calendar, assuming I had forgotten to do so. I am an idiot. We'll probably get back on schedule eventually.
Maybe its just me, but knowing the context of how these came together, it's kind of funny to watch these first episodes when you know that Jeff and Vinny had no intention of playing through the whole game. I am curious to find the episode (or episodes) where that attitude changes into "WE GOTTA DO THIS!" Maybe Ep 50? But that's getting ahead of ourselves.
HOLY HELL ENDURANCE RUN BATMAN! I am excite!
I just love how they have NO IDEA of the magic that is about to come. And that they thought it was only gonna be 60 hours long
Should I do it? No, I don't have the time to watch all this again. But then again, it's really good. No, I can't. Or can I... NO! well, maybe... Can I?
Well, that's what most people spend with this game!" I just love how they have NO IDEA of the magic that is about to come. And that they thought it was only gonna be 60 hours long "
Won't be watching, but I'm always game to talk about P4!
I love Chie in iPod commercial mode. And also her cheeky smile at the elevator camera. Man, I'm not one to swoon over naked cartoon pussy, but Atlus did a good job of making some really lasting characters. I even love how dumb she is. So does Jeff if I remember.
"Dude, our girlfriend is dumb, this is awesome!"
" @drag:I've been wondering about that myself. Maybe a new thread every 20 episodes or so? Not sure. "Every video has its own comments section. Why not just use that?
My internet is the most unreliable connection on the planet today for some reason. Spectacular.
@Origina1Penguin:
I'm... not sure. But the thread is already here, and I'm going to use it!
@mutha3:
I did not notice that. Damn the foreshadowing!
@SpikeSpiegel:
I love sending out Mass PM's so much. Last time I had the opportunity was in the ill-fated Arkham Horror game Izzyjam hosted for a while.
...I miss that game so much.
@Brodehouse:
I'm honestly not sure who had the best scene in the intro, except that it definitely wasn't Yosuke. My vote is split between Kanji for backhanding a guy and Rise for her stage-slide.
So, having reacquainted myself with the first episode of this ER, I'm very much looking forward to the thrilling conclusion of "You find yourself alone with Nanako!"
(By the way, this will be the first time I actually make it past that point.)
Not a ton to talk about in this first episode, especially knowing a little about what's to come.
Damn, you started early, I wanted to jump on this the moment...
But still a good initiative, this'll be my third time, but the last one feels like ages ago!
@Turambar:
Well, technically, but if I remember correctly it was pretty obvious that they "cheated" several times, no? :P
There could be. Depends entirely on how much people mind the forums being crazy messy. Personally, I'd feel bad flooding the Persona 4 forum entirely with threads of my creation.
I've watched this ER at least four times front to back since it's started (there's nothing to do in Hong Kong when you go back every bloody year) yet I still have it playing in the background every now and again. I guess I just like the sound of conversation going on in the background not to mention that I'm a big P4 (profile background says it all.)
I'm at the tail end of my own re-endurance run and I want to finish it off... Two Endurance re-Runs sounds like a pretty good crazy.
Is it going to be a strict daily thing or will it adhere to the original series post dates? Because, as I recall, they took a week or so off for E3.
Remember the good days, when, you know man, you just find your self, you find yourself, and you're... you're... sitting alone, with Nanako?
I remember those days.
Also, will this be 5 days a week or 7?
It's gonna take a kind of long time if it is 5.
I started watching the Endurance run when it first came out and had got kicked out of the loop by like episode 15 (I think I went away for a few weeks or something and didn't have the time to watch them all as catchup) so just started on the weekend and up to episode 37 so far! It's so god damn funny. Can even be really nagging at times when they think a persona they have equipped doesn't have a spell when in fact they do and you just want to scream 'NO DUDE! LOOK! ZIA IS RIGHT THEEEEEEERE, ARGH!"
But I know how much more pressure you have when you're being recorded, so it's understandable! :D
