Patrick will step up to the plate and create an endurance run solo.

I just wanna see Vinny complete his castlevania playthoughs. Although with just him and Alex there it might get boring when he gets stuck 
Technically he's already completed multiples games on his shows. It took him a while but he eventually finished that awful Blair Witch game and most recently, the Outlast DLC.

Yes, Giant Bomb has occasionally done the same thing during UPF or some quick looks.
The Endurance Run will live on, it will just have a different name.

That's an Exhaustion Run; it will never end unless he gives in to his weariness.

It ends when Brad wins The International.

It surprisingly works but i could imagine a spammer spamming all the mods.

Is there a distinction between an actual Endurance Run (beyond the name) and stuff like VinnyVania and Vinny playing Dark Souls/Brad playing Demon Souls?
ER was on a set schedule. As in a new video every monday. I think it was Monday?
One is a regular feature with daily episodes. The other is irregular and less structured.
Completely wrong. It was every day except for Saturday and Sunday.
ERs are daily content, the others arent tied to a schedule

Ahh i see, thanks.
Nothing stops an Endurance Run. Giant Souls and VinnyVania come and go.

I'm pretty sure VJ even recorded Persona 4 episodes to air during E3. That's dedication.
EDIT: Okay that's totally not true. Still though. Few things stop the Endurance Run.

I would be interested in a Vinny/Alex endurance run.

I'm pretty sure that's exactly why they stopped doing ERs.
GB crew likes to be flexible instead of being tied down by scheduled content (their one weekly show nonwithstanding).
Patrick with his frequent streaming seems to be the one most open to do an Endurance Run. Too bad he's alone in Chicago.
Which game?

Any game, really. If I had to suggest one, I'd say the latest Yakuza game.

Majora's Mask Endurance Run, just to irk Jeff.
They should play Butcher Bay & Dark Athena. Vinny said he wanted to play it again on the bombcast. It's not long enough to be an endurance run, but could be a fun thing to ease the new pairing into a video series.

Nah, narrative heavy stuff is the best. It's what makes the persona and DP ERs so great.
That's why I'll recommend monster girl quest.

EarthBound has always been my secret hope. Woulda fit the format a lot better than Chrono Trigger, anyway.

Yakuza 3 seemed like the perfect ER game.
Its weird and Japanese
Its long but not crazy 100 hours P4 long
The franchise could use some better western exposure
Its a shame they didnt do it.

Who would play it though?
Patrick already completed it on his own.
Katawa Shoujo is the perfect ER game.
Didn't stop him from doing a Chrono Trigger ER, though.

I doubt Alex will be keen to play some anime game. Or Vinny for that matter. Hope they play something fun to watch, and not require viewers to read a bunch of text. I think Yakuza 3 is a great game but there's a lot of slow stuff and a lot of text conversations that mightn't make for great viewing.

Katawa Shoujo, eroge scenes on.
Yeah, I think he said he had played it as a kid, so it was less fresh in his memory.

It's really this weird fork in the road where Y3 becomes the super popular Japanese game and we get Y5/Inshin in the west instead of seven different Persona 4 spinoff games.
Ha, so in an alternate universe where GB did an Endurance Run of Yakuza

Like I said, we would have gotten Yakuza 5!
I'd like to think that they would have gotten charmed by the orphans the same way they were with Nanako, and then gotten into the story pretty hard. They probably would have loved the CIA stuff too. lol
Only a year left on Giant Bomb. Once you guys win the International, the show will be picked up by ESPN.

So, no MK8 Quick Look?

I like Giant Bomb but the SF crew is very rarely open-minded about things they've already dismissed.
Probably for the better.
Alex said on twitter he's coming to town at some point this week and they'll probably record it then
ShockingAlberto

There might be a video embargo, but MK8TV is up, Gametrailers' video review is up, and I've seen people streaming it on twitch.
So beats me. Maybe those are all short enough to get around a video embargo. I guess the most likely reason is they sent their copy to Alex for review and would have to wait to buy a copy before they can do any video of it.
Jeff also thought the game released last week so I doubt anyone really cares that much.
Edit: Or Alex is doing it.

Crispy, are you the new hire and Senior Dota 2 Editor?

Maybe it's one of those embargoes where you can only post specific videos for it, and that's why gametrailers can use footage of it?
I remember nintendo being fond of doing that.
