Just watch it. NOW!
Does anybody know if Brad has seen this? It's far too awesome for him not to have...
he has, posted about it on twitter.

While we are talking the P4 ER... I still haven't played persona 4.
Maybe if I get a vita and the golden is brought over

Same here. I am a bizarre person that never had a PS2. I owned a Dreamcast so I was spiteful about the PS2 basically killing that off. Then I bought an Xbox in 02' and never got a second console that generation. I only ever borrowed friend's PS2s or played it at their house.
If Persona 4 is brought to Vita I may I have to buy one.

The sheer amount of time and energy required to make this... My god
Definitely worth watching ASAP.

You'll hate doing that when you're playing through The Golden's new content and there's no commentary for it. Watch it nooooooooooowwww
I'll go ahead and suggest this is a bad idea. The Chrono Trigger ER happened to coincide with a replay I was in the middle of, so I decided to wait on them and try to play along with them and found that it's really hard to try and keep pace with another person playing a JRPG.
Sometimes they die too, and spend days fishing and doing other random stuff, so unless someone managed to copy what they were doing they'd probably see different scenes and fuse different personas anyway. So it would be even harder to keep at the same pace.

Yeah, whether you watch it now or later, make sure that you watch the P4 endurance run eventually. It's by far the funniest and most entertaining content GB has produced yet. It starts a bit slow but picks up pretty fast.

I've only seen Chrono, how's it rank against that?

Oh, only like 5x more entertaining.
Absolutely. The Chrono Trigger Endurance Run is not even comparable.
The Vinny and Jeff Deadly Premonition Endurance Run is my favorite piece of Giant Bomb content. Absolute fucking gold. All of it.
Although Brad and Ryan's DP ER was pretty good too. I was crazy enough to watch both at the same time.
EDIT: I remember now that's the one I watched as they were first going through it, that's why I watched both. I actually went back and watched the Persona 4 Endurance Run after Deadly Premonition once I saw what was so awesome about the ERs.
I think I'll watch the best of videos instead
You should really just start from the beginning. It's honestly the best thing I've ever seen on the internet.
There are portions you can tune out, like some of the lengthy grinding sessions, but most of it is hysterically funny.

That QL graphic must have taken so much work... and it's so worth it.
Fusion episodes were great, and by great, I mean incredibly tedious.
Vinny and Jeff are just lucky I like the sounds of their voices. I think I've fallen asleep listening to them joking about Persona fusing.
It's perfect for having on in the background while you're doing homework, I find.
Way more entertaining. The Deadly Premonition runs are pretty great too. I like J/V's more but B/R had its moments.

Interesting.
Tested.com has a story about that Kara demo before Giantbomb does.
that brings Whiskey Medias GDC coverage up to ...(drum roll)..... 3 written stories.
Here is hoping for some videos next week.
I want to know what Speed tree is up to this year. They lost there deal with Bethesda so I am sure they have something to prove. In fact I hope we get the traditional GiantBomb tour of the GDC floor
And I hope with the hiring of serious game journalist Patrick Klepick that we will see some mature stories and interviews with industry people this year.
Also they really did a great job last year at GDC. nightly podcasts, A interview with Sweary. a few show floor videos. rewatching the sweary video now.

Loooooooooooool. (check the comments)
Why would you want to read an article about any of that?
Here I'll write them Kotaku style for you.
Hey guys Phil fish was mean to Japan *sadface.
Hey guys here is a bunch of npd numbers stolen from the gaf thread.
Hey guys Sony had a vita event that had nothing important.
Also unreal guys are saying their new shit will be awesome, what a shocker right? Thought they might say it sucks.
You're welcome.
I kind of want a t-shirt now that just says "FUCK YOU RYAN DAVIS".

Maybe he should have contacted Phil fish and ask him to comment on that mess. That seems like something smart to do. It seems to be a Klepick trademark to go into super detail when ever something dumb happens. His overblown Uncharted 8/10 coverage, his story about that SFxT sexist thing being the examples that jump to mind.
NPD's... well normally not very important with the launch of a new system I think it was something worth reporting on.
Shocking that I would want gaming coverage on a gaming site during one of the biggest gaming events of the year I know. Its not like they hired a dedicated news guy for this very purpose and sent him to the damn event or anything....
Hopefully we see some fruits of them going to GDC this coming week. I dont even know which of them actually went this year.
Also Jeff said he was sick and couldn't interview Tony Hawk and missed most of the show but Patrick apparently went to a bunch of talks so hopefully he has something to report next week. Hopefully they do another floor tour video. With all these developers showing off there next gen tech I want to know what the next gen holds for Speed Tree and Giantbomb is my go to site for Speed Tree coverage.
Reporting on self-important forum "outrage du jour" stuff like this Phil Fish nonsense is exactly what GB doesn't and shouldn't do, and they're a better site for it. Go to Kotaku if you want your GAF ego stroked.
Anyway their lack of GDC coverage is perfectly fine. This hasn't been an eventful GDC, they can just fit everything in on the next bombcast.

Thank you. Somebody tell Patrick this so he knocks it the hell off. GB getting turned into a gossip rag.

I hope they do, the panels that I've seen mentioned on GAF and Twitter all sound rather interesting (bar SimCity, lol). That's what I want, I just want plenty of developer chatter and panel round-ups.
I could get it from elsewhere, probably. I haven't checked Gamasutra in a while...

Wait, Jeff didn't get to interview Hawk? Boo!
Was looking forward to that. Other than that, I'm okay with no real GDC stuff.

Three days...
Hah, it's a lot when you're used to 4+ hours of content out of Thursday and Friday.
I guess I'm just spoiled.
Can't believe some people are moaning about this... One of the senior editors on the site has his dad in hospital! They're a small team, chances are this has hit them pretty hard. Any other walk of life and someone in that position would be given compassionate leave.
There's been no new video content for 3 working days. The membership is $50 a year, so you've missed out on what, 50/60 cents? What about when E3 rolls around and you'll get more content than you can watch in a week?
C'mon, give the guys a break. It seems fairly obvious to me that Jeff's at the head of whatever projects were being worked on, so they can't get it ready quite yet.

You thought that shit was overblown but you still want a story on Phil Fish's only slightly dumb story that Inafune basically repeated a day later?
That's the thing that's a little surprising me. Is there really no one else to step in Jeff's place when he's out? That might be asking a bit much when you only have that many people I guess.
Totally understandable that Jeff is out. Not questioning that all.
I'm just being impatient is all. If anything this just shows how much we enjoy their content that we go into withdrawal when it's away for only 3 days.
EDIT:
You also better believe that have my 50 bucks a year as long as they are a functioning site.
