A list of Brad's longest, quickest, and everything in between, "Start to Death" times during official Giant bomb video game Quick Looks (only!).
"Start to Death" is defined as the time elapsed between the start of the Quick Look, and Brad dying, regardless of the method.
Readers are reminded that, "it's tougher to play and talk at the same time, than you think."
Of course, this list is on-going and will likely change as Brad continues to do Quick Looks, but for now it should be comprehensive. To be fair, as well, there are a number of Quick Looks that Brad does not die in... but they are, of course, ignored.
Also, in the case of games with multiple Quick looks, the first Quick look, even if for a Demo, is the one that counts.
Enjoy!
This is the original Quick Look Start to Death list, but it seems to have started a trend since it's inception.
Probably a bit of over-kill, but credit should be given where credit is due, right?
RJPelonia did go back to watch every Quicklook video to collect the data for his lists. So, you can find links to other GB members' STD's (unfortunate acronym isn't it?) on HIS LISTS PAGE.
As of March 7th 2012. This list has been officially retired.
After setting a new record on his 100th QL Start to Death Record. Brad has been officially released of his curse... or at least the recording of it. This is partially because the list has become a little too large to easily manage, but mostly because the joke has, unfortunately, seemed to have played itself out.
Thank you, Brad, as they say, for the memories.

Start to Death - 0:22
Cause - Shot in the damned face
For Brad's 100th Quicklook Anniversary, Brad decided to BREAK THE RECORD by almost halving the previous record holder!
Start to Death - 0:38
Cause - Brad logs in, activates the maximum armor on his suit for an inquiring co-host (Jeff)... and is abruptly rewarded with a shot to the face.
Our Current Record holder!! Surely it can't be beaten... surely, there can be no quicker a death!...right?
Edit: It can, and has
Start to Death - 0:49
Cause - Jumped into (not on-to) a Goomba
Brad claims to have been knocked into the Goomba by one of his compatriots... you decide.
Regardless, this previous record holder (which held the title for nearly a year!) is also one of the greatest examples of Pullin' a Brad for the entire Quicklook!
Start to Death - 1:00
Cause - "OH NO, I've been- I forget what they call that... stasis module-ed"
Multiplayer games are a fantastic place to experience Brad doing his thing (quickly).
Start to Death - 1:06
Cause - Suicide (Hammering a Fuel Tank)
The former record holder, with such a minuscule time, it was hard to believe it would ever be broken!
(Arguably the funniest death on the list).
Start to Death - 1:17
Cause - Cube(d...?)
Start to Death - 1:47
Cause - Died in combat... on Monday (somewhere).
Start to Death - 1:58
Cause - Shot by his Target, all the while utterly confused about who was shooting him, and who he should be killing.
Start to Death - 2:01
Cause - Bombed on...
Though there is a funny moment where Brad thinks he has died, at a mere 1:00 in, by driving his jeep into the ocean, which would have been a new record (had it been true, and had it not been broken again by New Super Mario Wii since then). Thankfully, he figures it out 17 seconds later, and swims to shore. "I thought I was dead."
Start to Death - 2:03
Cause - Old age... Just kidding, it was a zombie. duh.
And I quote, "zombie's doing their job" -Brad
