Vinny: Quick Look Start to Death Time

by rjpelonia


Power outages have no effect on "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 Vinny!

"Start to Death" is defined as the time elapsed between the start of the Quick Look, and Vinny 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."

This was part of a Quick Look where Jeff and Vinny looked at various fighting games. Which led to Vinny getting Burning Knuckle'd to the face, courtesy of Jeff Gerstmann. Also, Jeff cheated by giving himself infinite P power.
