Most of the side quests that I found were depending on certain times in the day/night but not during the missions. After dealing with the hospital I went back in to find a sidequest on talking to the nurse. I'm still in this first chapter on the next day so I've not gotten that far ahead past seeing what happens around 4am in the game, good time to go out for a drive around town to fish or do the driving minigames.   

 
Believe that as you're crouched down that you are holding your breath hence the near heart attack. Just found out today while playing that after hitting a few lightpoles with the car that there was a bill in the sherrif's desk that had some bills but you do get $ in the game for shaving, cleaning your suits, checking in daily, etc.

Lost spoilers, jeez! =)

I'm guessing he's not just ducking, but holding his breath like the kid explained in a previous dream. Hence his extreme reaction to "ducking" for too long.

Dr. Usher reminds me of Drebin.

Anyone else think Emily looks a lot like Naomi Watts?

Thank you so much for the LOST reference Ryan.

 brad, two things - you can actually run through the door, it's unbelievable how incompetent you're at playing(not to try it once?) hehe. 
and stop saying game is terrible, it's really good once you appreciate for what it actually is.
fact for ignorant folks, 
 this game costs full $60 in Japan, at $20 here in states it's a great deal for sure for one of the quirkest, most bizarre and original titles out there, 
also - destructoid gave it 10/10, where they gave heavy rain 7/10, which pissed alot of fanboys out there. 

Brad, Ryan - comment more, like in that "Grandmaster" chess bit. That, and you can overthrow Vinny and Jeff from the Endurance Run post.

Also, Brad - press A and let's go. Get into the vibe, like Ryan did, which was totally unexpected.

so wait...RYAN WATCHES LOST!?

I love how they were both worried about the chess puzzle yet they got it faster than VJ, great job BR

Does anyone else think that supposedly teenaged Anna Graham looks more like she's in her early 40s?

" Does anyone else think that supposedly teenaged Anna Graham looks more like she's in her early 40s? "

The reason crouching gets ya so much is because you're holding your breath. Remember the scene where little boy tells you about it?

You guys spoil us!

First thing Brad says: "We're playing this shitty game".
 
 Awesome.

This hospital makes me want to watch Garth Marenghi's Darkplace.

"This game has achievements right? " 
 
yes. of course.

  and BR takes a commanding lead    

I want this to come out on another platform, at least PC!!!! PLEASE!

BR! Do what VJ did!
 
Run while going through doors, you'll open them much quicker.  Don't know if you did it yet

Did I just figure this game out?  SPOILER WARNING: Click here to reveal hidden content.

York is a slightly psycho badass. I love his creepy-ass devilish grins, best thing ever.

Oddly enough, while listening to the whistling song, I noticed the chords and harmonies matched up to something that I felt was familiar. Then it hit me - the Super Mario World music for the first couple of areas! Seriously, try whistling it while the whistling music comes on, it sounds GREAT.

Has anyone mentioned that Emily's character model looks exactly like Naomi Watts? Just saying...

dude i dont know which is better.VJ or BR

Imagine if Brad and Jeff did these. *giggle*

"Some shitty game we're playing here..." 

Brad, no one has ever spoken more truthful words.

The mirrors in this world have anti-aliasing turned all the way off.

Nice LOST reference there, Ryan.

You guy's know that the bright blue spots are items you can pick up, right? That's why you got a first aid kit instead of interacting with the TV. You walked through a whole room of them at 32 min, thinking they were interaction points with the beds.

Lovin' the BRo run. Keep it up!
 
I wonder how asynchronous the VJ and BR runs are gonna get. If Team BR is already ahead after 4 episodes, what's it gonna be like at episode 50?

Oh wow you know I actually want this game now, just to own it... it's so weird. I mean its BAD real BAD but something is really oddly cool about it despite its terribleness. I like games like that. Reminds me of dead rising.

 Thank you Giant Bomb for turning me on to Twin Peaks! 
 
P.S.
Brad you can watch the whole sires on tv.com except the pilot... which you have to track down online. but i do know of such a place =)

" Dr. Usher reminds me of Drebin. "

"Hurrah! "

I just realized something. Why are they assuming the killer's a male? I thought those F.B.I. types don't make assumptions on gender like that.

I think it's because he holds his breath when he crouches.  To avoid those creatures.

Note to self: Don't crouch unless you want a heart attack.

" Nice LOST reference there, Ryan. "

Ryan scared the shit out of me when he shouted BOOM!

The game audio seems crazy low on this episode.

" Whistle song full MP3 and guitar chord txt...

Is that guy's hair getting all nappy?  Do you need to have showers in this game to remain well-groomed or something?
 
And no matter how trippy and disturbing this game tries to make its cut scenes, it can NEVER match the real thing:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0CGzPaJUOE

I still can't go over the built in do not enter signs and USHAAAAAAAAAAH. :D

MY GUESS IS:
 
That York is one of those kids we saw at the beginning and Zack is his brother.

Okay, I can't watch anymore until I play this game! Thank you for the Run guys... it gave me another game to try!
