Great, now I gotta shave too. Man, I wish Brad would elaborate of that Keith guy. I hope he talks about it in the Giantbomb book. I would really read it. I've always been interested in biographies and history and i want the skinny on the Bombsquad: Their early lives, their time at Gamespot, their views on the world... Damn! I want to know! Chapter 14: Keith the dick.
Brad and Ryan's comfortable lead has slipped and the Persona 4 veterans are closing in. I guess they have more Endurance Run experience.
I was feeling happy for Brad because he was just commenting on missing the machine gun...then they pass it up...all that after they were just talking about how they could be getting some great rewards.
...and then they go back to finish the worthless Polly quest. Come on.
" goddamnit brad edit: GODDAMNIT BRAD edit: Infinite machine gun and possible infinite shotgun? NO f-that let's go fishing :( "
What the hell is wrong with everyone? Do you REALLY WANT Brad to get the infinite SMG? Then both QL's would turn out identical, that'd be really stupid. I'm sure Brad knew exactly what they were and didn't want to do it for that reason. What you need to do is stop complaining so freaking much and enjoy the ER. "
Yeah, that's a good point. I actually would prefer they do different side quests if possible, just so we can see different aspects of the game. I disagree that Brad knew what they were doing :p
I'm just constantly dumbfounded by the fact that both groups have already seen the benefits of doing side missions (radio, improved car, better weapon), yet they still go out of their way to avoid them when possible. It makes the game itself harder to play for them and less enjoyable for us.
Also quite astounded by their map reading skill. Yes, the design sucks and the layout of the town is horrible, but I don't get how they could be lost looking at the same map again and again. These guys give great commentaries, but they just don't seem to have the keen observation skill and that OCD'ness necessary for these adventure/RPG games. I still maintain that GB needs an editor specialized in those genre. If this is an indication of how they play through games of similar ilk, I don't think I can trust their reviews on them.
" Hilarious. Define irony: They lament about "missing" the infinite SMG quest, and then they pass up the very same infinite SMG quest. Only in the Endurance Run. "
It's like watching the end of Dumb and Dumber every day.

You can complain all you want about them playing this game, but can you really blame them for not wanting to spend too much time going on side missions, and there by extending the experience?
I love how BR and VJ make the same pop culture references when they hit the same scene
Yeah, I really didn't get the "I think we missed the side mission from Keith. oh hey, let's not do this side mission that was just given to us by Keith."
And again, Yeah, Brad is really really... unobservant. Not understanding "Stop and reset boxes" is only one example. A few episodes ago asked in all seriousness, "does this 10mm ammo work with our submachine gun?" The same submachine gun, which is NAMED 10mm sub machine gun.
@MeruFM: We're not mad that the game isn't played optimally, we're mad that the game is played atrociously. It's upsetting when professional reviewers cannot understand the simple logic in their own full-time work, including not figuring out "Stop" or "Reset Boxes". When you play games for a living you don't have to be perfect, but should be exponentially better than what this ER has shown.
I usually don't care, but this time even I had to post something a little more passionate than normal (in a half-joking, half-crazy, totally-unedited kinda way).
I just want to hear the super-excited commentary when they get some of the awesome stuff they are two inches from at any given time. Brad and Ryan getting as happy as they were about the radio was gold.
Omg... lol. Rule 1 of any rpd sort of game, side quests get you the awesome shit... when you have to fork over a pile of money to get the quest it's always going to be worth the effort.
