Yeah, Vinny mentioned something about "his coffee" telling him where to go next. I guess that's Drew. :P

There are save points after major plot points/new locations, so that's probably it.

The soundtrack and Agent Francis York Morgan's schizophrenic rant to Zach about the bonus materials on DVDs makes me want this game now. Man Brad does not like this game.

I'm just going to say it, I still way prefer the BR style of play better than VJ. I like the stop for nothing attitude better than the observe every single little thing attitude.

Funny how both Ryan and Vinny expressed their hate for the doorknobs at the same time.
 
EDIT: And why the hell is Ryan, of all people, the first to drop a Persona 4 reference? Get up on it, VJ!!!

Brad muttering "what the fuck" before entering the police station pretty much sums up all my feelings about this game. It's really kind of awesome in a lot of funky-ass ways.

Thanks for showing off more of the station that I explored, I'll have to go back in to see those areas. If the keys were maddening, just wait til you hit the sidequest quiz with the nurse (might take a few tries to get to when talking to her).

Looking a little closer at this game, and knowing that it's on its way to me right now, I am totally going to "S" Rank this bitch!
 
Looks like some super easy achievement points in this one.

Damnit, why am I loving this so much!? Oh, yeah, because someone else is sloshing through it and not me. I lose it every time York intros himself; dude is straight up nuts. 
 
I also can't help but chuckle every time the awkwardly mixed music makes a sudden change into another track. It's like two tape decks at full volume, with one person hitting stop on one at the same time someone presses play on another.

So is it me or did Team BR get extra dialogue with meeting Thomas because I remember Team VJ's Thomas meeting being a lot more brief.

The Difficulty ones don't stack, so you have to play this 20-hour game 3 times.

Man this was much better than last time, no complaints about Brad this time, I found the long hunt for the key hilarious haha this is like game satire - but a real game, brilliant! I'm glad I get to see this, it's crazily great and very awful at the same time haha, same with Persona both games I wouldn't touch myself at all haha. Great stuff! 
 
Also it's really quite funny watching how they react both totally differently and exactly the same as the VJ one, I love this haha

Well the gameplay is clunky and probably tedius and will strain them the most, but lucky for us thats not really what this is about. 

This is about Zach loving coffee.

I enjoyed this. Especially because Brad got to explore a lot more, even if not by choice. Or was it choice?

New Rule: Never check the map during dialogue! 
 
It's like the developers just went to Wikipedia to look up random facts about the US.

The keys you give Thomas aren't called the same thing as what he calls them. That's cause your character doesn't know anything about flying squirrel species and identifies them by some characteristic (tails), Thomas calls them by something different so you don't know what the scientific name is until you bring it back to him.

I think Team BR are starting to hit their stride. Before they were just rushing through the game, but now we're starting to see some real differentiation that justifies there being two Endurance Runs. I would really like to see some ERs of Heavy Rain or Mass Effect in this split team format. I suppose it wouldn't be so much of a test of endurance, since those games are already played and generally well liked among the GB staff, but I just wanna see the different choices they make (and the riffs).

Woah woah wait. That part where Emily walked into the room thomas was in while they were looking for the key.
 Do people have  a majora's mask like schedule to their days in this, or was that scripted for her to walk in after the players walk in? 
I am a huge sucker for a game where the npc's have a majora's mask like schedule to their days.
 
Edit also what was with that Dinner symbol for 09:00-13:00, when they had untill 09:00-21:00 right above it?

Anyone else getting weirded out by the fact that while the two teams are supposedly not talking to each other about what going on in their ER(as heard in VJ-03), both teams seem to stop playing at just about the exact same point each day?

@Ulong All characters have schedules which depend on various variables (day of investigation, weather). These schedules can even take them from one place on the map/in the town to another. Also, you can eat lunch at the Sheriff station each day between 9:00 - 13:00, no matter what your mission is about or when it has to be triggered.
