Endurance Run

Endurance Run: Deadly Premonition: Part BR-14

I like the jungle vibe you've got going here, Becky, but you should really have someone spray for zombies.

Vinny and Jeff sit down and take a crack at the latest game in the Shin Megami Tensei series. Will they make it through the entire game?

Apr. 22 2010

Cast: Ryan, Brad

Ryan. Take the goddamn controller from that man.
 
I can't stand, in this economy, people with amazing jobs that just don't fucking deserve them. Get Brad off of that goddamn crew, I will GLADLY replace him. It was bad enough the first 13 episodes, where he just doesn't feel like doing anything right (reloading, using health kits, washing clothes, checking the map, going back for honor, proper dungeon direction), but in this one you start blatantly telling him what to do, and he's just like... "Naw dawg. That shit ain't me"

I'm sorry Brad, but I'm going to have to agree with the critics (who I normally absolutely hate). This is getting a bit aggravating to watch. 
 
Still, keep on trucking! In it 'till the end. Nothing stops the Endurance Run, motherfucker.

Three Arrested Development references in 30 seconds time. Team BR are my new Heroes. We're talking singing "You Are the Wind Beneath My Wings" level.

Its annoying when people expect GB to be excellent at video games.  Being good is not their job.  It's to provide insight on games based on vast knowledge and respected opinions.  They are doing these kinds of things for fun.  If i were playing a game i really didn't want to then i probably would be trying that hard to do well either.  He's just trying to get through the game, i doubt he's trying real hard to find the best way to do things.  He just wants it to be over.

I know I would be mad if Brad was running around reading from a FAQ and getting every side quest he could done. I want to watch him screw up, because that's what people normally playing games do.

This ER is convincing me that Brad is a fucking moron.  He's still a funny person, but his hand-eye coordination and thought process is so poor it means he probably shouldn't be a professional video game critic.  Just seeing how absolutely awful he is at simple quick-time events (you can literally HEAR his minds' cogs clinking together only slightly before the time he fails) makes me wary to trust a review of his again.

It may aswell be real time as getting around and wasting time is so tedious. It's not like in Shenmue when you could waste time just by playing games in the arcade or train.

I do love Brad. And I agree wholeheartedly that he is an amazing addition to the crew. Without him, nobody would pull a Brad anymore. And that would be about as bad as not reloading or getting jumped by the first zombie. However, its true. I shout at the monitor a dozen or so times every BR episode for when Brad doesn't do stuff he should be doing...
 
You know, Vinny casts Bufu. But that was just once (or twice). And it was hilarious. :P 
 
Still, Endurance Brad gotta keep on truckin'. I just hope we can keep on watching Brad do the truckin'. (Imagine how Ryan feels?)

 You guys should just buy tons of 10mm ammo, that will greatly reduce the tedious pistol battles. You never really run out of money and by the end you're rich so you might as well use it on ammo. 
 
Your money pinching behaviour is unwarranted and tied to some deeply rooted gaming pathology!!!

Great episode as usual... but please stop shooting crates.  Use the melee weapons.  It's so much faster. And use the machinegun! You can easily afford to buy more bullets if you run low.

They pick up a new golf club and the game tells them they're maxed out on SMG bullets, so they exclusively use the pistol.

I think Brad's problem is he hates playing the game and probably only doing this ER because something's at stake.  I don't think his intelligence has anything to do with it.  Also I believe they're doing episodes back to back a lot of the times and not day-to-day so they're probably playing Deadly premonition an hour or two a day at the end of a work day.  For Brad, the man who seems to be tired all hours of the day, playing a game he has no interest in after eating lunch or before going home is probably the reason for his slow reaction times and lack of hand-eye coordination.  And not trusting his reviews would mean you think Uncharted 2 was a terrible game and then you would just be crazy.

For the love of God, give Ryan the fucking controller.  The idea of a professional video game critic playing so poorly is nauseating.  While obviously due to his lack of skill and investment, Brad continues to blame the game for his poor performance.  It has gotten to a point where Ryan is telling the him what to do.

Brad, you are completely full on 10mm auto bullets.  Maybe you should consider using some of them.  A single pack seems to be one full reload, which is 180 bullets.  You essentially have thousands of shots!

This, kinda. I'm surprised at people saying Brad is a moron, they won't trust his opinions, he doesn't deserve his job (lol), etc. He doesn't need to be a good gamer to be an excellent games journalist.
