If there is one thing these ER's have shown, it's different play styles. Brad has a radically different gameplaying style to Vinny, and whilst that may be fine in other games, it is making Deadly Premonition harder than it might need to be. But there is nothing wrong with that; it is simply a matter of style. 1956 style.

Unbelievable. Oh BR, the pain and frustration you cause. Oh 7 minutes to figure out that the red sparkling deers are the one to interact. Oh taking a zombie with 3 clips of fbi gun. Oh constantly swaping to the ice axe just to break a box. Oh Brad being so sure of himself saying that this is the main suit. After this episode and the last one I need a full weekend of spa and massages.

And this is the irrefutable proof that the people who complain about the people who complain about Brad's playing abilities are WRONG. I swear, the BR ER makes VJ look like video game geniuses. At this point, I'm watching the BR run only because (A) I want to see their reactions to all the crazy shit that's coming and (B) I don't want to stop watching ER episodes, now that VJ is done.

goddamn I was thinking that they should have hit the deer heads the whole time; it's the only reason they'd have put the steel pipe there- in case the players has no melee weapons.

I feel Brad's pain. Back in the day, I was stuck for more than a year at something even stupider in Space Quest III. I would get into a grabber crane, pick up the warp engine, and drop it into the derelict space ship. I could then not for the life of me figure out what to do. I was stuck in the grabber forever.
 
It turns out all I had to do was type "get out". 
 
My only defence is that I was very, very young at the time, but to this day I try not to rag on people for not seeing obvious solutions.

Why did both teams put a focus on the opposite deer heads?

" These dueling endurance runs are a great demonstration on why you should attack obstacles with a positive outlook. The VJ run accepted the shortcomings of this game, made the best of them, and got through the game without too much trouble. BR are having a much worse time. Their apathy, scorn, and frustration seem to get in the way and they end up lost and dead much more, generally accompanied by tons of complaining. All four guys are obviously very capable game players, but attitude seems to divide how much enjoyment they get out of the game and how well they do in it. Luckily for us, both ERs are fun. "
This was my revelation last time. I realized that, for whatever reason, Vinny and Jeff accepted that the game was shitty and sort of adapted, but Brad and Ryan keep treating it as though it's competently made and that's what's getting them killed time and again. Don't get me wrong, the game has charmed me with its personality, but it is a POORLY made game. But if your only argument (not the person I'm quoting, but the general "you") is that Brad is bad at games, that's bullcrap.

Brad always says that it's the game's fault that he does so poorly, and while he's right about the gun-play and controls being pretty bad, he still played the game in an incredibly sloppy fashion.

Finally making it through these Endurance Runs and it kind of boggles my mind how bad Brad is at the game. Granted, the combat is not great and I died at least once to the wall ladies but goddamn it, Brad was pretty pathetic. It was funny how exasperated he became though. I'm watching the BR ER first but I'm hoping Jeff and Vinny at least figured out early on that the shotgun is the way to go against the wall ladies. Also, why all the weapon switching Brad? He's got an unlimited ammo SMG and yet constantly pulls out a melee to break boxes. Ryan's commentary has made it watchable though. I never get tired of hearing "Oh goddamn it, Brad!"

Vinny heckling Brad and Ryan over their collective overthinking of a fairly simple puzzle was hilarious to me. Probably because I've had similar instances in my own past with overthinking simple puzzles and having to stop my game for minute while I laugh at myself.
