How many people also paused the video to check whether it was their Skype call?

"Maybe you do get the red target on there..."
 
I love you Brad, makes me feel like I could be a doctor despite only knowing how to apply band-aids .

I pretty much assumed he was going to stick with his guns with his predictions (I knew about the story when they started playing this)

Remember kids, never accept a Forrest Kaysen doll from anyone for any reason. It will always end badly.

@Ryan: Technically, York and Zach are one and the same, just two separate personalities. It's quite plausible that for the past 20 years York was in control and in the meantime became a federal agent.

Oh my God...yeah, this is easily one of the best moments from either ER. I'm in fucking tears right now. XD

Since my internet capped it has been throttled way back, so I left the video loading on low progressive since it went up and now it's up to 53 minutes. 
It'll probably be done loading by tomorrow morning...it's 1:57 pm now

Awesome. Crazy that the boss would regenerate health like that. Can't wait for the conclusion on Monday.
 
Also, awesome invisible guns part.

" To be fair to Brad, I died 4 times in the game, and three of them were in this boss battle.   The fight was extremely glitchy, and it makes absolutely NO sense to climb up on a shoulder to shoot at something that you've been aiming for the entire boss fight.  I usually get  frustrated withwith Brad's dumb mistakes (not to the point where it makes me bitch and moan), but I can explain the ones he made here. "
When I played, this boss fight confused me all to hell too. Both the Kaysen and George fights are so tedious that I was positive I was doing something wrong. I thought climbing up Kaysen's arm would trigger some kind of GoW style quick-time event, but I was sadly mistaken. I also had the game freeze during the Kaysen fight, AND I got George stuck in an animation loop that made him indestructible.
 
Never got the invisible guns though. That was pretty sweet.

Despite they're horrific gameplay strategy, I enjoyed their reactions to the story a lot more than Jeff and Vinny's.

I thought Brad and Ryan would finish it up in this episode...they'll be done in the next one for sure.  Going by episode count Vinny and Jeff finished in episode 38, and Brad and Ryan will be done in 41.

 Honestly, I had to climb up Kaysen's arm 4 times before I realized I had to shoot the doll again to finish him off. I thought there was going to be a weak spot on his head or something, but no, you have to shoot the doll in his overalls. Pretty lazy, if you ask me.

On a final note, I wonder why nobody, including Brad and Ryan, pointed out the significance of that "What should I do, York?" line. TV Tropes would call this a Crowning Moment of Awesome, and boy, it was one.

I thought there'd be more of a reaction to both Emily and Zach's mother pleading "Let me die".  Haven't the "zombies" been moaning that all game?  I tried to pick out more "zombie" quotes from his repressed cutscene but didn't get anything solid.

SWERY makes more sense. And if they make a sequel, they won't have to retcon half of the story for it.

@Tsukiyomi SWERY has never made any qualms about admitting that Kojima is one of his main influences/inspirations. Spy Fiction is, for all intents and purposes, a Metal Gear knock-off.

Laughed so much when he got his health back, then the invisible guns was the icing on the cake.
 
Edit: Ok, not so funny when he got his health back the second time. >_>;

Kaysen was obvious from when you first meet him. I can't believe Brad didn't know that was going to happen.

" On Zach being a federal agent, Ryan, I still think he is one. Even if Zach was Zach, he was projecting himself as York, and probably blocking any external factors that would prove otherwise. His full name is Francis Zach (York) Morgan, right? Couldn't he have easily switched those names around? That aside, I doubt he would have the FBI gear.    Damn, Zach is really working those invisible weapons. He could be a mime. "

If you talk to the townspeople afterward you find out that they have no idea who York is. It would seem then that Zach has been introducing himself as "Zach" the entire time but hearing "York" when people talked to him. This would also call back to York saying "I'll let you handle the introductions, Zach." when he first meets George and Emily on the bridge at the beginning of the game. In short, I don't doubt that he's a federal agent. He's just a crazy one.
