Brad and Ryan, as sure as I was to think they would not have the patience for it, were the truly touched on this run, while Vinny and Jeff seemed real glad that it was over. Funny how you always get the unexpected, right, Zach?

No, it wouldn't be way, way more fun. 
 
I really enjoyed watching these guys, as well as Vinnie and Jeff, play through this game. In fact, it's because of this endurance run that I've went out and got the game for myself. Furthermore, they helped make the game somewhat popular with this endurance run. 
 
Nonetheless, very enjoyable ER guys. Kudos to the entire gang.

I love how Brad and Ryan warmed up to this game. It has shit graphics and gameplay, but the story and the characters make it a special game.

Thanks for another great Endurance Run guys! Watching Brad kinda struggle through it in places was all part of the charm. I hope all your "let's never do this again" bravado is quashed sooner rather than later.

Did anyone pick up on Emily's words of    "Let me Die"
The same words all the "zombie" enemies said.
 
Oh yeah, thanks to Vinny, Jeff and especially Brad and Ryan for letting
us watch you endure :)
 
I'm pretty sure it won't be the last endurance run...
my fingers are crossed

Thanks Brad and Ryan, this was an enjoyable ER, liked the double feature style and had something to look forward to every day. Can't wait for the next "season" of ER after some hiatus!

Congratulations to Bradley and Mr. Ryan Davis on their first completed Endurance Run. 
Their run had it's own charm and they seem like they enjoyed enduring in the end, hopefully they will jump into another game. 
Personally I enjoyed the BR credits roll episode more, they seemed more 'into it'.

Thanks for the ER, Brad and Ryan! No matter the skill, the team, or the game, the ERs tend to be the best part of my day. 
 
Deadly Premonition was a hell of a ride. Take a rest, you deserve it. But please do more ERs in the future. Please?

SWERY said that zombies are the spirits of the people from 50 years ago. They didn't exist physically, but in your mind.
 
Also Kaysen comes from the realm of the Red World, he was never human.

I did seem like Brad was pretty off his game with the later episodes of the DP, and apparently he had some stuff going on in RL that may have affected his performance. So I can understand having other, more important, things on your mind that can affect the simplest of activities in a bad way.

 

That said, congrats Brad and Ryan for finishing!

Wonder why they kind of both seem so eager to not do another endurance run.. 
I realise it eats in their work, but it is a popular feature on the site. 
Not that I want to see it abused and pointless, but definitely want them to continue doing them for special titles.

You say that like they have done tons of ER's of shitty games. Unless I have really missed something there has been two ER's.   Deadly Premonition is them doing an ER of an entertaining, but admittedly bad, game. The Persona 4 ER is them doing an endurance run of a good game.  So far we have one of each.

No.
 
Because a) it is more entertaining for us because they can make fun of the game while they are playing it and b) everyone who wants to has already played Fallout 3 and Dragon Age because those are good games with a lot of exposure and watching a couple of other people play it would have just been boring.
 
The Endurance Run should be for weird, low-profile games that most people probably would not play.
 
Also I still wonder what's behind that door in the special room.

Awful game that somehow had good voice acting and a decent story (borrowing heavily from Twin Peaks of course.) I've still got questions, but knowing the source there are no answers.

@Olivaw: Persona 4 is considered a great game by critics, the staff and people with good taste.
 
Deadly Premonition is considered a great game by people with good taste. Which is all that matters.

On the morning radio podcast they have an interview with Swery via the voice actor who plays Francis York Morgan. It's pretty great. You can hear it at the 3hr 15m mark (yes, their podcast is stupid long)

I really appreciated Ryan, and how gracious he was about the experience. Listening to them through this whole series, you get a sense for how frustrating and grueling this is for them at times, and to be able to step back a little here at the end and say "the flaws of this game are legion but I cared about it in a way I rarely do..." and be able to talk about why... that's awesome.
