Err.... is this the only endurance episode you watched?

Swery should personally thank the top advertisers of this game.


Maybe buy them a coffee, ain't that right, Zach?


Am i right in assuming that VJ recorded this right after the previous episode, which is why they sound so tired?

Vinny didn't say anything because he was afraid Jeff might start recording an impromptu Borderlands: Gear Box In Deadly Premonitions Quick Look.

Talk to the zombie and convince him to join you! That's what Atlus would have done if they developed it.

Seeing how every other zombie by now drops a steel pipe or some sort, why the heck not use them. Justa few episodes ago they spoke all the time how they wish they had a steel pipe because it gave alot of damage, but i guess they forgot about that... 
Stop using the pistol already goddammit! 
 
Also, vinny and jeff sure do have short attention spans, they do one thing and suddenly if something interrupt they easly forget what they did previously and just move on, really jarring for the viewer. 
 
Anyways, me and zach will tune in tomorrow, as always, for more!

In fact that zombie is one of the 108 stars.  I can't wait until York takes over the town's run-down castle. That's when the game really opens up.  Deadly Premokoden.

Vinny seems to be getting frustrated with the sheer number of shots it takes to breaks crates.  You should try using melee weapons on crates to see if they break faster, they don't seem to wear out very fast anyway.  Loving the ER videos.  I think the only way this could get funnier is if at the end, all 4 of you write a different review and each give it a different score.  I will stay tuned for more.

Yeah, seriously, that's totally backwards.  Mostly all VJ ever do is poke fun at the jank offhandedly, which is entertaining.  Occasionally they objectively voice a dislike here and there, but that's good to hear, too.  BR is where most of the genuine negativity is at, mostly from Brad with his complaints and groans and sighs at not just issues the game has but at just generally being required to do stuff.

On the off chance that either of you are reading these comments (and not worried about breaking the "pure deadly premonition experience"):
1.USE THE MELEE WEAPONS TO BREAK CRATES AND FENCES.  You don't have to be that conservative with your iron pipes and such.  Saves a lot of time.
2.  Most of the open world stuff doesn't open up until after the "Town Hall Meeting" event.  After that, take the time to explore the town because it'll pay off later.   For example, cars that have a top speed above 60 mph!!!  The "time limits" for each story section of the game reset every day, so theres no penalty for spending all your time exploring (except the sheriff's pissy remarks)
 
Super hard to resist being a backseat driver while your watching these things.  Anyway, loving these endurance runs, keep it up guys!

One other tip: you don't HAVE to kill everybody.  I was really bad at that at the start, and in you guys's defense, the tight hallways in the lumber mill make it difficult to evade enemies.  But by the end of the game, I estimate I was running past 75% of the enemies.  Of course, it helped that I had most of the infinite weapons and so didn't have to hunt for ammo or anything.

Seriously, there's no reason to save them. Pretty soon they will have the infinite ammo SMG, and they will probably never use anything but that and the shotgun for the majority of the game.

Some will have doubtlessly already pointed this out, but these zombies need to make up their minds. We can either Let You Die, or You Don't Want To Die, can't have it both ways.

Notifications are off, but this game only has 12 achievements anyway and according to their profile pages it seems both teams have only gained 1 so far. It seems that Brad is playing on his own profile but Vinny is using Jeffs.

I said this on brad and ryan's ER. Just some spoiler free advice. when it says to move the L stick back and forth, you can just rotate it.  It works faster too
