Goddamn it VJ, CATCH UP SO WE DON'T HAVE TO WATCH BRAD BE BAD, this is reminding me of P4 ER episodes where you cleared a single floor and then decided to quit for the day.

Oh man. Vinny can't pick up any more melee weapons because he has so many, and he's still shooting fences and grumbling about how many shots they take.

I kinda like them being a little shorter. 20 minutes is cool this way. Especially because there's also the BR one.

Worth noting that the last few episodes from Team VJ seem to have been recorded back-to-back. A couple of hours of playing Deadly Premonition, combined with the dreary lumber mill level and the fact that Jeff seemed pretty tired to start with all add up to a short episode.

After this dungeon, during a clear day, go to the Milk Barn. Buy the map to Psychic hot spot A. Completing that sidequest will unlock and unlimited ammo smg and you can blow through the next few dungeons really fast and keep getting quickly back to the fun crazy plot of this game and hopefully have videos that last a good length.

clarification: As far as I see it, this is the ending of the Endurance Run session that included yesterdays video. Remember? They stopped without saving. I think they kept playing to the save point - thus the rather short segment for us, but 1:30 hour of exhausting day-ending boredom for them, it seems...yet, they still were funny.

Also worth noting that if Jeff really is jetting around on various event trips this week, they have to split the sessions into short episodes to make them last until he gets back. That is, unless they wanted to spend all of Monday playing Deadly Premonition, and who the hell would do that?

Actually some of the sidequests give unlimitted durability melee weapons. Vinny's gotta get himself one of those too.

Except that the infinite SMG is too weak to fight the wall-crawlers effectively, which is why I've been telling them to collect all the bones on the map.  Only seven and what you get is well worth it...but if you want to waste thirty minutes fighting one enemy, go ahead.

Yeah Jeff is out of town all week, so the episodes were recorded early. I take back what I said about BR's video being longer... they just spend 40+ minutes driving around and messing with the map. I love the complete frustration that can occasionally wash over me while watching an ER episode. I have to say that this happens a lot less with Vinny at the wheel though.

Even though it's pretty obvious they're not discussing their ERs with the other team, I think it would be beneficial for both teams to sit down and talk about a few things. Team VJ could tell BR that you can make the barrels explode by shooting them, and team BR could tell them that melee weapons take care of crates and boxes fast with little damage to the weapon, the auto lock automatically gives headshots whne they are bent over backward, and they could also tell them to HURRY THE HELL UP because they are days behind team BR.

@Vlaphor: As I recall(just did that part a few days ago myself), you get the shotgun before you fight wallcrawlers, even if you do no sidequesting. shotgun takes care of wallcrawlers with a minimum amount of effort. (I want to say maybe 6 shots, but it was a few days ago so I might be a bit off.) If you have the unlimited smg you'll allways have the spare shotgun ammo for wallcrawlers.
 
 I messed up the quest you're talking about, I entered the milkbarn after only collecting one bone and willie was there. I got a can of rootbeer for getting my bone back instead of the good reward :(

The shotgun works fine on the wall-crawlers. You can kill them in one minute pretty easily. Every other enemy gets hosed down by the infinite SMG.

i can ignore the boring shooting, the stupids enemies, the horrible level design and puzzles to concentrate on the crazy and unique things this game have to offer, but come on, whats all the buzz about this game?  
 
maybe when i finally convince myself to start playing this, i will understand...

@Liminality: No ways. Brad and Ryan seem like they're struggling to come up with anything to say at the moment, it's no longer funny. To be honest, the two most recent BR's I found to be boring, which is a first for me in ER history. 
 
The only disappointing part of the VJ run is the episode length. Though I'm guessing they''ve been short recently as Jeff was flying off somewhere this week so they had to squeeze all the ep's in before he left. Otherwise, VJ are doing a great job.
