Their endurance is properly tested with this game - more than they ever wanted? I still admire them taking it with humor - lots of humor :)

Don't worry Vinny, you're not an investigation failure. You only failed because you hid behind the bad frame rate!

WHOA WHOA WHOA THERE!! So you both decided to melee the enemies for huge damage to the weapons but you went back to the pistol for boxes and fences which does tiny damage?! Am I just an idiot and missing something here or am I paying more attention than the two of you put together?? Apologies in advance if it is the former...

Pistol = infinite ammo, Melee weapons = eventually run out, which is why they are constantly picking them up

I agree that VJ needs to stop being conservative about their ammo and stockpiles. Eventually they'll have to make use of it.

I hate inconsistencies in games. If you have infinite pistol ammo then why do you have to worry about getting hungry, sleep, and taking showers? Fuck. I know that comparison has little relation to each other, but I hope you understand what I mean.

I can't wait for them to get to the part where you have to go through a gauntlet of the longest most boring fights in gaming history. That's the point where I almost gave up on the game.

Come on guys, if you don't like it then quit playing! There are those of us out there who enjoyed this game you know! We were simply able to look past the flaws and have some fun, rather than complain about something every few minutes! Look, I know the game is far from perfect but it's not like anybody strapped you to a chair and is forcing you to do these! If your gonna keep going then please, lighten up on the negativity a little! It gets better.

I wish all of VJ's videos would be 45 minutes minimum; it's hard to get into this when the vids are only 20 minutes long.

They are short because Jeff is out of the office and they had to record them in quick succession.

guys, the melee weapons hardly take damage when used on fences and crates. Always use a melee weapon on those instead of shooting them.

Dude... they've gotta commentate on something to keep us all entertained. And during the zombie parts... what else can they comment on? You can't defend these sections of the game. They are terrible.

This is how game designers think!

@GaZZuM:
That may be so, but Brad and Ryan have a tendency to survive for longer, if not competently so. I personally just chalk it up to the fact that Vinny and Jeff behave like this is old hat for them, which it is, whereas Brad and Ryan have probably lost a bet at some point and therefore are trying to finish this as fast as possible as to reclaim their free office hours for things they enjoy slightly more.
