So Vinny and Jeff don't make the same mistake:
 
Remember that there were people at the town hall meeting who you promised to talk to today.

My guess is that it was about seeing the lightning, which finally made sense when standing outside.

There's stuff like unbreakable melee weapons, infinite ammo guns, and fast travel
 
But now they think it's all cards and they're going to have a much harder time struggling and wasting time. :(

You know, it took Brad and Ryan way less time to figure out this puzzle.
 
But then they also got stuck running around when the Pot Lady was right in front of them like five times.
 
I submit that the Giant Bomb crew are not actually good at video games!

FAST TRAVEL? Holy shit.
 
I get the feeling they will never ever find that, and will be far worse off for it.

They might find it by accident. You have to go to someone' s house at night and they'll ask you for that flower that Vinny and Jeff already picked up.

Back where those two cars are (that you can drive), you guys missed Agent Honour at the bushes if you continue past the door about 10 paces. Twice. :( (Once during the cutscene and once on the way back to Polly.

From watching this Endurance Run (I haven't missed an episode) the best part of this game is the Beard Engine.

If they go to George's house at night (I think around 20:00 or 21:00) they can start a side quest with him and give him the flower. They will receive a radio that will let them travel anywhere in the town they visited instantly. 
 If they go to the milk barn, they can talk to Kieth and buy a map that will start a quest to get the smg with unlimited ammo.

SWERY 65 already confirmed in an interview that Deadly Premonition 2 (Seeds Profile 2 in Japan) will have a totally revamped Beard-Tech-Engine (BTE, for short). I can not wait!

The moment where J&V got stuck reminded me of a certain Uncharted 2 MP Quick Look:
 Ryan: "Kill me! Put me out of my misery! I can't .... no! Please, please, please, oh ... oh God" <gets shot immediately after freeing self, tumbles down stairs>
Vinny: <after laughing hysterically> "The teleporter didn't work!"

the more I watch the more I realize that im much better at games than the GB guys. Example, vinny is stuck in the bathroom and not once looks down at the floor. They go to places and get out of the car even when there were multiple signs that said closed. They get disoriented easily and when looking at the map aren't able to deduce that the area that looks different is probably the one were polly stays.
 
Many more examples in both ERs. Its mostly that it seems like they have very poor deductive skills in terms of actual gameplay

Vinny: "Man, now our relationship has gone down with Emily. Now she's never going to come over for Christmas."
Jeff: "Reverse S-link."
Vinny: "Now George is going to have to come over for Christmas."
Jeff: "It's going to be the worst."

@Citizengamer: Hell naw! Too much to keep track of. Like when I thought it would be a good idea to keep track of every time VJ decided to label someone as the killer in Persona 4. It happened too much for me to bother.

Those doors open out both ways. That little oddity makes me wonder if the designers of this game were really paying attention to the details.
 
Also, shaving is for the devil. The HANDSOME devil.

Or it's probably because they're on camera and dual-playing with somebody else riding shotgun.I for one know that I'd probably be concentrating on making the vids entertaining than pristine gameplay.
 
Basically, the environment that they play in is very different to the one we do.

@ChickenPants:
I agree with you completely. I was excited to see a 50-minute ER until I found out the first 15 minutes are of Vinny running around the same corridor of the hotel over and over again when you can clearly tell the big room in the corner with the trading card was Polly's. Them trying to figure out the number code was also very frustrating to watch.

Diane got out of Kaysen's pick-up the first time we saw it.
Then together in the window. 
Jacques Renault was a big dude in the scene in TP involved with Laura, though he didn't actually kill Laura, he was in with all the wrong people. And he was a letter J. 
I wonder if there is going to be a seedy;) connection with Diane? (sorry for the pun)
Love Twin Peaks(season 1 only), I am sticking with this because of the references, but not so sure I like this game much anymore.
I am curious about Mr Stewart. Ben Horne was the bigwig in TP, so I wonder where the hell they got Mr. Stewart from.

I like how the four fans of this game keep criticizing the crew for not playing this steaming pile of shit properly.
 
"They should go the room with tarot card, that's obviously what they need for the quest. God, they suck at this game!" Nope, that's just another stupid tarot card, dipshit. 
 
"You guys should do the tedious side quest, there's cool rewards!" Yeah, more fucking tarot cards.
