At the very begining of the game in the red room, there was a map of the Untited States with little Kaysen dolls on it that matched up with some of the locations in the stories York would tell during the game. Swery foreshadowed the hell outta that shit. VJ-01 about 9 minutes in you can see it.

I've seen this ending several times and it has the same effect on me every time I see it. That's some beautiful storytelling right there.

oh man i still find it crazy that they pulled the Kaysen was and George was the raincoat killer. Because it just doesn't add up that George would be able to move around in crazy town meanwhile he and Emily hung around outside. Kinda funny thinking back that he first went on to kill the girls in such weird ways then come around again and ACCIDENTLY KILLING THEM. Oh god DP is the best fucked up game ever. 
 
Also emily dying without telling York/Zach that she also saw the zombies... gosh, they need to explain that or i'll cry

So he falls into the basement of the theater, then walks DOWN a thousand steps in an underground citadel and ends up on top of a clock tower.

Also, this ending still made more sense then Heavy Rain.
 
EDIT: the reactions and jokes from team VJ were really fucking lame this episode. *sigh* this ER blowed.Not the fault of the game, though.

I really, really loved the stunned, awkward silence that went on throughout the cutscenes in this video after reaching the community center. 
 
A little disappointing that they didn't continue on to finish the game, as that gives them some time to let it all sink in. I was really looking forward to Jeff and Vinny's commentary while watching the credits roll after a long, long barrage of complete and utter insanity.
 
Also, fuck that running sequence. I beat this game weeks ago and my finger is still tired.

DP had a pretty steady curve of weirdness up until the late game where it seems like the developers just went; "fuck it lets go CRAZY!"
 
Cant wait for the conclusion, this ER has been awesome.

Really, you thought that the scene with Thomas was better than the Zach explanation? Was it because there was no hooks to the face?

I'm still with Jeff in that they should explain the zombies or it will be really frustrating. HAVE we been shooting civilians all this time, or what? Will they tell us or not?

@IronRinn:  no, i just thought that they spent more time on it. It was well composed and well lit, and thomas was acting like a pyscho when the whole game he had been so passive and weak, so i felt it packed way more punch.
 
The explanation itself was quite cool, but accompanied with ridicoulous boss fights and some silly dialogue it seemed lazy, silly chase scene and some key stuff left unexplained too. (but of course, they've still got time to explain next episode)

Ok, I see what you're saying. The boss fights in the game are probably the weakest parts, definitely. I think that, for me at least. the whole Zach reveal/fate of Emily kind of outshines everything ridiculous about the boss fight. I almost went through it in a state of shock. Thomas's final scene probably benefits from the lack of otherworldly craziness, but Zach/Emily is what really stuck with me after the game.
 
Edit: Also, while I realize that they have already finished the run well in advance of me posting this, I really hope they took a little time to talk to some people in Greenvale before ending the game as some of those conversations fill in a few blanks.

York's Kaysen revelation was kind of odd. Didn't he already figure that out at the hospital?

What kind of Raincoat Killer walks around town not killing anyone? Harry must have remembered wrong.

"Try not to hurt..." INVESTIGATION FAILURE
You guys are awsome. :D

And... did you somehow manage to change the past by defeating Kaysen? Huh?

Shame about the lack of giant dogs.  That was the first place that I saw them, and I just assumed it would be the same for VJ.  Once they finish the game, they should check out that episode of the BR run.  Good work on the boss fight, though!  It's not particularly hard, but that last form can take forever.  The worst thing is if you get on his shoulder for that last shot but you don't get it in time, he regenerates ALL his health!  Totally sucked when it happened to me.

@IronRinn:  I definitely liked parts, but overall as an ending i thought the pace suffered a bit when they stuck in bad game bits, (kind of the tale of the whole game though haha) which could have been replaced with a quick cutscene. 
 
I did really like how Zach's character totally changed after they swapped over, into a more sensitive, less cool guy. And Emily's sacrifice was great too. They could have had them right next to each other, followed by whatever happens next, and it would have been way more effective! They could have cut out 2/3 of the boss fight i think, and just have the kaysen doll stage. 
 
But whatever, i will leave my judgement for the final episode!

They're already finished.
 
I can't wait for them both to finish so they can compare their playthroughs and see how much the other missed.

You know what's fun? Doing that long quick time sequence on the stairwell while Zack is crippled and has to move slower than a tortoise stuck in molasses. It happened to me the first time I fought Kaysen and lemme tell ya, I had the time of my life trying to beat that sequence with Zack in that state.
