Brad shutting this shit down. Good work. That last run was nowhere near as good as their second run.

Also you guys are doing a real good job of making a mountain out of a molehill. Let it pass and stop stirring this.

After watching it, the moment wasn't as bad as I thought.

Also, Will's mess up at the end was freaking hilarious.

If they do this again they really should practise before so they have a chance of making it.

Doing the Latern Run while also playing through Trials at the moment was probably a bad idea wasn't it.

Am I the only one that thinks that Brad's sincere sounding "It wasn't my fucking fault, dicks," at 1:28:50 was a lot more unsettling than the other thing?

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will cause a flame war.

Also,

If you're going to lose respect for anyone, it should be Brad.

I've lost track of the amount of times he's broken down and acted like a child.

Deal w/it.

I, for one, LOVED the ending. They just excel at complete train-wreaks.

Hopefully no one got actually angry at each other.

People need to chill. He didn't mean it, and some of you guys are probably going to make it worse for him with all this talk (probably will look through some of the comments if he feels bad about it). He was frustrated and it slipped. It happens and if he offended anybody, the apology and edit should be enough to forgive him. If not, get over it for fuck sakes.

I think they had all the right ideas individually... Early on someone figured out to grab the worms and the shielded guys, but then they stopped doing it later on. Ryan realized half their problems are caused by them bunching in the front, so he stepped back, but then the other three guys still stumble over each other in the front.

Also, Will's the worst :p

Enjoyed the run, but right at the end it sure sounds like you guys didn't, so if this is the last video on it that's probably a good thing. As for Ryan's cussing, it seems to have offended Ryan himself more than anyone else. I'm fine with it getting expunged. After all, give the amount of fucking going on in the video (so to speak), it's hardly a slippery slope of censorship.

It was censored because Ryan is ashamed of it and wanted it censored, not some corporate mandate.

That was a lot of fun. But seriously, dick move on Brad's part at the end there. Best run or not, it still would've been nice to see the stats on the final run.

Brad's rage-quit into Trials and the subsequent rage-quitting of the other three is priceless.

Man, it was really nice to see Will cross over to the Giant Bomb crew again. I've missed the lantern run. Hope you guys do this (or something else like it) again.

I like how they added in the initial jolliness to the end of this video. Last nights final note was not a good one.

Okay I'm glad the way Ryan shrugged off his mistake in the video. His blog post now seems way overblown.

These are amazing, but like the Breaking Brads, if you happen to catch how long the video is, it really takes away a lot of the excitement because you know every attempt until near the very end is going to be futile. I have yet to avoid this mistake.

I can't tell if this was a Running of The Lanterns video or a Breaking Brad video. I was highly entertained despite the return of Will Smith. You should feel free to curse as much as you guys want when it comes to premium content.
