The Running Of The Lanterns: Finale...?

Aw, I miss Ryan. :(

And Will.

And Patrick.

I'm bi, have gay/trans friends and they all don't care about the word in question. It's all about intent not purpose, just like knifes. People can kill with a butter knife and save lives with a kukri.

Context is everything. No word is inherently evil.

Silliness aside, this video was very entertaining, thanks Brad for the drama at the end it was pretty awe-ful!

LOL - Ryan, I'm gonna miss you so badly for a long time, but I'll always smile when I think about you!

Their last run is the greatest thing on the internet!

After hearing Demon voice E-mails, I'm not sure I can get used the the old fashioned type.

@Spudofdoom: no he's not. he's a wonderful and sassy man.

Wow, Brad is an asshole.

You guys need to use more lightning, that's an AOE lock-on laser.

This is one of the best videos ever made! I LOVE IT! There need to be another Lantern Run though. The final finale.

Will shoving the lanterns into the monster was hilarious. As was Brad's rage at the end, though I was kind of embarrassed for him because the others clearly weren't impressed with the ragequit (at least in the moment).

I've enjoyed the Lantern Runs, but this is a fitting end to the series - the three of them, legitimately angry, storming off the set, while Brad ragequits and plays Trials.

Purchased a subscription after hearing about this. Totally worth it. I think I might be a horrible person...

ROFL, the rage was hilarious.

Lighting seemed awesome, Patrick is great at carrying lanterns, Brad hogs upgrades, Will is calm and Ryan seems confused. This was a fun watch, just like last time.

Also, people need to stop caring about political correctness as much and learn to discern insults meant to be truly hurtful from banter.

It's like watching a Japanese me… I have the PC version, so I'm battling with Fraps and Dxtory to record a run without causing lag.

Rewatching this. Patrick not grabbing his lantern at the beginning and fucking up the round from the start was GOLDEN. Man, that entire first round is golden, especially Will just hindering everyone in one way or other - stealing the gun and dying, pushing stuff right into Brad, pulling that centipede for no damn reason just to ram it into Patrick... GREAT CONTENT.

@Pattyj321: 

Nice overreacting there, we're sure gonna miss that.

This could be helpful.

OMG the last 1:30 mins is solid gold.

Hey guys, I'm in this hole.

Giantbomb will end after a Lantern Run one day..

Lol the end was hilarious.

While everyone else is arguing with each other, I'm glad someone else realizes this. I was laughing the entire way through it all live. This is Giantbomb at it's Giantbomb'est; a complete cluster#&$@ of nonsense and craziness.

While it's probably a good idea to not revisit the Lantern Runs for a fourth time, I hope we can get Will and other special guests back for more events just like this.

"What's emaillll?" :)

So when does Ryan say "THE WORD"

Never would I ever want to play a coop game with Brad. I'd probably punch him in the face when he went into one of his hissy fits. It's just a game bro.

this is one of the best giantbomb videos ever

"Wow, this lightning bolt upgrade works really well... I'm gonna switch to the shield."

Oh, Giant Bomb, you so silly.

Can't really blame Will for that one, though. He was already in his groove as the shield digger. They figured roles out fine; Brad just screwed everyone over by insisting that there was no reason for anyone to have anything other than the shield, even though only Will ever cleared rocks and they found out in the first two runs that the shield did practically nothing against any monster. Thus, when Will dropped the infinitely superior lightning rod, no one wanted to pick it up.

Apparently nothing is better than anything.

"Wow, this lightning bolt upgrade works really well... I'm gonna switch to the shield."

Oh, Giant Bomb, you so silly.

The screaming! MY GOD THE SCREAMING!

Brad, gotta say that that was a great rage quit you threw at the end there, the lantern run just wouldn't have been the same without you. Great effort team!

E-MAILS

...and this is the day Giant Bomb imploded

@admanb: Thanks!!

oh man that was soo great!

Could somebody post a link to Ryan's blog? I can't find it.

@Pattyj321: Way to make a big statement duder. He made a fucking mistake and apologised.

It's crazy if they would of went low on some of the tunnels, they would of gotten out of so many of those sticky situations, on one of their early runs, they could of went low, and they woul dof been able to slip past the little snakes that drain the life, instead of getting all jumbled up (which seems to be a popular theme in their deaths) and gave Patrick a window to fly through.

Someone please pull out Will saying "Fuck my hole" and make it into a dubstep.

So glad to have Will in this video. If we could just get Will and/or Rorie on TNT once a month, that would be perfect.

great

Meh, the misogeny, homophobia, and ridiculing of the mentally disabled has always run deep in the gaming community and it doesn't surprise me here. I won't complain like I haven't enjoyed the bombcast deeply for the past few years. And I have paid them for that time via my membership. I just won't renew next time and make my statement there. As a member of the trans community I recognize when people make mistakes, but I think it's time I take a step back from the gaming community in general and learn to just let people transgress without feeding money into it.

Sorry, but I can't take this post seriously from a guy that posted

"Jesus H Christ, when was the ipad ever fucking "revolutionary"? It was a big ass shinier iphone that had barebones features to begin with. If anything, the specs on this model seem a hell of a lot more enticing then the previous two models released. Fucking scumbags."

Cheers!

Hold on, Ryan's not gay???

Dude, you just made me spit water all over my keyboard. Too funny...

I loved the ending. Brad is awesome. And even if Ryan already apologized, seriously, there was nothing worse than what they usually do. Props to him for owning up, though.

Good to hear Will with the guys again. Always a welcome guest in any GB-related video.

Regardless of Ryan making his gaffe, these videos always make me uncomfortable because of the potent undercurrent of frustration that runs through them. The guys just seem so angry at each other. Don't fight, boys! You're all beautiful!

The amount of cursing in this is epic... also good to hear from Will!

@tylerjacob: lol This!

people who get offended are pathetic
