The Running Of The Lanterns: Finale...?

Oh holy shit. This really blew up, huh? Let's all just calm down and video games, ok?

EDIT:

Pretty hilarious video guys! Glad Will made it back for another run.

I like that they finally found their groove too. Brad on Guns, Will on Shields, Patrick on Lantern, and Ryan bringing up the rear.

I'm crying because I'm laughing so hard.

Well, that was some legendary shit right there, in all senses of the word: Stuff that will go down in history, stuff that was hilarious, and stuff that you aren't even sure it was ever real in the first place.

Yep, I was very much entertained. I know they were acting all pissy at the end, but a lot of me thinks that was mostly feigned for the purposes of entertainment and was not any genuine, purposeful sort of awkward seething.

Also, yay for Will Smith. Dude was figuring shit out left, right and centre.

@gladspooky: This so many times. Really, people need to let it go.

"America land of freedom" WHAHAHAHA

Bunch of people bitching about words.

Ryan censored himself. And he apologized before anyone even had enough time to become upset, let alone pester him about it.

So glad I skipped to the end. It was a... valiant... effort.

Yay that they got Will back for this, this was really a tense episode for the crew. Now as for what's next hopefully part 2 of the Doom 2 run.

I can understand why people are curious that it was censored and apologized for. Honestly, if you can broadcast live TWO games of Cards Against Humanity, then you can pretty much say anything. Homophobia is worse than racism?

Hold on, Ryan's not gay???

Vinny is really good at editing. I'll leave it at that.

I truly hope this is not the end of the run. I will not be satisfied until blood is drawn! Though, I think we came damn close this time.

KING AMONG MEN!

I remember hearing Ryan say that very word at a motorist on one of Jeff's driving home streams. They didn't respond to him saying it that time, though, so it really wasn't a big deal. I myself am guilty of using that work in certain situations, but I'm trying to stop.

Ha ha, mistakes!

Didn't watch it live so I couldn't initially figure out why Ryan was so vehemently apologising for saying "mother fucker" or something. I'm guessing from the comments that he said the other f-word. That's a shame, but I think his apology was immediate and sincere, so I don't have a problem with it.

I love the feature itself. It's a shame Will doesn't work with them any more, so the original team getting the achievement seems less likely than before, when it was just next to impossible. Any features that have the editors challenging themselves in a game is entertaining; especially when there's some rage, a la Breaking Brad.

Despite their constant failure I appreciate the intermittent camaraderie and effort. Please keep doing these features, eventually, one day, there might be a success.

The way I see it, words are empty unless you add them emotion or meaning. It was more than clear that Ryan shout that word empty into the air. It had no meaning it wasn't meant to be hurtful for anyone, so everyone should stop pestering him about it. He is really sorry about it.

We need more!

Brilliant. Didn't realize how much I missed Will.

I'd watch this as long as you guys kept doing it. Just sayin

yea i was ready to watch all night. i did not expect it to end so suddenly

Quite honestly this was probably the best subscriber video I have watched.. and I think I watched them all..

"America land of freedom" WHAHAHAHA

Jeez Brad. Calm down.

Lost the bit of respect I had for Ryan after this. Still half entertaining though.

1:26:58

EVERYONE DROPS THEIR MICS!

1:19:01 "we should be buying apology letters before we even do these" Ryan Davis

Last 10 minutes: Yessssssss, let the hate flow through you.

I'd watch this as long as you guys kept doing it. Just sayin

WOW It's been 10 minutes and the amont of waning to kill each other is PALPABLE.

And I know that it's a 90 minute video, but with each try, I always have hope...

I also don't like that this is now just the "controversial lantern run." I envy people who come in later and dont know about it, so aren't curious the whole time what it is.

You know what? Brad's rage quit at the end is the worst part of the whole thing.

It's pretty simple guys: that word is not cool. It hurts alot of people. Be cool, don't use that word. And apologize when you've made a mistake. Choose to be a grownup. All pretty straight forward stuff.

and Drew thought N.Korea was tense....

I need to get a 360 so badly. There are some real gems on XBLA...

So...did anybody "tabulate" the score?

So many classic Will Smith quotes.

And of course, all the discussion is centered around an expletive that has already been bleeped out and apologized for. Can't we focus on other things, like how the Lantern Run seems an adequate way to crush men's souls?

I get what you're saying, but while Ryan's apology may be an adequate excuse for HIS behaviour, it doesn't excuse the bigotry and ignorance displayed by some of the GB community in this thread. These kind of issues need to be discussed when they're brought up, not hushed up because you find them uncomfortable.

For the people who think that using slurs that pejoratively reference sexual orientation is okay: please do take Jeff's advice and Fuck Off. There are enough shitty sites on the internet without you turning GB into a cesspool.

Wow. Lot of drama on this one.

Fun to watch video. Everything else seems like 'mountain out of molehill' material.

@CaptainInvictus: I don't understand what he means by this, "If you think that's what Giant Bomb 'stands for' then you have no idea who we are and what we represent."

Does he mean GB doesn't stand for... Actually, I can't seem to find an easy way to explain it though I think I can guess. Use of derogatory terms is frowned upon in GB but insulting others is not? I'm a little confused...

Can somebody better explain what Gerstmann meant?

Anyways, I enjoyed watching the entire video and probably wouldn't have cared if what was cut out was left in.

I'm not sure people are saying the same things enough in the comments.

So many classic Will Smith quotes.

Brad: "WHAT?! THERE ARE ROCKS HERE!" *does nothing to move the rocks*

I love this goddamn website.
