The Running Of The Lanterns: Finale...?

The 3 stooges-esque part was the best.

Edit: That or when Brad was left all alone in the the room talking to himself trying to justify his reasoning behind rage quitting before the score popped up.

I think the most disappointing part of all this is the reaction. Some of these comments are among the worst I've seen on Giant Bomb. At least Ryan understands it's not just a word.

Super fun to watch as the previous runs were, but I strangely found myself angry when Brad quit out before showing the score, and from how quick the other guys left the room I can only assume they were pissed too.

After all, give the amount of fucking going on in the video (so to speak), it's hardly a slippery slope of censorship.

Minus the so to speak part, this is the best sentence describing a Giantbomb video ever. This should be the video description.

Good lord, Brad is really selfish when it comes to the power ups. I'm dying laughing at it. Ryan's ship is about to fall apart and Brad's ship is fine, and yet he takes the power up right away.

"I don't think people are watching this to see us win, Brad."

Will Smith dropping knowledge, y'all.

This was hilarious. Another fine Giantbomb experience. Thanks guys haha =)

It wasn't even bad(the swearing bit) but damn, that ending was so awkward! Everyone was just so pissed off then Drew just comes in all quiet like someone speaking after the end of a big fight to say he's shutting the stream down,

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?

I agree completely. Just so unnerving and uncomfortably sounding to be honest. Don't really know why, but it freaks me out too, something about the way he sounds.

[...] let's face it, all the Giant Bomb guys are dicks in one way or another. And that's why we give them money.

Hahahahahaha.

Now that's some offensive shit for you right there :)

It did come off sounding quite petty of Brad. And he's totally wrong about that not being one of their best runs. It wasn't enough to get either achievement, but they made it pretty effing far with 3 lanterns.

This was awesome. You have to continue this! :)

Hoping for a Finale Part 2 in which the guys are forced to play for three or four hours straight with some sort of extreme penalty for failing to get the achievements. More pressure applied for a longer duration can only lead to good things.

Everything surrounding this video is insane. The clear answer to victory is they need to get a nice buzz going and they'll probably do a lot better!

I was suppose to work all day, then the lantern run happened.

Emails?!

Also Brad sometimes sounds hilariously like Hank Hill.

I'm surprised the hubub is about him saying that word out of context and immediately apologizing, when he very pointedly called SIRI a bitch and said fuck her unapologetically very much in context.

I don't care about either and I think they should not have even censored it, but they do live in California sooooo...

This was an amazing video, now they need to do 4 player Geometry Wars 2.

@Smokey_Earhole: yeah I thought the same thing about Brad's insults to the viewers in the Trials TNT to be equally disheartening.

I was more offended by Brad not showing the final results at the end. I was also more offended by the sniper elite v2 quick look.

OH MY GOD he totally does. I guess they're both polite southerners, and they somehow ended up with similar gasps of exasperation.

Triumph, loss, full grown men screaming at each other and letting loose their darkest emotions, this video has it all! I really hope that after all the dust settles, they would consider doing another one down the road.

Premium content: justified.

@FormulaDeuce: my thoughts exactly. this video was amazing and stuff like this is what I pay them money for. I like the guys that run this website more than what they cover.

That was the best Lantern run ever. Now don't do another one every again. It's been fun, but it seems like this has run it's course. Thanks you guys! It was hilarious.

It's not edited out for me !!! hurray I get to hear the barely audible use of the word

I'm not a Brad hater...I think his freak outs are very entertaining...but sometimes he can be a little bit of a baby...that's all...

Also...I missed Will Smith

@Xeirus said:

He apologized why are all of you still talking about this, grow up and move on, just like Ryan did...

Because people on the internet can never let go, Jack, never let go.

You are all a bunch of idiots.

The most hilarious part of watching this a second time was the very end Brad's demon voiced "How the hell -- How did I suddenly become the bad guy because I didn't wanna see the score? I don't understand. I was not my fault." to no one in particular.

Brad was extra excitable this run

@CaptainInvictus: no, people on the internet can never get a grip.

God, Brad can act like such a baby. :T

All said, good video guys. There were some truly tense gameplay moments and I was riveted.

so much salt in the room

Enjoyed the video, hated the Comment Section. Must be GiantBomb...or YouTube...but mostly GiantBomb.

Will dropping reference to Patrick forgetting the Lantern way-back-when followed by the icy replies from Patrick were rather amusing...and left me assuming Will slept with the doors locked and the lights on.

People arguing about this are what's wrong about the internet, on either side. Ban them all I say.

...and that was the end of giantbomb.

This was one of the most entertaining pieces of GiantBomb.

Also. Ryan already apologized.

RE: THE "DEBATE" as it were, you're splitting hairs on word usage and meaning and twisting it to your own views. .. Ryan already apologized.

@Trilogy: Exactly

Doesn't make it any better, but I feel like the "f" word that Ryan used is way more common over here in the UK, much like the "c" word. As I say, I'm not trying to defend it, and it's still a terrible thing to say in any situation, but yeah, I feel like I'm sort of sensitised to it. That's probably a bad thing.

Also, totally get the frustration at the end. Such a shame Brad rage-quitted and didn't let everyone see the score, and I totally agree with them storming out. Drew's delivery of the "Hey Brad... I'm gonna turn the stream off now" was gold.

And, well... is someone gonna figure out the score of their final run :/

Agreed. Lately Brad has been an asshole.

@ScreamingFist: Replace what Ryan said with the "n" word and re-read what you wrote. This isn't about how "harsh" it is as an expletive, it's that the word shouldn't be used as an expletive at all. It just shouldn't be used.

Sorry, Brad, but that was a dick move.
