I really liked this, I would be down for a weekly co-op thing run by Brad where he gets people to attempt hard achievements/trophies. "Hard Times with Brad Shoemaker" haha

Seconded! I would upgrade to an annual subscription for Hard Times with Brad Shoemaker.

I saw that post last night, and after sleeping on it I've decided to throw my full support behind it.

love it.

PLEASE @BRAD MAKE THIS HAPPEN!

53:20, Patrick screaming, I was crying

Goddamn, this mode seems impossible. Made for great watching though.

This should become a segment called "Would you like to play a game?" where Ryan does an intro for the game in a Jigsaw voice, then we see them like this in a dark room before they play.

@Seraphim84: Hm. I'll vote for Home of the WOPR, and "Shall we play a game?" Because as we can see, the only way to win is not to play. :p

Also, "Pulling an S-Rank". Might as well stick with what makes Brad so brad. ;)

Gonna go ahead and throw my hat in on this.

55:50 was incredible.
 
Actually, 58:10 was better.

Awesome video, looking forward for the next one.

How did no one make a Will Smith joke when he mentioned Independence Day?

Lantern runs and other XBLA 4 player shenanigans are fantastic video fodder. I for one welcome these offerings for my subscription fee. I would love to see some other games if the gang is up to it! Monday Night Combat survival mode. Splosion Man/Ms Splosion Man co op modes. Heck when Dungeon Defenders releases that would be fantastic.

I like the idea of trying to get incredibly hard achievements as a group on video as a feature. Should become a recurring thingy.

Too bad this ended in failure. Although that just means hopefully we get more Lantern Run.

I made this gif of Klepek's return from the dead. http://i.minus.com/iK5jBfOcQlHOs.gif

@Manhattan_Project: Wait, what? If we smash snakes into lanterns, the snakes die?

Yeah, there was one time that one of you guys insta killed a snake with a lantern but no one playing seemed to notice. The chat was flipping about it during the live show.

It really is win win, as Brad could get achievements and we get more nonsense.

Not the first time we've watched one of them fail over and over again, and hopefully not the last. With the bonus.

YES

Background music recommendation for video:

I am so happy you guys are doing so much more members content. It is really starting to feel like I have a subscription here not just because I love the personalities on this site, but also because there is actual content that I want to watch.

Premium, baby.

23:44 Will sabotage

This reminds me of Ryan's Inferno from a while back:

Actually I went back and looked at it and I think it might have died because it hit the health bubble.

Its at 45:25 if you wanna take a look.

New Super Mario Bros Wii and now this have convinced me that four player co-op just works as video content.

Also: "Everything after Pinkerton was irrelevant" made me fall a little in love with Patrick.

I see what you did there Will...

This is more entertaining than 90% of the happy hours. I'm really happy they are switching it up.

This is pretty cool. I'm still for content parity for all members.

55:55 is great, like the ending of an sci fi epic.

Yay for awesome subscriber content! Can't wait for the next one.

I would definitely watch Brad and friends trying to beat hard achievements each week.

I am eagerly awaiting the resolution of this.

this was fucking awesome.

I can only echo what everyone else is saying; awesome video, guys!

I must say... fantastic. I was feeling the tension.

Damn, as everyone already said. That Was intense ! Great job guys, hope you try this again someday.

Awesome job guys.

You guys continue to justify my money. Keep up the good work.

at 55:00 that escape was epic :D

I loved this, keep up the good work!

This is so fucking funny i love this.

wow.. really fun to watch. Thnx dudes for making this.

Yeah, it's fun stuff. I just hope they do something like this every Friday.

This was surprisingly fun to watch! :D

These cooperative videos are the best, hope they keep doing stuff like this. The coop Borderlands play-through was one of the best.

Wait, where's this Borderlands video? I wanna see it!

This video was a blast! I am enjoying this new "Giant Bomb Co-op" era we're in, and hope that they continue putting out more videos like this!

Awesome.

@DeF: Borderlands co op video is just the borderlands quick look, which personally I thought was boring to the extent that I fell asleep while watching it. You be the judge:

In terms of co op action there has yet to be a video that can match the chaos of New Super mario bros quick look:

Loved this video guys, thanks for doing it!

In the beginning of this video, Brad is the Illusive Man.

I'd buy tickets to watch you guys perform as a band called "Lantern Run" covering Weezer's Hash Pipe.
