    In the past couple of months my favourite piece of Giant Bomb content wasn't even Giant Bomb content. I'm talking about The Fear Gauntlet. I've always had an interest in horror games, so I knew it would be great when I first heard the announcement. Now, after 25 episodes and with the completion of Condemned behind us, I felt the greatest moments had to be collected. So here it is: The Best of the Fear Gauntlet.

    I don't usually do a lot of video editing, so constructive criticism is very welcome.

    Great video! These always seem like they would take a long time to put together.

    Fear Gauntlet really is one my favorite things to ever come out of Giant Bomb. I'm so glad Matt & Steve got the chance to do this.

    You forgot about "I've been working on a railroad, all the live long DIE!", but otherwise it was great.

    This has made me decide to actually watch Fear Gauntlet again, because I fell off after they finished doing Resident Evil.

    Although I think my favorite "joke" of the Fear Gauntlet were those library references.

    It's hard to decide what should be included in a compilation like this. Not every clip is equally funny or interesting, and I left out some of the clips that I was too unsure about. The "mind entering scene" was one of those, as well as "the sliding body" and countless clips from Resident Evil.

    Perhaps some of them will find their spot somewhere in part 2.

    @TMThomsen: Good job! I'm glad that someone else did this, because I've been getting a few requests to do it myself and I was way behind on Fear Gauntlets!

    All of the condemned stuff looks fun, I'm curious to see how long the fear gauntlet goes on.

    Perhaps for part 2 you could mine all those time Matt tried to style and failed terribly.

    That was great. I haven't seen more than the first-ish episodes of the Condemned Fear Gauntlet but I am totally gonna check them out now. Also, I love the mix of scares with comedy because I never knew which was going to happen. The part where the corpse was being pulled along the ceiling scared the shit out of me! I yelled as loud as Matt and Steve!

    Just now saw this, and it's amazing. Fear Gauntlet has been fantastic so far... although I think you missed an opportunity to throw in a last second scare at the end of the soda montage. I was anticipating it the whole time for no payoff!

    You made me remember that spaz out in Castlevainia 64. That was great.

    As far as editing goes: I personally would have done more jump cuts than fade outs, but I loved the comp overall.

    The "2, 3 days old" montage was great.

    The parts where you put in the extra stuff, like the Bee Gees part and the flashback, were the best.

    Awesome. While I've enjoyed the Fear Gauntlet, it's just too long for me to watch more than a few minutes here and there, so I really appreciate your effort in doing this. I'm totally watching this tonight after work. Speaking of that, gotta go!

    The Bee Gees moment was probably the most hilarious in Fear Gauntlet. This video series is awesome!
