Wohoo!

Really enjoying these. Bizarrely it seems Resi would've made a good intern run.

Yes!

I've been waiting for this all morning.

I'm a little surprised that it's ending. At this point I thought you guys might just try and play through the entire game.

RIP RE1

I enjoyed watching thi video with its narative.

Oh nooooooooo!!!

It's telling that I closed out of the new quick look to watch this instead.  Can't wait for you guys to hit the RE-make later on!

Oh man, you never even got to see the giant snake! The giant spiders! The giant rapist  plant! I'm still glad you're moving onto new games now, though, since if you were to try and complete this it would of most likely taken for-ever, and it was clear that your enjoyment was gradually decreasing. Goes without saying that your RE segment has also easily been the best one thus far. Looking forward to some Fear... and F.E.A.R.

I hope the original Alone in the Dark is in the mix.

I LOVE THIS SERIES

Before the jerkbutts show up and say this in an angrier way, you guys could use a shorter intro. Maybe just cut it to: 
Lemon: "Steve" 
Kessler: "Matt" 
Lemon: "Coward" 
Kessler: "Coward too" 
Both: "Let's fix that!" *both hold incredibly goofy 'let's go!' poses*

This series has been so much fun. I seriously want you two to do an Endurance Run of this game, or any of the Resident Evil games for that matter.

LET'S FINISH THIS!

Saved my ice-cream just for this!

Awww yeah. This is the best thing. 
It's so good because you make these for the whole week.

Good job guys, a very entertaining series.

Watching these RE episodes makes me realize how much RE1 lifted from the original Alone in the Dark game.

Skipped down to the end of the page past all the ''Official Giant Bomb'' to get to this.
 
Sad that you're ending this after 4 parts as I think it would make an excellent Intern Run. I understand that you want to continue the gauntlet though.

Just for the record .... you never take the ink ribbons !!!!!! Man Im glad you are over this 'cause unlike the rest I was angry at how poorly you played the game , I still dont know if you were being sarcastic or not  but dude improve your RE gameplay.

Should I used the shotgun Matt... 
Kind of glad you guys are moving on to better games, hope you continue this trend of playing a game a week on a end, because the quality will improve. 

Is Kessler always going to be driving or will there be a switch-up? I can only take so much of Steve awkwardly yelling advice at the screen while Kessler is getting killed in a game.

You should probably stop viewing other people play video games if you honestly get worked up over something like that. Relax and enjoy the fun instead.

As much as I love this series and Matt in particular, It's VERY difficult to watch someone play RE who has never played it before. So I'm kind of glad they are moving on to another game.

lets see how they fare at FEAR

I see what you did there!

Too bad they have to move on, I'd have just watched them play RE1 all the way through. This will let them get to some other games.

Hey, if you guys are listening, when you play Eternal Darkness, don't stop until you at least check the bathroom on the second floor of the mansion.

Matt don't blame being awful on the game please !!

oh yea btw i got that tyler the creator joke on the doom gig, stupid funny

Sweet, more spook looks.

Yeah, the game's manual revealed a secret weapon that you can find in there. It's really, really useful. Be sure to pick it up in the tub in that bathroom.

*rubs hands*

I switched off a proper Quick-Look to watch this. That says something, to me.

these are great.

This has been one of the best things on Giant Bomb in recent weeks, onward to FEAR.

Blowing the head off a zombie and saying "There we go". That was pretty badass of you, Matt.

For people who are experienced with RE1. Is it kind of game you can run through relatively quickly once you know your path? Seems like it could be.

You should've finished Resident Evil. Or at least played it until you learned how to play it. Stop getting into fights you can't win and learn how to run. Oh wells.

Also, am I the only person on the planet who knows how to use tank controls?

@Abyssfull: Cool, thanks. That's about what I was thinking. Never played the first one and never made it far into RE2. I'd be just as lost or worse than them my first time through I'm sure.

@Abyssfull: i hated those giant spiders. augh

A little bit sad we aren't getting an Interance Run of RE1, but also looking forward to a new game. Still doing great!

If this went any further, this would have a been an "Intern-ance Run".

Get it...?

Someone shoot me.

If they were locked in a room and forced to play the whole game in one sitting before leaving then it would be an 'Intern-ment Run'.

Well, they had to move on eventually. Even though I love endurance runs, sadly not possible with how much stuff they've used (well, it's possible, but they'd have to ramp up their playing skills pretty heavily)

I'm looking forward to more of these videos, though I don't think their ordering is correct. For example, I wouldn't put Amnesia at the very top, nor would I have Doom 3 so high.
