Well Guess What? !"#€%!#"!%"... All This Nagging... (ER Related)

No Caption Provided

Seriously people, please! The only thing endurance run freaks were nagging about before the announcement was that they wanted a new one. I sure wanted a new endurance run too, it's a fantastic idea but to be completely honest--I'm not watching it for the game but for Ryan and Patrick. I didn't watch the Persona 4 endurance run because I wanted to see the game. And I surely didn't watch the Deadly Premonition endurance run for that? I watched those two runs, and will watch this new one, because I want to see and hear Ryan and Patrick play that game. Giant Bomb is about character and when the guys are doing stuff they enjoy, then their character is shining. So why are you nagging about them having an endurance run now? Seriously! If you are doing it because of the game then I think that you're here for the wrong reason. It's just like criticising a quick look because they choose a bad game in some ways.Or am I the only one here who watch the endurance run to be entertained by Ryan and Patrick and not the game? It's almost like I want to change my name to Bruitcocoa, or Barl (in real life). Nothing stops Brono!

Give me one concrete reason why you dislike him? Other then him being the new guy

His laugh and how awesome he thinks "trolling" is?

Don't get me wrong, I don't have an issue with him, but I can see how some might find those two characteristics less than appealing, though one is certainly a more salient point of contention than the other.

They are not concrete. One could think that Jeffs is irritating, or Ryans. Patrick is a great foil for the other guys.

Not saying you have an issue with him, but some people on the site really seem to hate him for doing his job.

This ER has been great so far. The stupid stuff they do doesn't make me mad, it makes me laugh. That's why I'm coming to the ER in the first place.

This thread is still going? Wow.

I think you guys are overthinking this too much. I think that Chrono Trigger is, in my opinion, a bad fit for an ER. It's old, well known, it's kinda boring to watch and it doesn't give much material to work with, entertainment wise.


Yep.That's pretty much all there is to it. I wish the guys luck, but I'm done watching it. I hope the next ER has a better game pick.

I like Patrick just fine, but you're making me wonder if you're autistic. How is what he said not a concrete reason for disliking the guy? And

Yeah, they could.

So what? Just like how you think Patrick is a great foil for the others.

@GunslingerPanda: Than don't read it -.- And as I said, I never heard about LP before, so I didn't know what the fuck it is.

Then how are you qualified to say what is and isn't an LP? Please, stop raping me.

Seriously dude. PLEASE. PLEASE. bend over so I can show you rape. (rape threat! <3)

@AlexanderSheen:

I don't exactly understand your argument, but I'll post some more rules:

  • Be good at the game (felt the need to repeat that).
  • Make significant progress in each update.
  • Capture your material well.
  • Have something informative or interesting to say.
  • Demonstrate great knowledge of the game you're LPing.
  • Make sure that the game you're LPing would make for a good LP in the first place.

I should say that there really isn't any book of rules on LPing, but a lot of this can be inferred from good LPs or retsupurae videos. I should also say that not all of these are relevant to a discussion of the Endurance Run, but since you kinda asked, I think...


And to you VGK stop your damn trolling and go watch the other ER's cause these rules DON'T APPLY... get it now? This is called an endurance run.. people playing.. no.. ENDURING a game with various experience of it and trying to finish it or at least keep going until they can go no more. With the exception of Patrick but he finished it when he was fucking 11..I can't remember shit from games when I was 11, let alone the critical path on how to beat them in a timely fashion.

Threatening to rape me? Why, I might just have to cut your throat open and stick my dick in the hole.

Can this thread be shut down now? It's a piece of shit.

I'm loving it. Fuck the haters. I think it's almost as good as the P4 Endurance Run so far. The first five episodes of P4 are SLOOOOOOW, even if they're way shorter.

Hahahaha, you kids fighting.

I personally don't like it, because I find JRPGs to be incredibly boring. But hey, I just choose not to watch it. Still a wasted opportunity to make a series of videos on a more interesting game, but whatever.

Yeah, it's got steampunk robots shooting laser disco magic and weird pseudo-druidic Japanese anime proto-past with stuffed animals hiding doors to places where colossal snails are destroying the far-flung future leaving just a London street corner with a forgetful man standing guard over a lamppost. You know, normal, everyday shit.

I agree, if you dont like it, ignore it and stop bitching about getting something for free. For the paying subscribers though, I think they have a little more leverage on the situation.

@Akrid: You actually just made my point. It is okay to have an opinion, and even to express that opinion (As I did there) it's quite another to be a bitchy little whine ass. I was ragging on Kessler there yes, but I'm not going to go up in arms if they use him more, I actually liked the Fear Gauntlet and the Farmville stuff but hey, whatever.

I'VE BEEN CAUGHT RED HANDED OH MY YOU ARE AMAZING INTERNET MAN!

@Brunchies: No we do not. Just like season ticket holders do not have a say in what *sports team (A)* does we do not have any right at all to expect that our will be done.

Jeff has already said that if Ryan and Patrick didn't want to play Chrono Trigger, then there simply wouldn't be an ER happening right now or in the foreseeable future. So I guess you guys going on about these stupid, fake 'rules' would just prefer less daily content?

I usually don't venture on to the forums, but I am a huge fan of the site's video content and the Bombcasts, and actually first fell in love with GB when a friend recommended the first ER to me. Ryan and Patrick are both smart, funny guys, who are doubtlessly pretty good at video games. All that being said, I think that it is silly to ignore or gloss over the problems with this Endurance Run compared to those past. Fact is, more of us have played this game than P4 or certainly Deadly Premonition. We all know the order of operations to follow up until "The Fated Hour". These guys don't. This puts us as viewers in the uncomfortable place of having to watch our intrepid heroes make both unavoidable rookie mistakes, as well as a heaping spoonful of completely avoidable ones.

Bottom line: When Ryan and/or Patrick start reading the words on their TV screen, they will probably turn it around and give us a really good ER. And we should all keep watching it and rooting for them to right the ship, because if all this negativity keeps up, no one will want to do another ER, and who could blame them? Plus, it will be a fun narrative arc to see these two go from bumbling JRPG ingenues to seasoned pros in the end.

And I really hope they don't kill Magus.
