Love the format. Glad to see some other non-player commentators joining the stream to help keep it spicy!

Dan being all salty about Alex not running outside the fence to revive him is so good. SO good. It tastes like the best salt. That school drop stomp was fucking great.

I sure do love Player Underground's Battleboys.

I really enjoy the Murder Island games that include more than just the 4 players. Having Vinny and Abby commentate on what is happening is really fun.

I like this feature (and I play a heck of a lot of PUBG) but I gotta be honest: I'm really tired of the screaming all over the place from Ben and the constant stream of dumb stuff out of Dan--and I normally like Dan but his schtick is really not fun to watch when he's throwing the team into disarray and getting them ripped up. It's super not fun watching a fun game go sideways because somebody did something dumb on purpose.

(Brad was on point though. I want to see Jeff/Vinny/Brad/Alex.)

BEN IS A SECRET GOD

That is, the secret ringer in this episode was Ben!!! He FEASTED on revenge in this stream (that was met with muted enthusiasm only because PUBG glitched out during the kills)

GO TEAM BEN!!!!! GO BATTLEBOYS!!!!!

This has been the best one of these ever! And I'm not just saying this because Dan isn't hosting and in fact aren't in most of these games... but uh... boy he will straight up leave the team for a crate, eh? Anyways! Ben improved a lot since the last time he played, dude is not afraid to experiment with how some of the guns work and to move up on some people; he is actually just spice. There's just more spice in general this time and except for the first game in the attic, we hardly got radio plays and saw a lot of the action. Thanks crew and looking forward to more like these!

it annoys the hell out of me that dan is the only decent player and everyone wants to tell Dan what to do but when you see any of these other guys mainly Alex and brad they can't hit a still target 2 feet in front of them.

Good video guys, though I think this might be where I stop watching any pubg. Nothing at all wrong with the content, I've just reached a saturation point I think. I found myself skipping ahead until I saw damaged health bars.

Keep it up for those who are still watching though, it's the best out there.

Only a handful of minutes in and already love the vinny and abby color commentary!

Lookin at all these pro brad comments... ya'll fair weather brad fans.

Brad dont need your love. He was killer hot episodes ago and ya'll didn't believe. Now brad sneezes and mother fuckers die of bird flu! Brad looks at sections on the map and it turns red and mother fuckers die. Brad turns water into wine and these mother fuckers still surprised. Brad rises from from the dead to kill mother fuckers and they wonder how and why? Brad shaved his beard to blend in with mortal realm. The coming of Murder Christ is here!

My pro tips to achieve a michelin star chicken dinner:

- Loot by dragging stuff in and out of your inventory, that way you don't have to watch the grabby loot animation and it's way faster to take inventory of the room with the menu than by looking at every item.

- Whatever you're doing always keep a check on your surroundings, bandaging is not an excuse to stop looking. Also running is not an excuse to not check your sides.

- Always keep moving back and forth, especially while looting a corpse. The exception is when youre prone since that's for blending in. Stationary crouching on a corpse is just a headshot waiting to happen.

- When youre holed up in a house or something, don't all stack up in the same spot. Theres four of you, use all that extra eye sight to cover every direction you can. Trust your teammates to spot enemies.

- Always favor cars over bikes, cover is king

This was a fantastic stream and one of the best for a while. I have to say, I'm starting to suspect that Vinny might be secretly the best player in the crew now. He has clearly been doing some research and thinking through some of the best loadouts for close, medium and long range combat. Gotta say, I shared his pain when Brad dropped the Kar98K for a shotty. Love Abby's blood lust, but it needs a little tempering. Only engage enemies with fists, melee weapons or a pistol within a few seconds of landing or chances are you will get smoked. It was a great 2 mins of screen time though. It was like watching a combination of Harley Quinn and Frank Drebin.

I totally understand why Alex was confused in the end of that first run, every body was yelling on top of each other, i couldn't concentrate if i had 4 people yelling at me either.

Having extra people around to help commentate was a good move. Previously, the conversation could stagnate because everyone's concentrating on spicy murder.

I also think the revolving streaming player chair was also a refreshing move.
