Endurance Run

Endurance Run: Chrono Trigger - Part 19

I'm pretty sure I saw this scene on the cover of Heavy Metal in the early 80's.

Vinny and Jeff sit down and take a crack at the latest game in the Shin Megami Tensei series. Will they make it through the entire game?

Damn it, Patrick. Don't tell Ryan to go left. There was an egg he missed in Kino's cell and he might have gotten it this time.

And these aren't random encounters. They are scripted encounters with hidden enemies. Would you like to have had 50 more fights trying to get through that door because they were random?

I don't like it when the game forces party members on you. I get why story wise, it just seems lame if you really liked rolling with a specific group.

Guh... Patrick, you're encouraging people's dislike toward you! When Ryan says asks if you should keep going, the answer is never "nah, we've been playing for half an hour". Come on!
 
This stuff is way too much fun to just waste half an hour a day on...

well, they are both guilty of forgetting to use lightning every fight to make the dinosaurs easier to kill, which would reduce like all the battle by like half

Good eppy. Something to look forward to on Friday. BOSS fight. They are getting better at the game. A little annoying that they haven't become more economical about healing outside of combat and that they don't know how to read the screen when it tells them status effects. They are getting there tho. Past two eps way more consistent. In fact yesterday's ep is REwatchable, but I think that a blasphemous towards the concept.

And a recovery. From best episode to date, to 7 minutes of hair pulling, and back into the swing of things in just 3 episodes. Kudos.

Now that I think about it, since he didn't speak like that as Glenn, maybe Brog speaks with all of those eths and thys because of his huge frog tongue.  I like the idea that it's a speech impediment.

I don't like that RPGs give you more characters than you can have in a party period.

You've got seven members to join your party? Balance the fights for seven members and have less battles to even it out. I wish a game would do this, just once.

This is true. Patrick needs to stop being a little tranny bitch and start encouraging Ryan to play longer sessions.

In the end they're still playing the same amount they would have if they continued. This way there are more, shorter episodes; the other way there are less, longer episodes. The shorter episodes also make it easier for people to watch, as it is easier to take half an hour out of you day instead of an hour.

Tyrano Lair is one of my favorite tracks in the game. The intro to that song is awesome.

How do they not notice that it says " Def pwr decreases when shocked" ? That's why the cat attack and other attacks do so much damage after Brono does his lightning 2.

I can't wait until they get that item that reduces mp cost. Then Brono's lightning 2 won't cost so much.

Those double techs only seemed the same as single techs or weaker because you didn't lower their defense with lightning that time.

They missed the first one of those the Silver Stud (-50% MP cost) in the Denadoro Mts in 600 AD when they fell down the wrong part of the waterfall. If they would have walked about 5 steps to the left, then fell they would have landed on a second ledge and gotten the Silver Stud and the Silver Erng instead of just the Erng.

They can always go back, but I SERIOUSLY doubt that will ever happen. They don't get the Gold Stud until they power up the amulet and go open all those sealed doors in 2300 AD.

I don't think Ryan and Patrick should have used so many Dual Strikes. They burn MP really quickly and use two characters' turns at once. Attacking normally and occasionally using a single character's Technique seems to be the way to go.
