Endurance Run

Endurance Run: Deadly Premonition: Part BR-04

Look, I can't have all of you hovering around while I perform my autopsy. It makes me nervous.

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?

Kinda disappointed that Brad's not dying enough.  Hopefully he runs out of first aid kits soon.  The unlimited ammo is partly to blame, though he's been doing a great job forgetting to reload.

I agree with Ryan: Francis Morgan is the killer and seeing as how the name of the game is Deadly Premonitions, I bet the game ends with Morgan killing the girl. 
 
This game is not even campy: it's just bad and having to watch it twice would be impossible if it weren't for the Bombsquad's commentary. I think Brad and Ryan's mistake is that they are actually trying to play this game while Jeff and Vinny aren't taking it seriously, which is the correct way to approach this digital atrocity of a game.

Friendly reminder, Brad: holding your breath (Left Trigger) makes it so the monsters can't see you and will stop coming after you while you're holding it (or if you manage to get out of their range), so use that if you're afraid of getting swarmed or want to put some extra distance between you and the monsters for sniping fun! 
 
Plus you can strafe in aiming mode by hitting the bumpers, which is sometimes useful!

The one annoying thing with the Endurance Run is something ive found annoying on GiantBomb for a very long time. Nobody has ANY SENSE OF DIRECTION in any game they play.

My thoughts exactly. But at the end, when he was running right into his second pile of enemies in a mere 5 minutes, and considering that the save room didn't lie too far back, I thought that he'd finally bite the dust again. Pulled through though. 
 
As for the Game: The story is growing on me - the autopsy was hilarious. The simple fact, that York is carrying more than one of this fingernails (if they are fingernails) around is just great. Plus it really kinda points to him as to being the killer... 
 
Well, now to watch the VJ one.

Well, the game is called Red Seeds Profile in Japan. I think it's pretty obvious that's what they are.

Funny that Ryan should say that there's not much side stuff. The game is actually set in a massive open world, and features over 50 side missions and all kinds of collectibles.

This reminded me of those parts of Condemned 2 where things would go freaky. That was by far a better game.

In Japan the game is called Red Seeds Profile. Those are definitely Red Seeds. 
 
The seeds come from the other cases that he's tracked. You can infer their locations based on the little figures on the map in the red room. He's followed the serial killings around the country based on the presumption that they are tied together. The game kind of assumes that you understand this, which is a bit of an oversight. They clarify this much later.
 
I also originally thought they were fingernails, especially since in the intro he talks about being scratched by crazy razor fingernail ladies.

Just like Silence of the Lambs and that Moth business. I so enjoy Agent York talking to Zach in front of other people, and yet no one bats an eye. In fact, the whole game is warming to me, especially the totally mad storyline. I have absolutely no idea why; probably these ER's. I really love York's "pointing at myself" animation.

Ok, point taken in that case. Also the whole "nightmare world" with the red vines makes more sense now...

I don't know if anyone has put forth theories on who Zach is, but I have my own, so I thought I'd run them by everyone.  Spoilered cause why not.

This is some Dexter Morgan type of investigator.  He is the perpetrator but also an inside man on the investigation.  At least... that is what I think.

please, correct me, if I am wrong, but to my knowledge a magnetic key card would not survive a MRI scanner (unless, of course, it wasn't used)?

I figured out who Zach was in the first set of quick looks. It also helps that my mind is focused on that whole concept after playing Remember11.
 
Also, the janitor in the bathroom needs to be listening to music and singing.

So listen: you guys missed a couple of "stabilizers" in that one "sleep-and-save" room area.
 
If you can go back, it might be worth it. Also, I think the ones that cover their face and stop your headshots will stop doing so if you turn off your flashlight-face. It also seemed like they took longer to find you when you had your flashlight-face off.
 
Other than that, BRO-FOUR (BR-04) was a resounding success! You overtook VJ by like... 2 sections!
 
VJ is going to have to be extra long to catch up. Drew, tell 'em.
