UGH, those crawl things take forever. Also, some times their arms bend back.

Shame they're not using the shotgun on the wall-crawlers.  It really is ideal if you don't miss, and they go down much faster.

I'll repeat this in the hopes that Jeff or Vinny see it:
 
Wallcrawlers go down in 2 hits from any melee weapon with a ''high'' attack rating....Of which you have at least 8 of at the moment. And if you ever run out: Drebi-...*cough* I mean Wesley sells Katana's for cheap.

Just a lay person's opinion, I don't own the game or anything. I would strongly suggest that you leave the pistol in your case. Do not throw it out like you did with the SMG, maybe it has sell back value. Then you can carry two melee weapons and two guns. I would suggest you take the shovel, but you might want to take something you have more of so that you get more use. Don't forget that you can carry two of each melee weapon so you can bust out another once the first one breaks. The melee stuff is a lot more damaging than the SMG so it'll help with enemies like the wall crawler. Also the Shotgun is a lot stronger than the SMG (High damage in comparison to Very Low) so it would help if you got used to the rate of fire so you can bust it out for tougher enemies as well.

Also, I know it's hard because you're playing in chunks everyday, but try to remember people that York says he should check out. For example, we never got to see the reaction for visiting Becky before things went bad, although she visited you in the Red Room. I feel like there might be some story hooks for people who check out leads before they are required by the game. I could be wrong, but I get that feeling. I would strongly suggest talking to Carol if you think that she's important, before you are forced to go through her zombie bar. Once again, I haven't played the game, but that's just my hunch.

I'm really enjoying the ER, keep up the good work!

The game doesn't allow you to, you have to have the pistol on you at all times.

The ceiling ladys are a total pain. This is the worst part of the game combat wise, with a submachine gun they take forever to kill, as you know. I got lucky and collected all the bones and gave them to the gravedigger and got the infinite flamethrower. It still takes a bit, but the flamethrower kills them much faster. Good luck gents, gird your loins. After the ladies here there are only four more in the entire game. :)

You get crazy birds attacking you and gigantic dogs. By gigantic, I mean like 25 feet tall with red eyes. It's bad news to stay out past 1am, I think.

Your commitment to tedium is incredible.  The shotgun takes wall crawlers out in 6-8 shots--strong melee weapons even less.  The SMG is the worst possible weapon to use against them.

Dammit, Caravella!  Use the shotgun while she's visible.  If you miss the first time then just run forward, turn around quickly, and shoot her.
 
But it's too late now.  I believe there are no more wall crawlers after this so they are good.

I think it's funny that Vinny and Jeff can nonchalantly chat about mundane things whilst fighting the wall hugger while Brad and Ryan have to struggle painstakingly onwards with undivided attention. Also, I laughed when Vinny's first instinct was to shoot the apples in the tree (a thought which took a few moments to dawn on our other duo of brave Endurance Runners); too bad they didn't get to see that horrible FBI crazy face, but at least they solved the puzzle on their first try. 
 
What if the next Endurance Run is an RPG Maker type game and they give a prize to the user who best reviews the final product; could this be Ryan's chance at making Lincoln Force?

Why a crazy nightmare world fellas?  Easy.  You see nothing is really happening in York's reality.  During crazy land portions, the rest of the world sees him just walking around looking for clues and profiling crime scenes.  However as you no doubt have noticed York is out of his damn mind, suffering from multiple personality disorder.  When Zach takes control of him during his investigation, he suffers from delusions where he is in a bad third-person shooting game, but York's acting normally without knowing it.  So there you have it.  He is acting normally to look for clues in the real world but in his mind Zach is guiding him through Ghostzombieville with crappy controls.  I think this game just makes everyone who sees it crazy.  Except for the one's who are already crazy, like every user on the site.  It's like the Ring of video games, hence the Japanese hair ghosts..

Yes you can, Vinny. If you did a 180 and went around the immediate left corner, there's a phone there. But I suppose at this point, it doesn't really matter. "
I don't think you know what a quick save is.

Oh Jeff, you hope that things make sense by the end? Some of the crazy you have yet to encounter won't even compare to the crazy you've seen thus far...!!  Some things will be resolved though. Also, Panda Bear is the gun shop owned by the black dude that isn't Dr. Usha; you guys met him at the town hall meeting.

It might have been mentioned but the weapon lock works when the wall ladies are visible. So a quick way to win using the shotgun is to run past them so they attack and miss, then flip around, lock and shoot. And I can't wait for you guys to get further, the last like 8 chapters are god damn bananas.
