Indeed. Saw it a little late, though.

The video stopped working for me around 1:41:00 in HTML. I switched over to progressive and it started working again if you guys who are having trouble want to try that.

some people mentioned an issue with chrome and or ad blocker for the videos...

I use firefox and never have issues because firefox never has problems with anything ever since I started using in 2004 (also way better extension support)

also the video works fine for me on my tablet on chrome WITHOUT ad blocker just in case that is the reason why people aren't able to watch it...hope this helps someone since this is agreat video!

The moment in question starts around 1 hour 12 minutes into the video if people wanna see Vinny's bloodlust in action. I think he got hit by one of those darts in syndicate that makes you attack your team, that has to be the answer. He put about 4 shotgun shells into alex point blank and alex asked "did you get them?" right after which was the best part of the entire stream.

If you guys actually plan on imposing some rules on yourselves for later episodes, might I suggest an Only Melee Weapons run?

Oh man. This is... brutal.

I'd suggest sticking together a little more. Too much confusion when you start getting shot at.

This. I play squads quite a bit and while I realise you guys play more for fun and entertainment than seriously going for that chicken dinner you could really give it a shot with some more organisation. Know where each player is at all times; if you spot an enemy give their number coords to your position and their nearest landmark, i.e. "dude north 15 near the low wall" or "dudes behind the trees south 190".

Stay close enough that if someone gets dropped you can be there to back them up and make the guy think twice about finishing them off.

If you guys tighten up just a little bit more you can be just as goofy and entertaining AND have some genuine murderin' skills.

If Alex was any tighter to the others he'd be in their pocket, I always get twitchy watching him fill the doorway right behind the other one going in. Also watching them run right next to each other out in the open, seems too close to me and they should spread out a bit.

I guess it is more entertaining but using cars all the time to get around isn't helping them get that chicken dinner any time soon.

At one point they got killed by a streamer I recognized. In case you want to see the Murder Squad get murdered from another perspective. It's pretty funny.

As I said when I came into the chat during the stream, me and my squad were the ones that fought the guys at the beginning of that game at around 45 minutes, I was the one who machete'd Jeff and then ran up on Vinny and shot him with the pistol. We weren't stream sniping or anything, we just kinda happened to run into them while playing on our own, I just noticed that it was MonsterDunk that I killed and then we figured out that the squad was these guys, that was pretty fun. I'll post my view of that part later on if anyone cares. I think the guy who got killed by Vinny while trying to punch him also recorded that part so I might have a nice multi-POV video of that encounter.

This is just the right amount of dumb for me. Nothing is forced, the mayhem just happens of it's own accord.

Vinny killing 50% of his own squad also helps.

You know, that would have been a really sick triple kill for Vinny... if two of them weren't his own teammates. How do you even do that? I've seen less successful DELIBERATE team killing than that in this game. I'm not even mad. I'm impressed.

Seeing that guy just wait behind Dan for ages before punching him. Gold.

I love that this is just unbridled bedlam. If they played like super cereal Twitch streamers it just wouldn't be any fun.
