This Is the Run: Contra: Hard Corps - Part 22

The best of runs

The salt was strong with young Ryckert, but there was no stopping the more experienced Vincent Caravella from claiming the day! V for Victory, V for Vincent!

"Swoobies." - Dan Rykert, 2018

Hilarious ending. That final kick in the ribs. This was my favorite GB series for a while. I will miss it, but I am sure the next will be equally satisfying.

I can't wait to see what the back of the T-shirt for this season of "...the Run" looks like.

Congratulations this is definitely a tough one , but if we really want a run that never ends may I suggest beating King Yama in Spelunky co-op.

Dan's 'swoobies' moment around 40:00 makes me laugh every single time.

THIS IS THE RUN!

Dan in his American Flag outfit will always win

I'm so happy Vinny won after taking the A from Dan. Poetic.

@blitzrules240: swoobies may be the funniest thing I've seen on giantbomb. I laugh every time I think about it. I want a Swoobies t-shirt

I dont understand how they got that far without it being an absolute given that Vinny would get A over Dan. Stuff died so much quicker when Vinny had A.

"it's the bone dick."

Congratulations. This has been my favorite series on here since the Persona run.

I had a lot of fun watching this one live, despite having to do so on my iPad.

Came. Saw. Continued.

I really need a supercut of Dan watching Vinny playing.

I wonder if the pause from Dan at the end was him trying to take the extra life Vinny had just earned and come in at the end.

“Bone woo swoobies” happens at 40:30. I missed it the first time and it’s incredible.

Poops and swoops! Love this series.

I want a "Give Vinny the A' T Shirt

Yesssss and also I reaaaally want a supercut of every time they got to/saw something for the first time because it's a beautiful testament to the wonder and insanity of the enemy and encounter design in this amazing thing. It's invariably them laughing and shouting uncontrollably at the sheer audacious nonsense they're witnessing and it kills me every time.

Here's some good starters:

Encounter with the "weird ostrich-ball"!

Meeting the flower friend!

The professor's poorly-conceived final experiment!

AND THAT'S JUST LIKE 1/20TH OF ONE STAGE! What a game.

Yeah, so many great moments.

Contra: Hard Corps' Take on Mode 7

Welcome to the Virtual Zone

Ready: Sprint

Sneezing Dinosaur

<3 you guys.

Dan starting out in Heel Mode. Oh, boy.

Oh, man, and it ends in a Heel's Reward, too! Enjoy your sandwich, Vinny.

Swoobies.

Join for the Contra... stay for the humble pie.

Hmm... it is almost as if listening to others' suggestions might be more productive than immediately discarding them and, even worse, wagering against them.

Great job Vinny and Dan! I hope you share the details on the sandwich with us.

I wonder what kind of sandwich Dan is buying for Vinny.

@44:12 That needs to be framed.

Magical ending.

at last our pain is over. Well done!

Did not expect them to write Dan out of the series like that. =P Well done Dan and Vinny!

wait was this streamed? did I listen through this (while doing work stuff) and didn't even realize they did it?

Ah, the coveted Sandwich Ending! Well done!

'Not only do I need the A for this task any weapon can do, but I will forfeit the C to have it'

Game knows what he did.

THIS IS THE RUN! Congrats y'all that was such a great series!!

Honestly, this might be my favorite series. I love how Vinny and Dan play off each other the whole time!

@brianp: I think it's really easy to tunnel vision in a game like this.

Absolutely amazing, thanks for this amazing run, can't wait for the next one!

I think you should buy Contra Rebirth from the Wi Shopping Channel while you still can and play that eventually.

Thanks to everyone involved in this feature!

I need a super cut starting with Dan saying "I never get angry" in one of these episodes, immediately followed by every time he got super salty.

That was a Sonic 2 ass ending lol congrats guys! THE RUN!

This could not be more perfect

Vinny giving a thumbs-up next to an awkwardly empty space.

Yessss, same here!!

Thanks Vinny!
