The fundamental problem is that Ryan and Patrick simply don't have entertaining personalities by themselves, they need Jeff or Vinny to play jokes off. As it is they're just as uninteresting as all of those dozens of Lets Plays by random youtubbers. You can also tell that they're basically forcing themselves to spam out pointless unfunny comments in order to fill the dead-air due to the lack of voice-acting in the game.

Speaking of weird pronunciations, Patrick says "Attribute" weird.

P4 ER didn't really get going until Ep 3, so he's technically right. He could just be referring to the first 2 eps after all. ;P
WRONG! Ryan is great in this and so is Patrick. At first I thought this would be boring, no Jeff or Vinny, but no. Ryan and Patrick go together like banana and chocolate or Jeff and Vinny.
I'm not finding it totally uninteresting, but I mostly agree.
Which isn't shocking to me. Vinny + Jeff is an unbeatable combo.

Watching the new episode now. Let's see if it's better than the second episode. For all those saying the episodes are lacklustre, CT's first bit is a little slow. It picks up dramatically soon, don't worry.
Haha, maybe they should play Chrono Cross after this. Admire the wonderful soundscape and the gorgeous Honne backgrounds. :3
Oh, wow that looks bad. I wonder why they went with it. The menus aren't that hot either.

The sprites look good but the UI is truly hideous.
I'm looking forward to their

Wait, I thought Endurance Runs had a 1 save rule? It kind of bugs me that they aren't organizing their items to find them easier too, but this is a nitpick and it doesn't matter.
After the way their boss battle went, they should consider setting the ATB to Wait rather than Active. Ryan takes a bit to pick select commands and items.
*head in hands* at them going through the dialogue really fast and missing where they were supposed to go. But at least they got some Tech Points and EXP. I was hoping that this episode would be dedicated to
, but oh well. I'm a little disappointed with this episode after how well the second ep went. :/
At least they figured everything out! This calls for a drink.

This was bugging me on a Bombcast a few weeks ago. He puts the emphasis on the 'trib', not the 'att'. Ordinarily I wouldn't mind but he said it like five times in one sentence

'atTRIBute' is the verb but 'ATTribute' is the noun, Patrick seems to use 'atTRIBute' for both.
I'm really enjoying the new ER, though the lack of Vinny is always apparent. I had to go back through some of the early VJ Deadly Premonition run to hear his dulcet tones once more. Me, over here, this guy, right here, York, that's me.

Oof. They should take Will up on his offer.
And Ryan refused to save after using the Shelter yesterday too. :lol

THEY WENT INTO THE FUCKING FOREST AGAIN!?!?!??
OMG, I feel like I'm going to have an aneurysm watching this thing.
Edit: OMG, they even forgot where the room was? I.... I don't think I can take much more of this. Holy shit, just.....

Just replace the battery. I don't want to watch them redo the same sections of the game, and I don't want to have the chance of watching hours of this end up for nothing because the save disappears. That's not interesting, it's dumb.

How do you manage to suck at Chrono Trigger?

Damnit! They just fessed up to everything! They didn't get to see everything that the game was keeping track of.

Man, I love Ryan but he's just the worst possible driver for an Endurance Run. He just barrels through everything, ignoring text and hints and then saying "I have no idea what I'm doing here". My mental image of Vinny is making so many hilarious jokes and taking his time with the dialogue and not forgetting the half-hour he spent playing the game yesterday.

That was the most delicious part of that video.
Hilarious time shenanigans in your time travel Endurance Run are awesome.
Endurance Run is less about finishing the game as it is enduring the nonstop bitching from the audience.

Souring very quickly on this ER. The nine minutes of actual, new content were okay, but don't offset at all having to redo yesterday's content. It's entertaining when things go wrong on an ER by chance, it's not fun when you do it to yourself. Also, continuing to ignore dialogue, not pay attention for the combat and blindly wandering through the same areas will just get more tedious.
Since I sound like the people who were whining during the last ERs I'd like to clarify, I don't care if they play perfectly or do things exactly like I would. They're just setting themselves up for failure and it turns out that's not very fun to watch.

We need to get Vinny cloned, Giantbomb would be so much better if it were just be five vinnys.

No no no. It's all about the combos. The cast plays off each other very well, but by themselves they're all powerless.
Time will tell if Ryan and Patrick find their groove together.

Vinny and Vinny feels like a pretty fucking good combo.
I didn't figue it out until my second playthrough, so there's no chance they will.

I'd pay double what I pay to subscribe to GiantBomb if they just cloned Vinny and changed the site to VinnyBomb.
