New Premium video suggestion: Brad attempting to finish Inferno 3 a la this video.
Video keeps going until he finishes. No mercy!

I think there needs to be an achievement attached to it or Brad doesn't care. 
Instict? Luck? Who cares?
Bunny hopping is absolutely intrinsic to the harder difficulties in the game; it's like he's been playing Street Fighter for two weeks without knowing how to throw a fireball. Outside of the fact it's actually almost impressive that he was able to unlock Extreme without somehow doing that, I literally don't understand how someone could play that much of the game and not figure out that simple of a concept. I think one of the License Tests even tells you how to do it. My wife who has never played Trials before in her life understood and was doing it within 5 minutes. It's baffling.
Watching the TNT and QL I don't think so. I'm not actually angry AT Brad, I just am completely flabbergasted that he didn't pick up on it at all and that he was somehow able to get as far as he did without doing that (which like I said is kind of impressive). I love the Giant Bomb guys, but they're not who I ever go to for "serious" gaming skills or whatever.

Oh god, in that trials supplemental Ryan taking the controller and doing in one try what brad looked like he'd never be able to do in his entire life was like the biggest godsend ever. Those extreme tracks do have parts that could feasibly take 300-500 faults to get through, but that first checkpoint was so damn simple. I'm just so glad brad got learned that it was him being bad and not the game being unreasonable there. Quicklook was made right there.
I recounted using the windows calculater as one of those click counters and brad having a little practice last night had 51 faults and showed no signs of even getting close. Ryan beat the entire track having never seen it before this quicklook with 56 faults (57 if you want to count that misfire at the switch).
Very satisfying to see brad put in his place. He'd probably do a lot better if he did the tutorials again and learned how to bunny hop again.

brad could spend 2 hours failing to beat 1-1 in mario and derfeef would still post about how he did perfectly fine

Cool something I didn't say or imply in the vaguest possible sense.

I really want a Breaking Brad: Trials Edition, it's a perfect game for it.

I think you just insulted someones mother.
If you really think that's the case... ok.
At least I am not click-counting the re-tries of someone.

Ryan is not too bad at Trials, actually. Seems to have the knack of the game, for sure.

Supplemental quick looks are a great idea. Going back to something once you're deeper and can show off a more drastic difference than the beginning moments of a game. I also just like watching them play Trials.
Ok, fine. Coming down on somebody who doesn't share your point of view, case in point Brad's performance in the trials, is really unnecessary. Some would say he played like shit other feel he did fine, it's a forum and learn to except that not everybody will see eye-to-eye.

May contain jokes =>
Look, I've never been one to come in here and rail on Brad for Quick Looks, but there's no questioning in this case that he's simply not very good at Trials. That's okay, it's not a defamation of his character or personality, he's just not very good at it. I don't see why it can't be left at that.

What, i thought it was fun. Im not upset or anything. Figured it be worth it too since other people might want to know.
The number is in the upper left corner anyway.

It doesn't count until you reach the first checkpoint.

Poor Brad. People play differently when they are infront of a camera/on pressure.

You're still completely misinterpreting what I was saying.
Dude seriously. Every other page page, someone says one thing and its 3 pages of arguing over something banal.
Ehh, yeah I came off a bit harsh. My bad, still stand by my point though.

inclined to agree. wholeheartedly.
Clearly they are because what follows is usually pages of bitching.

What a twist in the Trials Supplemental quick look. I did not see that coming.

I think for the most part it's just light-hearted poking fun.
I'm the first to defend the guy, but you have to admit it was particularly egregious in this QL. Brad: "I think I almost got it" - 50 identical tries later he's in the exact same place.
And Ryan doing it on his first try was COMEDY GOLD.

I agree with you, but it would be funnier if I didn't see some people here completely lose it at times.
Well, actually I find that pretty damned funny as well, but it shits up the thread.
It's funny when people are actually joking and not coming off like crazy people.
