But they could probably fit it into a single quick look session...
I wanted that idea to work out so much
EA would shut that shit down so fast.
True, some people also find watching pain dry to be entertaining. My bad.
It's like MST3K and/or playing games with friends.
Except that not really, but it's the same vibe.

Close. Everyone is secretly only into whatever you're into, they act otherwise just to spite you.

I watched it and loved it. I'm looking forward to Enduring this for X number of hours. I know it's not gonna happen, but goddamnit would I like for them to follow with Chrono Cross.

It's always interesting seeing how other people play games. When I played CT and games like it, I always explored everywhere and talked to every NPC I could find, usually multiple times to make sure they didn't say anything different. I understand that they're doing this for an audience and might think that's boring, but it usually saves time in the end and brings up extra details storyline-wise.
There's also a kind of, I dunno, cynicism? Not sure if that's the right word, towards games. I wonder if it comes with being a reviewer and playing so many games, but the idea of "okay I know what this is let's just get it over with." I usually give games a benefit of the doubt, even if they're old or in an established genre. Like it seemed they assumed that they just had to talk to a random NPC to trigger the next scene and it was an archaic/annoying JRPG staple, instead of it all being a purposeful setup for the trial later. If that makes sense.
I'm definitely gunna keep watching, should continue to be interesting.

Always meant to play this game. I hope the endure until the end!!
Unless the game craps out I am sure it will. Not that long or hard a game, surprised me a lot as I expected some 80 hours game when starting it.
Wait, I'm confused. Did you come into an endurance run thread solely to question why anyone would find watching an endurance run entertaining? Are you surprised that many people in this thread about this thing you apparently think isn't worth anyone's time disagree with you?

This is so cool. I've only played about half of chrono trigger though. But it really fun watching a game I've already played.
yeah, I don't get your angle. this is an ER thread. of course people are gonna be interested about the previous ERs.
Oh, and I can say without a doubt that watching Vinny and Jeff press X for 2 hours in the beginning of P4 was way more entertaining than when I tried to do it myself.

Hype!
Ryan and Patrick are no Jeff and Vinny but I am certain this will still be entertaining
Watching the first episode now!

Man, I can't believe they're renaming all the characters. I'm sure that's going to bug the hell out of me.

If they don't go with Brobo I'm gonna be pissed. Bobo's no bad either.
I don't think I'd like RPGs like this as much if I couldn't.

Brobo will surely happen. I can't wait for Brog, personally.

One of my favourite games of all time, this should be fun!
edit: Oh, Ryan's playing this? Hmm, ok.
And frustrating, I'll bet, after watching Patrick's MGS QL :/

My policy for game names:
- Suggested name in-game:
Leave it that way - The character has a name, but it's not suggested in-game (i.e. Legend of Zelda):
I use my own name - I'm making a character completely from scratch (i.e. Elder Scrolls):
A random name that makes sense in the game world

I don't mind the name thing really, but it's like... deciding to rename Captain Picard to Captain Dickhard for shiggles. It just messes with how I remember the game or something.
Yeah, this team is pretty good as well, i was laughing a lot, especially at the names.
Could you guys spoil a bit for us, first timers that never played Brono Trigger, and expand on this? What choices did they screwed up?

Things like eating the old man's lunch and trying to sell the pendant will soon come back to haunt them. Well, not really haunt them since the consequences aren't huge, but the game does keep track of being a douche.

The jazz album Patrick was talking about is Chrono Trigger Brink of Time, and you all need to listen to it right now.

Oh, did anyone catch Patrick saying "It's Halloween"? Does that mean they queued up a month of episodes?
Haha, those kind of things? They really didn't seem to matter to me tbh, funny that this game will remember those choices.

AWESOME first EP!
But man some of the things they did/did not do in the first part are going to haunt them big time!

Chrono Trigger is a hard game to screw up.
Plus, with their actions the court room scene will be hilarious.
I have to admit I'm glad they figured out that you can save on the world map though.

I really did not like the Brad/Ryan Deadly Premonition Endurance Run. I gave up watching it half way through. Brad was just so down on the game, calling it awful all the time. It was just a bummer. Vinny and Jeff made their own fun and laughed at how ridiculous it was.
I noticed that, I think they're either way ahead to just get a jump on getting the content done so there aren't any delays or possibly to avoid spoilers the whole time.

Hopefully that means they'll go straight through December without a break.

I love Chrono Trigger, it's my favorite game ever. It's kind of awesome to watch people playing it for the first time-ish on the endurance run. I'll definitely be watching this. It's giving me the urge to play it again myself.

Chrono Trigger is my second favourite game ever, and I know it back to front, so it's going to be hard not to nitpick what they do, but...
:lol at them making all the wrong choices at the beginning. omg... The Trial will now be amazing.
Sucks that Patrick spoiled theMarle Barle twist, though. C'mon, son.
The DS version is the definitive version, though (but I have a really soft spot for the Woolsey translation; it's the one I grew up with and I treasure it). Pick it up when you see it in the bargain bin (I've seen tons of copies of CT in the bargain bin at Walmart :/).

You should when you get the chance. It starts off a bit slow, but it gets awesome a little while in. It isn't too long either, unless you're committed to grinding, doing all the sidequests and replaying the game to get all the endings. It's made by a star-studded creative staff (Horii, Sakaguchi, Akira Toriyama), an awesome battle planner (Ito!), great background artists (Honne), and many more (Kitase, Mitsuda, Uematsu, etc). It's worth playing at least once.I never played Chrono Trigger so I am not watching this. I a looking into buying the DS version, but I have no money at the moment
