That was my guess while watching, too. I still wonder how much time smoking a cigarette takes off the clock since NEITHER team has bothered to take  a smoke break.

You can upgrade your car abilities by doing side missions- faster, better handling, bigger gas tank. You can also buy other cars too.

What was the movie York mentioned during lunch? The alien invasion and town hall thing? Anyone?
Normally he would show off his B-movie trivia stuff.

Instead of saying "oh Arnold" he should have said "hey Arnold". That would have propelled this game from kinda bad to kinda great.

Probably the funniest episode I've seen in an Endurance Run since the whole "bitches" thing in Persona 4.  I've rewatched that whole segment with Thomas at the motel several times now.

Everything is closed in the open world and now your car is gone.......that's a good summary of this game Jeff! Wow, seeing Thomas dancing was awkward lol. A perfect example of why Vinny and Jeff will always be the best for Endurance Runs is they always do crazy things like driving a car into a horse not once but twice LOL.

I'm slowly working through these, and I'm so torn between wanting to actually pick this up to experience the magical disaster myself, or just continue watching you guys. I have a feeling it wouldn't be nearly as entertaining without an audience however, so I'm probably just gonna keep on clicking.

@Kordesh: 
 
Talk about coincidence. I'm doing the same thing; although, I'm only watching the VJ versions of these. I did watch this towards the tail-end of the ER, but only within the past few weeks did I actually decide to start it from scratch (the VJ side, at least).
 
I can tell ya: you're not the only one who thought about picking up a copy as he rewatches this. In the end, I decided against it. Playing it myself doesn't give me the Mystery Science Theater style commentary, which makes this game 90% more unintentionally funny.

Hah, the music that plays when they look in Thomas's room. I never noticed that the first time watching these.

And for as low as the production values of this game are, I'm still amazed by how good the writing and voice-acting are. "He needs some friends that aren't so dumb". As bad of a pun as that is, it's still extremely awesome in it's own weird way. The game has a great sense of humor (that's sometimes let down by the delivery, or sometimes enhanced).

These videos are going to get me in trouble at work. My office mate gave me several dirty looks as I cracked up at the peeking sequence.

George is OK and all, but he doesn't really beat the likeability of Truman in Twin Peaks.

The FoV in that first person driving camera is so low, probably what's making Jeff feel ill. But I agree with Vinny, it is more fun to watch.

It's interesting to go back to this after watching the Shenmue QL. Same issues of having to wait until a certain time for stuff to happen, except there's a lot more to do to kill the time here. And maybe Jeff and 2010 Vinny were more willing to explore and try to find side stuff when they had some downtime than 2016 Vinny, Alex and Dan were.

This ER was absolutely of a certain time and place in Vinny and Jeffs lives. Vinny wouldn't have his first child for two more years.
