Endurance Run Showdown

by jjweatherman

Everyone's excited about the new series of Endurance Runs and for good reason. Freakin' double the action! I'm having a hard time choosing exactly how I will watch this "season" though. Initially I thought of course I would watch both VJ's and BR's Runs as they are released. I have now done this for two days and am thinking of maybe changing it up. I'm considering choosing one Endurance Run to follow until finished, and then watch the other. There's a couple problems with this though. First problem is I have a burning desire to watch every piece of video content GB puts up, so it may kill me trying to hold off on the other Run happening at the same time. Problem two is actually choosing which to watch if I go this route. So I'm going to break down a little of what I saw the first two days and hopefully this will help me decide.

Team VJ! Starting with Vinny and Jeff (VJ). These two obviously have been here before and experienced an Endurance Run (ER). I felt like the first episode didn't reflect this nearly as much as the second VJ episode. It took a little bit to get back into it but team VJ are back to their hilarious do-what-they-want ways. Day one just seemed like they were trying a little hard, but now they seem more relaxed and into it. However Vinny behind the wheel can be a little slow sometimes. I love ya Vinny but you gotta shoot those guys in the head! Anyways team VJ are always making lots of jokes and observations that are always somewhere between slightly funny and hilarious. I feel like they will continue to get better as the game goes on.
Ryan!
Now for team BR. They are obviously the new kids on the ER block. Brad and Ryan left a really good impression after day one. I actually was considering exclusively watching the BR ER after day one and saving the VJ ER for after. I decided to give both a try again on day two and I found the roles to be reversed. As I stated earlier, the VJ run seems to be developing nicely and becoming more comfortable and funny as time goes on. Sadly day two of BR was more of a step back. I still liked some of the jokes and I definitely like Brad behind the wheel a little more. But there was just a lot of instances where Brad would seem unwilling to just enjoy the game. Brad and Ryan just seem to have a "Lets just get through this" attitude to the game while team VJ seem to be enjoying it more.

I need more Brad pictures. Despite the seemingly one sided fight leaning toward team VJ here, I'm still undecided. I really like team VJ's jokes and overall style. But at the same time team BR are new and fresh. Also I have a slight preference to watching Brad play a game. Part of that is the hope that he will die I'm sure. :P
I'm going to sit here and reflect on what I have written for approximately 30 seconds and then make a decision...

As I was sitting here reflecting for about 30 seconds, all that I could think of was Jeff's comments on how York smokes like Andrew Dice Clay. That speaks to me as strongly as York's coffee speaks to him. I must watch the Vinny and Jeff Endurance Run. OK, yes, I'll watch the team VJ ER exclusively from now on and then watch BR after VJ's is over. Oh god what have I done? The second video sitting there staring at me every day is going to be a true test of endurance by not watching it. Sorry team BR, I will for sure watch your videos eventually though. I just want to do things this way for some reason that I still don't fully understand.
