THE EDF DEPLOYS!

Phillip Wagner

EDF 5 was the first series I watched on Bruce’s channel. So glad it makes a return.

Frydaddy 15

May favourite thing about edf was always the fact that Lawrence understood it, and everyone else didn't know wtf is going on

Spooky Mulder

I usually hate japanese games but EDF has always been amazing, I love the route that was taken with this, being able to have a team of four characters with one weapon each is amazing, playing co op gives you so many more options for weapons now it looks like so much fun

Battousai X

Why do you hate em? There are lots of great Japanese games that come out every year

MT Paige

I like how he says it's sponsored but they would have played it anyways... and with the history of EDF streams, I really believe it. (I will also be disappointed if they don't finish this one)

Debayan Banerjee

Hey Bruce. Been a fan of you and the entire Funhaus team (original ones). Just learnt today that you left them. So glad to just see and hear you comedic voice!

Reese Hurst

I WAS JUST STARTING TO REWATCH YOUR OLD EDF VIDEOS I WAS HALFWAY THROUGH IRON RAIN THANK YOU PAPA BRUCE

Colin Dunnet
