I get the feeling that the MGS team probably know how genes and stuff work, but it's easier to just go "recessive genes = the bad ones" instead of using the explanation that dominant and recessive genes are not a binary switch between good and bad and really what are 'good' and 'bad' genetics anyway and blah blah blah real life science. I mean sure the games love yammering on and on for half an hour about nothing, but MGS1 was a pioneer in that it has probably the least amount of dawdling on the plot of any of the games.

The best part about them calling Marie a Poochie on the podcast is that her Persona, Kaguya, is literally Japanese Folklore Poochie. Kaguya's whole story is that she was so perfect and beautiful that everyone (including the emperor of Japan) fell in love with her, but none of them were good enough for her, and it ends with her going back to her home planet. :allears:

I really enjoyed that Dead Zone video if only because it begs the question: Would a Telltale Games fighter have a bigger roster than Playstation All-Stars'? The answer may surprise you!

Speaking of fighting games, Pokken Fighters looks like actual hype. Also they're not limited to fighting types since they showed off 4-legged Pokemon like Suicine

I wonder how easy it'd be for someone with sufficient programming skills to just take the rom and map better controls and a button/key to every grab and finisher.

Though, all the control rejiggerings wouldn't fix how terrible most of the stages look. I think only half of the settings at least belie the Truman Show skybox tech they used.

Woolie damning Evil Zone and praising Divekick in the same breath for meta-game is about one of the funniest loving things on the channel I've ever seen. Oh and Pat's unabashed hatred of projectiles is funny too.

It looks like the Naruto Ninja Storm games, which are mostly pretty serviceable.

Either way, this is exactly the kind of Pokemon game I'd like to play. I like Pokemon as a franchise, but I find the main games to be desperately boring; I'd be more than happy to play a real-time fighter though.

I still can't figure out why sometimes it looks like an arena combat game and sometimes it looks like Tekken. I assume it's based on whether or not the players are on the same machine, but they look like they kind of control differently???

I'm watching the Fahrenheit LP again and I can't get over how bad it looks. It's hard to imagine that it came out around the same time as MGS3 and other good looking games.

Also, with regards to The Suffering, I think the rights to that IP are currently held by the United States Air Force. Like, the guys with the fighter jets, the bombers, the actual goddamn USAF. No idea how that happened; probably the same sort of legal shenanigans that got System Shock into the hands of an insurance company.

So, probably never gonna be a remake ever, alas.

(Also, bad cut at the end of the video! You cut it off just before party time started.)

Playing the HD Collection recently, MGS3 has actually aged pretty well. The environments can look a little rough, but character models - especially Snake - look fine, and the motion-captured cutscene animation still looks pretty drat good.
