I don't think I ever made the connection that Ocelot killed Sigint on purpose to cover his tracks. The MGS games are like the Kingdom Hearts games--they reveal just enough to make you think you're getting to the bottom of things, then pull the rug out from under you to make no sense. Also I like the tiny detail that when the Colonel is being detained, he doesn't voice the game over audio. Mei Ling does instead.

In MGS2, during the final boss, pretty much loving everyone on your codec is either dead or Snake. Snake is busy doing other poo poo, so when you die, the only person to provide game over audio is Solidus, who just laughs at you. Also when you die in MGS1 due to the bomb exploding on top of Rex, the game over audio is Liquid laughing, meaning Liquid can survive being ten feet from a gigantic bomb.

There are so many weird little plotholes in MGS1. Like, you said a bomb shouldn't phase Liquid. But Liquid said that was a loving nuclear bomb. Only this reminded me of the fact he said the thing was designed to go off when Meryl died. I didn't see Solid "Nuclear Bomb Expert" Snake diffusing it so why didn't it go off? I'll also never get over the fact Meryl was capped in both her legs and her arm by a sniper rifle a few hours ago....yet she can get up and run and drive no problem. These things would bug me but then I realize Metal Gear Solid is actually the silliest MGS, even moreso than 3 in my opinion. MGS1 always felt the most like a very intentionally 80s Action B-Movie and unless your movie is Die Hard, 80s action movie means you should turn off your brain. (I know Die Hard came out in 1990 or whatever but it was made in the 80s and feels like an 80s movie)

So, only tangentially related, the other afternoon I was watching some dumb fairy tale movie with my kid. The king seemed to have a familiar voice, but the actor was listed as Kelly Brewster, with zero other credits. I did some investigating, and my hunch was correct--it was Cam Clarke completely phoning it in with absolutely zero effort.

It's an absolutely generic retelling of Snow White, only with her as a party girl, and instead of the apple putting her in fake death to be rescued by a handsome prince, she's a party girl where the apple makes her say rude things about all her friends. When she flees to the forest, she finds the dwarves who force her to work for the needy of fairy tale land, turning her life around.. It's very dull and inoffensive, but that puts it already on a shelf above many kids movies these days.

Drink every time Snake 1080 Nose-Grinds a nuclear warhead https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzh7vEaazBM. Missed opportunity to have the throwdown with Fatman decided by whoever had the sickest moves. If you're still taking beer suggestions; Since you are a fellow Canadian and an ex-Tipping40s fan(? comes through in your commentary; it's a good thing) check out La Fin Du Monde by Unibrou. I have taken the liberty of rephrasing the beer pairing from their website: Beer Pairing posted:With its perfect harmony of cereal flavors, nanomachines, bitterness, and high entertainment value, La Fin du Monde is a refined ale with subtle aromas. Its assertive flavors reveal a strong personality that serves as an Otocon repellent and a profound essentialist understanding into the complex, and well thought out plot points of a Metal Gear game.

Meh, the skateboarding segment is cooler sounding than it is on substance. It's a demo (of I want to say Skate?) And you can't save during it, so you have to 100% your runs each time, and there's no stat gain. The snake and raiden runs are completely different at least.

I think Metal Gear Solid 2 was the first game I ever got drowned in hype for. I remember the disappointment of not being able to play as Snake, but it was a cool twist that Snake was running around doing badass stuff off-screen.

 So I was thinking about making a channel trailer because why not, but some incredibly unfun life stuff happened today, so I got a couple beers in me and this is what happened instead. If there was any justice in this world I'd probably be forced to uninstall Premiere, and Cam Clarke would have been in MGS4. See you in MGS4 Meryl, keep some pepto in your bag. I think the "drat!" Snake shouts right after he punches rex's roof is the same clip they use when Snake fails a time trial in VR missions. Meryl dying and losing a video game use the same level of drat to Snake.

Kept you waiting, huh? "Is this just going to be an entire episode of us just rambling bullshit the entire time?" Hey, weren't you going to play MGS2? Yup! And we will eventually, scheduling's been tough and we wanted to play something lighter. No drinking conditions, no terrible beer, just cider and sass  Spoilers: This is mostly just us shooting the poo poo over the game, so don't expect pro gameplay or even talking about the game much, especially with this playthrough. What's the difference? In the original MGS, there were ten VR missions that acted basically as a tutorial/time trial thing, VR missions is a collection of over 300, starting off as fairly normal, then flying into the ridiculous with modes like "Mystery" and "Ninja". Yes you can play as Gray Fox. Are you planning on completing it? Not right away but eventually. We'll definitely be showing off all the missions, but 100%ing all the time trials won't be on screen. You don't want to see episode 347 of let's play loving dan fucks up for another half an hour. Trust me. So uh, how good are you at it?

How to (pretend to) be pro at MGR: Tap Blade Mode trigger after finishing every combo. If you're pro, this lets you cancel the longass animation on certain moves. If you're not, it looks like you at least know what you're doing.

Great stage name, questionable candy, creepy guy. VR Missions may be full of pretty much nothing but reused assets from MGS proper but they made a drat good game out of it. They waste no time in shaking up stage layouts you've gone through but with more/different obstacles. Looking forward to seeing some of the crazier stages I never managed to unlock!
