We recorded a bunch of episodes last night, and had to stop because I ran out of beer. Holy gently caress President Johnson was a slaughter of drinking words.

Danaru. Buddy. While your suffering is it's own form of comedy, killing yourself for internet strangers is also no good. So before you Start up MG3 or MGS4 or further games, see if you can find an online script, and then do a quick search for how many times a potential drinking word shows up. If it is more than say, *filters for the fact internet "script" has editors notes saying "They are talking about-" constantly* more than... You are going to die.

Wait, I just had a weird thought. Is Ocelot still calling Solidus "Mr. President" even though he stepped down after Shadow Moses? Because if so, that's a little weird I guess, but otherwise if not, then is he talking to Johnson as he escapes the Tanker?

Because if so, that's a little weird I guess, but otherwise if not, then is he talking to Johnson as he escapes the Tanker? Former Presidents are usually addressed as "Mr. President" long after they leave office, it's not unusual at all that Solidus would retain that title. Ocelot despite being Russian, did work for a branch of the U.S. Military, and also is working under Solidus so it's not hard to see where that respectful formality comes from. A thought occurred to me while watching the Plant chapter intro. This setup is very similar to the 90s action movie "The Rock." Both feature a terrorist takeover of an offshore facility during a tour, and the group attending the tour become hostages. The counter terrorist squads in both the movie and the game are both massacred in a single room, leaving only two survivors who can save the day: An older, battle hardened, ex-commando and a younger man with experience in training scenarios but has never seen live combat. There are a couple other similarities as well, bomb defusal(missile dismantling in the film), the stakes being raised with a pregnant girlfriend, and probably a few others I can't think of due to not seeing the movie or having played the game in years. What I'm saying is that Nicholas Cage and Sean Connery should have played Raiden and Snake. Edit: If you haven't seen it, go watch The Rock. It's basically a how-to guide for making an entertaining action movie.

The Rock was a pretty solid movie that's for sure. And it's not hard to believe that Kojima is heavily influenced by other people's ideals... Especially movies. He is totally the "I WANNA DO THAT" type.

They originally wanted to watch Saving Private Ryan but the line was too long.

The Rock is loving fantastic and is generally the go to movie I use when I have to explain that Nic Cage can actually act. By the way, I did a commentaryless Dunk% Speedrun of Ground Zeroes using the rules set up by Tie Tuesday. Surprise I was actually kinda good at video games this whole time  "Kills by car running over dunked men are allowed, otherwise 1-shot CQC cutscene/sprinting melee knockouts only. No thrown items or weapons of any kind except victory rocket. Must receive either A-Rank (for America) or S-Rank (SlamJam) Must fire victory rockets out of helicopter at end of run." Also if you're not already following Tie Tuesday, you should.

The thing with Nicholas Cage is that he ascribes to the "be flamboyant as gently caress with acting" instead of all that pussy rear end subtlety other actors do. Also, he was great in 8mm and Face/Off.

There's a theory on the internet that Kojima never intended the events of MGS2 to be real. They were supposed to have happened in VR, with Raiden being a Guinea pig for the S3. Unfortunately people took umbrage with MGS2 so Kojima had to say "nope it was actually all real" and MGS4 became what it is.

So... How much does each video you've recorded have actual gameplay in it? This is what, the second one in a row that's more cutscene than gameplay?

The game was made to screw with peoples' heads and it did its job perfectly. Also Rose does start to get a bit...aggressive later on in the story or if you do things like shoot helpless birds or hostages. But she's also very cute. As you saw, she didn't really bite your head off like Mei Ling did. If anything, Rose seemed a bit amused by Raiden being in the ladies' room.

My favourite part about this is that there's an entire page just for Rose, and even they can't figure out what the gently caress  By the way, apparently Cyphers are real things, despite never actually getting past the prototype stage. I honestly had no idea.

A surprising amount of the crazy robot poo poo in the earlier metal gear games actually existed at one point, probably most famously those dumbass flying hovercraft thingamajigs in MGS3. I didn't know that the cyphers really existed but frankly I'm not surprised.

Yeah, and with modern drone technology Cipher-like floating cameras are an even bigger possibility, though who knows if anybody would actually bother to use them as security cameras or tiny flying gun turrets. I liked how they were introduced in Peace Walker: there, they're called Kidnappers because they're all equipped with a claw that can grapple onto you and snatch you away.

We already use floating cameras to take videos of marriage vows. I'm pretty sure the military already has a batch of spy camera drones. Has Kojima ever tried to make a statement about drone use in wars? I know the Gekko sort of went in that direction, but that was more about asymmetric warfare and less about drones. Cause drone use really has almost no rules and makes the US look really bad.

Nah they mean that specific model of drone, the camera on tripod above a single rotor. Also Drone/Remote Warfare wasn't as much of a global concern at the time.

Let's Play Metal Gear Solid 2 Episode 5 - Facta Non Verba Stillman talks for a billion years, I find out stouts are pretty good, and the dogtag collection gets off to a rocky start. This game becomes a lot funnier when you assume any time GW or Raiden bring up VR, that they're talking about my performance in VR missions. also for anyone who cares Fatman is placing C4, the semtex is on the Shell 1 - Shell 2 bridge whomp whomp

The codec thing looked cool but just becomes kind of a clusterfuck once other games come into the mix. I already have some banners made, but they look kind of lovely and I want to remake them whenever I manage to get more than twenty minutes alone with paint.net  I'll probably revamp the beer post too, I've never been completely happy with it.

"Oh those guys up there don't have dogtags so it's fine." *later goes in and grabs their dogtags* The binocular dude was the one on the balcony, tricksy guy who was looking during the alert was one of the guys hanging out around the harrier. Also, they made an X-Files joke. In Season 1, Mulder has an informant for the big shadowy forces calling himself Deep Throat. He's killed off, as the actor died, and then Mulder gets another informant who calls himself Mr. X. Also also, you showed a few of the bombs off early--they're totally active then and can be detonated with bullets to game over if you're dumb.

I'm no bomb disposal expert but I'm pretty sure C4 doesn't work like that. EDIT: Yup. C-4 Wikipedia article posted:C-4 cannot be detonated by a gunshot or by dropping it onto a hard surface. It does not explode when set on fire or exposed to microwave radiation.[8] Detonation can only be initiated by a combination of extreme heat and a shockwave, such as when a detonator inserted into it is fired.

The worst part is, I forget where exactly, but I think its Otacon that mentions on the tanker that the semtex they have everywhere is linked to some kind of shock sensor, and that's why they detonate when shot So Kojima knew that was bullshit and hid a handwave somewhere Choco1980 posted:Also also, you showed a few of the bombs off early--they're totally active then and can be detonated with bullets to game over if you're dumb. In the original, on the higher difficulties, you could set off the big-rear end bomb below Strut A by running near it and triggering the microwave sensor, even if you JUST started the plant They changed the giant bomb location in Substance though, so I couldn't manage to set it off in this version (when I was playing on my own).

It really bothers me how Raiden constantly clicks his pistol when he aims it at someone. What is he doing, flicking the safety on and off? Cocking and decocking the hammer? Either shoot someone or don't, drat it! Don't make the pistol noise equivalent of "I really really mean it!"
