Also if you're trying for no-kills, the Fatman fight is such a p in the d on higher difficulties. The M9 does barely anything to his lifebar.

Fatman was my first wall I hit when I played on extreme for the first time. I can take him out no problem on every other difficulty, but on extreme he takes a million hits, and his bomb timers start at like nine seconds. It's brutal, if you're not actively knocking him down and freezing the bombs before he starts the timer, you can't win since he drops like five or six at a time.

On a more fun note, if you freeze all the bombs before he can start the timer, he'll shake the detonator and have a question mark over his head because he doesn't know why they haven't activated :haw:

Heh... Spider-man... Web searches... That's funny. I should've trademarked that one. Could've made a mint.
Any chance of a Grace episode where she's the one behind the controller? Doesn't have to be long, I'm just curious at how good she is at playing Metal Gear.

:siren:Let's Play Metal Gear Solid 2 Episode 8 - You Must Be Ames :siren:

So during this recording, Steam decided that was the perfect time to update like twenty games, which killed my bandwidth and took a lot out of my CPU, which isn't that great in the first place. I managed to save almost all of the footage, but if I left in the choppy footage, Megui and premiere just straight up refused to render the entire thing. I managed to fix it in my normal subtle way, you probably won't notice.

Also just a side note, if you're going to be playing Phantom Pain on PS4, add me on PSN at "Kamachiya". I need more people to help my descent into self destruction via revenge. I probably won't steal your pups.

Haha, the Ames hunt. Apparently in at least the original version (not sure if also true in Substance) the rest of the hostages besides Ames and Jennifer will change depending on your system clock's time. Sometimes they're the variety seen here, sometimes they're all old women, and sometimes they're all men in suits. I got the latter my first time playing, and between that and Jennifer's heartbeat being wildly different from everyone else (due to being scared shitless) I assumed she was Ames. Then I started harassing her and insisting she was. She got more and more pissed then alerted the guards. Also another pervy thing you can do with her (and other women) is if you hit L3 while the directional mic is on her, Raiden will list off her bra size. Stay classy Kojima.

Also, I'm SO HAPPY you showed off Johnny in this scene. I hope you show off the other things you can do with the directional microphone later.

Oh and one more tangential thing--in theory in Voudoun mythology, a single person can produce both a ghost and a zombie.

So between episodes, Grace was like "ey look at me I have a family I'm the fanciest", so while waiting for Grace to come back, I pretty much chugged down a cider in protest just to be able to drink something I liked. This ended up not being smart. :(

For all the poo poo this game gets, Solidus' introduction and the entire loving Arsenal Gear sequence are still awesome. And that's with multiple people yelling "Big Boss", which has to be the dumbest codename ever, at the top of their lungs.

There's a very thin line where I go from "Buzzed" to "Dumbass". I've made a handy chart to show the progression.



I've only ever been to Solidus once, I've learned when to cut myself off since then. I've gotten to Liquid a couple times during these LPs, usually slightly before any episodes where I start getting caught left and right :v:

Also fun fact, I've never had a hangover no matter how much I drink. I'm a Canadian of German/Irish descent so I probably have all the right genes.

Quite a lot of this commentary reminded me of this:

And then we're gonna go on even MORE adventures after that, Grace. And you're gonna keep your MOUTH SHUT about it, Grace..

Probably not, to be honest. I'm trying to avoid schedule slip like crazy, which can be difficult considering both of our schedules are always in flux. :froggonk: As a result we try to record as many videos a night as we can.

Which reminds me:



:siren:This Friday the 4th at 1900 ADT will be the Ghost Babel Hellstream!:siren: It'll be broadcast from my hitbox channel here if you're interested in watching! I'll post about an hour before it starts. We don't really have a stop time other than whenever I sober up enough to realize what an awful idea it is to livestream a 2D Metal Gear game blind.

If you can't make it, I'll be uploading it to youtube as well, so don't worry.

Ditto here, with some Russian and Scottish thrown in as well. Sadly, I have some kind of liver disorder where I go from Sober to Solidus in, like, a quarter of a drink.

Despite literally not being able to drink alcohol, I technically have hangovers all the time, because the same liver thing makes me incredibly dehydrated no matter what. I usually end up having to drink 14-16L of water every day, MINIMUM, and even then I have to wake up in the middle of the night and empty a 2L water bottle while I'm sleeping.

What I'm trying to say, is a single cutscene would kill me, so Godspeed, you crazy man, because those 2-hour cutscenes in MGS4 are going to be brutal, no matter how you look at it.

Fun fact--you don't need the sniper rifle for the semtex disposal. At all. They claim you do because some of the bombs are too far for auto-lock, but the barrel sight for the SOCOM works pretty drat well, and you can hit all the targets in first person mode. There's only one part in the game where you actually need the rifle.

My OBS setup actually works better as a capture card setup than the capture card's viewer software, so I'm considering recording it all anyway just in case something funny happens :v: with that said we won't be properly LPing it until after MGS4 since I already look awful enough playing the games I know front to back. Zero-progress episodes aren't something I can bring myself to put up.

From what I've heard TPP only has one save slot. How noble of you to sacrifice all your progress for us. For TPP's drinking game how about you take a shot every time it recommends you make a micro-transaction.

The key difference in being DSP is being specifically unaware that you're a terrible person who is terrible at games. Also yelling at games. Mostly you yell at yourself which is acceptable and also good.
