My favorite was during a podcast where we heard about an upcoming Kickstarter for something called Ukulele, and it was happening soon, which was supposed to be a spiritual successor to Banjo Kazooie. And the the immortal words were said, "No one loving cares about Banjo Kazooie."

The next day, Pat even said, "Man, I was so right about that! I checked my twitter and stuff, and no one complained! Haha, that KS is gonna fail."

Pat being super wrong about things and being made to look like a fool might be my favorite thing about him.

My favourite Pat bit is the one where he explains how he tucks his bed and slides into it during his weird sleeping ritual.

Pat is great.

I still have no idea how to process that sequence of words he said. Like I'm entirely unable to form a picture in my mind because it's so loving insane.

It's not that crazy really. He tucks his sheets then gets into them from the top like putting a piece of paper in an envelope.

Okay, now I'm confused. I thought Big Boss' right eye was fine. Also, supposedly he's the former villain of one of the games?

He is the entire point of the franchise. You "kill" him in the original MG 1 and 2, and the rest of the franchise is about him or getting his DNA.

Solidus was the one missing his left eye. Big Boss's are reversed.

The only "main series" game that doesn't center around Big Boss in some way either as a villain (MG1, MG2), hero (MGS3, PoOps, Peacewalker, MGSV), or a macguffin corpse (MGS, MGS4) is MGS2.

He had an eyepatch in his portraits in MG1 and MG2 so near the end of MGS3 you see young Ocelot accidentally shooting his eye out during a cutscene. I don't think it's ever explained if he got his damaged eye removed, replaced, or what since you only ever see it covered in blood before you get the eyepatch in Snake Eater, so nobody is sure what's up with the in-tact-though-probably?-non-functional eye he has in the prologue.

And even then, there's 2 and a quarter Big Boss clones running around in MGS2.

I never watched Let's Plays of the original Metal Gears so alright. And in general, Metal Gear plots have never managed to 'stick' in my head well like other game plots. I can tell you what happened in a Sonic Adventure game easier than I could explain a Metal Gear Solid.

The right one looks like its fine is what's confusing me. The other one looks milky white and I would've assumed that's the defective one.

Even geniuses need editors sometimes. MGS2 and 4 speak volumes to that. Not every idea that comes out of Kojima's head is a gold medal.

Yeah. I think Kojima's a loving fantastic director and...scenario writer for lack of a better term. It's just a shame that he's the sort of guy who also has to have total control over the writing, because while I like some of his conceptual/philosophical idea stuff, the quality of his actual writing is loving mixed, to say the least.

Big Boss never actually lost his eye. He was blinded by the muzzle flash from Ocelot's gun. :eng101:

I didn't mean 'lost' as in gone like his hand. I meant 'lost' as in lost functionality in it.

To be fair to Pat, it would be weird to go through life assuming you're super wrong all the time. Like, there's no way to know what things you're sure about are wrong, so you just assume they're all right until proven otherwise.

And as a Californian, saying the redwoods aren't real was one of the funniest moments for me, period. R2H was the gift that kept on giving.

No, most normal people just go through life acknowledging that there is a possibility they're wrong when they're just guessing about something or rattling off from memory. Pat just goes all in 100% with it, until proven otherwise (again and again and again).

Anyway, I'm really liking the Until Dawn playthrough, but I wonder how long it's going to take him to realize that's not Sarah Michelle Gellar.

After watching them try and fail to get the inputs i managed to find the manual for the game on steam.
I am not surprised at all that they didnt figure them out.
Also i do not understand half of the mechanics in this game

My understanding of the Pat-in-bed thing is that instead of doing it like a normal person:

1. fold back blanket/sheets
2. place body upon mattress
3. fold blanket/sheets back over body, fix up as needed

he starts by perfecting the blanket/sheets, then crawls into bed headfirst. It's not clear to me if he untucks the foot end of the blanket and shimmies up to the pillows (tucking it back in behind), or goes headfirst DOWN the bed, then rotates 180* until his head and feet are in the correct positions. I guess it's also possible he goes in feetfirst, like a child down a slide, but my heart tells me this is wrong.
