Energy is fine, not giving a poo poo whether Pat or the audience can follow along is not fine

I could follow along just fine. It's funny and fun and we don't have droning backstory about the moronic Metal Gear politics going on every second, so it's good for me.

Basically I'm here for the goofy stealth bullshit, not whatever the story's trying to be this time. Metal Gear stories get turbo-awful very, very quickly when they start taking themselves seriously.

Gunjumper Liam is ideal for TPP LP, because if they stopped to listen to every cassette etc, the playthrough would go into 100+ parts.

Plus he's actually super good at Metal Gear. He's got the balance of speed and stealth.

Yeah I have to agree. Keeping the game moving is probably the most important in a LP. If you want all the story you should probably buy the game yourself (it's really loving good from what I've played so far) or just find some YouTube video of all the tapes that I assure you some fan will do soon if not already.

As annoying as Liam can be on the podcast he is probably the best at videogames out of the Zaibatsu.

Liam playing it is fine cause he can probably do a buncha goofy poo poo that'll be fun to watch. Him trying to out talk the cutscenes while everyone is trying to tell him to cut it out in a polite way is pretty annoying. I'm sure it'll even out though or Pat will murder him with a wet toothbrush.

Yeah, I don't have a problem with him during the actual playing part, but he just skips dialogue constantly in most of his LPs lately.

I never seem to get a reply from the mgs thread about this, but: are the pre order bonus items unlockable through regular gameplay or are they now forever locked off? poo poo sucks that I only managed to find enough spending money literally the day it came out.

Also I heard keyboard and mouse is really unwieldy with TPP, what's the deal on that?

They're just some lovely re-skinned guns and camo, why do you care? I've never even used any of the pre-order stuff in the 50+ hours I've played.

Liam is basically if Jeff Gerstmann were born in the 90's and were way less cynical and grumpy about video games. And was also way into terrible anime.

Liam's actual like of anime garbage is probably the main reason I like him. I mean he knows, but he's cool with it. Liam highlights include: playing Sonic Adventure while Matt and Woolie talk about Dinobots, Aria of Sorrow playthrough, his promo for wrestlemania II, and his unflinching almost relentless opinions.

I don't think anyone cares about his tastes. No one really gives a poo poo if he likes anime, he's just inconsistent in his opinion and his predictable-and-constant devil's advocate is annoying.

Yeah, he's sincere and I can dig that. Plus, for all the devil's advocacy, he usually has the right reaction to "you like X and it's dumb and bad": "yeah".

My main autistic nitpick. with Liam is that part of the appeal of a LP is to experience a game even when you're poo poo at it, but man does he skip a lot of the text and plot and leave people feeling short shrifted.

For shorter games that can bug me, but after the Pat/Woolz dynamic for the last two long LPs, I welcome the new age of gunjumping in this case. And an LP shouldn't be a replacement for actually playing the game yourself anyway.
