So what do you think of drinking some wheat beers for one of the drinking games?

You did what in your cup?
That cartwheel into the water was sick. If you can find it Captain Morgan Sherry Oak is quite good very smooth for a rum. It is a "limited" edition and is made around winter so it might be a little hard to find. But it is well worth it hopefully they make another batch this year.

It doesn't help in the scope of the LP, but for some inexplicable reason, coconut rum and vanilla coke go much better together than they have business to.

Dan seems to like wheat beer good enough. And I too think wheat beer is a good introductory beer because it's a lot less bitter than IPAs or pilsners.

Also Mgs2 is one of my favorite Mgs games and the Emma sequence isn't at all bad. I just shot her unconscious and hid her while I cleared out the floors. As far as escort missions go this is by far one of the better ones.

So just some fun news, recording of MGS2 is done! :v: We also recorded the Virtuous Mission of MGS3 right afterwards, so look forward to that!

I also recorded a bonus video of MGS5. It contains minor spoilers for Mission 28 if you want to keep yourself completely blind.

On second thought, no. Too many people did that already.

Regarding the Vamp fight, going in the first time I had no clue what they meant by the auto-aim and for some reason my retarded college rear end thought they were talking about the first person aim since I would do that constantly...So I thought it meant I had to fire from the hip which was scary as gently caress. I ran out of pistol ammo while backed into the door to Emma's section, and looked in first person, and he was in that "slowly walk towards you" mode which is crazy af if you're scared of him.

Also Dan didn't really explain it, but grenades in the water, whether manually thrown or shot with the RGB make Vamp's oxygen go WAY down so he jumps out much quicker. He did this in video but said nothing about it.

Speaking of grenades, throwing a flashbang at him is another way of dealing with his auto-dodge: he can't dodge if he's too busy being blinded, and the best part is it even works if he's on the rafters! Hell, Stun Grenades are just incredibly potent in general in MGS2 and MGS3.

For some pain in the rear end reason, Adobe's media encoder refused to notice that I cut out the syncing bit at the beginning. Youtube apparently has an editor that lets me cut it out, but it's been showing "edit in progress" for about nine hours now. I'm starting to get salty about it, so hey if you watch it before/if it ever finishes editing, you'll get to hear us sync! Whoo!

It's because of youtube's editing thing, it's cut out the audio I wanted out, but hasn't gotten to cutting out the footage. It'll clear up eventually I hope. :cripes:

Goddammit, Vamp. "Oh, I'm going to make you go through an escort quest, then, just when it's about to end, make you do some stupid sniping bullshit, and then stab the person you're protecting to death anyway. Because I'm a pissbucket."

For some reason I remember there being more struts to go through with Emma and it being a bitch to get the dogtags for. At one point I actually planned things out on pen and paper to figure out how to grab the tags.

Also, doesn't the sniping count towards your kill count? I would usually go with the PSG-T for this very reason. I want to say it slightly slows Emma down as she has to step over unconscious guards but it's still totally doable.

They also retcon it so in MGS4 he has the same kind of boots as the FROGs which is supposed to explain the gravity-defying stuff. Of course it doesn't explain the running on water or swimming in zero buoyancy water.

We never got to see it because of the way Dan cheesed the fight but in 2 Vamp can also paralyze you by pinning your shadow with a knife .Explain that with nanomachines, Kojima.

We're talking about a canon that has several clones, at least two psychics (maybe three if you count Ocelot), a shaman, a guy who can perfectly impersonate anyone he wants, a super-lucky lady, a centuries-old sniper, a flame man, a hornet man, a lightning man, and whatever the gently caress The Fear was. Surely an actual vampire is not that far-fetched.

What Dan said about knives is 100% true. When I did karate my teacher (5th dan black belt) explicitly told us: "If you get mugged and all the guy wants is your wallet, loving give it to them. Happened to me a handful of times. If I do everything right 99,9% of the time I can have the guy on his rear end with a broken arm no problem, but 0,1% he moves in a weird way or I stumble or something and I get stabbed and die, and that one in a thousand chance is not worth the maybe fifty bucks I have in my wallet."
