I finally got around to playing MGS3 and I love how Snake will start screaming if you fire the M63 for long enough.

He does the scream every time you fire it, too, so you can make him sound really ridiculous if you want by just firing it in bursts.

Described below are mild spoilers for the game Undertale, consisting of the first hour or so of gameplay.

The first NPC you encounter, Flowey, is a malevolent creature that wants to hurt you. I let Flowey hurt me without realizing it meant to. Toriel, a bunny surrogate mom that wants to be your teacher, shooed him away.

Later on, after being helped by an NPC, I pushed the story forward and had to fight Toriel for the first time, I accidentally killed her because I didn't know you could just "Spare" multiple times to end the fight.

I reloaded my save, redid the boss fight, and Spared Toriel. Afterward, Flowey interrupted my progression. Because I had quit the game, reloaded, and refought Toriel to spare her, Flowey called me out on savescumming to spare Toriel.

I'm 2 hours in and this game is already chock full of awesome little details like that. Not even counting The skeleton dating simulator, which I played through to its (as far as I am now, just barely beyond the first Undyne spear-dodging minigame) conclusion.I got friendzoned by a skeleton :saddowns:

He's actually a skeleton warrior. Enjoy, people using the sjw to skeleton extension!

Supposedly if you do nothing when prompted, the doctor gets mad at you.

You can also take out your ipad when people talk to you. Ocelot keeps getting annoyed and he's just like. Sigh, big boss put away the idroid and talk to me. Stop shooting me in the face, that doesn't work. Don't punch me, that won't work. PUT AWAY THE IDROID. And then I run away and start throwing soldiers around while he's still talking in the distance. You can also run animals over with your horse and knock them out.

I'll be honest, I do miss the old snake voice actor. This one sounds too serious considering how much time I just spend throwing people around and tying sheep to balloons.

Wait until you research the Rocket Arm because the moment you hear Keifer Sutherland scream "ROCKET PUUUUNCH" without a hint of irony is one of the many amazing things about game of the current geologic era MGSV.

The fact that there is a rocket punch might be my favorite thing yet. When do I get this? I need a rocket punch in my metal gear life. I also had way too much fun with the emblem creator and wound up with an orange and cyan logo proclaiming FAT HORSE.

Speaking of emblems, Mine is just a lightning bolt (with small butterfly) that says SECURITY RISK. This is important because I rarely invade FOBs (because I suck at it) but once I saw that my victim of the day also boasted a scorpion SECURITY RISK emblem, I decided to just dive off the base.

There are preset words for pretty much everything Metal Gear universe related as well as the entire NATO alphabet, including generic stuff like letters and numbers. You're allowed two "words" which you can make anything from any list; you can't just type in whatever you want.

Most are unlocked by completing certain story missions, side-ops, or just completing any main mission with an emblem grade (based on your playstyle) to get the respective word.

The arm and chopper are now gold. My favorite thing about this game is the puppy. It's a crime that you can't pet the puppy. I've even had soldiers on my base salute big boss and exclaim "Hey, Boss! Thanks for saving that cute little puppy!"

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
In Destiny: The Taken King, I really like how the various factions are distinctly different and will engage in fire-fights between themselves on the different planets. I like the design of the enemies (expect for the fact that the Fallen have four arms and don't do anything special with two of them. Why do people keep making races with four arms and not thinking about ways those races would use the extra limbs??) and the new Taken enemies are basically a group of corrupted soldiers from all four other races with unique spins on all the enemies' abilities. Another thing I like is how they'll stop shooting at each other (for the most part) and focus on you when you wade into their battle, I'm assuming because they recognize how much more powerful and competent you as a Guardian are at killing them than they are at killing you or each other. Be afraid, xeno-scum. Be very afraid.

I thought so too, but it doesn't look like it. I couldn't find concept art of a stealth vandal (so stealthy) but a lot of pictures look like they just have two swords, held with different grips. The captain was easier to find:



All those extra hands do is clench. Put some pistols in them, or some knifes, or give them swords with longer hilts that can take advantage of two hands for extra leverage. There's a cutscene that shows two Fallen holding spears, but I think four-armed races have a lot of potential for cool ideas and it's a waste to treat them as purely decorative.

Good thing about Destiny: Certain quests have the Hunter-trainer Cayde-6 doing a lot of voice work, and he's voiced by Nathan Fillian. He's pretty much doing a straight Capt. Mal impression so if you squint it's almost like you're playing a Firefly game.

And going off of that, with the new Titan class getting flaming hammers as a sub-class ability, I would have really enjoyed Cayde-6 saying something along the lines of "Oh, you should see my hammer. The hammer is my... well, you know."

Well the Fallen punishment for failure is to have the two lower arms chopped off, hence the Dregs having two, so I guess they've learned not to get too used to them.

So my commute leads through a freight station full of shipping containers. Today I started feeling vaguely uneasy looking at them, until I realized what I felt was the urge to fulton them all away. This isn't going to end well. Last time it was GTA3 and I couldn't walk past a parked sports car for months without at least feeling a little twinge telling me to jump in and make a run for it.
