He got so salty over that ranking too, it was amazing.

So Ghost Babel has VR Missions too? And as per the credits "Link Battle"? I smell a Dan vs. Grace bonus episode!

Good job finishing off Solidus while on fire. A shame that didn't carry over to the ending cutscene, but then the ending is pretty drat absurd on its own.

Does MGS3 also have cutscene demo shenanigans? Because that was a great way to end the episode/game.

I fell in love with a Video Nasty

I like in my head to think that GB is sorta canon, but this guy makes a good point with the Mei Ling contradiction for why it can't exist with MGS1. I think the idea that it also contradicts MG2 is making a lot of assumptions based on the idea that lack of proof equals proof of lack. Especially the part where he argues that Snake shouldn't be stunned that Gander exists...except he forgets that Snake just can't drat handle seeing ANY Metal Gear, and it's become is catchphrase to be stunned by it.

Of course, the Jack name drop in the simulation mode does hint to me about it maybe all being a Raiden training simulation despite what this guy says, because he forgets a few facts just even present in MGS2: 1. Everything adult Raiden knows was taught or planted by the Patriots. 2. The Patriots LIE to him. Constantly. Which makes me think the Galuade uprising and Gander's existence can be canon---as a fake history lesson to indoctrinate Raiden. :tinfoil:

I wish :( MGS3 HD is missing out on demo theatre and Snake VS Monkey, the latter for more obvious reasons.

Secret theater is all gone because it's all pre-rendered cutscene instead of in-engine and I guess Bluepoint either never got the assets to fix it up or didn't consider it important enough.

Alright so here's a quick update on what's going on with MGS3

Virtuous Mission is already done, but for Operation Snake Eater, the drinking conditions will be determined by a vote kind of like what I wanted to do for MGS2, except this time with more forethought.

MGS3 is a bit more complicated, since there's no characters that just constantly scream the game's theme words at you all the time. There's also a lot more gameplay and stretches without cutscenes, so we'll switch it up a bit.

There will be five groups of drinking conditions, when the vote goes up, I'll let you guys know where that session will begin, and from there you guys will pick the drinking conditions for that session. After each session, there'll be a chance to vote for a different ruleset, or the same one if you guys want. The five groups are as follows:







1 drink on alert, 2 drinks on a ration (:v:) and 1 shot on death will always be in effect, regardless of which conditions are up. I'll open up voting once the first MGS3 episode goes up!

There's also the bonus condition we used for Virtuous Mission:



I honestly don't know why I even made that one.

No Free lunch is just drudgery, and if I remember right, eat the same thing enough times he starts to like it.

Plus it's more satisfying to watch someone take a drink because of a fuckup, which capitalist healthcare would cover more :v:

I like No Free Lunch, but I'd vote for From Russia with Love if the drinks involve vodka, like it should. :ussr:

All aboard the hype train for MGS3 with a Crocodile hat and fork. This You gun' be pretty good :ocelot:

I'm going to be an rear end in a top hat and suggest you get the Kerotan Frogs. Dog Tags were your VR training for the real MGS 'Sperg-a-thon. It would kind of break the LP because there's some you have to get during set pieces and it takes you away from the action though. Also, there's 0 indication which ones you missed if you don't get them all at the end of the game. Actually, gently caress frogs. gently caress frogs entirely! :getin:

Oh boy this is gonna be good.

If we vote just right we should be able to ensure Dan will be the optimum level of drunk. Let's see for sections with mostly normal gameplay it should be No Free Lunch will work perfectly, for boss heavy sections Capitalist Health Care should do the trick. From Russia with love and Nuclear Proliferation should do for cutscene times and radio parts which might be tricky to pin down as there are few. Then the final stretch La li lu le lo should make for another President Johnson moment.

And I've thought about this way too much....

You should only drink stuff you scavenge from the field, and since it's Russia it would most likely be some kind of vodka, but pretty much any Russian-made drink would work.

You better believe the death-drink will be vodka, especially after putting up with Jack Daniels for MGS2. Vodka's my secondary jam besides cider. I considered chumping out and just using Polar Ice, but I'll get a Russian vodka just for authenticity :v: The beer will be the same "whatever I find that sounds interesting" stuff.

The worst part is you get an alert the SECOND someone sees you, rather than MGS2 where they have to radio it in. Enjoy, you jerks.

Beer is a Western beverage, comrade! You better do your duty and make sure all drinks are Soviet approved vodka based. After all, the capitalist dogs haven't sent a satellite into space, or have the largest army, so why would you favor them over communist ingenuity? :ussr:

Unless you somehow think that America :barf: is better? And I can't think that any true son of Socialist Canada believes that, COMRADE?
