what is the opinion on telling people about 72-hour exclusive videos on vessel? I'm assuming they'd want people to talk about them because it's make them wanna get a subscription (like me caving the second I heard about until dawn's final episode). I don't wanna be a dick if they're supposed to be "secret" content lol but that seems kinda dumb.

Matt posted about Vessel here a while back. This is probably the most relevant part:

Also guys, I post in here fairly regularly I guess, and you are directly asking me, so I felt compelled to reply. And while this is not top secret hush hush information, I'd appreciate it if you could keep it to yourselves for now, we'll be making a formal video or at least a text announcement in the coming weeks so everyone gets the low down.

Hey, I heard you guys were talking about Undertale earlier.

Undertale is GOTY 2015. Also, mostly a very good LP game, as long as whoever plays it plays it blind and remembers to always have DETERMINATION, no matter what happens.

and also record desktop, not game window

True, it's a fine line. I guess I wasn't talking so much about actual video discussion, but moreso just "a new shitstorm is up should I pretend this doesn't exist or can I say there's a shitstorm up".

The Big Boss stinger in MGS4 is really great because it could be summed up in 20 minutes less by just having Big Boss show up, say "whoops", and then die after killing Zero and then shrugging comically.

I know it's super pretentious and elitist, and I'm going to be crucified for saying it, but IMO MGS2's ending is peak "If you didn't like it, you probably didn't understand it."

Once you dig through the word salad it's not difficult to understand. Kojima made it difficult because he didn't (arguably still doesn't) understand the concept of brevity. I like the ending in theory but in practice it's unintelligible garbage spouted at you for half an hour by a robot on a 95% static screen.

Same with MGS4's Big Boss ending, it's neat in concept and I don't have an issue with him being alive again but everything he says is just a load of circuitous bullshit exposition and there's nothing gained from all this stuff being said by Big Boss except to have a couple dramatic shots of him saluting in front of the tombstone (complete with mash X flashbacks because hey guys remember that scene? remember???) and hugging Snake for the sake of "closure" or whatever.

I think a lot of people don't realize (thanks, anti-union laws) that the SAG people are putting some outrageous demands because then they could pull them off the table at negotiations. That's how most lockout/strikes get ironed out.

SAG: We want a golden monkey that will carry all our stuff and you are personally paying for all of them.
Companies: How about we just give you the transparency clause?
SAG: Deal.

I wouldn't want to see a Boss game either. The Boss was a great character in MGS3 and pointless explanation of her backstory wouldn't improve it at all. It would more likely just make the character retroactively worse.

Because the Big Boss that created Outer Heaven...wasn't Big Boss. Coming back from the dead twice is 200% more impressive than doing it once.

Peace Walker did this, and it really makes you lose a lot of respect for her. Turns out Operation Snake Eater wasn't a one-time thing, she was constantly eating poo poo on behalf of the government and then shrugging and going "but I'm a true patriot, they like me actually" as they humiliate her yet again.
