Wait just a second, where is it implied that Commander Dolph is gay? Must be a codec that I haven't heard because I never picked up on that one.

Scott Dolph and Vamp had a fling.

That's not a joke, it's actually canon.

Funnily enough this same codec outright says that Dolph is Fortune's father, no subtext required. :v:

It isn't implied it is straight-up stated. Vamp was Dolph's lover.

Sorry, I think I'm mixing up tanker with plant and placing Vamp/Fortune earlier in the story than they actually appear. It's still got that small world thing going on, like Fortune and Vamp are maybe lovers oh and also Vamp was lovers with her dad too.

In the Metal Gear universe, if you love a dad a lot you have to want to bang their kid too.

Scott Dolph was also a Konami rep who did translation duties for Kojima.

"Scott, I think I will name a character in my new game after you. He is a marine commander who takes his duty very seriously."
"Thank you Mr Kojima, it's a huge compliment that you would-"
"Also, he hosed a vampire man!"

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.
After the nuclear disarmament stuff and the idea that there's a place in mother base where you've locked down nukes (and Eli literally pulling his MGS1 motivation for Kingdom of Flies.) I was shocked that Mother Base didn't turn out to be the basis of Shadow Moses all a looooooong.

You were kind of right though, since it turns out Outer Haven, the floating fortress with Mount Snakemore, was under Shadow Moses.

Can anyone point out WHERE on Outer Haven this thing was actually located? I was infinitely bothered by seeing it for half a second and then not being able to actually see it anywhere on the ship despite seeing multiple angles of all sides of the ship.

It was an Octocamo projection on the front of the slidey hull bit I think. I'm pretty sure it deactivates and disappears immediately after being shown in the cutscene.

When they stab each other with the nanomachine suppressant (instead of themselves) just so they can continue to fight, it's confirmed in my heart that true love was born on the battlefield that day.

The Blast Arm running punch destroys the radio on C2W and pump tank on Pitch Dark without breaking No Traces. I now have the highest legit score on Pitch Dark PC.

If we can figure out the minigun on 12 and Quiet supply drops on 45, only [SUBSISTENCE] C2W will remain.

They won't ever cross paths. And if you try to manipulate things so that a normal guard encounters puppets, the normal guards will stay unconscious and cannot be woken by any means.

Getting spotted by puppets does not break No Traces, pretty sure.

The Blast Arm's running punch does a high amount of explosive damage. I recorded using it to get No Traces on C2W, and prenatual uses it and vehicle ramming to get No Traces on Metallic Archaea. Against normal guards it's lethal damage. Every other arm deals non-lethal damage and stuns the enemy. A side-effect of this is that the arm's dash punch appears to deal explosive damage as well, allowing it to damage equipment. I haven't fully tested it but it appears to be capable of destroying lights and other fixtures, so it can probably destroy electrical generators and the like without violating No Traces.

You do still end up taking one hit from punching the oily water separator tank on Pitch Dark, but the No Traces bonus is more than worth it:

Just run out the door right away, and loop around. Puppets cannot alert so their notice markers are irrelevant, only being spotted by a Skull Sniper will break No Traces once you've gotten to Code Talker.
