also idk if you guys can handle more truth so soon but Quiet is obviously a vampire

This would make her Vamp's mom. It's pretty clear they would retcon Vamp's story of surviving off the blood of his family as also being saved by parasites.

Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

Someone pointed out how appropriate of a song Garbage - Not Your Kind of People was for the trailers. Well I've been on an 80s music kick and how in the ever-living gently caress is Mr Roboto not a collectible tape in this game? The plot of this game comes from the lyrics of those two songs. Come on Kojima-san, release the DLC

Mr Roboto is the plot of SOMA actually

If I had to pick one extra song to put in the game, it'd probably be like, Games Without Frontiers or something.

Oh.
My.
God.

I just got that. Like, when I looked up who sang "Here's to You" I was like, oh hey, she's who sing's "Diamonds and Rust", I like that song. Because I heard it in way back in GZ, I wasn't still thinking about it when they introduced metallic archaea that turns everything to rust.

I'm gonna go listen to it now.

And also the Judas Priest cover, because we all know how much Kojima and Big Boss both like leather.

edit:
OH MY GOD.

no, the version to listen to is by Stormtroopers of Death, or S.O.D. off of their 1985 album Speak English or Die

Haha which is 6 seconds long.

Sufficiently kickass.
I'd forgotten how delightful it is to find little Easter eggs in these games that you had no idea of beforehand, mostly because I'd learned of them at some point or another before experiencing them. And then, without having any idea that it was a thing that could occur (somewhat surprisingly, since a post-egg Google makes it seem pretty well-known), after a few minutes of downtime during [EXTREME] Cloaked in Silence, I got to interrupt Quiet's rainbow jig with a high-powered tranq to the face. It was refreshing to encounter it with no expectation.

That said, something about it feels almost like a sly way of acknowledging that the character is dumb as gently caress. I mean, I know this is a series with a penchant for the goofy, especially with the Easter Eggs, but it's hard for me not to get that notion even if I know better.

Ok, I never seen Peace Walker trailers but I stopped and laughed at the "Legendary 'Missing Link' of the series" part, right after remembering how TPP was advertised.

I'm bummed there's never gonna be a game where you play Venom Snake, building up Outer Heaven and recruiting a gang of boomerang throwing, shoot gunning misfits to defend your fortress, making sure to keep all the narcoleptic guys on the outskirts . Being able to fight Solid Snake in some epic duel would have been fun.

Chico is Quiet is so dumb. She's doesn't speak because English will kill people and no one but code talker speaks Navajo. Why would a kid named Chico from Costa Rica only speak English and Navajo?

These are thoughts I had watching that dumb video. I turned it off 3 minutes in after I realized it was published in 2014.

There is some very sensual touching going on in the cutscene there. i don't actually think it means anything sexual but it's cool how it contrasts with modern ideas of what bad ass stuff should be like. It even seems authentic to some kind of chivalric masculine touching from a tyme longe gone

So, was there an actual good reason why Quiet didn't just write in English? Was it because she hated everyone but Snake on Mother Base? Apologies if this was actually explained, it's been a while since I beat the story.

I seem to remember them saying that even thinking of a certain language caused physical palpitations or whatever that could still stimulate the parasites or whatever. Does that make sense?

I would think it's because she was still thinking about killing Big Boss and thus didn't want to show her hand. Better to act entirely mute for no apparent reason than to tell them you have parasites.

Also, if she wrote in English that's grounds for Miller to interrogate her even more. Not communicating through words at all was her best course of action.
