Dan go hard on the booster pack. You still got some neat-o poo poo to get like the Metal Gear REX card :getin:

also get rid of some of your armor cards. You're better off dodging if you gently caress up, unless you're heading into a boss fight.

I did some deck optimization between episodes 5 and 6, since 6 is a new session. Passwords were involved, that's all I'll say.

So I noticed your audio was missing, Dan, but... I was sort of listening on the way to work, so I completely forgot after your audio kicked in. (thanks for making my commute good.)

I'm appreciating this, because the one time I tried playing MGA I got bored before the end of the Teliko segment at the very front of the game.

Let's Play Metal Gear Acid Episode 5 - Hans Davis

As much as I like this game, it gets extremely rude with the whole "okay we stopped your movement halfway so you could have a cutscene, hope you pocketed a second move card!"

Fun fact: when we record I keep my window closed because I live in a trailer park, so everyone's packed in tight and I don't want to bug people during yellin' time. The computer equipment tends to heat the room up real quick since it's fairly small, so I slap in the window fan between episodes. Episode 4 and 5 were recorded as one video and I split them during editing. :saddowns: It was very hot.

So I think the real summary of this so far is "Snake's portable adventures are loving insane," considering there's Ghost Babel, Ac!d 1 and 2, Portable Ops, Peace Walker and Metal Gear Mobile. Speaking of which, I think we all know what we have to do to make this thread as great as possible: we need to send Dan an N-Gage or other compatible phone, Metal Gear Mobile, and a means to record the footage as Christmas presents.

Ooooh, I'm getting flashbacks to every aging 360 controller I've ever had. Where the left stick develops a tendency to go "Hey, let's go slightly to the left when you are trying to make precise movements!" in games with less than notable deadzone programming.

Always the left stick, always slight dead zone issues to the left. Note to self get back to Replaying Cave Story + with my still relatively fresh controller.

I was surprised considering our Green Party nearly closed up shop in my province because no one really cared a whole lot for them. It doesn't help that their leader is really christian, anti-abortion, and while she hasn't said anything about gay folk, we're all a little nervous since it's hard not to extrapolate from there.

Also I find it hilarious that you got red texted for that considering we expressed pretty much the exact same viewpoint :v: In a perfect world of course all parties would have a chance, but as 2016 has proven we are far from living in a perfect world.

100 Foot Robot Golf S01E01- Dan vs Grace! Yes! Let's Rule The World!

This is easily one of my favourite games of 2016, enough that I used it's own banner instead of the usual side ops one. It's on PSN and if you don't own it yet, Grace and I are very disappointed in you :colbert:

We find Doctor Flemming! And he talks forever.

Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice are both digital-only outside of Japan. The Layton crossover got a physical release, but probably only due to Level 5's involvement with that.

The supposed reason AAI2 never got an official localization is that the dev team split up right after finishing up the Japanese version of AAI2, so they couldn't do any dev work for an English version. It's a rather flimsy reason if you ask me, but whatever, we got a solid fan-translation now.

Also pro tip for Grace: When you boot a DS game on the 3DS, you can hold Start or Select to make the game display in the original DS resolution instead of having it scale up to the 3DS resolution. Makes the image smaller, but much crisper.

Watch in this episode as Grace goes from sober to blackout drunk over the course of one glass of Baileys. Also Teliko has a terrible time here.

Snake is looking good in Acid and the music sounds good too. That said 10 episodes in and I still have no clue what any of the numbers on the screen mean. Some of the things in the game really bug me. Like having to stop on an item to collect it, although that doesn't apply to spinning guns? Why do you have to end the mission to put hats in your inventory when in a previous one you could pick up a gun and use it? Oh and just to confirm: you're getting D and C ranks since they stand for Dan and Chris, right? It's a branding thing?


Substance is back and wackier than ever? Yes!!

Hilariously there is an argument to be made that some of the Snake Tales are canon to alternate timeline stuff, mostly because of Dr. Kappelthorne.
