Hurry Up, We're Dreaming

What would Chapo Trap House be called/be like if it was in the Metal Gear universe?
It'd be a bunch of codec channels.

Felix would provide advice about enemy posters (which is the MGS6 name for the enemy forces, in the dark future when all soldiers have twitter wired to their robot implants)
Amber would provide advice about marxism.
Will would save your game.
Virgil would give you statistics on your gameplay, with special reactions if called in an elevator or near a train or train tracks.
Matt would just call you on the codec broadcasting incoherent rage about the game, life, everyone around you, etc. He'd be like an angry Fission Mailed.
Brendan would start off providing bonus equipment or healing or whatever when you call him, but would later do some kind of face heel turn where he was a devious villain the entire time.
The actual radio show on the codec would be Brett and Bryan, who would be on the airplane that catches balloon abductees. They'd be talking about how much it sucks trying to get an abducted bear into a cage, or what it's like to fly a plane while krated. Occasionally they'd be napping on the job. Listening long enough gets you an ugly yellow shirt camo.

Matt screams at you about the big bad bosses' ultimate goals to create Mad Max world with all of their brains in Metal Gears. Amber reminds you to talk to all the NPCs you meet.

Idk. The themes and subjects of PMCs, arms proliferation, sovereignty, and imperialist actions are pretty relevant. And I’ve only played MGS1! I think they get into control of information and whatnot in the later entries.

There's the famous monologue from Metal Gear Solid 2, which came out in 2001

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKl6WjfDqYA

And MGS4 was entirely about a system of endless low-level war that had become the center of the world economy. A system that had been started by people but had grown and evolved to simply be the controlling system of the world, self-perpetuating without input from humans

See, on that No Cartridge Allowed episode, Felix ranted about how MGS predicted Trump. I would've thought replacing world leaders with robots would predict the inevitability of Hillary, if anything.

Thanks for posting this so I didn't have to. All Kojima bullshit aside, someparts of his theme are just chilling in how quickly and powerful they became actual things.

have felix played MGR or is he like Dan Ryckert and pretends that the series is about extremely not anime cool guy operators

Kunster

He hasn't played it, but it's more from a huge change in game play than some weird sense of canon. (Ask him about the MSX original titles and you'll get a blank stare) Personally I'd like to see him stumble upon Snatcher and Policenauts. He clearly is aware of both from being pals with Immolations.

I don't think he would have significant ideological issues with a game where the main villains are people selling children's body parts at the behest of an insane Randian Senator

Does Overwatch let you fanfic ship your characters for a synergy bonus? I refuse to believe that the answer is no.

The Senator is maybe the best villain in anything ever, and I'm honestly kinda shocked that Felix hasn't played MGR.
