Why does Dan keep insiting Revengeance isn't canon? I thought Kojima created the story and script.

Hideo Kojima's name in the final product is neither there as designer or writer, and it got handed off to PlatinumGames, so I can see how one would demarcate it.

By the end of the run Dan says "This is more Metal Gear than Metal Gear", though

I think the most involvement Kojima had was signing off on whatever concepts Platinum came up with and editing the release trailer. Platinum, and especially 8-4's localization just did a fantastic job of capturing the Metal Gear spirit.

She needs to join GB using an alias and a gimmick like Dan's fiance or Wilson from Home Improvement, where only hands or feet are in view. Her sense of humor can stand on its own.

I was taking an exploration crew to someplace near the center of the galaxy when my family cat got sick and then died. I haven't been back cause it's a lot of jumps back to home. And it reminds me of sad times.

I like quite a few things on the internet that aren't Giant Bomb. But their viewers skew older than what most other internet things are targeted at so it's no surprise. RLM is also very much in that older demographic, but they're bad.

I love to read opinions that are both arrogant and completely missing the point (or in this case, tone) of the thing they're criticizing. The prequel/Trek reviews were great, and HitB is good. So is GB.

The Star Wars reviews were good, but even they were basically first year film school stuff. Not that they were wrong, but the reason they were as big as they were wasn't the real content of them, it was that they put them together in a long form way that tied it all together, which hadn't been done before. HitB is just loving awful, though.

I literally liked them from the first cut scene, where it's them all just hanging out, getting drunk on a beach, and Marcus drunkenly throws his phone into the ocean. They're charming right out of the gate. I'm actually amazed at how well they handled having an autistic dude as a main character with Josh.

pierce wasn't just bland. he was actively monstrous while everything in the narrative screamed NO REALLY THIS GUY IS A HERO

bland would have been an improvement
