I choose to believe Kojima had Liquid think that genes are just a good/bad switch because it's easier to explain to the player that way. I mean, could you imagine if there was a second 20 minute stock footage filled cutscene in the span of like an hour and a half of gameplay? That won't happen until at LEAST MGS4!

(Also, Dan, I stole your drinking game for my own LP's bonus feature, I'm sorry but it was for the best worst)

She's doing that voice that you see people do in TV or movies where they are an American character, but they are doing this posh English accent that makes them sound either smarter or more refined depending on the genre of the show. I don't remember if Naomi actually is English or not. Usually it's reserved for characters who are jerks or knowledgeable mentor type people. And sometimes, uh, the bad guy. I'm pretty sure the accent is gone in Twin Snakes.

Considering Deep Throat was named such deliberately after the hugely popular porno out at the time (seriously, Deep Throat is probably the most successful porn of all time, doing better money than most Hollywood films that year) I think it's okay to giggle at it, because at the end of the day it's a pun (DEEP cover) based on blowjobs.

Also, Deep Throat is a weird movie. Not as out there as other mainstream at the time porn like Devil in Miss Jones or anything, but a movie about a woman born mutated so she has a clit in her throat is pretty weird still. Also it feels scummy to even think about its popularity because years later the star, Linda Lovelace, claims she was forced to do the film (sometimes at gunpoint!) by her husband who got all her money, and considers the film to be her getting raped multiple times.

All this time I thought its first use was in the watergate scandal :stonk:

I've always just figured that the reason they simplified it to dominant = good recessive = bad is because it's easier to explain as a plot convenience than the actual explanation of how dominant/recessive genes work. Most adults learned in middle school how they really work but it'd take TWO half hour cutscenes to explain it that way instead of just saying "we are opposites BUT WE'RE CUT FROM THE SAME CLOTH, YOU AND I" with one half hour cutscene.

I love this game and all, but wow this journey has made me realize just how horribly MGS1's controls have aged.. :shepface: Almost everything is unlocked now, and the last mode will unlock shortly into the first episode of our next recording. I've also gotten first place on every sneaking mode time trial. I considered not showing Grace what that unlocks, but I can't deprive the world of that :v:

A surprising amount of the crazy robot poo poo in the earlier metal gear games actually existed at one point, probably most famously those dumbass flying hovercraft thingamajigs in MGS3. I didn't know that the cyphers really existed but frankly I'm not surprised.

What's funny is that if they could legitimately mass produce a usable version of RAY it would legitimately be better than REX or Arsenal. Why bother having one invincible weapon when you could just have a swarm of really good ones? As far as I know most modern military tactics rely on having more numbers than the other guy.

As the future of the MGS universe shows, that wouldn't really work out too well considering soon there will be super-cyborgs who can cut through them like butter. I find that very interesting, actually- that the MGS world, in its later years, turned the focus from improving on technology controlled by humans to improving the human beings themselves -but we'll get to that when we get to it I guess. Provided Dan doesn't fuckin' kill himself via alcohol poisoning during MGS3 or something.

There's an even more super animal in The Fear's arena: The Tsuchinoko. It's a Japanese cryptid that's a snakke with a human looking face that's fat andd flat. It also doesn't show up on radar. The easiest way to catch it is to kill everything alive in the Fear zone, then set your mousetraps and wait. If it's still in your inventory when you beat the game you get the stealth unit (Dan remembered wrong--hitting all the frogs gives you the infinite bandanna). If he's in your inventory when like, it all gets removed partway through the game you can catch him again near the waterfall cave iirc.

I want to say Zero loses his poo poo if you catch it and call Para-Medic. If you eat it I believe it's like a super food, full stamina and healing, but everyone gets pissed at you. Speaking of calls, calling Sigint after talking to Granin he goes off on how how retarded a walking tank is, which is pretty funny considering. Sigint might be the best part of the whole game. I also like his conversation with snake about the naked camo, where he thinks everybody on the team have lost their drat minds, and snake asks to take is pants off too.

Zero's panicked "Under no circumstances are you to eat it! Is that clear? :byodood:" is fantastic. He knows. He knows drat well Snake is curious. :allears:

Let's Play Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker Episode 1 - Limes and Coconuts

Peace Walker! Due to technical issues forcing us to start over, and another project we were working on, both of us are a bit drunker than we normally are when we start out.

This episode is almost entirely cutscenes and single player, but we got it all out of the way at once, meaning Episode 2 is when Grace joins in! :v:

Peace Walker is also the video game that has Miller and Big Boss play-fight naked in the sauna and then take their naked-play-wrestling out onto the deck as described in great detail by Paz, so don't worry, the weird sexual overtones go every which way as is Kojima's MO by now.

Unfortunately this extremely awkward and incredible firsthand version of the events is only in the japanese extra disc (it was an audio drama of the game on CD) and was not localized for the english game. I was going to wait to mention this amazing horseshit until way later in the LP but I got antsy and I don't think Dan n' Grace are going to listen to the relevant tapes so oh well here goes!

We'll be listening to tapes, but since we were already decently drunk before starting the first episode due to complications, I figured we'd better wait until we're sober(ish) to start the tape stuff.
