MGS2 was probably the most prophetic and relevant Metal Gear game and I will always love it for that despite the fact that snake eater is the best.

I played MGS around the time the president man was talking about how lame the START Theory was and it was like "playing his video game makes me more qualified than the president to discuss this thing" and that was a very weird feeling

as a person who's only played revengeance, ground zeroes, and v, because they are the only metal gear games that are readily available on pc, mgs2 seems like the most interesting metal gear game to me

What is "START theory"?

Edit: ^ 2 is amazing, but it's more amazing if you've played 1. That's why I was lamenting how inconvenient it is to play 1 nowadays.

That's not a theory.

I know it to be true. This method of knowing something is called 'Direct Knowledge", which is what Buddhism calls "I know it directly from my internal experience and not from any external source".

Edit: I assume they are talking about the START Treaties, which are on nuclear disarmament

It is a treaty between Russia and the USA regarding nuclear disarmament and Hideo Kojima finds this so important a thing that there is a character in MGS1 who lectures you about it the whole game. I played this around the time it was a news item that the president just learned it existed and hated it. It has nothing to do with why Metal Gear Solid is one of the greatest games ever made but it was definitely distracting at the time

The lesson is play video games and ignore politics even if the game is basically about politics

i'm gonna be at a surprise party/BBQ for my brother tomorrow but then my actual 4th of july will be spent watching speedruns and playing BOTW

actually the whole speedrun marathon means i wont be recording games so i'll be doing the following next week:

- playing the demos I downloaded on my 3DS and PS4
- playing BOTW sidequests
- trying out Mother Russia Bleeds, My Time at Portia, The 39 Steps
- doing actual work while trying not to stare at the speedruns simultaneously
- maybe finish watching Tanaka-kun is Listless

The only reason i haven't gotten to MGS 2 yet is because I bought VR Missions because 1 is just ... a perfect game. It is Resident Evil 4 levels of perfect game.

VR Missions is not a perfect game but I need to destroy it.

Here's an example I just made of how the game's physics are screwed up:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGB0wfUHv0I

In the original you've got more than enough leeway to clear these boxes but this same jump is so precise in the HD version that your foot has to actually be touching the nitro crates to get over them all. The slower movement speed really sucks.

For whatever reason me and my brother really attached to that trailer, way before the game came out. Years later and I still occasionally blurt out "♪whistle!♪ I like dat!" or a nonsensical "You want me to thank you!?"

Anyway, enjoy July everyone!

I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.


An LP group I liked played ARMS recently and 100% of the youtube comments are about which character people want to gently caress and how excited they are that hentai artists will be drawing them.

Lurdiak is sad.

You cheated not only the game, but yourself.
But most of all, you cheated BABA

I silently killed the final Elusive Target in Hitman :woop:

Feels good to have mastery over the level enough to make downing the guy easy, and it's even better to do it without a rubber duck for once.

(I still feel strongly that ETs should be cycled back in so other people can play them, and that Hitman needs another five seasons, please please please.)
