I like how he says that as if other people he knew did forget it and never felt that way.

"other than taking on Sahelanthropus with a water pistol and some smoke grenades"
Please tell me this is a real thing.

It's a pretty significant bummer. Especially because Quiet was my favorite Buddy. WE HAD SOMETHING SPECIAL!

Yeah, I know. It's almost him making fun of the pee thing. But that has to count for something!

I thought he was saying that people view him differently because he's black, when he's really doing the same thing Brando and Penn, white actors, have done. I thought he was saying race *shouldn't* matter.

No, now that I think about it you're right. Now, there's a lot of experimenting you can do trailing that guy, to be fair. You can tranq him, carry him to his destination, and leave him at the doorstep, thus confusing the shit out of him. The Shadow Moses thing has a lot of stealth, but the fact that it's robots…

I've heard a lot of people saying, "Half of the story is just told in cassette tapes!" While simultaneously decrying the fact that they got rid of the Codec.
This is insane to me. If someone said, "Hey! I just figured out that in Metal Gear Solid 1 you can just have the Codec audio play in the background, so you can…

Psst! Hey, man. I hear you like Sutherland? Me too, man. Me too.
I prefer it. Hayter is…not a good actor. He's just not. I get that most of it is bad writing, but his cartoony portrayal doesn't help anything. Until the 4th game, he botched every emotional beat that Snake was supposed to have. He couldn't deliver a…

It should be turned off as a default setting, considering you're punished for using it.

Oof, the first time I tried to play MGS3 it was the original version. It's borderline unplayable. There's already such low visibility that you're CONSTANTLY having to go into first person mode and look around. I couldn't understand how so many people thought it was the best Metal Gear.
The Subsistence version is…

Oh, I've done it. I've beaten the game on European Extreme (or whatever it's called) and gotten all the camos.
You know what I think it is? Not the bosses, but the damned injury subsystem. Having to treat every injury and change camo constantly was simply not fun in execution, so combined with the fact that I already…

That's sort of what this game feels like; it's just that some of the bases have SO many guards. I wonder how the game would play without tagging, but a MGS1/2-like radar system.

I've heard a lot of hate toward that scene of Skull Face and Snake in the jeep, but I thought it was wonderfully strange.

Having not really played Metal Gear 1 at the time, I was wracking my brain trying to figure out how Snake was this ageless wonder. After he got the eyepatch I figured it out. I definitely think it was supposed to be a twist. It was for me.

I'm not sure that's right (although there were a lot of on-rails action set-pieces, for sure). If I'm recalling this correctly, the first act is in the war zone, the second act is in the jungle, the third act is in the foggy streets of London, and the fourth act is on Shadow Moses, and the last one is on Outer Haven.…

Ah shit, I think I replied to the wrong comment.

I usually do that, or kill him by shooting his O2 tank during that 4 second span when they're wheeling him back into the bunker.
But I did a no-kills, no-alerts run last year and wanted to get all the camos, so I did the fight normal way last time.
Not. Fun.

"Maybe, but you can't prove it. It just isn't in the text, explicitly."
Except for when he kisses Snake at the end of MGS4 during the final boss battle.

So evidently, if you take out three of the skulls at the beginning, only one will come back later. So it's easy to miss her. I only remember the hell that was working my way through that mansion. I must have blacked out after that, because I have no memory of what happened after.
