Metal Gear is ridiculous crazy drama with each successive title trying to out do the last. Because of it's total madness there's no way to predict what will happen next, it's like an erratic military soap opera anime with a few hits of speed (and mushrooms if Psycho Mantis is around). Does it make sense, is the…

I was going to write out this explanation of what makes Metal Gear so great but instead I think this clip from Futurama sums it up pretty well.

Most people picked it up with Solid, that really defined what the series would become.

I thought this was old news? Isn't this the whole reason Microsoft called it the Xbox One, ya know because it will be the first one to let loose in a completely new market?

Why are there two Marios...I'm scared.

It's true but touch screen and motion controls pale in comparison to the 2d to 3d jump.

Yeah, don't get me wrong this is cool and all and if you dig it then totally do it. For me though it's just not enough to warrant playing a game again that I have nearly memorized at this point.

I think Yoshida has a valid reason. I mean really Square is the company that's going to be maintaining those servers and if their plan is to set up a universal server system it shouldn't be their problem if Microsoft ops out of being a part of that.

Oh and then the ghosts…

Oh man, we're one step closer to Final Fantasy and Star Wars being the same thing. As though they already aren't.

That's a fair statement.

This is like a headline from an episode of Family Guy.

I love him so much.

Who doesn't love a smug raccoon.

Eva is mostly just tweeny drama, I mean really I could've done without that.

"You'll want to make sure you bang every rock you come across with a shovel, because there's a daily money-spawning rock" If only I could just do this at home.

Optimus Primal, you get a star.

How much do you know about Sand Shrew?

I can't believe it wasn't already done.
