You can play it tactically, and it does help, but it's not methodical like Battlefield, and you can't always rely on your team mates to be there for you like you often can in say Team Fortress 2. I found pretty solid success working like a hyena. I would avoid stand up one on one fights and instead find matches where…

Ahh you never know! Again FREE, and you can always lower the settings.

You might enjoy playing it (free to play doesn't mean it sucks). The game is one of the faster FPS experiences I've had with an incredible amount of skill give to split second dodges, precision aim, smart use of tactical items, and knowing when to stick a fight out and when to cut out to repair. I don't play it too…

My guess would be cold and spongy, kind of like work out pads in a gym.

This guy isn't alone. There's a whole subset of future aug/prosthetic designers that are creatively minded. Check out Aaron Beck's work, a lot of it is in the same vein:

Those elements that may or may not be lies, the half truths and the conspiracies that run deep are part of what make these games. I was kind of sad when they just straight up outlined the whole of the Patriots.

By the time we reach the end of MGS4? Yeah, sure, Big Boss totally respects Solid Snake. Before that though, when he just finds out about the existence of his copies? That's another story we haven't seen yet.

Very true, I was only able to appreciate it in retrospect thanks to Tim Roger's article "Dreaming of an Empty Room". Four was also a bit rough in plot department too. It seems like every other MGS game is amazing. Maybe V will be too, though I would doubt it could top 3 as the series high water mark. There are a lot…

We are both in agreement on that point. I'm really looking forward to this next game. Anyone can say whatever they'd like about the series, but one thing that's irrefutable is that it has improved in every iteration, from the inclusion of CQC to first person leaning to a non fixed camera. This next game should be…

Based on further research it looks like the tale of Big Boss declaring himself Snake's father is something that was added to the cannon in Metal Gear Solid 1. Snake himself tells Naomi Campbell that Big Boss told Snake he was his father shortly before Snake killed him. This whole plot thread didn't exist before that.

He's not actually their father, we really don't have a word for an individual who is the genetic source of a clone at the moment. Maybe the best language we have for it would be 'progenitor', but even with that Big Boss is no form of parent, nor is he required to look upon those who were made from his cells as his…

Woah, I haven't heard notes like this since the Tekken 3 soundtrack back in the day.

Do you do parties?

If the house is saturated with anything other than two guys and a cat within the next year I will message you LONG before next hallow-fucking-ween!

You have calmed me. I am becalmed.

I'm just about to move into an older home with a ton of "Personality" and a creepy as fuck basement with a shit ton of crawl space panels in its walls with numerous locks on them.

AHMAHGAHD, my sides!

Huge thanks for making this informative and clarifying post. I'm learning a lot from the whole thread!

Once again, informative!

This post has been super informative. Thanks for making it!
