In this, you and I can agree wholeheartedly.

My issue is less with the fact that the switch was made (though it bothers me, VA switches are made all the time) than with the incredibly unprofessional and disrespectful way that Kojima handled the switch.

I am, as I said, a huge Kojima fan—but homeboy allowed his Hollywood…

MGS 4 had the same VA for Solid Snake, and a different actor for Naked as Naked’s age was exceptionally advanced at the time.

There was no reason to replace Hayter with Sutherland in Ground Zeroes, as Naked’s age would not have advanced sufficiently between MGS 3/Peace Walker and the prologue to MGS V.

Kojima did that…

I was initially incensed at the treatment Hayter received for MGS V, but given the way the plot works out, the change made sense.

...that said, Sutherland was more or less absent from the role anyway, so I’m not sure why Kojima felt a need to make the replacement as he did, apart from his star-humping proclivities (and…

“So what is it you want to get out of this?” says Pate. “I just wanted to find out because it seems like, you are angry and instead of going back and forth, as two women, we could have a conversation if you don’t mind.”

She was pulling the tired old “I’m sorry YOU feel this way, let me explain what was happening”. Not “I’m sorry I was a giant piece of dogshit”.

I think that’s the address. Two Porsche Drive. Though there’s some kind of Porsche driving course/complex in ATL I think? And maybe it’s in that zone? 

GTFO with this shit.

To paraphrase Pate: “It seemed like the couch was empty, and there was nowhere else to sit.”

Racist.

“I just wanted to tell you where I was coming from, and then I wanted to see where you were coming from...”

Bottom line, Black Atlanta...Will y’all still go to the Overdrive Lounge at the Solis Two Porsche Drive Hotel (I got winded saying that long ass name shit) and sit on them fart encrusted couches just to say you classy like that? Huh?

I don’t understand the relationship of the hotel/lounge and Porsche. Is there some branding synergy or something?
