I think the reason Rogue Warrior's violence seems more violent than MGR's violence is because Rogue Warrior is trying to pretend to take itself seriously wheras MGR never tried to be anything other than 'NINJA CYBORG JUMP CHOPS PEOPLE WHOA SO COOL EXPLOSION!' and thus you don't take MGR's violence seriously.

He was in the unit that MGS2's Dead Cell was (very loosely) based off of. So I guess Rouge Warrior is MGS canon.

I would pay good money to hear the codec call where Raiden and Boris talk about the Great North Korean Knifing Spree that the Patriots had covered up for some reason.

I read the book Rogue Warrior when I was in elementary school, so my memory of it is pretty hazy, but there are large portions of it that are pretty much what General Ironicus is describing. With more chapters where Dick talks about how the military is full of loving pussies now. The part that stuck with me is him saying that with all of the technology now being a soldier is like being in a video game. It's basically the most angry grampa book ever written.

He also had a tendency to torture his own teammates and at some point kidnapped their own family members to train them, if I remember correctly. And yes, the only publication I saw trying to spin this as a good thing was Cracked, which should tell you a lot about the kind of people they hire to write poo poo for there.

Look, did you ever have a job where they called you up and were like "hey, do you want to come in and pick up an extra shift?" And it was your day off so you didn't really want to go in to work but you were also short on money or maybe trying to save up for something so you said sure, and so you went and worked but at the same time you couldn't help but give off "I'd rather be somewhere else right now" vibes?

That's what this is. Every time Mickey Roarke calls someone a cockbreath commie motherfucker you can tell that his heart really isn't in his profanity-laden invective or in trying to grasp the nuanced motivations of Dick Mariachinko (stab everyone in North Korea), he's just thinking about what he's going to do with the money he's getting paid. Maybe he'll get Chipotle after work. A burrito would be nice. Or maybe he'll order a pizza instead.

Actually I think it's Dick Marcinko who's the one doing overtime. Mickey Rourke is just doing his best to capture this in his performance.

Dick is sick and loving tired of getting loving dumped into loving shitholes and having to loving knife koreans in the loving neck. It was fun the first thousand times but it got old a few war crimes ago.

I'm slowly re-watching the LP while I wait for the DLC videos to come out and god drat, Ironicus' "HOOHOOHOOHOOOOOOHHH WAAA HAHAHAHA :syoon:" moments really make it something special to behold. Particularly in 10-1 where he spontaneously bursts into covering Sonic Adventure music in excitement.

All the blurriness and Rourke's half-assed swearing makes sense if you imagine that when you play the game you're not playing Dick Marcinko, you're playing hungover Mickey Rourke playing a Dick Marcinko game, like the beginning of Duke Nukem Forever, or a youtube Let's Play.

By the way, even though the first video in the Dick Maraschino saga was posted in December 2012 and I'm sure both Chip and Ironicus have had ample time to find the answer out for themselves, Mickey Roarke doesn't have an Oscar but he has been nominated for one. He also has a Golden Globe, a BAFTA, and a bunch of other stuff. Also he was a professional boxer for a while which is how he acquired his present-day facial features.

Yeah, he's kind of a noted lunatic. What's hilarious is that MGS2 dialed BACK Dead Cell's antics, because they felt the stuff the real Red Cell got up to was too ludicrously horrible to seem plausible. Reading this dude's autobiography is kind of like an Aristocrats joke that never stops.

And, like Al Capone before him, Dick was arrested not for being anathema to all reasonable society but because he defrauded the government when buying hand grenades. He claims that this too was part of Red Cell's attempt to reveal security weaknesses.

EDIT: He also named Seal Team Six in an attempt to 1 2 4 cow other nations.

Yeah, the idea was that we had Seal Team 1 and Seal Team 2, and then after the Iran Hostage Crisis they basically let Marcinko hand-craft a specific Counter-Terrorism force. Marcinko named it Seal Team 6 so the Soviet Union would waste time trying to dig up info on what Seal Teams 3, 4, and 5 are doing.
