Just listened to this one by chance, it's episode 68. I love the idea that Clara Jeffery just doesn't know what a photograph is.

speaking of photographs when did they talk about that hilarious 'she stopped them cold' tweet where some white feminist was treating a black lady as a magic super hero? I think it was the start of 'liberals don't understand how photographs work!' as a joke.

Honestly they all hold up pretty well, but I think MGS3 is when they ironed out the kinks in the gameplay.

MGSV is probably the best overall, but the story will make even less sense without playing the previous (it never made sense to begin with)

MGS1 doesn't hold up so well, but 2 onwards are fine imo (get the HD versions if you can)

Of you have a ps3 the metal gear solid HD collection is a good place to start. It has 2+3 and a code for a psn download of 1. The games get more standard controls as time goes on, I think 3 is still the best balancing gameplay and Hideo Kojima going ham on some spy intrigue. The 60s setting is very fun, too.

MGS1 and 2 are great. I just played them for the first time a year or two ago. I had to do something weird to play them on the PS Vita, but that ended up being cool + good. MGS3 is kinda mediocre and I didnt bother to finish it.

you should go back to MGS3 one day, I had the same reaction to it when it was new, but I kept coming back and I feel it's probably the best game in the series now, it's just so involved mechanically and a much more difficult game than the other 2, it REALLY takes a long time to get a feel fr the mechanics

I'm pretty sure there's a codec conversation about how he's called deepthroat as a reference to that. Because his character is leaking information.

Like, it's obvious, and a perfectly normal naming choice to get across the idea of the character as a person who is both fulfilling a similar role as the historical deep throat, but also hints at the idea that the person behind deepthroat is playing a character. But I'm pretty sure the game also literally spells it out for you textually.

The bombers opened their bomb bay doors, exerted a miraculous magnetism which shrunk the fires, gathered them into cylindrical steel containers, and lifted the containers into the bellies of the planes.
I played MGS4 first. Had a bunch of fun, but had literally no loving clue what was going on. Now I'm playing through 5, and I'm enjoying it more and finding it more easy to follow.
