Yeah, if you want good vodka, you should go for Polish or Finnish, those tend to actually have some kind of taste.

Rigged Death Trap posted:Sometimes you just want odorless, colorless, tasteless GET RIGGIDY RIGGIDY WRECKED liquid. In the Good Eats episode on Bloody Mary recipes, Alton Brown revealed that Vodka's quality is just like water--the purer it is, the less flavor and color and quality you get. He advised getting one of those water purifying pitchers, like say Brita makes, and running your low cost vodka through it 3 or 4 times to scrub out the impurities and have much better quality stuff than you paid for.

  Let's Play Metal Gear Solid 3 Episode 1 - STEALTH And we're back! Highlights of this update include me being loving up history that Zero JUST explained, and having to correct myself in post! In my defense it was like 2 AM and I was starting to sober up from Solidus screaming PATRIOTS over and over.  Also vote for the drinking condition here because you guys are terrible at labeling your votes

So dan would you mind terribly if I butted into your thread with THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE AS SEEN BY MGS/KOJIMA MGS3 has one of the silliest uses of Russian I have ever seen. Which really stands out because the rest of the script is relatively plausible, outside of the usual MGS lunacy. Shagohod is probably the biggest standout for me. Firstly, everyone in the loving game butchers its pronunciation. It's supposed to be "Sha (with a hard, short a. Not at all pronounced like the british slang word for loving ) - ga (same sort of a) -hod (short o, hard emphasis on d)"Second, translated literally it means "step-walker" or "walk-marcher". I think they were going for a name which was a reference to the phrase "a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" but ho man did they miss the mark hard. The name honestly sounds like something out of a children's comic book. "Yes Batman! With this Sharkspray you will be hunted by my amphibuous sharks for the rest of your days Nyahahahaha!" that kind of kitziness. Grace posted:What's with Russia and all its silent Ts? Good question Grace! That's because Russia has the letter Ц which English does not quite have an equivalent for. The letter is pronounced "tse" but it sounds differently when used alongside vowels and within exceptional words. When anglicized into the latin alphabet, the best they can do is a "ts-", which results in a sort-of silent t. Seraphic Neoman fucked around with this message at 21:54 on Jan 10, 2016 |

I kinda hope the No Free Meal option doesn't win because then I strongly recommend you go on Operation Fat Snake and eat everything. Also, let me get the plot straight...Because we smuggled Sokolov out of the CCCP and into NATO hands, the Cuban Missile Crisis happened as a hostage situation, wherein the Soviets were willing to reign radioactive death on the planet if they couldn't get their man back. And immediately afterwards the main plan from NATO is "Let's smuggle him out again."  Incidentally, if you're wondering about Para-Medic's "Captain Nemo" comment, Nemo of Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea and Mysterious Island was a Sikh Hindu Science-Pirate. "Nemo" literally means "Nobody" in his native language.

White Coke posted:I have a Canada Question. Why are most of Canada's provinces bilingual but Quebec is officially monolingual? This is mostly from memory so I might have stuff wrong here. The country itself is bilingual, but legally the only bilingual province or territory is New Brunswick, and the rest are English. Provincial Government offices will have English and French services avaliable in most cases. Quebec takes French as a language more seriously, at least legally. I think they're still the only province ever to invoke the Notwithstanding Clause which can actually supercede a Supreme Court Ruling that would determine a law as unconstitutional, regarding a law about language rights in Quebec. I don't think I'm knowledgeable enough to talk about Quebec more then this because politics in Quebec is something I dont know much about, but I'll probably be seeing some interesting stuff with the election coming soon. Edit:Some provinces, are legally monolingual, like Quebec, and some of the praries are just English. Aboriginal languages are also used in the Territories along with English. pichupal fucked around with this message at 04:58 on Oct 1, 2015 |

to separate us from the Americans. No really you take anything that makes a Canadian a Canadian or anything in our "culture" it is more-or-less us going "we are NOT America's hat, we are our own country, dammit" Unless you're Quebecois, that's something completely different

Just for perspective, here's some things I've been told by Americans: -Canada is owned by Britain -Canada is owned by the USA -Canada lost World War 2 -Canada was never in World War 2 -Canada sided with Russia in the cold war (  )-Canada is Alaska, like literally all of Canada is just Alaska, Alaska is bigger than the entire rest of the United States -Canada helped Al-Qaeda do 9/11 (extra salty about this because I'm nova scotian) Thinks I've been told by Brits: -It rains a lot here too Britain doesn't constantly try to downplay Canada's history as far as I know, so there's not much reason to be wary of them. The reason Grace plays the ignorant American joke so often is because he knows it riles me up. In return I act like I'd rather die than visit the states. I'd probably be willing to visit anywhere that gets snow in the winter, don't tell Grace though  also I don't actually dislike the united states, just the jerks, also the health care what's up with thatBack on topic, From Russia With Love is out ahead by quite a bit, we should be recording next Tuesday, so the vote will continue being up until then.

It used to be "Sharashashka", and then it got mutated by word of mouth and accents and stuff into "Shalashaska". Kojima what.

The call him Sharashka because of the secret agenty things he does and Shashka because he's a sword or something else weird. I suppose Shalashashka is a L instead of an R because they didn't want it to be "Engrish" and messed it up even further.

How much New Game + content will we see being used? Will you continue to use the Patriot, or use boss camouflage before it would otherwise be unlocked? I'm not opposed to seeing it used or anything, I just want to know if it will be used often enough to qualify for another drinking condition.

I'm not opposed to seeing it used or anything, I just want to know if it will be used often enough to qualify for another drinking condition. I'll likely be using the boss camo pretty sparingly, aside from a bit to show them off. The patriot will probably get stashed away unless I gently caress up really bad, which will probably trigger a bunch of drinking conditions on it's own The only outfit I foresee myself using early is the sneaking suit just because it's rad as hell.

Well, since you asked, its time for Nuclear facts with Fae  Whether or not Snake could realistically survive the nuclear detonation depends entirely on where he is. Between 1 and 1.25 miles away from where the nuke was detonated, you're not surviving at all. Even if you somehow manage to live through the initial blast, the amount of radiation you'd be exposed to would kill you pretty quickly, and if you managed to survive that then you have firestorms and first degree burns to live through. Since Snake is outside there's even less chance of survival in that radius so odds are pretty slim. It is possible to survive being that close to a nuclear bomb if you are very very lucky though, there's a story of a woman who survived being less than 300m away from the bomb at Hiroshima because she hid in a reinforced concrete building which shielded her from a lot of the effects. Its possible, but unlikely, and our Snake isn't having a good day today. If he's between 1.25-3 miles out though, things are a touch more hopeful. He'd still probably suffer from burns due to the thermal radiation and since he looked at the flash he'd probably be either completely or partially blind and he'd still have to deal with radiation sickness but he'd have to get treatment incredibly quickly. Dealing with burns, eye injuries and the early symptoms of radiation poisoning at the same time wouldn't make getting help easy, especially since most communications would probably be out due to the electromagnetic energy put out by the bomb, so he'd have no way to contact Para-Medic. So to answer the question of whether Snake would survive? No, probably not. RIP One Man Pride Parade (Why do I know this stuff?)
