I have been pumped for this since first hearing about your plan to do it, I am 100% on board with this crazy endeavor. Will you be using any of the alternate costumes for MGS1?

The first time I played this game I got stuck because it never occurred to me that they were talking about the actual game's CD case, which was made even more confusing because Baker gives you an optical disc. It was a while before I could contact Meryl because I was a young kid who didn't understand what the fourth wall was. Also I had no idea this game even had alternate dialogue and scenes depending on whether you grabbed the SOCOM, that was a new one for me.

Let's Play The Metal Gear Solid series: A Discussion of 70s Pornography. On the subject of the LP itself, I honestly wasn't sure how a drinking game would play out, after all who could gently caress up that much in MGS 1? You always manage to make the most remarkable trainwrecks, god bless you Dan!

When Grey Fox gets "wiggy" you can actually shoot him with the SOCOM or the FA-MAS, that way you don't have to wait for his energy field to die down. Also it's just fun to light him up with the FA-MAS after a long fistfight.

Stun grenades are a really good idea that I never thought of. I always just backed myself into a corner and mowed down the attacking wolves with the FA-MAS, not exactly the best showing for the legendary Solid Snake.

I'm usually not one to get mad watching others play video games, but when you left Tower B to go all the way back up to Tower A only to go all the way back down I actually had my head in my hands and I didn't see the video again until you met up with Otacon. I remember, as a young child, thinking it was really neat to have a game where you killed the enemy leader midway through the story, but of course any credit such a move would have given the game was taken away when Liquid turns out to be pretty much immortal.

I absolutely love how, after getting shot by an unseen attacker, Snake doesnt attempt to take cover or even move out of the line of fire, but instead calls someone to complain that he's being shot at. Legendary soldier indeed! Also I've done the Sniper Wolf with the Nikita almost every time I played the game, I did try to sniper duel her once, but that ended badly, and somehow I never saw the parachute either. This game... What...You can blow up the crane???? Why the hell didn't I know about that?

You can also see an item called a "Kuidaore", which apparently is a term that means eating until you die.

In all fairness, at least Grace was kind enough to have the video number in the file name. There is nothing worse than recording multiple episodes at once and then seeing that all your co-commentators decided to make jokes instead of being decent human beings... not that I'm bitter... Also during the Rex fight, it is very easy to get behind Rex by running beneath his legs, and allows a nice big blind spot to work with. As long as a Chaff is active your shouldn't have any issues with the dick laser or getting stomped.

I was a huge MGS fan way back in the day but I could never bring myself to check out VR missions. The VR stuff included in the main game was pretty underwhelming and the thought of an entire game of nothing but that sounded boring as hell. For that reason I never checked out a lot of the stuff in Substance either, only years later did I discover that there was stuff like Snake skateboarding and murder mysteries hiding in that optional content. When will the MGS1 VR missions go batshit insane?

I absolutely love the Tanker Chapter, despite being fairly linear there are so many neat details that never show up again. From small stuff like breaking plates and bottles and the drat ice cubes, to being able to permanently dispose of enemies by throwing them overboard, it ends up playing more like a sandbox. It's essentially a vertical slice demo level. It's a shame that the Plant chapter couldn't follow suit. I remember reading in some gaming magazine that Ray was built to destroy other Metal Gears and, even as a hyped up ~15 year old, I remember thinking that Ray looked really stupid and would never be able to take down a Rex; I choose to believe that the Metal Gear fight sequence in MGS4 was Kojima's way of saying that he agreed with me. Also I was actually spoiled on the Raiden switcheroo before I played the game, and I always felt that knowing that beforehand allowed me to enjoy the game more than I would have had I been "tricked."

Danaru posted:As much as I usually love showing this off since its kojima as gently caress, I didn't want to show it off badly enough to take a shot There is always the option of bonus videos to show off anything you missed, you don't even need to talk over them! I'm glad you went out of your way to expose the Commandant Gear prototype.

Choco1980 posted:Wait, I just had a weird thought. Is Ocelot still calling Solidus "Mr. President" even though he stepped down after Shadow Moses? Because if so, that's a little weird I guess, but otherwise if not, then is he talking to Johnson as he escapes the Tanker? Former Presidents are usually addressed as "Mr. President" long after they leave office, it's not unusual at all that Solidus would retain that title. Ocelot despite being Russian, did work for a branch of the U.S. Military, and also is working under Solidus so it's not hard to see where that respectful formality comes from. A thought occurred to me while watching the Plant chapter intro. This setup is very similar to the 90s action movie "The Rock." Both feature a terrorist takeover of an offshore facility during a tour, and the group attending the tour become hostages. The counter terrorist squads in both the movie and the game are both massacred in a single room, leaving only two survivors who can save the day: An older, battle hardened, ex-commando and a younger man with experience in training scenarios but has never seen live combat. There are a couple other similarities as well, bomb defusal(missile dismantling in the film), the stakes being raised with a pregnant girlfriend, and probably a few others I can't think of due to not seeing the movie or having played the game in years. What I'm saying is that Nicholas Cage and Sean Connery should have played Raiden and Snake. Edit: If you haven't seen it, go watch The Rock. It's basically a how-to guide for making an entertaining action movie.

Why would they put the prevention of WW3 in the hands of Snake? They say he's the only person who can kill the boss, but the only thing we've seen him do is get his rear end handed to him on literally every occasion, what's more, the person he is sent to kill was the one who beat him senseless. I know he eventually becomes the world's greatest soldier, but his showing in the Virtuous Mission should make him the absolute last choice for a mission of this magnitude.

Zain posted:Horses aren't taboo to eat... Well they were for a while during this administration (I think they finally got rid of it in 2013) they kinda hosed up the horse industry in general. But like before some sort of regulation that banned the consumption of horse meat- it was fairly booming and they weren't considered sacred. I rode horses for a while as a teenager and they are now up there with dogs on the list of animals I will never eat. Everything else is fair game though.

On the subject of effectiveness, is it me or does the "Dunk" move seem like something that shouldn't incapacitate anyone? I suppose it might knock the wind out of someone but I fail to see how throwing someone to the ground will put them out of the fight.

Admiral H. Curtiss posted:I think Sonic Adventure might be the most janky high-profile game ever made. Sky Deck alone is a complete mess of poorly implemented mechanics and nonsensical level transitions. I don't know if it's a certain degree of nostalgia, but lately I found myself missing the times when a big budget high profile AAA game could actually be an unpolished mess of ideas and glitches. I dont know, it just seems like the level of polish and homogenized game systems renders most games in the AAA space completely unremarkable.
