kojima made a guy figure out how to have ice melt realistically on PS2 hardware (near launch) in an animation 99% of players would never notice

Yes, it's called the third law of thermodynamics.

Hans Blix never discovered the chemical weapons stashes because Saddam distracted him with hours of Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec. He always picked Swedish cars of course

Yeah, Substance wasn't at my local game store. Subsistence is way more common in my experience

I thought that the ice cubes that were closer to each other would melt more slowly than the ones scattered far away from each other, like in real life -- am I remembering wrong and they all melt st the same rate?

It was very painless because most stuff kept improving. I'd throw in Portable Ops because a PSTV is like what 10-30€ (I paid 28€ brand new) and the game is under 10€, but it's a bit of a set-back due to not having a HD version.

e: Or a PSP or Vita I guess but I like the big screen and a proper controller.

I triggered a ton of alerts on tanker just getting used to the controls and mechanics, and I had to let myself die so I could try again. Wish there was a better way to retry than waiting for guards to shoot me

But by the end of tanker I got a pretty good handle on the controls. I previously stopped on the vita version at the Olga fight because I couldnt simultaneously stay in cover and shoot with the tiny analog nubs

if you watch the commandant's speech on the projectors you can catch a glimpse of ocelot's men moving into position on the catwalks

I didnt know you could swap the projectors yourself and if you do it too many times theres a unique game over screen

I've played each one so many times that when I replay them now I do chronological order now because its fun to play that way for me personally. Release order is perfect for new players though, just don't skip Metal Gear 1 or especially 2 in my opinion. Also Ghost Babel isn't canon but its VERY fun for a GBC game.
