It's triggering me that they're not buying the stinger in the shop for this fight

I am so damn triggered like you would not believe

Like

check the shop

stinger

and when she's cooling down she landed somewhere

TRIGGERED

Spoiler

I'm kidding dan you guys did great but seriously buy the damn stinger

 

[Mister Negative]

To be fair, the metal gear solid MO up to this point is pretty much hey, here's an item. You're going to have to fight a boss with this, so just keep that in mind. So I wouldn't really think to check the shop for the stinger.

 

[Mature]

I don't think I ever used the Stinger for the Raven fight, actually. In a lethal run, I would just chip her down with the M4, then use the DSR when she's cooling down.

Edit: It's probably a lot quicker though. I'll try that next time.

Wait, The Volta River? That's in Africa. THAT ISN'T EASTERN EUROPE.

Kojima wasn't allowed to check the Internet to make sure.

Hey, man, the country of Eastern Europe can have a Volta River if it wants.

There IS a Volga River, which is the longest river in europe. But that's a pretty huge oversight of that one letter discrpancy

There are no jungles in Russia either guys. Metal gear isn't non-fiction.

The Roku app could really use a facelift. The videos load really slowly for me too for some reason.

That's one of the dumbest things in MGS3. Did Kojima just look at Russia on a map and figure it's so big there's got to be jungle somewhere?

Actually, if you're doing a lethal run or non-lethal, does the Beast phase of the fight even count towards that tally?

I have it in my head that killing the Beast is fine, but in the Beauty phase that's when you'd stun her if you wanted to go for no-kills. Am I mixing this up?

 

[CambriaRising]

Nothing to back this up, but my theory is that MGS3 was originally set in soviet occupied Central America.

Volgin imported that jungle with the Philosopher's Legacy.

 

[NumberThree]

I just read Austin's Galak-Z review and that's a review for sure.

I love how writing more about a game than just describing the mechanics is "showing off his degree" (yeah I read the comments, sue me)

Using his money to restore the climate, a true patriot (｡・ω&#12539ゞ

Hey I saw that before you edited! You put in Volga imported the jungle! It was funnier...

 

[Zocano]

You know I would say maybe the next fight would be fun but of the like 6 times I've fought that boss, I've spent 6 hours under a truck

Spoiler

1 hour for each run.

 

[jgminto]

I did? I don't remember that.

 

[HappenstanceUK]

Honestly I thought that read more like an article than a review. I just wanted to see what the game was like, not read through a load of Austin's thoughts on other stuff. I'm not saying there isn't a place for it, but I don't think a review is that place.

There's like a billion other reviews that just tell you what the game is though.

 

[HappenstanceUK]

Yes there are, and unfortunately if I see Austin is reviewing a game now I'll probably go read one of those reviews instead of GB content which I tended to prefer. I just think a review is supposed to be a helpful piece explaining the game. He could have easily put all the extra stuff in a separate article that complimented his review.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

I'm watching an old Demo Derby and Dan's reaction to Rasta Jeff is amazing.

"Who is Jah? Like Tony Jaa?"

"C'mon, bro. This is the most un-irie thing I've ever heard"

"I don't know any California slang."

The BnB out-of-suit scenes and subsequent Drebin info-dumps are the worst. THE WORST!

One of my most memorable scenes from mgs1 was Mantis giving his backstory while dying. I just wish the beauties gave their own back stories rather than some dude with a Wikipedia entry.

It's too early in the year for another everyone vs Brad Destiny discussion.

After 370 hours in Destiny, I feel qualified to yell at Brad during the podcast when he tries to make outlandish statements about Destiny. Especially when he tries the "y'all just ain't played enough for these here Destiny talkins" tact.

There's maybe 3-4 lines tops where Dinklage's Ghost could be considered anything above deadpan, let alone whimsical.

 

[Falifax]

Wait, The Volta River? That's in Africa. THAT ISN'T EASTERN EUROPE.

Isn't the location in act 3 based on Prague? Then it would be the Vltava river, so no idea why they decided to go with Volta.

You don't get it man, his deadpan delivery shows his whimsical worldview.

Seems like it! I think people still underestimate the reach of The Bombcast, it's incredibly popular. Same with The Beastcast I'm guessing.

 

[Jothel]

So I went to see the new Mission Impossible film earlier and there's a real weird Halo 5 product placement bit in it...
The Simon Pegg character is playing a game at his desk briefly, shows some pretty generic footage of it, he sees a senior coming so shuts it off and chucks the box in his desk. It lingers on the box for a few seconds too, real weird.

It doesn't have to be "this game rules" vs "this game sucks". We've had several great Destiny segments this year already due to DLC shenanigans, Red Bull promotions, Peter Dinklage getting John Connored, etc. YMMV, of course, but I always find the Bombcast discussions of everything Destiny-related interesting and fun for some reason. It's just the game that keeps on giving

Yeah there's a ton of Microsoft product placement in that movie.

Yep, all the tablets are Surface tablets as well I think. When it's that obvious that almost all the shit you use is from one company it really bothers me.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Yeah, this raven fight is pretty terrible. These bnb fights are as whack as I remember them being.

Drew getting one back on the whiney commenters was great.

I seem to remember every B&B fight being easy but also really tedious.

What, is it that unbelievable that the surface would feature heavily in everyday life?

LMAO at Alex's "TIGER DAM!" comment in the Armello Unfinished.

@austin_walker tests his Internet connection

I love Austin's description on the Streamfriends site. :lol

When he isn't spouting off about historical materialism and critical posthumanism in a paper, he's here on Stream Friends, spouting off about historical materialism and critical posthumanism.

[Jeevesmeister]

Austin really needs to get off this kick of giving no mention to the fact that Go Set A Watchman is not a sequel in any way and was never supposed to be released. It's kinda infuriating for someone who wants to write intellectual play totally ignorant to an actual woman's exploitation so they can keep rattling on about a fictional man's morality.
