It's possibly my favourite thing at the moment. I'm a shy laugher, it's very rare for me to laugh my ass off loudly and uncontrollably, but this podcast (and MBMBaM in general) destroy me.
I can't remember the last time I laughed as hard as I did at the conclusion of Episode 4 (the... um, "riddle of the two dwarves" let's call it). Tears, couldn't breathe, all up in that.
You need two things for watchable D&D: 1) a rock-solid DM to keep things snappy and focused, and 2) people who understand and enjoy improv.
You also want to avoid one thing: bringing super competitive attitudes to the table.
Which is to say, I worry this group is going to struggle when it comes to putting on a naturally enjoyable show. I'm expecting lots of stop/starts, umming and ahhing. Lots of vanilla choices in potentially open situations. Lots of trying to roleplay a personal wish at the expense of the group narrative.
That said, and has been mentioned, maybe the guys just need to find the biting point of the group's engine. The sweet spot where they know just how much to push Rorie's DMing, and where they've figured out each others' quirks and how to make those quirks fun by playing off them.
Snake did, he's one of the first he calls with but since it hit his arm it takes a minute to take effect.
SMH at all the people that said Demo Derby was a better feature than MGScanlon.
That was a perfect first episode. Drew's reaction to Ocelot, the Bees and the intro was great. And despite a few classic MGScanlon cock ups, he seems to adapt to the new style of gameplay much more naturally than the previous entries in the series. He certainly did much better in that opening section than I did when playing through it the first time.

Real talk.
I never got why people loved The Boss so much. Her dialogue and overly philosophical ramblings are Kojima being his most Anime Bullshit-y.
I like the greater story about her though but almost every time she talks its the worst.

Dan's getting back into the habit of saying too much again. Maybe let Drew figure out the relationship between Snake and Boss on his own, instead of explaining it in the first episode of the series?
The sequels (and Peace Walker in particular) over-idealize her into Mary Sue proportions as well. I find it quite grating to be honest, but the sequence at the end of MGS 3 with her was incredibly well done, I'll give them that.
He always does it in the first episode because he is so excited but he usually calms down a few episodes in.

Peace Walker is a weird fucking game even by MGS standards.
And not in the weird metal gear way.
Its a shame Portable Ops has been semi disregard as canon because I think that had a better story even if the Null stuff was dumb.
The fact that she's been into space has made this head-canon for me.
i actually kind of enjoyed fighting the various
giant robots
Especially where they went with Paz, dagnamnit.

Mgs v is basically peace walker 2.0 so that will be nice

I never realised Yung Ocelot was voiced by Spider-Man.

The thumbnail for the new Giant Bomb Unplugged episode is silly.
I'm sorry, Dan.
DAN HAS THREE ARMS?!
Symmetry, dude. Three nipples, three arms.

The Japanese version of the Snake Eater song is the smoothest thing

without even listening to it I was ready to say "fuck that" but you know
goddamn that's slick
e: huh, that's Akiko Wada singing. She's a pretty big name to pull for a video game.

What a great start to Metal Gear Scanlon 3, Drew seem to be more into it already and is playing more methodically than before (until he gets spotted and all logic goes out the window 
). Was laughing my ass of at the complete failure of the Rambo 2 move.
Hopefully Dan reads some of the comments before next episode though, he's missing a lot of stuff and is just getting other things like CQC plain wrong.

I immediately had to laugh. I never saw this when I played the game.

I'm always confused about why ocelot was so concern about nuking his fellow russians when he shot them all just moments ago.

Already, i've enjoyed seeing this first hour of MGS3 more than all of the previous games. MGS3 is so damn good, and it sucks that Kojima went full stupid with MGS4 given the high bar set by this game.
