Everyone knows that slowly creeping past guards without them knowing you were ever there is the only cool guy playstyle for cool guys.
The way God intended.

I like you
I love a girl who likes to get into that B-movie horror talk
Shame about all those things she did to Grey Fox

I consider that non-canon.

Why did my membership have to lapse as soon as MGS came back?! Now I'll have to wait a couple weeks to catch up. Hopefully I'll have more than one episode to catch up on.
It's a work.

Great joke from Drew:
"For example, one guy feels really bees!"
Dunno, it wad pretty straightforward to me and it ties in well with the alternate history angle the game is going for
What I mainly mean is that they repeat the same thing like four times and talk excruciatingly slowly while stills drift in and out of the screen

They repeat...the same thing?

Yeah, I found it a bit frustrating to watch Dan interrupt and ask Drew to do something.
I get it, you want to show him (& us) the funny stuff, but do a post-playthrough run around or Youtube watch like with the MGS2 trailers.
I'd rather just see Drew play and the both of them have fun experiencing it together.

The end will probably take drew a few months to beat
Yes, BreezyLimbo. The same thing.
sounds like Dan is breaking his own rule of not telling Drew what to do until asked.
The same thing?
The same..?
Seriously though, that kinda drove me nuts in the Persona ER, where every crucial bit of information is repeated at least 3 times in case you're an idiot.
Sad thing is that it's probably often required
Especially in Metal Gear where you can write out a plot summary and still get lost
Still there's no excuse for SNEAKING MISSION SNEAKING MISSION STEALTH MISSION DON'T GET SPOTTED ON THIS SNEAKING MISSION SNAKE
That was my experience with devil survivor ds. Conversations were already an annoyance to tap through, but then add to that a lot of unnecessary explanation and retreading of very simple information.

This is a sneaking mission

The irony about them constantly restating the premise of the mission and summarizing the game's events over and over again is that when some real narrative bombs drop later on they just kinda spit them out once and hope you were paying attention because that's that.
If there's one thing that I like about the Bombcrew that's lacking in Dan is their restraint and "less is more" approach to their commentary and humour with their content. Dan really suffers from "captain obvious" syndrome and inability to dial it down. Even Vinny is subtle compared to Dan.
Are you talking same scene or later on?
I suspect games repeat things often because they have no idea how people are experiencing them.
For movies, you can assume that people are watching straight through. For TV, you assume that people are watching at least a full episode straight through, but have no knowledge about how far apart they watch episodes.
For games, depending on the saving structure, they have no idea how a player will break things up. For one player, two scenes may only be five minutes apart. For another player, maybe they save after one scene and only pick the game back up a month later.
I suspect that's why games do a lot of plot reinforcement.

Gah, I seriously just played Snake Eater HD a few months ago, and Metal Gear Scanlon is making me want to play it again!
It might be the most perfect game.

I KNEW LBJ's voice actor sounded familiar. It's Sully from Uncharted!
Because of the intro of the new MG Scanlon video I want to repost those FUCKING AMAZING video interviews with a veteran who used to fly the SR-71 spy plane.
Here's an 1h18 min long interview with him. If you like the cold war or aviation in general this is fucking fascinating. It's full of crazy stories of what happened during his career.
Then the same guy does a full cockpit check out (for both cockpits). Again, if you like aviation and military airplanes this is a must see.
Finally, he does a "tour" of the engine explaining how it works and the different capabilites.
