The opening talk about shower heads had me laughing my entire drive to work.

Same. One of the funniest Bombcast topics in awhile.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

In college, one of the pranks we used to pull on other dorms was to put bouillon cubes in their shower heads since they had a ton of empty space and could be disassembled easily.

I imagine the concept could also be used with soap somehow.

 

[Celegus]

Gotta agree with Tricky. MGS2 and MGS4 were too much Kojima. MGS1 and MGS3 were masterpieces.

Naw man, more Kojima = more awesome. Don't think about it or rationalize it, just buckle up for the ride. I enjoyed 2&4 infinitely more than 1&3.

Infinitely? We cannot be friends.

[HamPster PamPster]

Who cares about Metal Gear when Zone of the Enders 2 is the perfect amount of Kojima

 

[Sexually Aggressive Uncle]

No Kojima is the perfect amount of Kojima.

I totally agree with GB about the MGS series.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

mgs2 was the right kind of too much kojima, mgs4 was the awful kind

 

[FStop7]

I don't understand how their panties get so ruffled over the ridiculous MGS mythology and yet they embrace stupid Saints Row 3.

Did the very same.

Ladies on the floor above us and below us would smell of beef bouillion from time to time.

I'm sure they loved it.

 

[inky]

MGS1 is the only amount of Kojima anyone should ever stomach. That'll last you a lifetime.

One is dumb, the other is dumb

You know what I'm sayin'?

You crazy!

 

[ShockingAlberto]

I think MGS3 is how I prefer my Kojima

Totally saturday morning cartoon antics of villains that meow like cats and control bees but then also totally dramatic fights, as well.

 

[darkressurection]

I agree most with Jeff on the MGS games, although I like MGS 1 and 3 way more than he does. I think that 2 and 4 (and ESPECIALLY Rising) are the best at embracing the fucking madness of the MGS storyline. I guess I like them more because I never really cared about the deeper message of the MGS games and just took them as these crazy pieces of spectacle more than anything.

a straighforward story as well

 

[Backfoggen]

I have no problem with all the Kojima.

 

[slightconfuse]

Boktai is the right amount of kojima.

The D is silent

 

[EmCeeGramr]

MGS3 was the point where MGS went from being about messages at the core of the experience with crazy plot as window dressing, to self-indulgence about a mythos which is bleh. MGS3 tried to balance it, but that's where it started.

 

[LiK]

dat Skullgirls tease....

 

[EmCeeGramr]

actually come to think of it, outside of ocelot finger-guns and mount snakemore, i'm not sure what was that "crazy" about mgs4 that wasn't already introduced in past games.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

I never played an MGS

NANOMACHINES SON

 

[EmCeeGramr]

NANOMACHINES SON

yeah but

i mean they went to an unintentionally hilarious extreme there, but nanomachines were in 1 and 2 and did crazy stuff

 

[sixghost]

I don't understand how their panties get so ruffled over the ridiculous MGS mythology and yet they embrace stupid Saints Row 3.

One has 30 minute cutscenes about the military industrial complex and is influenced by anime, the other is deliberately stupid as hell and prominently features wrestling and cyberpunk.

But I don't remember any 30 minute cutscenes in Saints Row The Third???

 

[slightconfuse]

never played 1 or 2 so allt his nanomachine stuff in 4 was crazy to me

 

[MuddyDonut]

How does Snake talk on the codec without the other guards hearing him?

 

[LiK]

How does Snake talk on the codec without the other guards hearing him?

Very quietly.

 

[ultron87]

Apparently by MGS2 it is nanotech based so you don't actually have to talk. http://metalgear.wikia.com/wiki/Radio

 

[EmCeeGramr]

How does Snake talk on the codec without the other guards hearing him?

In MGS1 and before, just by being quiet, or suspension of disbelief.

MGS2 (and Rising, I think) have it totally nanomachine/tech based so that nobody can hear you.

 

[vocab]

I never played an MGS

What is wrong with you.

 

[Neuromancer]

'cat honey'

Oh my god why is that so gross and funny.

 

[Tucah]

This Metal Gear talk (and the fact that I just bought the HD collection during the XBLA sale) makes me want to replay the series.

2>3>1>4, by the way, but they're all awesome.

 

[Duffyside]

"Philanthropy," guys. That's a big word, right? Mention Bioware and I'm gonna say "philanthropy" every time. "He's doing philanthropy." That's the correct use, yeah?

 

[A Pretty Panda]

The way people seem so polarized on the series, either 1/3 or 2/4, makes me not want to play any

 

[EmCeeGramr]

I like 2, 3, and 1!

 

[slightconfuse]

3 and peace walker are dope. 2 is cool form what i have heard of it

 

[Jamie OD]

I don't know how, I don't know why but the talk about what they want Mass Effect to be has convinced me to finally go and buy the trilogy.

 

[PaleFolklore]

This is seriously one of the best episodes of the Bombcast. Last weeks episode was amazing as well but this episode had me laughing so fucking hard.

 

[Rickenslacker]

I like them all, but at the time of release I wasn't really warm on 3.

 

[Jake Tower]

Just following orders, eh.



Lara's brutal kill animations are much more graphic and sadistic than anything in previous TR games.

When you're pushed, killing's as easy as breathing.

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

To me is 2 and 3. 4 is meh and I only played 1 in is Twin Snakes version.

 

[reson8or]

These guys have a hard on for Kojima.

 

[bro1]

As usual, Patrick pisses me off. You can't get mad at a game for not being what you wished it was. If you have a criticism of a game, criticize it for what it attempts to do. You don't get upset if a comedy isn't dramatic enough.

 

[maxiell]

You're upset because Patrick wanted more open-world exploration in a Tomb Raider game? It's a perfectly legitimate criticism.

 

[cuevas. PhD.]

Pretty good first 46 minutes.

 

[GolazoDan]

"Laura" Croft my god.

 

[DaBuddaDa]

It's not. They never called it or advertised it ever being an open world game. Wanting that when it was never promised is personal preference, not legitimate criticism.
