One of my favourites too. It was brilliant for the GBC - this is how you do a game that makes best use of the platform it's on.

it's virtually guaranteed that that will happen eventually
soooo, you didn't watch the cut scenes? it tells you right there in the opening. you have conversations between Khrushchev and LBJ.
You think so? I'd love it to happen, but I don't know if it will after the HD collection was released on PS3.

konami is not known for leaving money on the table. they rerelease and repackage metal gear as often as feasible for them. i would imagine a port of up-res'd PS2/PSP games could run pretty well on a PS4/XBone without breaking the bank. shit, that would also open the door for steam releases

iirc the HD collection games were all only upressed to 720p on PS3/360 rather than 1080p. So a rerelease of those games on PS4/Xbone/PC could actually be improved, hopefully bundled in a collection with a remastered MGS4 locked at 60fps. I find it so difficult to replay MGS4 due to all the framerate dips below 30... and everything else lol.

Metal Gear Scanlon - Part 04 went up this morning.
You guys should seriously check it out. You need a Giant Bomb subscription to do so, as it is premium content. It is by far my favorite video series since the Persona 4 endurance run. I very much encourage you to at least get a monthly subscription to check out the first four episodes and the upcoming ones (there are two episodes per week). What's great about it is the whole thing started when Drew Scanlon, a Giant Bomb employee, told Dan Ryckert, the newest Giant Bomb editor (formerly of Game Informer), that he had never played a Metal Gear game and was unfamiliar with its story and lore. Dan, being one of the biggest Metal Gear fanboys out there, took it upon himself to make sure that was corrected. So Drew is playing and is having his mind alread blown by crazy Kojimaisms, and Dan watches and comments with gleeful excitement. They intend on getting to MGS4.
We are essentially witnessing the birth of a Metal Gear fan. And it is very exciting to me.
I already cannot wait for Drew to witness the ending of MGS2.

Anyone that knows japanese who could translate what they say about TGS 1 hour and 40 minutes into this video?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNdWQazg8F4
Uptdate:
Okay, I went and asked Marc Laidlaw of JunkerHQ what they were saying and he was kind enough to translate for me. Turns out it's a competiton for people to send in footage of themselves playing GZ and P.T, winners will be shown at TGS.
Just to clarify, the reason I was originally looking to get this translated was because I was lead to believe by someone who posted this video on another site that Kojima talked about a new TPP mission being shown at TGS here, but that person was obviously lying or posting assumptions so no real news on what they're showing just yet.

Haha, I don't. I simply enjoy them very much. The thing about me is that I take a lot of pleasure in watching someone experience something that I have experienced and liked. I happen to love Metal Gear Solid, so watching Drew discover the series with Dan saying funny shit is the best.
Giant Bomb does plenty of free videos. The videos that are behind the subscription paywall are often times full playthroughs of games, such as the Breaking Brad series and this one. I understand not wanting to pay, but I encourage you to give it a shot at least once. Pay the one monthly fee and check out some of their premium content. If you feel constrained by the time period, being a premium member lets you download their videos and store them on your hard drive, DRM-free. So you could subscribe, stock up on a bunch of their videos, download UniverselMediaServer on your PC and stream them to your television through your PS3 or other device for maximum enjoyment. That's what I do.
You should !
Here are some highlights from this morning's episode:
You should install the chrome extension Gif Delayer, which makes the browser display gifs only after fully downloading them. This makes it so the effect of seeing the gif is not ruined by lag.

Nope, don't know JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Just googled it. It came from a manga?
I guess I watched at that time more Shaman King

I watched the first episode and I really liked it. It's funny to see the reactions of people who are new to the series, for instance when Snake says that he had hidden the cigarrettes in his stomach and Drew is like 'wtf!?'. A long time MGS fan wouldn't even bat an eyelid at that line since we're already desensitized by all the crazy shit that happens throughout the series lol.

Do you did it by yourself? I think about making a MGSV Ocelot like this one.
I was about 10-13 at the time. My attention span was short so I lost interest during the long boring intro cutscene. To be fair, most of the game is set in the wilderness. There wasn't a lot that would indicate that the game was set in the past and the 60's weren't that long ago

Alright, I've remade the gifs to be at a lower size without substantially affecting their quality. This should remedy the browser problems for some.
