I didn't plan to share this out again but it hit a small jump stat wise, so maybe people are in the mood for 2 hour Metal Gear Solid documentaries right now? Enjoy if so. This video means a lot to me, so please even if it's not your bag pass it along to someone who might dig it.
So @thedavidhayter.bsky.social, what EXACT sort of voice direction did you get here for this scream. How this one hasn't reached Wilhelm levels of cultural importance I'll never know.

Got FOXHOUND rank in Delta. It's not really impressive, but hey I never did a Foxhound run in the original. I just wanted to do another playthrough of Delta so I thought I'd try. I never used to even attempt anything remotely hard. I'm more of a lore guy.

Lmao. A nearly 50% increase in price just a few months after their LAST increase IN THIS ECONOMY is such a level of "fuck you" that I can't imagine it wasn't pitched by a man twirling a curly mustache.

Went outside my wheelhouse here. I wanted to do a video about insane Gamecube game prices. Ended up expressing this idea by looking at a few of the most expensive ones and asking the question: "Is it even good?". Hope you enjoy!

I read the patent. I’m no Nintendo fan, but they didn’t “patent summoning.” They patented a SPECIFIC summoning mechanic. A game would need to copy EVERY SINGLE detail to infringe. So relax. Persona, Final Fantasy, etc. are safe. Still insane to patent gameplay mechanics at all.

Did you know before it ever got a console sequel, Metal Gear Solid had a "spinoff" on the Gameboy Color?
Let's take a look at the criminally underrated Metal Gear: Ghost Babel, the first Metal Gear handheld game.

Very funny detail to have Sam drive on the right side in the two seater vehicles in Death Stranding 2. (Also, yeah I got stuck on this rock).

It's been a wild week, so I'm circling back to a video I put out last weekend in case anyone missed it. It's a deep dive into Solidus Snake and a little bit of the "meme" theme of MGS2. Check it out if you haven't yet and pass it on if you can.

Thanks for all that came out last night and got to experience this incredible moment I started Death Stranding 2 for the first time.
What an immersive and seamless experience. (Jokes aside, it's obviously amazing.)

You know I had to make a bad poster. A new Kojima release may as well be a holiday in my community and we're celebrating as such. Come join us for tonight's big kick off as we start our playthrough of Death Stranding 2, which will continue over the coming weeks.
Hope to see you there!

I work early in the morning, so tomorrow evening we start our Death Stranding 2 playthrough over on Twitch. Spent all evening setting it up. I'm super hype to dive into this one with everyone. However, I will be sharing NO SPOILERS to socials.

Square in 1996:
"Ok, so his name is Sephiroth. It's a word in Kaballah that represents a physical manifestation of God's will. It perfectly fits the themes of his character and the game!"
"That's so cool! So what should we name the protagonist?"
"Who fucking cares?"

I love Metal Gear Solid 1, but MAN after doing so many MGS1 vids this entire first year of YouTube, I'm so stoked to actually be editing a Metal Gear Solid 2 video going into year 2. I got so much in the pipeline I can't wait to share. Thank you all.

Last year I wanted to get into Gundam. I deeply researched decades of canon and timelines. Made my own watch order based off multiple others I found. I then downloaded EVERY series, movie and OVA. This all took over a month.
I still haven't watched a single frame of Gundam.

NEW VIDEO: Today I'm covering Final Fantasy X's unique aesthetic that evolves what you might expect of FF and combines, twists, and morphs some of the most melancholic yet scenic sights of the early 2000s. Today we talk about Final Fantasy X & the Tropical Mourning Time aesthetic.
