That is all.

Hi! I'm a pretty cool guy called Jama that reads blogs, plays games and doesn't afraid of anything!
I've got a nifty set-up at home that involved a 360 before I sold it. :(

Now it's just a PS3, a DS and a PSP. Portable gaming FTMFW!
Seriously though, portable gaming is a treat. It's sex, but on the roads. I love being able to whip out the old guy and playing with him until I get tired.

Gaming has changed. It's no longer about clans, teamwork or even the goal. It's an endless series of griefing, fought by failtards and trolls. Gaming, and it's now consumption of life, has become a well-oiled machine. Gaming has changed. ID tagged "Call of Duty 4" soldiers carry ID tagged Gamertags, use PSN ID tagged gear. Hormones, after gaining an achievement, are released inside their bodies to enhance and regulate their abilities. Sony control. Microsoft control. Nintendo control. Consoles control. Everything is monitored, and kept under control. Gaming has changed. The age of 8-bit Mario's has become the age of control. All in the name of averting financial catastrophe from Ubisoft casual games. And he who controls the controller port 1, controls the first player. Gaming has changed. And when the battlefield is under total control, gaming, becomes routine.

MGS Codecs Part 1/5
Itchy | 7:34 PM on 06.24.2008 13 comments




The Metal Gear Solid franchise is memorable and almost unique from other games in two things; more twists than a Fanta Twist (seriously that shit is tasty) and codec conversations. Codec conversations have been a staple of this franchise, they were the gateway to saving your game. In that sense, there was no way around codecs. I was delighted to find out that the codec system would be improved on in MGS4. Excited, I took a stroll down memory lane to see how past Metal Gear Solid games did it. Here, take my hand, and we'll take the less spoilerish path.

Today will be all about MGS1.



Metal Gear Solid. Codec conversations here were the very first I experienced. At first I was sure this was redundant. I didn't like the chatter, I wanted to play. But as I progressed in the game I learnt that this system was completely necessary in order to defeat the bosses. I relied on this system when Psycho Mantis appeared, Sniper Wolf for the PSG-1 rifle and later again against the same opponent. Even for non-boss situations, such as the Meryl codec number, the codec system became essential, it became an important aspect of the game.

In the end I found myself just calling Nastasha in order to hear her loving Russian accent (and the weapons information too), Mei Ling for the "Oh I can't believe I'm being hit on by the famous Solid Snake. :O" and Campbell for... information.



Metal Gear Solid may even have the most important moment on codec the major twist that was... [Oh fuck it, who hasn't played MGS1?]

Join me next time as I stroll down memory lane once again, and knock on the door that is Metal Gear Solid 2.
