With y0j1mb0 and Shipero taking the night off from Destructoid-related duties, this week’s MGO clan meet up fell on the shoulders of myself and Moosehole. Despite a few very minor hiccups, we were able to have a fun (and possibly successful) MGO night. Thanks go out to those that made it out tonight, as well as my personal apologies for ducking out a bit early. I mean, hey, I was charged to write the recap blog.

…in fact, to be completely honest, I don’t remember a whole lot of tonight’s shenanigans. Except, you know, every team I played on completely dominated the opposition. Is that a coincidence? Or do I just carry that much power in my frail, teenage girl-like hands? However, one specific memory comes to mind: During a game of Team Sneaking, Moosehole was the final person alive on the “Attacking/Rescuing” team and spent a good couple of minutes at the wrong base before he realized his error. Fear not fellow fans, for the opposing team still did not have the proper abilities to find him as he was able to ensure our team’s win. Moosehole, I salute you.

I would like to note, however, that I absolutely hate the regular Sneaking mission. The few rounds I played as Snake, I was terrible. In fact, I felt as if I should just stand out in the open to be killed just to get the next round started. But then, I realized that that’s no fun, so I spent a few minutes hiding until my original team (Red Team this time) had enough kills to get the win.

Some of my favorite places to hide in Urban Ultimatum were inside the garbage dumpster near the middle of the map:



As well as in one of the various crawlspaces scattered across the map:



For the final game, or at least my personal final game, I asked the remaining players to gather around the catapult in Urban Ultimatum for a few group pictures. Unfortunately, they aren’t too good because of the lack of the other team’s names, but so be it. Thanks again to those that co-operated.

This was one of the first images taken and it turned out pretty well, despite Celdurant and Gatomalo not properly posed. To make up for their minor flukes, I added a black and white filter because it is EPIC.



After the stereotypical “We Are DTOID” poses, I tried for some more experimental pictures. This was our attempt at forming some sort of star-like asterisk. However, Gatomalo didn’t get the picture and decided to floor hump his way across the ground. Way to go, man. Way to go.



After that, we decided to flip over and let the sun hit our front-sides. For some reason, Celdurant could NOT keep his hands off the goods. Like the gentleman that I am, I pretended to play dead so he could fulfill his video game necrophiliac fantasies.



Unfortunately, the eskimo and butterfly kisses weren’t enough (are they ever?) entertainment for this ragtag of manly men, because somebody pulled out y0j1mb0’s favorite periodical: Teen People.



At first, Benefactor was keeping Zac Efron to himself. But before long, the rest of the group became privy to his very selfish ways and found a copy of Seventeen with a cover story on the Jonas Brothers as Benefactor insisted on having his alone time.



Eventually, he could not curb his curiosity over the Jonas Brothers’ dietary habits and joined the rest of the group. Unlike the rest of the group, I was able to resist the tween pull that these young men have.



And with that, this week’s Solid Snake Saturday/MGO Saturday comes to a close. Join us next week as we practice our spooning skills.

Note: I apologize for differing image sizes. If they're really that bad (I haven't previewed the pictures yet), I'll re-size them later.
