Can you understand what it's like to know that you're garbage since the day you were born?!

What is the best boss in the MGS series?

Also do you think MGS4 will bring a satifactory conclusion to the unfinished stories of the MGS universe?

Copy pasting from the Retroforce comments.

Right, question. Do you think the series would've had the success its had without introducing the Soliton Radar System in MGS1?

What do you consider the greatest innovations to the series brought forward from either MGS 2 or 3? I personally think its a tie between CQC or the third person behind the back camera BUT THATS JUST ME

I don't have a question, I just want to hear Jim do the Solid Snake voice.

Would you wear this t-shirt?



Also, what are your thoughts on Metal Gear Online? Regardless of the fact they fucked up the beta, should it ever have been made? Lot's of games do fine without multiplayer (BioShock) and lot's of games are all right, but then have shitty-ass multiplayer tacked on which brings the whole game down a notch (Condemned 2).

Fuck Jim.

Hideo Kojima has mentioned he'd like to work on Zone of the Enders 3 or an entirely new project next. If he starts a new IP, what genre/sort of game would you like this to be?

Since Kojima has said this will be his last MGS game do you think that he's got any legs to stand on for a new IP? In my opinion he isnt that well known outside of the Metal Gears

If you could change the fate of a metal gear solid character from any part of the timeline who would it be and why? E.G. Let Gray Fox not die . . . what a legend.

Did you find Big Boss to be a sympathetic character before playing Snake Eater?

Even though big boss was killed in Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, is there any chance they will bring him back to life in MGS4?

Would they include an old person love scene (mayonnaise optional) between Big Boss and Eva in which you'd have to balance the sixaxis precisely or Big Boss breaks a hip?

Was Otacon having sex with his sister?

More annoying: MGS controls or Rose in MGS2?

Meryl or Eva?

Does Jim refer to his genetals as European Extreme?

Does anyone else go into first-person view at the part in MGS2 where the guard pees off the oil rig, and just sit there being peed upon?

Also, give ArrestedDeveloper the money.

Damn.. I dream about being a director of an orchestra one day... SOOOO COOL!

1) What are your opinions on love blossoming on a battlefield?

2) WTF is up with crotch grabbing Raiden, and do you think we'll get a repeat in NGS4?

3) What do you think about the fact that the meat of the Metal Gear Solid story is told through juicy, post credit stingers and events that the user takes no active part in? I'm thinking President Solidus, the true nature of the Patriots, Snake diving after a Metal Gear, Ocelot/Liquid jumping in here and there to talkk witty/crazy smack talk nonsense, etc

4) Zone of Enders. Do you think there's any actual connection between MGS and ZOE, or does that just completely exist just in the realm of fanfiction and design coincidences? (cockpit crotch, mechs with super weapons built into them, etc) Is Kojima crazy enough to have built the connection into the last game of the MGS series, or am I just seeing black zombies? (ie arguable interpretation of similarity of which weak to no statement of original artist intent has no tangible bearing on the argument)

5) A Hind D?

Do any of you dislike the stealth genre, but still like MGS? I don't know what it is, maybe the cinematic nature of it, but MGS has always entertained me despite my hate for stealth games.

I'M PUTTING IT ON MY ZUNE. THEN FAPPING.

Do you like or even care that Kojima tends to fill in character back story and plot in non-chronological order?

Snake Eater and Portable Ops develops Big Boss as the sympathetic character. Similarly, both games give more context as to the nature of The Patriots and who are the (possible) faces behind the name.

Conspiracy theory:
Major Zero ("the man with the same code name as Null") is strongly hinted at in portable ops (spoilers) to be one of the founders of The Patriots. Seems odd that he could be an important role yet only now are we given the clues to figure out who these people that we've been told about are.

Solid Snake vs. Chuck Norris, Who wins?

How much of MGS's legacy is based on what it is and not on what we remember it to be? Point being, none of the games have really changed the face of gaming. It's a fantastic series, it's a fun series, but it's also a jankily controlled, convoluted story series.

Huh? isn't that a little redundant? Every Podtoid ends up being about Metal Gear Solid.

OH SNAP!!

From the first games, did you sense that Metal Gear would become the series it is now with twenty minute long FMV's about the nuke market? Or did you totally see Hideo for the crazy man that he is?

Question one: HOW THE FUCK WERE WE SUPPOSED TO KNOW TO PLUG THE CONTROLLER INTO PORT 2?!?!?

Question two: We already know the cast of RFGO's FoxHound names, what are the cast of Podtoid's?

JohnTheCrow:
If you keep calling the Colonel on codec for help, he'll eventually get the idea and tell it to you.

@ Kapkomi - Snake Eater is the regular game, and Subsistence is the "special edition" of sorts. It has a movable camera and a bonus disc with Metal Gear and Metal Gear II and some minigame. If you haven't played it, definitely get Subsistence.

Also, METAL GEAR AWESOME.

Did having a lessened the feel of MGS-(Ghost babel) on game boy color since snake always had his smokes?

And how do you feel on the subject of the game getting an -E- rating since the majority of MGS games have been mostly -M- rated, could nintendo could have played a role in this or could there have been obvious tech. limitations?

I second Wedge completely.

I know that it is probably too late for the show, but maybe somebody else can answer this question for me....

In Metal Gear Solid's briefing video, Snake's hair is clearly blonde and they discuss having to change his hair because... he looks too much like Liquid.

So if Big Boss in MGS3 is clearly brunette, and with Snake and Liquid and Solidus (with his white hair) his clones.... why does hair color not translate during cloning, but combat skill does?

My real concern is whether Kojima's geneticist can prevent me from getting high cholesterol and balding? I would gladly change my hair into a mullet for these things.

And one more thing, WTF?!

oh shit, SPOILER ALART!






In Portable OPS, Sokolov is alive??I thought he died by volgin's pummeling/assraeping How the hell did he escape from death?

btw, my username/handle came from those cyphers that fly around from MGS2

@JohnTheCrow

If you die once or twice you get a call on the codec that tells you do so.

OK slightly random question but if they went down the EA route with MGS 4 and decided to have a licensed soundtrack which bands/songs would like to hear and what wouldn't you want to be in the game.

David Hayter will NOT be on the podcast, it's nothing that incredible.

Why is there more than one MGS 2 and 3? And do you think they'll do it again?

I know I'm really late with this question but I figure I'll try anyway. I’m a huge fan of the Metal Gear Solid series, but anytime I rave about the story and the characters my friends usually complain about the ridiculousness of it all. They’ve seen me play small sections of the games, and I’ve tried multiple times to explain the story and how it, despite its surface level absurdity, has depth. But, most of the time they disregard it as “too extreme.” But, in my mind this is kind of the point. For example with the Metal Gears (both rex and ray) we have what are essentially nuclear tanks, but they are given the shape of, and act like, monsters. They are a metaphoric representation of their nuclear capabilities. I’m not saying every little thing in an MGS game represents something bigger, or that everything links back to some metaphoric bullshit, but I am saying that a lot of it does. I may be fucking crazy but I think the realistic story mixed with the hints of weird sci fi/fantasy elements makes for a fantastically deep and fun game. Wow I wrote more then I wanted to so I guess I should stop rambling and ask a damn question.

So I guess my question is this, do you think the exaggerated nature of the Metal Gear Solid series (vampires, mechs, and things of that sort) helps or hurts the games?

Do you guys think we will we have another opportunity to identify a character by the unique wiggle of their ass in MGS4?

awesome

In MGS3, eating wildlife was crucial to survival. Do you think that they will keep this in MGS4 instead of just circular rations? If so, what would he eat? He's in the middle east, so maybe different bugs? Lol.

How do you think the game will end or major plot predictions? Don't ruin it if you have inside info though..

@ veck i think it goes 3, portable ops (or is it portable ops then 3? i dunno) metal gear solid (psone) and last but not least metal gear solid 2 and i'm guess 4 would be last *dur*

Why can't Snake just retire and start up a dog grooming business?

Do you think that MGS3 would have been better if the outdoors jungle/forest sections had actually been massive non-linear spaces and not just pretending to be?

I guess the closest it got to this would be the fight against the end, which for me was one of the coolest, most tense experiences in a video game ever.

metal gear?

I'd like to just add abruptly, I was at the exact concert, the Orchestra is the Eminence Orchestra in Australia, they are far, far better than Video Games Live. :)
