RetroforceGO! Episode 46: Metal Gear photo

I know I say this every Monday but, hooray Monday! Not too much has changed over that course of the last week, but then again, not much does in the world of retro. I hear that in the next-gen world, a 360 burned a house down, Nintendo is still on top, and Sony fans are chomping at the bit for the new MGS 4. None of that effects us in any way, but we can throw in our 2¢ by talking about the original Metal Gear games, right?

Highlights! 

  • Pizza Rolls GO!
  • Dyson = not-restraint
  • This week VC is fun, fun, FUN!
  • According to Toph-lette, there is no Yardsale
  • Love can bloom on the battlefield
  • Stupid retarded love, but love all the same
  • Lone Manitee <3's Kevlar Trousersnake
So, yeah, looking back, those are pretty weird sounding highlights. I guess you'll just have to listen and find out what the heck this week's show was all about. While you're doing that, I'm still going to try and get through the origianl Metal Gear series for the NES. That is, of course, unless I FEEL ASLEEP.

Last week, you guys read my questions on the show, so that's awesome. But you thought I was a girl. Not as awesome.

In conclusion, I am a man. I guess it's my fault for having this name, though.

The Robert McKee bit is a reference to the Rev Rant (he'll get it), not a hating on Metal Gear. I don't hate as a rule.

@Chad: I don't know if it's been that way from the beginning, but the later games lets you use cigarette smoke to detect lasers. You know, so you don't set off alarms.

Informer Salamander is my Metal Gear name with my online persona (yes my online persona has a last name too) With my real life name I'm Intoxicating Gorilla.

This is fun!

Glad you like the Haiku music by the way :)

The cigs in Metal gear 1 extend the time you have to escape at the end.

It's not a robot, it's Gray Fox from Metal Gear Solid.

Boy you guys sounded like old geezers in this show. :P

Here's the correct answer to what SaxAttk asked.
This is what's on Metal Gear Saga DVD 1 (if my memory doesn't trick me).

One of the developers of Snake's Revenge met Kojima on a train and told him how much he and the team who made the bastard sequel wanted to make a real sequel with him.

Hideo still wasn't sold on the idea but it changed in a matter of days.

I love how Anthony busts my balls as soon as the haiku is over. Actually the milk part was not ment to be read, just to help clear up things, but,like Colette said, it's comming along and in like 100 episodes, it will be ten times better than it is now

@ Aborto- I think this is what you're looking for.

Also, (I haven't gotten to listen to the show yet, but) did you guys see the thing I put together? Just wondering.

Blake: Email us at retroforce@destructoid.com.

And Qal is right. The name of the game is Dreammix TV World Fighters.

And don't worry EChief, Rev has an adverse reaction to everything.

I never played the US versions of the NES Metal Gear games, only the MSX ones (thank you emulation and fan translation!). I knew Snake's Revenge was a completely different game than Metal Gear 2, but I didn't know there was that much of a difference with the original...

Question, assuming anybody's still looking at this: In the MSX Metal Gear, right before you find out Big Boss is in fact the bad guy he actually tells you over the Codec that the mission is aborted and to turn off your MSX game system immediately. Does he do anything like that in the NES version? I thought it was hilarious. :)

Oh, and David Hayter's name in the Metal Gear Name Generator is "Jockstrap Bison". ^_^

Also, I can't remember if it was this show or Podtoid that brought it up... But couldn't the contest winner just send a private message through the site to the host of the show (Dyson/Rev)? That way you wouldn't have to worry about validating their identity. :)

If you go to the Metal Gear name generator and put in first name = Evil, last name = Chad, the name that comes up is Bohemian Manatee
Evil Concelmo = Kevlar Chimera

WTF? Why spoil Cloverfield? The movie came out THIS year.
Dyson's Avatar - Comment posted on 04/22/2008 13:58

Scotty, I'd have to ask Chad or Colette. They're the only ones who have beaten the game, yet!

We ask that people email us for other reasons than just to say "oh hai, I won." Prize distribution, and whatnot. Also, I can't receive private messages over the network, no one knows why.

Lotan: Sorry, I haven't seen the movie, but I knew it had a monster in it, doesn't everyone?

No worries, I was just kidding about the Rev thing. If anything, criticisim is good because it can make me better the haiku to make it even more respectable.
ScottyG's Avatar - Comment posted on 04/22/2008 19:35

Oh for sure. I just figured for security reasons it would make it easier for just contest winners to PM you. Although if you can't receive them it's kind of a moot point. ^_^

Dyson: Well, anything starting "at the end of..." is really a big spoiler. Btw, in Russia(which I'm from) movie was "translated" as "Monstro".

I didn't even play rocky and bullwinkle and I can't unplay what I watched Tazar play. It was like Warioware without knowing what the controls are. Timed minigames where you're trying to find out what the controls are for 5 seconds and the last second goes to losing.
