As you can tell by the above image, Topher was not available to do the traditional Sunday afternoon RetroforceGO! post this week. He has Photoshop. I do not.
Not to worry. Once he gets done taming the unicorn he just purchased he will be back in time to record the show!
And speaking of the show, we have a little something extra special planned. For the first time ever, RetroforceGO! is teaming up with Podtoid for an all-Metal Gear spectacular! The RFGO! crew will be discussing the early Metal Gear games tonight (Metal Gear for the NES, Snake's Revenge, etc.) and later this week the Podtoid hooligans will be tackling the Metal Gear Solid series. But I’m not going to lie. The Solid games are some of my favorite of all time (Snake Eater!), so I will probably still mention them a couple times on tonight’s show. Just don’t tell Anthony. He said he would punch me in my “baby inserter” if I broke the rules.
Hit the comments and leave us some questions for the show. Remember, whoever asks the best question (or says I am ridiculously handsome the most) will win an amazing cash prize! SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!

or do you guys just like a slab of Liquid Snakkkkeeeeeeeee
:P
Anyway, the Metal Gear series is one of my favorites in gaming, I've spent a lot of time with Kojima's games.
Since this is about the first series, here comes a couple of questions:
1. Out of the two versions of the first Metal Gear, which one do you prefer? The NES or the MSX version?
2. It's been more than 20 years of MG, and they keep adding more story excellence in each game. But there is something else. Do you think the series is more well known because of the gameplay or more because of the story? Also, which one do you think it should develop more? The gameplay or the story? If there is anything else you could add to the series, what would it be?
Yeah, I thought more this time on the questions.
And Chad, thanks for passing by on the IRC channel, we love you!
Right, question. Do you think the series would've had the success its had without introducing the Soliton Radar System in MGS1?
Also, don't forget the other acid!
Here's my question:
If snake was not a snake, what animal would he be?
First question: DO YOU FEEL ASLEEP!
Second: Anyone ever read the novels based on the original Metal Gear? They were awesome all over the place, but not exactly Tolstoy if you know what I mean.
Third: Least favorite of the old-school Metal Gear and why.
Fourth: Do you think that the whole stealth aspect worked well in the old Metal Gears, or do you think it could have been significantly improved?
Last thing: Chad, did I ever mention that you are unbearably, spectacularly, ridiculously, ludicrously, pants-wettingly handsome?
Because you are!
P.S. MONSTROUSLY handsome :D
Me am so smrt.
Regardless, I'm looking forward to listening to the voices of distant internet people.
We all know Kojima doesn't consider Snakes Revenge a real Metal Gear game, what is your opinion of the game?
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?
Which RFGO cast members is mostly to pull a Gray Fox like betrayal?
Who would win in a fight, Solid Snake or a Dinosaur?
Why is this?
P.S. I want to play the first 3 Metal Gear Solid games before MGS4 comes out. If I substitute Twin Snakes for MGS1 will I get just as full of an experience?
- Which is your favorite and least favorite boss battle in Metal Gear?
- What did you think about Snake in BRAWL or ApeEscape?
- Did anyone of you play the fantastic GBC Metal Gear?
question! do you guys think without metal gear, that the stealth sort of game would even exist?
and a quick fyi, im slowly plotting on stealing Colette, just warning
Also, what about Ghost Babel? Did anyone play it?
Also, punching dogs.
Questions:
1: Out of all the Metal Gear Mechs, which would you say was the most dangerous/which was hardest to beat?
2: What did the RetroForce Go crew think of Metal Gear's transition from the 2D 8bit-ish games, from the 3D MGS games? Best thing the series could have done, or any other opinions?
;)
I owned/played the GBC metal gear and saddened that i sold it :(
and, THE TRUCK HAVE STARTED TO MOVE and btw
...contact missing our grey fox
Snake's my kind of guy.
He's great 8-bit, and next-gen.
He can DDDDRRRRRAAAAAIIIIINNNNNN my (milk)shake.
What are some of your favorite MG/MGS moments? Did you think the original, or the NES version was better? What do you prefer, MG or MGS?
Finally, Chad, I was looking through your played games and I saw GEARS OF WAR. I thought you guys didn't like shooters. I don't have a problem with them, but I was just wondering why it was on there.
Or...
Do you think the Metal Gear Solid series will indeed make it to the 360 after hearing Kojima say he wasn't the most pleased because of the PS3 technicalities? Do you think the Xbox will be able to handle these technicalities easier/better?
What other stealth games from ye olde retro days got it right? And for that matter, which ones got it wrong? I honestly can't think of too many, before the days of Metal Gear Solid. Alternatively, what makes for a good, or a bad, stealth game?
And now, dog pic:
I think you might have used the wrong skin when you made this post Chad. Wait, what am I thinking, Chad can't be wrong. Which means GDC is coming soon yay!
Anyways, I can't really say much on this topic since I only really played the Solid series of games with any form of success. The original Metal Gear frustrated the hell out of me, but I cannot remember why. I think I will have to go pick it up some day and give it a try.
Looking forward to hearing everything you guys have to say.
I have not played the Metal Gear games and I am wondering if I should go back and play these.
Also, I want more Jim Sterling Metal Gear Solid impressions.
Oh, and Brawl, naturally.
HAHAHAHAHA AWESOME
Who has the bigger wang: Big Boss or Solid Snake?
(sp?)
I dunno if thats very clear but basicaly I wanna know if anyone else feels pissy about the fact that booses now had a sort of "super power" instead of just being badasses in battle, I mean psycho mantis was still cool he was kind of pyschiatric and stuff, but the vampire guy? c'mon.
Question! Well, two...
I understand there is a MGS bundle for PS2 out there, are the controls and graphics well-aged enough to play in todays gaming environment?
Is the extras when buying MGS3:S worth the purchase after buying the bundle?
