Metal Gear Scanlon this week?

you're pretty good..

Tap Triangle to publish video!

We just need the patience of Solid Snake

I understood that reference.

Maybe if someone bothers Dan on twitter about it it'll happen tonight.

Not just because he deserves it, but because he's the hero we deserve.

Yaaa...

I'm not actually proposing people bother people. Just a joke.

Damn you Giant Bomb, damn you!

I was getting excited for part 7 and now it's been an hour and 18 minutes with still no video :(

Ya, I was gonna download it and watch it before bed, but I guess I'll watch it tomorrow haha

Darnit

If they don't publish the next episode in the next 10 minutes then, by god, I 'm going to patiently wait until later on and check back when I have time.

Thatll show em!!!

WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn straight it will. Hell, I might even write an angry letter and then throw it out in the thrash because I'm afraid to send it! That will show them for sure.

The upload robot fails us again!

Scanlon? Scanlon? SCAANLOOOOOOOOOON!!

I'm picturing Drew wildly pressing the H button to upload but nothing is happening.

I live in the UK so I thought maybe the times had just gotten confused but it was supposed to be uploaded about twelve hours ago if that is to be believed, right? Wah, was looking forward to it. Hopefully it's not much longer.

@mancombseepgood: Four hours ago, by my count, and I'm equally disappointed! I slept terribly last night and woke up feverish, so I figured that watching MGS might make me feel better about skipping a six hour class. No such luck, just yet! 8(

If you go to MGS part 5 click download and change both dates to yesterdays and the part to 07 you should be able to watch it.

Wow, yeah that actually worked, awesome!

@baillie: i think if you post the actual link non subscribers will be able to access it.

You should pull that link, non-subs can watch it.

Whoops. I forgot about that, my bad.

I imagine Dan comes in this morning and finds Drew collapsed outside the office half buried in MREs: "Uh Drew, you forgot to equip your lvl 5 access card." Dan swipes his card, pulls out a cigarette, and lights up "now, to get past these damned lasers." He then drops on the floor and begins crawling through the door. Drew blinkly can't believe what he just saw. As he gazes upwards he sees a yellow triangle wrapped in red ribbon with the text "Protected by Kojima Security Systems" hanging next to the office door.

@baillie: YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGIVEN FOR THIS GRAVE ERROR OF JUDGEMENT!!!

I'll hand in my badge in the morning.

You have a heart of gold. Don't let them take it from you!

That trick isn't working for me. :-( It says Failed - Network error.

Yep, that works. TY!

Oh and for anyone that wants to download it (like I do) just right click that page and save as to download it.

Me neither. Am i doing something wrong?

@j12088: @mortface: Ya, that means it's not typed in correctly. The reason you have to use part 5 is the naming convention for the file is the same only the dates are yesterday (9/15/14).

Edit: oh and it's 07 instead of 05 (for the pt).

@j12088: change 04 to 15, 05 to 07 then the second 04 to 15 should do it.

@cornbredx: Aha! Right now i see. Has to be part 5. Good man, cheers.

Thanks so much for this!

I guess the problem was that the site doesn't properly recognise what midnight is. 00:00 is the very start of the 16th, and isn't on the 15th at all.

Ah! It works for the 'High' quality (code 1800), but not HD (code 4000).

@scarycrayons: @mortface: It worked for me on hd and they use the date they record it the 15th not the day it goes on the site the 16th

@mortface: For the record, HD works for me, but whatever gets it to work for you right now I guess haha

@scarycrayons: now, if the site was in swatch internet time like its SUPPOSED to be, these problems wouldnt happen.

Works fine in HD for me. I slept really badly and need something to help me stay awake/kill time until a coffee appointment in two hours, this is just what I needed! Thanks internet moon wizards!

Cant do that trick on a tablet :( cud someone pm me the afore mentioned link?

Dude, we can't post links directly because this is subscriber-only content. We covered this above.

@hammondoftexas: You should remove that link as it lets non subs get the file (as was mentioned just up the thread...)...

After watching this latest episode I'm genuinely scared that Drew just isn't having a good time playing the game... I think our hopes for a Metal Gear Scanlon 2: Sons of Scanlon feature are going to be short lived :(

We're relying on you Dan to keep him motivated!

@mancombseepgood: I just finished playing MGS2 and there were definetly some parts to it that while I was play told myself "Well Drew is going to hate/have trouble with this, and this. And oh dear this too"

@oscar__explosion: Yeah I was also inspired my Metal Gear Scanlon to do a good old fashioned MGS marathon... and I just finished MGS 2 as well. Despite what Dan is saying about having more options and stuff, there are still going to be parts that drive him absolutely mental.

Metal Gear Solid 2 is much more of a trudge than MGS 1. It has some REALLY stupid moments, really annoying sequences and man. He's going to enjoy MGS 3 though. He'll also really enjoy the Tanker mission.

Yeesh. It took me like 10 tries to properly get the link. I kept messing up a different number each time. It's too early.

@baillie: oh yeah the tanker level will be fine. The plant area is where he's going to have to back track to struts (while remebering to deal with respawning sentries) and deal with some boss fights that I'm sure will frusrate him to no end. Although I'm not sure how well he'll adapt to needing to shoot in first person.

The one pro tip that I hope Dan has him do off screen is to get Raiden to have a level 3 grip becuase that shit was useful when I needed it.
