    So I wonder if it will be Drew driving with Dan helping or Dan playing while Drew tries to comprehend the plot?

    Wow! Crazy! Super crazy!

    My favorite game of all time on my favorite website of all time (the whole thing? really??).

    I'm so excited to hear the Konami opening jingle, you have no idea.

    This is great. I also picked up a PS1 version of MGS Integral for next to nothing the other day. It's an amazing game. Curiously the Japanese "Best of Konami" only has the English voices. Guess Hayter is the best. Will Drew play through stealthily or with guns blazing?

    Episodes past the first could be live, which sounds like a good enough distinction to me.

    Also, every Endurance Run has been daily videos.

    I really hope they play mgs2 at some point as well. Best MGS to watch and the best one overall.

    As long as Dan can avoiding spoiling it(more than he already has, quite frankly), I think Drew could have a great time!

    I'm excited to see how it turns out.

    This is MGS1; so, besides the last cutscene, I don't think any are long enough to be their own entire episode.

    Unless you consider the torture sequence to be a cutscene (which it basically is).

    I want them to do the Easter egg where you can see Meryl doing pushups in her underwear because who doesn't do that every time they play?

    ehhh I wouldn't consider it a cutscene. Even then, that isn't enough for a whole episode. (unless these are only 30min ones) I think Dan and Drew could make a good time out of that torture sequence.

    Darn Communists, that's who.

    I hope Dan does chime in with some little things like that.

    I can't wait to hear Drew's reaction to such riveting dialogue as "She kind of wiggles her behind."

    "Way of walking, huh??"

    One of my favorite games, super excited for this.

    Oh man. I have the HD collection and have thought of playing through that, since MGSIV was my first experience (and I really enjoyed it). I just don't know that I have the tenacity and patience for it though. I will watch the shit out of this, though. Good on Drew.

    Same here I had no idea what was happening in MGS4 but really enjoyed it. I wouldn't mind playing 2 3 and peace walker though at some stage.

    It just kind of feels like they're trying to exclude people here, which is a little unfortunate. I'm a premium member, have been as long as I could. And I'll remain that, probably, until the site shuts down (hopefully not until the apocalypse). But one of the reasons I'm here is because of content like this getting me hooked, if this stuff isn't there for free members, what drives them to become the dedicated audience?

    I love the metal gear games, but I couldn't make my way through Mgs1. I tried it a few years back and after an hour or two I felt like I was going to throw up. I don't usually feel that way when playing games, but the visuals just had that affect on me for some reason. I'm glad I can finally experience the game, and how better than with Dan and Drew at the helm.

    My journey into metal gear solid was a coincidence and now I am really happy that I played this series. It was my next door neighbor who bought a used copy of MGS 3 for ps2 and he wanted to play it on his ps3 but it was not compatible. He asked me If i wanted the game and I said sure and immediately started playing it while I was fascinated at the story.

    I've played MGS for the first time about 6 months ago on the Vita and I must say it's still a good game! After that I've played 2 and 3 as well, now I can't wait for The Phantom Pain :{

    1. Metal Gear Land

    2. Warcraft Universe

    3. Forgotten Realms

    Bring back a pen and paper feature and I could not be happier with Gianbomb

    Extremely excited for this! I figure either it's going to be one of the best features they've ever done, or it's going to straight up give me an aneurysm.

    Although they really need to do the entire series, not just MGS1!

    I have been hoping for an MGS feature for a long time. Biggest game franchise of all time.(still ongoing story/never rebooted). Its kind of the most important game series ever in an academic sense AT LEAST.

    It's in the "emulation menu" or whatever it's called that comes up when you hit the PS button while playing a PS1 game on PS3.
