I've always wanted to play through the MGS Series and I'm almost there, so im going to make March the month were I play though MGS 4, MGS GZ and MGS 5 and write about it.

A little background into my love for the series and where it started. I first played Metal Gear Solid back in 2010, on a psp, yes the part where you had to repeatdly press O sucked. After starting to follow this site and hearing Metal Gear pop up every now and again I got intrigued. I played through the first one and loved it. I've never been big on stealth games but the writing, bosses and general style and presentation made me a big fan. I decided around then that this would be a series I had to play.

Life happened and it wasn't until 2015 that played through MGS 2. Again its a game I look back on very fondly and might be my favorite so far. I got obsessed with reading about post modernism after I beat it and I think I'm one of the few people that really liked the Rose codec conversations and philosophical meanderings.

I finished MGS 3 a week ago and this is where I screwed up. I read the ending and entire plot. At some point I decided I'd skip MGS 3 and MGS 4 and just play MGS 5, I've put about 23 hours into TPP. I wanted the background of Snake Eater for The Phantom Pain and figured I would just watch Metal Gear Scanlon and read up on the plot. About 4 episodes in I knew I had to play through Snake Eater myself. It's a great game and I'm glad I did but a part of me can't help but wonder how much more I would have liked it if I hadn't spoiled it for myself.

So here I am staring at the install screen of Metal Gear Solid 4, after aquiring a PS3 on loan from a friend. I'm super excited to play and I'm going to document my progress every few days as I am dedicated to finishing up the series by the end of March so I'm conpletely free for Persona 5.

Words of encouragement, tips and general stories and love for Metal Gear Solid are all welcome!
