Metal Gear Scanlon this week?

Was hoping for more than one episode this week. I understand last week was the return from PAX, and then they did a Demo Derby, which was cool, but man I can't get enough of this series.

It's still just Wednesday! Time is abound.

Time abounds?

Time. We have time.

I have to admit I've anxiously checking the site every few hours looking for the next episode, I'm absolutely loving the series too

I sure hope so!

It'll probably happen.

It needs to happen, you can't just give a little bit of Scanlon, and then take it away!

I'm getting the shakes over here.

I'm guessing they'll do one episode this week. I'm in the same boat as you guys; these last few weeks, Giant Bomb has basically become the "site where I can watch Metal Gear Scanlon", with very little other content that has grabbed me. I hope Drew and Dan will find the time to do two episodes again from next week on.

I keep checking the site for the new video as well hopefully it will be here sooner than I think.
Will this series go all the way up to MGS5 I would really love that.

@teaoverlord:

I need to know WHEN WHEEEN now? soon? tomorrow? ahhh the insanity

It'll be tomorrow morning at 3AM @zokamoka, or something like that, based on previous releases.

TIME TO GET HYPE (COME ON RIDE THE TRAIN)

I wonder what will happen this episode!

@geraltitude:
I didnt think I would get a reply lol, cant wait =)

I need my fix man!

Any content this week?

At this point I'd be extatic to watch a livestream of the gang eating lunch

hah! me too duder, been refreshing GB like crazy. Never been as addicted to any feature as I have been to MGS. If you're as new to the site as your post count hints then Welcome welcome!

edit: gross, terrible use of "been" in this post.

Can't wait to see Drew navigate the cave of wolves. He might do it in one go though.

Is there a reason for the general lack of content this week after the huge wave of stuff last week?

@barrock:

PAX

It's not an endurance run unless it's daily.

WOULD SOMEBODY JUST HIT THE DAMN H BUTTON???

WOULD SOMEBODY JUST HIT THE DAMN H BUTTON???

I find that Drew is enduring quite a lot.

Metal Gear Scanlon sold me on a premium account. God I hope they do the rest of the series.

Tapping the vein in my arm waiting for an ETA

Why are they not livestreaming it? It seems dumb not to.

@berserk007: tie me off! I need those men inside me!

@Basm321 where I am from, Gear is actually another name for heroin. So you are not far off.

How many traps will Drew fall in on his way to the PSG-1? That's the real question.

@splodge: Learning is fun! Where are you from?

Edit: I forgot I came here to whine about waiting forever for content this week... Maybe I need more things to do...

@basm321 Ireland! Thats where all the best gearrrrrrr is

@splodge: Oh. Well we have some pretty great herb in the US. And it also has a nickname that is a thing that is generally made of metal. Pot. But that is probably a bit more common. Yaaaaay learning! It's almost as fun as watching dan and drew play metal gear. Soon it will be too late to have cake while watching... Or maybe just early enough!

@basm321 actually, cake is also a drug.

@splodge: that was splendid. Thank you, I'm saving that video and going to check out their other skits

Sign my petition to outlaw dihydrogenmonoxid?

I'm glad to see i'm not the only one.

I'm really hoping it pops up in an hour... it not being on the 'Coming up on Giant Bomb' list makes me nervous!

Whats the ETA?

I'm betting this will go up as soon as I leave for work. F my life, f different timezones and f my shitty job.

And I won't really have time to watch it until sunday now.

Still waiting. I have the shakes!

It'll probably go up this afternoon. Drew got tired of waking up at 3 am to upload it.

@basm321: The show is called Brass Eye. It's a spoof news magazine program. It caused a lot of controversy after the final seventh episode was taken off the air. That episodes deals with pedophilia, and it's hilarious. Pedophilia is not funny. But aspects of the extreme paranoia and media shitstorm that surrounds it can be. Brass Eye is amazing, start to finish. ALso, understand that the vast majority of people featured or specially interviewed in the show were celebrities / public figures who were unaware they were having a joke played on them, and went along with any old bullshit because they were getting on the telly.

The "reporter" in brass eye is a man called Chris Morris, who created the show. He is a comedic genius. You might remember him as Denholm Rheynholm In the IT Crowd (if you haven't seen that either you better watch it!). He had an utterly bizarre radio series called Blue Jam, which is a bizarre mish mash of prank phone calls, music, and comedy skits that were at times almost violently surreal. This show is amazing, and at times quite scary(?). Its fucking weird.

Also notable is his black comedy Four Lions which follows the misguided adventures of four english Muslims who dedicate themselves to Jihad. It stands on its own, but th econtroversy was too much for some. (Personally I love it, it's very funny and very weird, and unexpectedly sympathetic).

You will also find his name all over things like In The Loop (created by Armando Iannuci, his old radio producer), The Thick Of It (excellent britsh comedy about politics, a must see) and many more random things.

How does this all relate to Metal Gear Scanlon you ask?

Well, I am hoping that by the time I have finished this post, it will be released!

Ima go check.

EDIT --------------------

It's not there yet :(

I'll just leave this excerpt of Malcolm Tucker cursing up a storm from The Thick of It (this man is going to be the next Dr Who btw) and go back to refreshing the page over and over.

You all share my pain. At least put it on the "Coming Up" and free us from this compulsion!

I'm playing through MGS again because of Drew and Dan. I played it through maybe twice when if first came out and it is absolutely amazing how much I remember about the bosses, secrets, etc. It's cool to see someone else experience it for the first time.

Do we need a Metal Gear Scanlon waiting room forum? :O

I do believe it's called a watiting room.

So are we doing this shit or what fellas?

There are Gears to be Metal'd people!!! Let's go go go!

This is my favorite premium content on the site. I keep checking and still no episode 6. There has been a big lack of content this week.

CBSi has sold them to FOX, so they have to rebuild the site to be more patriotic. Dan has been replaced with Glenn Beck.
