@mdnthrvst: Thanks for this post OP, always felt like there were negative sterotypes about 4chan thanks to all the dudebro amateur Anons who thinks its all about being a dick with no consequences. Just stay incognito and don't act like an ass and you'll be fine out there.

Why aren't you working at Netherealm?

The GTA manuals/maps are awesome.

Witcher 2's was pretty cool too.

Trailer tried to hard to be funny and appeal to dudebros. Boob jokes aren't what makes Deadpool funny.

• Did you shoot the girl in the street?
  I shot her. I also gave the gun to the woman in Episode One. No one deserves to suffer.
• Did you abandon Lilly?
  I did not. I figured I would be able to deal with her later, but she ends up stealing the damn RV! I hope our paths cross again and not in a Lilly-shows-up-last-minute-to-redeem-herself kind of way. She is a horrible, broken woman and deserves what comes to her. Fingers crossed for her showing up and Kenny shooting her in the middle of her first words.
• Did you fight Kenny?
  I managed to talk him down. I honestly did not see a conversation point that would lead to a fight. Maybe that's because the only time I didn't side with him was when I stayed silent in Episode One when everyone thought Duck was bitten. I feel like I'm one of the few players on Kenny's side.
• Did you shoot Duck?
  Yes.
• Did you help Omid?
  I thought I did help him by pushing him off the bridge, but I guess this means whether or not I grabbed him before Christa? I grabbed her first, just because that's where the cursor was. Then, she we was screaming "You should of helped him!" I realized that I choose the stronger of the two anyway. But he made it on board by himself, busted leg and all.

Ben was not in any of my Episode Four previews. Probably not a good sign. That's the one Gary Whitta is writing, right? He doesn't seem like a character that Gary would leave alive. Omid looks really bad. I have a feeling he's going to die and Christa is going to push Lee in to a bad spot with Clementine.

A crazy guess, but I think the guy on the walkie is either one of the bandits that the crazy woman with the video camera at the end of Episode Two was talking about or the man at the end of Episode One that went to look for his friends. I think the bandit scenario is more likely since they placed the clip of the crazy woman in the "Last Time On..." segment.

Lily becomes a minor character in the comics during the Prison/Woodbury story-arc. She gets whats coming to her, but also kind of redeems herself at the same time. She'll also be the focus of the sequel to the Rise of the Governor novel.

Since I have the feeling this will end up having that Snake/Liquid creation cameo, they probably wont be in the same room or talk to each other, ever. Since they'd have to change the VA for either one of them (althought double the Hayter is fine by me,) I think Hayter should stay the voice of Naked/Solid Snake.

Holy balls.

CD's. Because of that dumbass "Only one PC per iPod" system iTunes uses, when one of my computers broke I lost all of my music except the 20 songs I bought through the store. And I have too many CD's to just rebuy them digitally.

Snake and Liquid don't need an origin story. Most of Snake's story is known, while Liquid is the mysterious one. What we do know is: He was British SAS, captured as a POW during the Gulf War. After that, he went AWOL and was hellbent on taking down the Patriots(Que MGS1). In Peace Walker, they wanted to include a bit with Liquid, to show us exactly how this happened, but we never got to see that. So it's my thought process that we'll see it in this game.

This is most likely the story of how Big Boss and Zero fell out, hence the name "Ground Zeroes". In MGS1, Big Boss is referred to as the worlds greatest mercenary. We haven't seen that yet. We've seen his rise to Big Boss in MGS3. His rise to private military contracts in Portable Ops(Or rather the idea, but disregard Portable Ops, that game was just awful). The rise of Outer Heaven in Peace Walker, and now the fallout between him and Zero, which causes him to become the worlds greatest mercenary leading the worlds greatest PMC: Outer Heaven.

I'm excited for the story implications here. In MG1 and MG2, Big Boss was a "terrorist" who used extreme methods such as children soldiers and other dastardly things. MGS4 tells us that, no, Big Boss wasn't actually as evil as he appeared to be. He was pushed too far by Zero, and faced with the threat of The Patriots of basically taking over the world, so he did what he had to do to stop them. But, it would be interesting to see it as it happens. To see Big Boss get pushed over that mental edge for the last time. To see him train Sniper Wolf in the art of sniping and Solid Snake in CQC.

The implications of this game are severe and we don't even know the plot. It's easy to lose yourself in speculation. It's also exciting to look forward to something again.

EDIT: Also, the reasons Snake and Liquid don't need an origin story is because they weren't really close before MGS1. So, they knew of each other, they just didn't really do anything about it.

Thats all true. I meant that the game might end up following Solid/Liquids creation. But will probably have Big Boss as central character. Kojima has said he still wants to follow Snake, despite having him die sometime after 4. Hopefully that's more of a prequel thing rather than retconing and making it a little more convoluted than the timeline already is.

Unless they get the old writers, or decent new ones, Im not interested.
