That canopy design while looking cool also looks like a death trap. It's easy to see something bad happening like Sainz's crash in P3. He hits the wall and dislodges the canopy forward in front of his head, goes into the tyres, has the canopy pushed back into him and in worst case gets decapitated. Sounds like an improbable freak accident but so were the other cases of people dying in racing lately.
@danryckert, Most cheeses are made with starter bacteria from the Lactococcus, Lactobacillus, or Streptococcus families.
Completely pointless, even though he suggests he has reasons for not eating certain foods he's lying as he's continually told of foods he eats that breaks his own rules and is like "hurr if I don't think about it it's ok" which makes all his choices arbitrary.
I'm sure that Jeff and Dan noticed that the Black Site map is Camp Omega, they just didn't say anything because, as Jeff expressed on the podcast he doesn't entertain or give credence to any theories of cut content. It isn't unbelievable they would reuse assets, and it makes prefect sense that they would, to make a different map area.
"I'm glad to see that all these Metal Gear Online maps are original content instead of just being, like, maps from the single player."
(literally every single map they'd played so far was a converted single player map)
I'm pretty sure they didn't notice
There's nothing wrong with this statement as none of the maps are "just being, like, maps from the single player." The Black Site is much more extensive and only the main base area is similar, it isn't "just being, like, maps from the single player".
But more to the point, saying they're converted single player maps is kinda disingenuous, it's like saying most areas in Afghanistan are "converted" from the same thing because most of them have the same temporary soviet building structure in them even though the layout is completely different and I don't know about you but I never came across a stone fort arch on top of a valley in Afghanistan in the single player.
I went down a deep /r/metalgearsolid rabbit hole and got sucked into all the Episode 3 speculation. Seeing Camp Omega as an MP map just makes me sad it wasn't in TPP as promised.
I was waiting for Jeff or Dan to pick up on the fact they were playing in camp omega on the black site map.

Royalties. You know why we buy games? Because they're good. Because they'll last us a long time. Because we want to see where the story goes.
We don't buy games because they have one of the 40 SAG voice-actors that the game and anime-dubbing industry ever uses. Everybody involved in the creation of a game should get a bonus, if advertising and PR is found to have been helpful, they should get a piece of that cake also. 10 million sales should not only reward the suits at the publisher.
Additional point - If SAG want voice-actor get royalty bonuses, so should the people directing them in the studio. So should the studio personnel, the audio engineers, the writers/translators. Without those people the voice-actors would sound like complete shit (like they did in the first English Tales of Xilia trailer on a technical level.)
(I bought a game for the sake of the voice actors once in my life, Chaos Wars. Will do it again if we get an FF12 HD remaster.)
SAG actors get royalties because they are SAG. That's what they're a guild for, to make sure they get paid for their performance.
It isn't about good sales, it's straight up the performance talent gets a cheque every time their performance is "sold" because that's the rights they have as SAG members and this is the same in every other performance industry with unions and guilds.
This is how it works in the music and film and any other industry that involves recording a performance and it's extremely important to their revenue. My cousin has been in a few adverts and gets paid royalties every time they're on tv. It's been going on as long as actors associations/guilds/unions have existed and isn't some sort of "vedjo james problem".
@mokan: People's accents can fluctuate depending on where they are and who they're surrounded by. Danny's accent when he came back from Ireland and was on the F1 podcast was the strongest I've ever heard him when speaking normally. I notice it a lot because my family is from all over the home nations and it's noticeable when our accents slip back to whatever our surroundings are and start using more regional phrases.
