What if Metal Gear was a metaphor for Kojima's relationship with the bigwigs at Konami? And we were all too blind to have noticed it. Now that "Big Boss" has refused to cooperate in making another Metal Gear, The Patriots over at Konami are looking for ways to staff up new studios to take up his legacy. Just gotta wait and see if Kojima falls into a coma, gets a robot arm, and starts an uprising with a new studio using Kickstarter.

What if the "Philosophers' Legacy" is actually just... "Kojima's Legacy"?

So, am I getting this right in assuming the character you play is a vegan? If so, wouldn't the fact the local diner doesn't serve any vegan options, just deepen her plight and reveal the struggle of small town middle american vegan's and as such ad to the feelings teenage angst and not being understood? Couldn't that be exactly what the devs were going for?

Except that Maxine actually orders the belgian waffles...

Try harder.

So, in actuality, this thread is: "Character in videogame orders belgian waffles. Enjoys waffles."

Wat... Get over yourself. Max is not an extension of you or your personal ideals.

All this fake outrage lately is getting out of hand.

Most recent outrage is sincere and you perhaps just don't relate to it.

But yeah, this right here is prime fake outrage to kind of make a joke of and troll said sincere outrage.

Woah. You might be onto something. I could see it as a further reinforcement of how out of place she feels in this small town.

Though, again, I know Egg is joking and clearly trying to be "satirical".

What exactly is "Phoenix Down"? Is it actually a feather from a phoenix and there're phoenix farmers out there in Final Fantasy land raising, killing and plucking phoenixes for what must be a massive industry since their product can literally raise the dead? Is it done humanely?

Don't get me started on people huffing "ether" to get some "magic points".

While their exact form differs game to game, Phoenix Down is indeed a reference to down feathers of birds. Traditionally, they're exquisite feathers, not necessarily from the Phoenix but presented as an offering to the summoned Phoenix who then raises the dead. Similar to spells like "Life", the item is channeling magic(often from the Espers) to achieve a miraculous result.

Though, in FF lore, it's possible to be too far gone. Such as is the case with people killed in the wars, who have died of old age, or ones like Aerith, killed by a magical weapon. The Phoenix's power to raise the dead is not absolute.

Great to see your ever-brightening smile, Lina! I know this has been a difficult process in so many ways, and I admire your willingness to share bits and pieces of this with GB folks. The change, both physically and personally, is awesome to see. <>

Have you all seen Dr. Tracksuit's cool sunglasses? Jeff doesn't wear sunglasses, and he definitely doesn't own anything -that- cool.

Dr. Tracksuit is a classy ass motherfucker who lays down mad rhymes, whoops anyone that stands in his way, and gives his gawky "friend" Jeff a chance to help out sometimes. That's all. End of story.
