Metal Gear Scanlon: 3: Part 09

Metal Gear!?

Kept you waiting huh !

fingers crossed...

At least this episode wont consist of a 90 minute boss fight.

I want some more!

Can't wait to see this episode's comment section meltdown!

This totally snuck up on me.

Aww Yisss

According to the spring cleaning stream this one could be a doozy...

I totally understand Drew's thought process on The Fury boss fight. I too sometimes get trapped into the mindset of playing a game the way I think the developers intended for it to be played, rather than just playing it the way I think is easiest.

Totally missed the opportunity to add "And then they played Metal Gear Solid 3."

lewd!

family website, guys.

One minute I'm watching a video of the gang knifing up boxes, and a few minutes later it disappears completely from the site and is replaced with this. Is this some Kojima level trolling?

"2018"

I think it's always funny to remind people that the Big Shell incident takes place in 2009.

Alright, let's do this!

Damn thought I caught up and now this

Metal Gear?!

its 4:20 bro bruh breh

The journey continues how long till shotgun? 0:25

This series made me buy Metal Gear Legacy. Just starting MGS3, I gotta catch up before I watch the rest of the series!

How many people do you think are gonna bitch in the comments about how Drew isn't playing the way they think he should?

I will never pronounce Imgur like imager. It's their fault for spelling it stupid like "gif".

And they aren't 8-tracks, but Homestar Runner's been using Genesis carts as coasters for years.

THANKS FOR GETTING "TWIST AND SHOUT" STUCK IN MY HEAD, DREW

I need to watch Macgruber.

Well, let's see. We seem to have two camps here: Those who really want to see Drew play it stealthily, and those who are happy no matter what he does. Logically, it follows that if Drew played stealthily, no one would complain.

@simpsonsfan: It's like playing Splinter Cell as a third person shooter. It's just not right. But whatever, it's still fun to watch the frustration.

Dan you nailed exactly how helpful to be in this episode. Amazing.

Dan the game that you play in the nightmare is a prototype for Nanobreaker.

Totally agree.

And props to Drew as well; he had less trouble with the Groznyj Grad exterior than I did earlier this week!

That Dracula codec call at the end is a follow-up to the Vampire Bat call. Kind of a non sequitur without that context.

@xanadu: Remember to pay attention to the dates of those save files, this episode was recorded last week Thursday.

After watching a bit of this... hilarious thumbnail, Jason.

so that's why big boss had hallucinations about a burning Volgin in the MGS 5 trailer,he gave too much torture!!

Yeah Dan, that was the perfect amount of helpfulness. Telling him about the mask; telling him to call people at the right times. (Although it was funny watching Drew be confused as to how to change his face).

Luckily I don't think we're going to get any other misleading codec calls.

Also I wonder how Drew is going to find MGSV if he found that torture scene genuinely disturbing? Or maybe he just thought it was weird. Not that either is an illegitimate response.

oh my, Volgin confirmed bi-curious? also is Raiden wearing a thong, what a weirdo......

Man, I REALLY REALLY HOPE he gets to see the soldier chat when he reloads. Its so cool and oddly sweet.

I cant wait for the next boss fight. I wonder how many of will show up.

You did good, Drew, ya did good.

That was a pretty good episode. Part of me was worried that Drew would end up shooting Raikov during that early rampage. There's a funny thing you can do while dressed as him. Go outside the facility, and punch the patrolling guards. They'll actually thank you for hitting them.

Another tip, what Volgin says about your body reflects on how you've played the game and the number of surgeries you've performed on yourself.

@danryckert

Dan, I really hope you advise Drew not to remove the tracker in Snake, if he goes into the surgery mode next time. It means more guards ahead, but you'll get a really funny moment with Eva in the cave if left in as she tries to remove it herself.

I only played MGS 3 once when it came out, so I forgot how awesome the game gets as it goes on. I can't wait for more of these!

I've never not fucked up this part. Hope Drew has a better time than I do. At least he's got those cigs.

Dan, that pizza sounds horrible, but if you find a girl that doesn't dump you as soon as you bring it up, maybe she's the one!

Edit: Of fucking course. Every part in these games that I have problems with, Drew breezes through.

I love this series! Are they going to play MGS 4, Peace Walker and Ground Zeroes?

It's cute when people assume that Drew is ever going to touch MGS V.

Why? I'm not saying he's gonna do a Metal Gear Scanlon, but wouldn't a person who is enjoying the MGS series want to play the new one?

Whoa, I didn't know that cutscene was avoidable. I've played this game at least three times and had no idea about that.

Huh?
