Metal Gear Scanlon: Part 01

Dan Ryckert: Your Little Brother, All Growed Up (But Not Really)

METAL GEAR?!

Oh god. The reason Dan came to this website is being realized in front of my eyes.

i hope they get to play all the games in the saga

Not a religious man, but now I sing praises to the videogame journalist-gods for sending me this gift.

I'm high on some next level hype right now

I remember renting twin snakes. I got to the part where you need the radio code from the back of the box...had to have my mom drive me back just so I could run in and write it down.

Also never beat it. Got to the part where you have to guide the missle. Has no idea what to do at the time

Hell Yeah

GRAY FOX!

Stayed up for this beautiful thing.

five five sixers... and

Metal Gear is one of my favorite video game series of all time and I hope Drew loves it.

Cant be... Metal Gear?!

I tweeted at Dan about this yesterday and he alluded to it, but I didn't expect it so soon. I'm so happy!

A Hind D an?

Oh man, that opening was mind blowing when I first saw it. Hell, this entire game was

Thank you both so much for doing this. And Jason for sitting through it :)

EDIT: I forgot how crazy awesome and ridiculous this game is.

DREW AND DAN TAKING OVER!

Well, that's lunch sorted then.

holy hell this is the best thing I never knew I wanted, hella glad I'm a subscriber right now

hooray!

Guess it's time to play through Metal Gear Solid again I guess. I really hope this series continues on to at least 2. It would be great if Drew doesn't know of The Great Ruse of Hideo Kojima that is MGS2 and MGS2 is the best in the series to boot and maybe the most insane besides 4.

I don't really get Dan's Liquid love...

If I wasn't a subscriber already I'd totally subscribe just for this. Dan getting hired has been like one of the best things to happen to Giant Bomb, no doubt.

And you're also forgetting the ending of MGS2. Them trying to figure it out would probably be pretty funny. I've seen that ending multiple times and I'm still not quite sure what happens.

brb, subscribing.

Was hoping they'd play Twin Snakes as some of the changes are pretty interesting and it's a lot more watchable with the redone voices too.

Definitely need an 'H' button on my controllers. You know, for contextual things.

Wait is this early??

Fuck i want to play along...

Man that escalated quickly, that really got out of hand fast.

I wish this was an Endurance Run of the series, but hey, this is awesome anyway. :P

Kept you waiting, huh?

Geez - I never played any MGS games, but I've heard some random plot snippets and memes, so I always figured it's somewhat absurd. But I didn't realize it's constantly this silly. Just amazing.

Great new feature!

So glad this is happening, Dan is bringing some good content to the site, great idea. Really hope they keep going and get into all the metal gears!

Fucking YES!

Yeaah ! i really like this feature. Have not play MGS in many years.

Dum dum....dum dum dum...................................dum dum....dum dum dum

I almost feel as if my entire life has led to this moment. The great intersection of two of my favorite things, Metal Gear, and Giant Bomb.

Giant...Bomb...?

"Silly" is a good word to describe the whole MGS franchise, really.

Great new feature. Hope for a longer episode next, 2 hours+! :)

TAKE ME WITH YOU

First episode and this is already fantastic.

Drews Solid Snake voice is exceptional.

Thanks for doing this guys. It's good shit.

Solid Scanlon is the greatest super soldier of our time!

"Yello?"

Best catchphrase ever.
