Metal Gear Scanlon: V - Part 15

WOOO!

Get those bad guys!

YEAH!

Goobs get got.

inb4 all those tranq dart goobers.

riot smg ftw!

Lawrence Kansas is where a famous (or infamous) massacre took place during the civil war.

@bybeach: for some reason, this news doesn't surprise me

Did anyone else experience the majors chopper exploding the moment he disembarks?

Dan has really weird views on what "normal people" are "supposed" to do.

When you were looking at side opps you had another rescue mother base soldiers. More pictures to show to paz! I mean I am sure you want to figure out what is going on there right?

"Get the fuck out of there!" Great delivery.

Dan- there is no Magnum PA ... its Magnun PI and Tom Selleck starred in it

Oh my god that first death.

Holy shit that beautiful.

------------

"You could've called in another helicopter."

"Yeah, but it costs 30 grand."

Drew, I hate to break it to you, but you have over 1.3 million GMP. 30 G's is barely a dent.

@danryckert you can totally kill him with the pistol, you're right! It just takes an absurd amount of shots and the balls to not listen to Ocelot/Miller.

@zaldar: No, Drew doesn't care about Metal Gear's story.

dan, you do know that boasters are a thing, right?

time to start doing some side missions simply for fuel and finding it wandering around and fultoning stuff. Can't just mainline these open world games!

@kasaioni: hmm I am not sure. He doesn't do this for the open world gameplay the story is where it is at in these games. Why this one is not the best to my mind ...

Drew should totally...help out that Legendary Gunsmith guy.

Did that last deployment say 30 days?

Get a vehicle in your sortie Drew, then you can keep quiet in the field. That mission if you wait out the conversation turns in to a huge battle at a base where the target tried to get on to a helicopter.

Riot SMG is so fun.

I thought heroism is used to gate access to higher skilled soilders you could folton.

Dan with a HUGE fuck up at the start. Oh dear...

At 42 min, how can Dan consider an S or S+ solider to be "really good in my game, even 100 hours in"?

Seems like most people are swimming in S and S+ by the end game.

@aziridine said:

Not just that, how could he not realize that it was a "boaster" and not remember coming across such outliers in his own game.

I'm starting to think that he hypnotized himself into forgetting all the details of MGSV after he played it. Or maybe that's actually Van Ryckert sitting in the chair and he only thinks he played through the game, while the real Dan is actually hard at work making Mario Maker levels.

Does Drew not know how to scroll down on the development list?

@existence: it's really off-putting!

I can't wait for D & D's playthrough of Persona 5.

@losdub: Magnum TA baybay. He was a wrestler. A rugged wrestler.

Along with Kojima Tracker, we need a V Scanlon soldier roll-call for the codenames of his final team.

@existence: that and his bordering-on-jingoistic views have been pretty off-putting of late.

Anyone else muttering at their screen for Drew to check development buddy items? I think he can probably research tranq rifle for Quiet.

Not sure about "swimming" in S+. S+ are still completely noteworthy and are rarely seen in the field. S, yea, I think most of my base is S at this point.

Also, to be fair, identifying boasters in the field was something I never did either, as I'd usually forget who I fultoned before i ever got to the end of the mission regardless of what happened, so I wouldn't put 2 and 2 together that dude wasn't as good as advertised.

I thought the whole joke for the Ace Venture 2 rhino scene was that the rhino was giving birth to him and not a rhino?

3.0 days

When I went up against 'The Man on Fire', on my 3rd or 4th attempt it just happened to rain and I got the hell outta there.

I feel that was the cheat way, but I have no control over the weather.

Drew: "Is this the sort of thing I can see from the map, where they go, because I've tagged him?"

IS DREW FINALLY GONNA LOOK AT HIS MAP?!?!?

...nope. False alarm...

Oh my god the tank part. I just fucking lost it

Of course a 'tache is cool if you're doing the whole Movember thing.

When @drew is auto-assigning his staff, he's only doing it on the list of Combat staff, not all staff. But I don't know how people actually try to get useful tips to him or @danryckert. Anyone had any success with it? I know it's not a big deal, but thought it was worth sharing?

The song Baker Street probably has the best use of the saxophone ever.

Which also has a Simpsons episode with Bleeding Gums Murphy.

Haha, I was waiting through the rest of the episode to come here and say that. They should have retired the instrument after Baker Street, because it's never going to get any better than that.

It is the Call Sign of the Helo.... just like airforce one is the call sign of any plane the president is on... cause you are Ahab.

Let's not forget about Sam Elliott

If you kick people they'll wake up! :D

They need to rename this to Metal Gear of Duty.

Also, at 42:26, I can almost guarantee that guy is a boaster.

Goddamnit, Dan talks some amount of shite in this episode.

Why did Drew not take a shower before leaving on a mission..
