Metal Gear, RP, Christmas - In That Order

[said_scarlett]

So, I started Metal Gear 3 yesterday. I...really don't have much to say at this point. I started it a touch too close to bed, as I didn't realize that 'playing' it meant 'a small fraction where you can actually move Snake, but mostly you're watching a movie'. Which I only really understood bits and pieces of, as I was tired when I was playing. I grasp the actual mission, which I suppose is the important stuff. The random information about Godzilla and Snake's penis? Not so much getting what that has to do with anything.

Essentially, I haven't actually played enough to comment on the gameplay or plot or combat or anything much at all. It's a damn pretty game, though, I can say that. And I find it funny, so I just hope it was meant to be funny.

I'll be playing more today, and will hopefully get to some actual playing. And now I'm playing about 5 games at once. I have a problem.

Grocery shopping this morning, laundry today, the usual. Though all kinds of fun and hilarious and horrible things are going on at my various RPs. Christmas season has hit at CU, and Henry's...well, let's just say he's in a very playful mood. :D damned is a bit more full of angst.

Speaking of RPs.... *prods rewritten folks* Have we hit another little dead period?

Anyway, I've got to get dressed and whatnot to head to the store. Thank you everybody who left presents under the tree, I got a kick out of them! :D Save for whoever it was who gave me a lump of coal and told me I sucked. No, I lie, I did get a kick out of that. How can you take an un-capitalized 'u suck' seriously?

I'M NOT DEAD! Have just been a little busy with eating, shopping, Christmas decorating and I've got a houseload of people descending upon me this weekend *facepalm*

I'm not sure what we've got coming up next? I think Shana was going to talk to Keman the morning after, but I'm not sure if Emi threw up a log or not yet...

Hahahahah, tis the season! :D

The Shadow/Myre thread is still going, and I know we have Rena and Shana tomorrow at some point, and there's going to be council stuffs. I know there's a Keman post up, but I think it's a post-fete one.

[chaneystarr.livejournal.com]

Heee, okay as soon as the Shana/Keman thread gets through I will poke you for some Shana/Rena. Hopefully Shana will be calmed down by then.

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

Hurrah! And I shall poke Cath about our current thread, if I catch her online. :D

Rena is all a-tizzy about wedding plans, perhaps some shall rub off on Shana. :D

[chaneystarr.livejournal.com]

I poked her via texts! She was at the inlaws, hehe.

Shana facepalms and starts looking panicky again :|

Yep! I have a log up. I just replied to my own post to move him back to the estate. XD;

[chaneystarr.livejournal.com]

OHHH! No wonder I couldn't find it. >.>

MGS3

OH GOD

Yeah, MGS3 is supposed to be funny.

Have you got the Snake Eater version or the Subsistence version? The Subsistence version has a bonus disc with Metal Gear 1 and 2 on it (not Metal Gear Solid 1 and 2, the late-eighties-early-nineties MSX games).

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

Hahahah, oh good, I feel better now!

Snakeeater. :D A friend had a spare copy so sent it along to me so I could finally play the games. :D Oh man, I miss the late 80s games. I played them all the time after I finished homework.

[fireholly.livejournal.com]

Pretty much the only reason I want Subsistence is for the first two games. They have retranslated scripts and everything! (Thinking about it, this might not be a good thing because 'THIS IS BIG BOSS... WIND BARRIER IS EXTENDED ON THE ROOFTOP. LOOK FOR THE BOMBBLASTSUIT TO BE INTO THE BARRIER.' is one of my favourite pieces of writing in the whole series, but there you go.)

If you're nostalgic, it's really easy to emulate them. You should take a look at the MSX version of Metal Gear, because it's quite different to the NES version. There's also some incredibly big differences between the NES 'Metal Gear 2: Snake's Revenge' and the MSX Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, which are caused primarily by them being completely different games.

Also, it's worth checking out the non-canon GameBoy Color game, Ghost Babel. It was basically a fanservice nostalgia game for people who liked 2D Metal Gear and didn't want to play the 3D ones, and therefore probably the best 2D Metal Gear made.

Not fair! I wanna play! XD

I would just like to make it known that Metal Gear Solid 3 is hands down THE most beautiful, heartbreaking, incredible game I've ever played. It is right up there with Ocarina of Time. It literally made me laugh and made me cry. It's a masterpiece.

Give it some time. ♥

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

It's a pretty game indeed! I'm not too far into it - and suspect I won't ever get far in it - but it's definitely entertaining me!

[burningvigor.livejournal.com]

MGS certainly has a humorous quality to it, so you'll probably be laughing at parts. But uhh, it's most likely going to tug at your heartstrings, too. Anyway, the games are fantastic and I'm so excited that you're trying one out. :3

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

Eh, we'll see. I'll be honest, I'm not terribly far into it but suspect I won't ever get far into it. I'm really, really not a fan of stealth based games. But it's damn pretty!

[enigmablade.livejournal.com]

We can play together! I can has gud stealths! XD

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

YAY! It shall be a group venture! :D
