the really funny thing is that before i watched it i remember thinking “well whatever else people say about these games, i always like seeing what they come up with for the themed paramilitary weirdo boss villains”… and then it was like all blank slate gals who look like locker pinups from mgs2 in tactical black robot suits who say “die! dieee!!” and then wiggle at u and expire.. idk i guess it fits the themes or whatever that even the boss enemies end up feeling mass produced but what a thing to be doctrinaire about. surely the key lesson the first three mgs games took from all those action films is that the secondary villains are always the most fun to watch.

the first part of the octopus fight seemed like it would’ve been pretty fun though

This youtuber’s got just two videos but he seems to have done a really good job of covering the footy games on Saturn and DC, anyway they’re just the info I think I wanted and thanks to them I think I’ve finally found a soccer game I kinda like.

Same here, without experience with this kind of tool it did let me make some goofy little beats quickly, though i think reading the manual would help me work out what i was doing and how to make the most of it

I’m always beating this drum but the first three MGS games were cowritten by Tomokazu Fukushima and the fourth is the first in series without his involvement. His absence from MGS4 is palpable

Being in prague right now I rewatched the motorcycle chase hoping to recognize stuff… like one gate attached to the wrong bridge. If they cross the water from the flat side of town they should have started climbing aggressively.

Mgs4: over promised and under cooked. Like burnt eggs on a plane that never lands? That almost works.

I forgot I had a different youtube account sitting around from ages ago so I decided to see what I had on there.

I completely forgot about Frozen Synapse, and I remember back in the day trying to figure out how to record video from a console and I bought a whole thing that saves to like a flash card or something just so I could make one janky video of MM10 (Which apparently has 5000 views??? what???).

I can’t believe I have a 17 year old video of a game that sort of doesn’t exist (but kind of does) that is my favorite Motion Twin game (Up yours, Dead Cells [just kidding you’re still cool])

formed a studio called Watermarks that made a graphic adventure of the same name, loosely based on Shakespeare’s “The Tempest,” among other inspirations.

thought the mine of rediscovering new random dos/pc games i played in my childhood had run dry but just found another one i played but didn’t remember at all until seeing it just now

sadly rediscovering this hazy memory did not help me get any closer to understanding the nature of consciousness. what a ripoff!
