Happenstance

Dan Ryckert just has so many stories like that, its nuts! One of my favourites was how he used to just sit next to the door at a bar and card people as they came in, despite the fact he didnt work there lol.

Well it'll be perfect for me if it arrives tomorrow. I dont work Fridays and got Monday off for the bank holiday so that'd be a nice long weekend of MGS.

Simply Games have claimed my copy has been dispatched (not sure how much I believe them though after the Persona Q delay)

Apparently Konami have asked retailers to hold off sending the games out a few days early, even with the bank holiday on Monday. Really hope they ignore that as I want to get the game as early as possible, enjoy it over the long weekend!

I've only been to the cinema once on my own but never really found it an issue. Restaurants I doubt I would care about eating on my own, I just dont go to them all that often without other people.

Lol yep, I was just looking at those. Kind of tempted by one of the hoodies for Winter. Be interesting to see what other designs they add.

I may have let myself get a bit too hyped for MGSV and bought a Big Boss figure to go with my ever growing collection

Downloaded MGS2 again onto my Vita last night. Not expecting to make much progress on it before 5 comes out but thought it would be nice to play again for a bit. Maybe even finally get better at sneaking!

....Yeah I'll be getting it. They really can just slap Persona 4 on anything these days and I'll buy it. Im so weak.

It's interesting listening to their thoughts now because they did a special MGS4 spoiler episode of the Bombcast years ago and they all absolutely loved the game. Jeff makes a complete 180 in this episode on something he thought years ago.

I just finished listening to it actually. I don't remember any Peace Walker spoilers, just the end of 4.

We should start placing votes now with the game being so close if David Hayter will be in the game. I'm gonna say yes and the very end of the game will be a time jump to the start of Metal Gear 1 for MSX/NES recreated with Solid Snake.

My games for the end of this year (Bolds are getting on release, maybes I havent decided if I'll get them straight away or early next year during the lull): Metal Gear Solid V Tony Hawks 5 (Maybe) Transformers Devastation (Maybe) Uncharted Collection (Maybe) Tales of Zestiria (Maybe) WWE 2K16 (Maybe) Need for Speed (Maybe) Fallout 4 Star Wars Battlefront Persona 5 (Still not sure this will make its US release date but if it does then im importing.

I think I'd heard about the iOS release, just didnt know about the extra settings.

I did wonder why he hadnt included himself. Not all of us know what he looks like.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-08-19-ios-version-of-final-fantasy-7-rolling-out-now Kind of tempted to buy this, turn off random battles and just enjoy the story!

My biggest problem with Watch Dogs was just how bland the world felt. Coming from open world games like GTA V and Sleeping Dogs it was just this boring grey area.

Yeah. I get what they mean about DS9 though. I hated it when it first started and it took years of people telling me how good it was for me to power through the first season or so and really start enjoying it. Its like with TNG I guess, that gets great when they get the collars and Riker gets his full beard. DS9 gets good when Sisko gets his beard and shaves his head! lol I enjoyed Voyager but it was definitely an aquired taste. Especially if you couldnt get past Janeway's voice. She should have grown a beard and everything would have been fine!

Lol. I like it as its own weird, anime-ish thing. I still have the original as well so thats ok.

I really want them to do a series now chronicling Dan's journey through Star Trek TNG

I've played Ground Zeroes and bits of pieces of the other games but I've never been any good at the stealth (I was a lot better 4 onwards but my PS3 died while I was playing that one. I do own all of them I think in one form or another. Even got myself a copy of Twin Snakes last year on GC.

Yeah I watched most of Dan and Drew watching that last night (fell asleep for a while in the middle) but the end at least was very helpful. Gonna watch them playing Ground Zeroes tonight!

Im still not a massive fan of Henderson myself. I do think he's gotten better from a few years ago when I would complain about him every week but still not good enough.
