Just remember it's out on the 11th of September. The 11th of September. NOT September the 11th. DEFINITELY NOT 9/11. THE ELEVENTH OF SEPTEMBER.

So this seems like it's probably pretty good?

10 at Gamespot too. Seen a couple of 8s leaking out elsewhere. Looking good at any rate.

I was watching the Solid Scanlon feature where they were watching the Phantom pain trailers and I must say, anyone who thinks this game isn't going to be layered with Kojima-typical insanity needs to re-watch the 2013 trailers. Demonic. Unicorns. That are made of FIRE. Set to WILDLY INAPPROPRIATE POP MUSIC.

I've played Zeros, Peace Walker apparently isn't up to much. I also watched their MGS4 play through and that honestly seemed like the ideal way for me to experience that game.

So I watched the Giantbomb viewing of the below video and I think it may be necessary viewing. Ground Zeros is literally the direct aftermath of Peacewalker and it seems like it will all carry into 5. I've become oddly invested in the story and I honestly hate myself.

This is why stretching before sex is important.

This is better than soccer, period. Well, when the servers are working correctly anyway.

Finally made it to the end of Ep 4 recently. The twist certainly blindsided me even though I knew something was coming. Maybe I'm an idiot but I legitimately would not have been able to guess it entirely. Writing's a little clunky in places but it's an enthralling piece of interactive story telling, can't wait for the conclusion. Genuinely invested now.

Why must you hate yourself like this?

Pfft, as if she could ever love you like I know how to.

Nooo, poor little Betty. I'm so sorry Raining.

I hope it's possible to specifically identify & invade the FOBs belonging to people on your friends list (note to self: fill out friends list).

Stealthing is still preferable but you I'll wager you could shoot your way in and out of any situation you needed to now. Which is good, because for me it's usually one first and then the other.

I wasn't hotly anticipating MGSV but that was before I learned you could build a base with a puppy in it. A puppy!

The concept of a "First Party" is dying as platform converge on each other. There will always be big and small publishers with requisite budgets and the "diversity" is always going to be at the small end of the scale, where potential losses are lower, individuals have greater control over their work, and the audiences they attract are more likely to buy something new. Most major tent-pole projects will inevitably follow established popular formulas to sell reliably. Occasionally something exceptional will be produced and supported by a big name but it will usually be the exception. It's the same way in most major creative industries. Big movie budgets go to superhero reboots, star vehicles and brand marketing exercises. The "diversity" of cinema will always be in the documentaries, the small-studio animations, the breakouts from the art scene. I'm fine with it TBH.

Mostly that makes me miss the old Rogue Squadron games. =(

Love how it's looking. I guess 90% of it will be how well the world allows you to traverse but it's all very promising. Stylistically it looks spot on.

I'm sure if we put our heads together we could think of something fun to do with it.

Just saw Inside Out, I think it's a wonderful achievement in storytelling. Not only is it a fluid and charming journey, it gets right to the core of it's themes and renders them in ways that are convincingly universal. Easily one of the finest films of any genre I've seen for quite some time. I almost walked immediately back into the cinema to watch it again.

That video makes me stupendously angry and I can't properly verbalize why.

Incredible race, I watched the highlights after the race just to take it all in again. Dare we dream of another thriller in Spa after the break? If Ferrari have their act back together the rest of the season could get really good.

It's the choice between a world with a new Metroid game or a world without one. Right now ours is the latter.
