blah blah blah Metal Gear blah blah blah

See, he's the ex-President, and he has a robotic powersuit with tentacles, and he uses a team with a vampire and a fat guy on roller skates and a girl in a bathing suit with a railgun to take over an extra-enormous giant robot, but he gets betrayed by the Russian cowboy with a possessed ghost arm who's working(sort of) for a bunch of deranged AI things and it's all an experiment in the use of the medium as an active part in the story and a subversion of the entire idea of sequels, then the tentacley ex-President gets katana'd and dies in front of a statue and the bishounen meets up with his girlfriend who may or may not be a hallucination and there's a jazz song about how hugs are awesome. You know what? If you don't like this game, I don't like you.

-_dahne_'s totally accurate summary of Metal Gear Solid 2


So apparently MGS4 had so many cutscenes, some geeks got together and tried to make it into a movie with some editing. I'm watching part one now (each of the three parts is about two hours long), about halfway through. I am pissy that they cut out all the gay but left in the awkward het. That means the after-credits bit (and a lot of other parts) make no sense. Hell, SUNNY HASN'T EVEN SHOWN UP AND WE'VE ALREADY SAVED NAOMI. Where the fuck is the mission briefing?

Hint to fanboys: Your game is gay. Deal with it. Trying to un-gay it cripples the story. Ya rly.

1. So I spent the entire first half of this week filling out applications and smiling and trying to make an impression. Now, I just have to wait and make callbacks.



2. I've had fofomazuzu over for the last... four days? Ish? Playing MGS1. Gonna hopefully start MGS2 today. It's fun to watch someone else play. :D :D :D



3. Haven't watched Keith or Rach in days, which is apparently just as well as they're on vacation.



4. Seriously, I love MGS. Love love love love. Act 5 of MGS4 can go fuck itself tho. I SHOULD NOT BE CRYING SO MUCH AT A VIDEO GAME. GOD.



5. I may do a giant "PLAY THESE PS2 GAMES" post for someone soon. I may have convinced them to join the sixth and seventh generation of gaming. Whoop whoop.

I should write fic...

ETA: HAY HAY HAY, everyone who bought/rented WALL-E, make sure you check out the special features and watch BURN-E. It may possibly be cuter than the original movie.

This fic may be one gigantic excuse to give Hal a specific codename that NO ONE BUT ME will get.

(Tho if you are a long-time gamer and have an interest in fictional AI, you just might...)

So I need to write some fucking MGS fic. I am trying desperately to hash out an odd little idea for an AU where Otacon is a villian. Yes, really (or maybe not really? Not sure yet). A cyberterrorist of sorts, perhaps, or a blackmailer who uses his computer savvy for evil instead of good.

Mostly, I just want to write Snake as a FBI op who's tasked with tracking down the crazy, paranoid hacker and drag his ass to justice. Of course, something has to go wrong because it's MGS and something always goes wrong. Betrayal or something.

Point being: Who'd wanna beta a MGS fic? Maybe I should look around the comms to see if anyone is up for me typing fic at them.

Also, I'm making a fanmix. Because I haven't been part of the fandom if I haven't made a mix for it. Blame Snow Patrol's new album.

PS: Any fellow fen (all three of you :p) know if Liquid was ever given a canon first name? Solid got one, Solidus was George... did Liquid just miss out?
