[Walrus42]

Nice Army of Darkness reference.

This is my favorite series on the Escapist. Great job, guys!

 

[RTR]

Just curious, but have you guys ever encountered yourselves with a game that you just couldn't find enough jokes to come up with or are just that good?

Nice Army of Darkness reference.

Where was that? I must have missed that.

I wish we were that good!
No, we've seen games with long enough scenes, but that just weren't the right kind of scene for us to make jokes for. I can't think of one offhand, but if I think of one I'll mention it.

Actually, it's a double reference to both Army of Darkness, and the film AoD was referencing, the original Day the Earth Stood Still.

That's what I remembered it from, the original Day the Earth Stood Still, I completely forgot about Army of Darkness.

cant wait for the next kojima game..rumor is it's going to be a interactive movie..because kojima hates you and you suck.

 

[The Rogue Wolf]

damnit Snake, should'a taken the monkey and ran.

Just like the old song says!

...you know. "Go on, take the monkey and run...."

So today we got to encounter a shaved monkey in short-shorts, and a Wesley Snipes-wannabe scat fetishist who, when not at his day job as a weapons dealer, moonlights as a stage magician.

Hideo Kojima, you madman. Riding that playground duckie of insanity [http://cds016.dc1.cdn.themis-media.com/m9z2g8u7/cds/media/global/images/galleries/display/55/55463.jpg].

My jaw has a radio receiver too, I can totally relate to this situation.

Really? They messed up and put mine in my middle finger, I get 108 fm by flick people off.

 

[Cunnysmythe]

Nice.

I especially liked the part about Snake stealing jobs from other geriatric men with rubber suits.

 

[civver]

"Do I keep you close, or closer?"
"He's either a street magician or the worst children's party entertainer I've ever seen."

Another good one as usual.

 

[SeanAY]

"Battle of Benfleet"

Heh, I'm from there. Not the battle, the place.

 

[itdoesntmatter]

I'm suspicious of walls too.
They are everywhere....It's eerie.

 

[IronEd]

I am super surprised there weren't any Naked Gun references. Drebin, Frank Drebin.

EDIT: i haven't played the game but that old snake health bar really confused me, does he get older whenever he fails to shoot things?

Its uh... its a bit more involved than that. Basically, the top bar represents your Health, the lower bar that decreased your Psyche. The meter below is an indiaction of stress, which relates to the above two-

acutally you know what. It takes too long. Suffice to say, if you stuff up or bad things happen (Example: when you get reminded of your age or informed you are

Spoiler

walking factory for a the lethal FOXDIE virus and if you don't die in three months it will infect and kill millions

... yeah, that won't make any sense either) the Psyche Meter goes down. It gets restored by relaxing, using energy drinks, medications, herbs or looking at cleavage. Which can be done in cut-scenes as well.


Lengthy response out of the way, that was a quite a good ep. The reference to control from earlier was the best bit in my opinion.
I so hope the Beauty and the Beast introduction is done next, so many opportunities in that one.

 

[CmdrGoob]

Great episode.

OMG LOOK AT TEH FUNNY MONKEY LOLZER BEAM!!1!!

Ugh. If there was a test that determined if you are a shit writer, then the first question would be "Have you ever tried to use a monkey for comic relief?".
