It's also the day P.T. gets unlisted from the Playstation Store.

I'd have loved to have kept the joke running, but I think it bears mentioning when legitimate queries start popping up.

Of course, this is a Silent Hills thing, but this thread has become more of a Hideo Kojima masterthread as of late.

I will always be in love with that one Peace Walker Easter egg where Big Boss stumbles upon a truckload of large steel cogs.

I sure said that!

MGS 2 has the best speeches, that's for sure.

[up]I'd say MGS 1 and MGS 3 had better stuff. Sure, MGS 2's were definitely more cerebral, but they also had the bad habit of droning on endlessly. The final scene involving the Patriots giving Raiden a Reason you Suck Speech comes to mind, along with the earlier sections of Big Shell.

I just got through this sniper battle mission in Peace Walker, the one before the AI tank fight. This game is really something else.

It's incredible how the team not only shrunk a game of this size onto a UMD, but also how they made it look better than the PS 2. By all means, this should be less powerful, but it cranks out really nice graphics and all of this content - it's nuts.

About the only potential issue is the camera, and ehhhhhh. The few times I needed to change the camera without stopping for a moment, I managed with the cavalier method of moving my right hand to the D-pad.

The graphics are slightly blockier than the PS 2 games, but the art direction does a nearly flawless job of hiding that. I'm also very partial to the cutscenes.

I sure said that!

Hey, does anybody know why the METAL GEAR AC!D games are called that?

And why it has that "!" in "Ac!d"?

...

Yeah, I don't get it either.

What does the iconic sound effect have to do with a spinoff game called "Metal Gear Ac!d", aside from the "!"?

Yeah, basically, you could take out everything from Metal Gear except the stealth and the "!" and the cardboard boxes and it'd still feel at least a lot like Metal Gear.

No clue on why Acid was the root word in the first place, though, just where the creative misspelling came from.

I sure said that!

My "?" was for the sake of meme, not because I didn't understand.

The exclamation mark in Ac!d is because an exclamation mark is an upside-down "i" and it is a staple of Metal Gear. That's all there is to it.

I remember that Acid was an acronym for the card-based combat system, although I'm not entirely sure of what the words in the acronym are.

I have disagreed with her a lot, but comparing her to republicans and propagandists of dictatorships is really low. - An idiot

Okay then, so that's why Ac!d is Ac!d.

But how does one pronounce "Ac!d"?

"AY-CEE! ...dee"?

"ASS! Deh"?

"Ac-

-d"?

Is there a trick to recruiting good soldiers in Peace Walker, aside from "Fulton everyone you can and hope for luck"? I get a good guy every now and again, but I have to discharge entire squads of new recruits sometimes.

Konami did a DMCA takedown to that Super Bunny Hop video we were talking about earlier.
