Episode 9 - Meryl? Liquid!? Grey Fox! Otacon...
Monday, April 26, 2010 at 12:55PM Metal Gear!? So it goes like this: Nothingness, a big-bang, some wars and stuff, and then the birth of Hideo Kojima. Bam. The history of the world in one paragraph.
We realize that after a decade of post-mortems, blogs, reviews, feature articles, and other podcasts, you probably know Metal Gear better than Konami at this point. The last thing you want to hear is a detailed account of the series, and so we spend our time this episode simply focusing on what Metal Gear has meant to the both of us while re-living some of its greatest music moments.
Before that, each host tells a heart-warming story to restore your faith in humanity, and in Mortal Emails we answer questions about Strategy RPGs and Microsoft's XNA program.
For our main event, the hosts prove that Jim Sterling is no demon, for if he was, we'd have summoned him by now simply by saying his name sixty times as we react to his reaction of our overly long critique of Destructoid's Podtoid in our last episode. Jim Sterling, Jim Sterling, Jim Sterling...(nope, still safe)
Finally, we've got a contest to win a free copy of Daikatana simply be emailing us at podcast@gamingthemedia.com with some criticism in preparation for when we review ourselves next episode, and as we talk about Uncharted Waters in the last segment of this episode, you probably won't be stuck for a contest entry. Even we don't understand what was going on...
WillyBeans is especially proud of the fact that he uttered the phrase "I'm not talking about videogame writing. I'm talking about real writing..." Fucking brilliant...
