Nate, Sebastian, Jordan, and Ryan gather to discuss METAL GEAR SOLID, Konami's stealth action game from 1998. We discuss the "uncanny valley of cinema," the Selfish Gene Theory, and the origin of the setpiece-heavy structure that would come to inform so many AAA games for the next twenty years. Nate spends $60 on an extremely frivolous expense, Jordan discusses his teenage dream of creating a hoverboard, and Sebastian finds something he hates more than Star Wars -- the insidious misogyny of Hideo Kojima.
