Grind my Metal Gears

Death Stranding continues as we work our way through Episode 2! Time to get down to business by delivering some package, and connecting people to the internet. Oh, and Geoff Keighley is here too looking for action figures. Episode 63: There's a Lot of Homos in This Game

It's time to enter the era of Kojima's post-Konami breakup as we begin our journey through Death Stranding. We've got so much to talk about right out of the gate from characters with obvious names to proper nouns like DOOMs, and BBs, and Timefall, and Repatriates. Episode 62: *ASMR Voice* Hey DOOMers

We finished Ac!d 2 and boy are there some wild and fun twists and ideas at the end of this game. Things like dowsing rods, brain cloning, hypnotism, elementary school hackers, and more! Episode 61: A Clone of a Clone

Onward to Ac!d 2! A sequel which seemingly picks up on none of the threads from the first game, but does have a lot of quality of life improvements, so we're having a great time, and not at all distracted by the cartoonishly jiggling boobs.Episode 60: Metal Gear Raid Party

We've come to the end of Ac!d. Time to fight another Metal Gear and save the day, and finally learn all the insane (and inconsequential?) plot twists as the game races towards a conclusion. Surely all of this will go somewhere in Ac!d 2, right? Episode 59: Acting Cells Under Alice

We're soldiering on in our journey through Ac!d and it's time for some classic MGS stuff like backtracking for a PSG-1 and crossing some bridges. And also some non-MGS stuff like fighting a clown and playing a board game... Episode 58: King of Dream Town

It's time for some shocking revelations as we continue on with Metal Gear Ac!d. Is Solid Snake really who he says he is? What is ACUA? Is Pythagoras the name of the Metal Gear or not? All this and more! Make sure to stick around until the end as we do the important work of figuring out what instruments the MGS3 characters would play in a marching band. Episode 57: Metal Gear High School

We're returning to the world of handheld gaming with Metal Gear Ac!d. Does it hold up to Portable Ops, our beloved PSP only Metal Gear game? Either way, it's time for some deck building in this card-based, dubiously canon entry in the series. Episode 56: Active Command Intelligence Duel

We're finishing our run on the MSX with Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake! If the first Metal Gear was a blueprint for MGS, then this game is functionally an MGS game but in 2D. So many of the things we thought were novel about Metal Gear Solid are in this game. But is it good? Opinions may vary...

Episode 55: [Fred Jones Voice] I think Kojima Sucks!

We're going back in time to 1987 to check out the very first Metal Gear game for the MSX. Despite the limitations of the MSX, so much of what we've come to know and love about the Metal Gear Solid series is already here from the very beginning, even if the story is pretty slight from what we're used to with later games.
