We did it. We made it to the end of Metal Gear Solid. Time for all the last minute reveals and revelations, and few more fights before finally saying goodbye to Shadow Moses Island (for now? IDK. This is Austin writing this and I still have no idea what to expect in the rest of these games, lol).

Tune in next time for the start of MGS2!

Episode 6: Code Name Leopard

We're on to disc 2! After another fight with Vulcan Raven, it's on to the hangar for our first look at Metal Gear Rex. Then it's onto some good ol' PAL card nonsense. Tune in to find out which one of us had to deal with getting their PAL card eaten by a rat, and if you have no idea what that means, then get ready to learn something about MGS1 that plenty of people never see.

Snake is captured! Fortunately for us, this gives us our first chance to meet Liquid which really only raises more questions than it answers. After some cock and ball torture from Revolver Ocelot and a quick reunion with our BF Otacon, we manage to escape our cell (one of us with the aid of a ketchup bottle, and one of us with the good ol' hide-under-the-bed-and-hope-no-one-notices trick). Then it's off to the Metal Gear hangar again, but not before we fight Liquid in his Hind D (a Hind D?!) and have one last sniper showdown with Sniper Wolf.

After some important ass-staring, we finally begin our trek to the hangar where Metal Gear Rex lies, only to be interrupted by a psychic sicko who possesses our game consoles (which we're totally using by the way don't worry about it). Then after making friends with some wolf dogs and backtracking to find a sniper rifle, we face down again Sniper Wolf in a test of patience with the game's sniper controls only to get captured anyway.

We're back at it again on Shadow Moses Island. There's still a Metal Gear to stop, but first we've got to fight a tank and regrettably learn about the guy driving it. Fortunately, we also got to fight a cyber-ninja who actually turns out to be [REDACTED]. But most importantly we get to meet Snake's new boyfriend Otacon and learn about Japanimation.

Episode 2: Snotacon

Now that we've dug through the main menu for all its juicy info and lore, we can finally start playing MGS for real! We kick things off by getting our bearings on Shadow Moses Island before meeting the DARPA Chief (RIP) and the president of Armstech, Kenneth Baker (also RIP). And finally we face off against Revolver Ocelot and try not to get distracted by his sick gun flip tricks.

Episode 1: Stomach Cigarettes

Welcome to Grind My Metal Gears! A podcast where lore master Danny takes Metal Gear novice Austin through the Metal Gear Solid series.

Today we start by talking through what this podcast is, why we're doing it, how we're doing it, and our own histories (or lack thereof) with the MGS series. Then, we get into everything there is to learn about the world of Metal Gear in just the main menu.
