In anticipation of our upcoming Metal Gear Solid marathon for Child's Play, this episode is about three guys trying to explain to a fourth guy the entire plot of the Metal Gear series, without looking anything up. It is a long, depraved, and inscrutable road, and by the end you may find yourself all the worse for it. You've been warned.

This week, we have on local game developer all-star and kickass human being Kimberley Hansen, from Socilogica and String Theory Games, and we talk about using music as a game's driving mechanic, White House Down as a Christmas movie, and the tasteful portrayal of young love in Transformers 4. We also corner the market on virtual machine guns, discuss the awkwardness of your old customized characters running into your new customized characters, and discover that real movies sound just like fake movies.

It's a strong day for discussion with some core members today, as we discuss the best and worst of the Metal Gear Solid series, quasi-authentic military weaponry, and the relationship between Batman and the holidays. We also get in-depth on the relationship Bioware and Mass Effect has with displaying gender and race issues in video games, and how every evil corporation in popular culture don't seem to make any business sense.
