Idle Thumbs 230: A Farewell to Junior Mints

[Idle Thumbs 230: A Farewell to Junior Mints]

Nick and his dreams are getting to close to discovering the truth of his existence and reality.

We must stop him before he blows our cover, fellas.

[Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain]

Of course there was a Dunkey.

.

 

His basketball career went bad then. How sad.

[Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain]

There is a lot in the game that people initially write off as dumb before it actually gets resolved. Its neat.

[Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain]

The twist here is...WAS THERE EVEN A DUNKY?

 

 

I don't want to believe, but it did just vanish into thin air.

 

EDIT: There is a quick question I do have about resources in this game. Has anyone done the math to find out how often they containers in the world maps are replenished?  Fee;s like I've been back to major farm zones (OKB Zero, Airport, etc) and they are still barren. I need to max out my FOB!

[Idle Thumbs 228: New Game Plus or Minus World]

Right, sorry. I will get to that.

New to the forum, haven't figured it all out yet.

[PSN ID exchange]

Hey folks,

My PSN ID is sargemcd. I play.. kind of everything? Depending on my schedule.

[The All New XBox Gamertag Exchange Thread!]

I'm Sarge McD on Xbox Live.

I'm not on this as often as I use to be, I still play primarily Xbox exclusives and others depending on what my friends get.

[Quitter's Club: Don't be ashamed to quit the game.]

Dark Souls 2 is the game I have currently stopped playing and have no immediate plans to return to.

Nothing about it being too tough, I beat Demon's, Dark 1, etc. It just isn't as good..? I just didn't grab me. It feels flimsy and disjointed. It has that strange 'game feel' that just feels wrong to me. Yes, I know 'game feel' is a idiotic idea and term but you just know, ya know?

I guess I've put Bloodborne on hold and haven't finished the last boss, I'm waiting for the DLC. This is mostly due to experiencing new DLC in new game plus first with Dark Souls. It made shit so much tougher, so I'm waiting for this one.

[Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain]

This is a video from a few weeks ago about this one Donkey on the edge and desperate. The donkey is having a hard time supporting his/her family, and decided to collect on its life insurance by commuting this horrible selfish act.

I self used and horrified.

 

My heart goes out to his/her family. I am sorry for my part in this tragedy.

[New people: Read this, say hi.]

Hey.

Been meaning to join for about a year now but I'm terrible at remembering to do so.

Here I am now. Sup?

Edit: What drove me to this Podcast/Forum was finally being in a place where Far Cry 2 is appreciated for being the great game it is.

[Idle Thumbs 228: New Game Plus or Minus World]

There are some elements of Nick's position on things happening in MGSV that bother me a bit. Primarily that he seemingly doesn't see through-lines that connect this one to other Metal Gears

(White kid ruling over African gang is Eli who is actually Liquid, Huey being tortured due to them thinking he's a traitor working for Cypher, their hostilities towards Quiet and why she refuses to speak etc.)

But ultimately these will either be resolved, as he actually finishes the game, or just balanced by his love of its Far Cry 2-ness.

 

Nick's thoughts on this game are entertaining, especially now that I can't NOT think of him as Larry David. Good stuff.

Another great episode, minor nitpicks on the views on Metal Gear Solid V aside.
