We begin other game! Background and introductory elements of Metal Gear Solid, and the beginning of the story: meeting the two hostages (the DARPA Chief and the ArmsTech President), and the encounter with Revolver Ocelot.

The next episode, in two weeks, will go through the fourth boss fight (In the Commander's Room).

For those who didn't hear in yesterday's episode, on 4/23 we will be beginning our discussion of Metal Gear Solid!

For those looking to play along:

The original version can be played on a PS1, PS2, or PS3.

It can be bought on the PSN store on a PS3 or PSP, or via the MGS Legacy Collection on PS3.

The PC version is sadly not available digitally, but if you find it, you can play using a fan patch on modern machines.

The remake for Gamecube using the MGS2 engine should be close enough for discussion as well.

The first episode will take us through the first boss (in the armory).

Wawka Shrine, the Ark of Yamato, and the end of the game.

And of course, announcing our next game, starting as usual in our next episode in two weeks!
