Hey, It Worked!

One more time, kiddies. My favorite ending of any video game. Can't watch it without tearing up.

It's Like Christmas in June!

Com'on, you knew this post was coming. Tomorrow, at 9 a.m., I am waking up and calling Fred Meyer, who better freaking have the game. If they don't, I guess I'll call Best Buy. But mark my words, I will be playing MGS4 tomorrow. In the evening hours, I intend to drag the game over to Erik's house, where I will regale him and my other compatriots with its awe and wonder. Next goal: buy a PS3, possibly using Craig's List. Expect a review!

Thursday Approaches

I had to send my Wii to Washington today to get it fixed (it won't read multi-layered disks, like Super Smash Bros. Brawl), so I won't be able to complete MGS: The Twin Snakes by the time Guns of the Patriots releases on Thursday. However, I have popped Sons of Liberty in the PS2 in the meantime. While both games will undoubtedly weigh heavily on the plot of the finale, I haven't played through MGS2 in probably a year and a half. Like every other MGS game, it's technically very short. There's not a whole lot of gameplay, but there are a bunch of cinematics and Codec cutscenes. I should have Sons of Liberty wrapped up by Wednesday, which will prepare me nicely for MGS4, which if you haven't been listening, will be launching on Thursday.

In Case You've Forgotten...

Just six more days until Metal Gear Solid 4. I have vowed to purchase the game, though, alas, I do not own a PS3. My brother (who is currently staying with us), however, does, and he's gone at work all evening, so its rumbling machinations will be mine to control. I'm considering replaying MGS: The Twin Snakes and MGS2: Sons of Liberty before diving, headlong, into the series' final entry. That would require me to tear myself away from the excellent Odin Sphere, but that's a sacrifice I'm perfectly willing to make...for Snake.
