Chase Me To The End Metal Gear Solid 2 is good so far. Just started the Plant chapter. But what the hell is up with that Liquid's arm spoilerpossessing Ocelot thingy? Lol.
It's gayness. And even though MGS4 gives contradicting explanations, it's still gayness. Here's where MGS gets all post-modern, pretentious, and, well, dumb. Be prepared for a lot of plot holes, contradictions, and s**t that doesn't make any sense. I realize that was kind of supposed to be the point, but, well, it still sucks. The same thing has been done in other mediums and genres, and done much better. I don't think MGS was proper vessel for this kind of story, but I guess that's just me. My MGS stealth action game shouldn't be like a frikkin' David Lynch film. There's a huge plot hole towards the end that isn't explained unless you gleamed the information from the Document of Metal Gear Solid 2, which is basically a making of DVD. I'm sorry, but I shouldn't have to refer to other sources outside of the game to understand what the ******** is going on in its own damn storyline. And there's still another plot hole at the end that even MGS4 didn't explain. With MGS2, the gameplay is really the only redeeming quality. I probably played through that one the most, because the gameplay was so fun. As well as for the unlockables, dog tags, and to get a better grasp of the story. But even after I fully understood the story, it still sucked. And even after all the revelations in MGS4, I went back and played it again, thinking I might have a better appreciation for it now. But nope, I still hated it. And pretty much whenever MGS4 addressed something from MGS2 is when its story started meandering. But, eh, I just kind of look at MGS as some kind of crazy-a** Japanese comic book with a little western flavor now, and it works on that level. But the original didn't have that cartoony feel to me, because it was mostly grounded in reality, and the few little s**t that wasn't was a lot more subtle and believable in its execution, and didn't bash you upside the head with it, like, say MGS2 - MGS4. And even Twin Snakes to some degree. |

Damn...Guess I'll have to find out for myself...
But yes, I totally agree. I shouldn't have to study outside sources to truly get a grasp of the situation. |

MINDFREAK aka Criss Angel. A total David Blaine wannabe douche who had his own show on A&E way back in 2005 or some s**t. Maybe he still does, I don't know. The only real difference between him and David Blaine is that the MINDFREAK is all goth/rockstar and prettier, therefore making the 12 year-old girls who watch his show cream their pants. Aaaand he's total corporate tool. Advertisements and sponsorships are one thing, but his show was just ridiculous. He was sponsored by Pontiac, and his show was like an hour-long Pontiac commercial in itself, interspersed with about three different Pontiac commercials, starring him, and then commercials for his show, which consisted of him screaming, "MINDFREAK! MINDFREAK!" into the camera, cut to another Pontiac commercial with him in it, then cut back to his actual show, where they put him in a cube full of water in Times Square in which he "escaped" when a bunch of bubbles started forming in the cube so you couldn't see what the ******** was going on inside of it, and then he re-emerged on top of, you guessed it, a ******** Pontiac. All while holding his arms out and screaming like someone was raking the car alarm down a chalkboard while shoving the entire thing up into his a*****e (and he did this at the end of many of his tricks).
Here is the intro theme of his show: MINDFREAK!!!
And here is his Pontiac, b***h: Pontiac, b***h
So anyway, yeah. Whenever someone says ******** or something of the like, I'm probably gonna break out into the MINDFREAK! song. I'm sorry. I've been scarred for life.

Well, the web browser thing is troublesome for me too. Especially when I use Youtube. Same with my friend's PS3, so that's something common. Hopefully Sony will fix it in a future firmware upgrade.
That Mark of Kri deal is weird though. Actually, every single PS2 game I've tried works perfectly fine. Couple of PS1 games glitch out, but still functional. But none of them freeze, or not start up... I dunno what to tell you, man. I'll meet up with my guitarist on Saturday, and if we're at his place... Well, I dunno if he has Mark of Kri or not, but he has a crapload of games, so I wouldn't be surprised. And if he does, I'll test it out.
