It's time to kick this adventure off!

Metal Gear Solid 4 is out on all major platforms and we're off to the races. Chad and James have never played it before, so we're all amped up, geeked out, and freaked out for what will come to pass.

Join us ... more

Metal Gear Solid 4 is days away from being unshackled from the PlayStation 3. Metal Gear Mondays has unshackled Lilli from her least featured season with our original MGS4 coverage. The excitement is palpable.

What will the new co-hosts think? What ... more

Join us this week as we finish Ghost Babel and uncover some deep dark secrets.

Metal Gear Mondays is going handheld.

We're revisiting our old Gameboy Color days and giving Ghost Babel (aka Metal Gear Solid in the US) the attention it deserves.

Let's do this thing!

  • Old stuff was good

    Was a diehard for the early shows. Alessio still has brilliant insight, and his media literacy is quiet impressive. However, everything is just hyper sexual now. Very weird. Also the kojima glazing is too much. Kojima’s early works are outstanding, but he’s a deeply flawed creator that rides a laughably close line to plagiarism.
