Best of Giant Bomb 115 - Metal Rippin' Scanlon

[@inferno232]

The best bit of MGR is how it fits perfectly into the Metal Gear timeline. Like, that ridiculous tech has finally piled on top of itself enough times that we can have super robot god men running around hitting things with swords and their fists.

[@TheDeliciousMystery]

Watching anyones face nowadays at the 'make america great again' part is just an extra treat to introducing someone to MGR.

[@Dizzoman]

The precognition of watching new players experience this ridiculous game is such a wonderful thing

[@GregPivo87]

You know, I never noticed, but Armstrong has zero ass (considering how ripped the rest of his body is). He's like Hank Hill as a Metal Gear boss.

[@KyleS.1987]

BWAAAA!

[@sofiaciel7599]

His lack of an ass is how you can tell he's antithetical to Kojima's philosophy

[@KyleS.1987]

Michael L. Good point. He's definitely conspicuous by his lack of man ham.

[@g1nobleteam]

"Dang it Raiden, you gilbethead"

[@Alucard-A-La-Carte]

Ooooool' Pancake Butt.

[@cikame]

"I can't stop those kids from becoming cyborgs, but i can stop them from becoming murderers".

[@d00msdaydan]

I can't believe they were talking over it after beating Monsoon and didn't notice Raiden saying "Relax, I'll get the brains"

[@dudeglove]

Drew is so damn pleased with himself and his jokes.

[@tritiumH3]

As well he should be.

[@corruptgunslinger]

Agoraphobic was S tier

[@danielcalderone6244]

6:20 Holly shit Kojima, you crazy son of a bitch. Remember this game came out in 2013

[@JonnyJoestar_]

Ronald Reagan also used it in 1980.

[@Ozku9]

Well, actually Kojima had pretty much nothing (just producer) to do with the game's development after it was given to platinum, so...

[@Tarkess]

I think he outlined the general details of the story but I'm not sure. I don't know that he wrote that dialogue though.

[@dagdammit]

Tarkess I think you can credit JP Kellam, he writes the english version of most platinum games.

[@GG-ou7it]

Armstrong is a libertarian on steroids tho

[@boldspacejazz]

This game is a masterpiece.

[@Macho_Fantastico]

I forgot how effing awesome Metal Gear Raiden was.

[@Goose_BooseYT]

RULES OF NATURE!!!!!!!

[@timinimification]

Nanomachines, son!

[@giftofthepadgii]

Holy shit, between this and mgs2, Metal Gear is actually scarily on point and prophetic!

[@HolyknightVader999]

And both of them have Raiden as the main character.

[@LampsPants]

It took me a moment to get Drew's joke at the beginning. Pretty great.

[@MstrToasty]

i just realized the "deep inside, we're kindred spirits, you and I" line reminds me of the line in the beginning of dmc4

[@bluebaby30]

I didn't remember Armstrong make America great again line, holy shit.

[@superblah12]

Beating MGR is one day was one of the most enjoyable and brain warping days of my life.

[@Dja05]

Armstrong is the golden god of endgame bosses, he deserved his own video. NANOMACHINES, SON !

[@recursiveslacker7730]

4:06 the localization producer for shadow the hedgehog had songs from this game and shadow the hedgehog played for him and he couldn’t tell which were which.

[@JonnyJoestar_]

The best Metal Gear game. No questions asked.

[@treygoeshard]

Sanke Eater dude.

[@Atropos148]

i want to play that one on console, but playing it on my new 3DS, i dont think its as good as MGS2

[@VeiledMalice]

Yup.

[@MrAce2493]

This man is correct

[@g1nobleteam]

Atropos148 That is still the worst version of MGS3 as even with the nub on the new 3DS it just doesn't feel right after playing the HD collection versions.

[@giuniral]

I have fun when you guys have fun.

[@RedEarth20XDX]

I watched 30 seconds and now I have to leave and listen to mistral's theme all day

[@TheRealAmericanMan]

This game is fucking rad as fuck

[@boldspacejazz]

I miss these guys so much.

[@MrGeremyTibbles]

I knew Dan would love Revengence.

[@TheKrawtch]

"Hang on, is this game awesome?!" *Only the best Metal Gear game since 3 Dan*

[@NoUraahmed519]

Watching their reactions on make America great again is priceless especially Vinesauce

[@user-sj1gr6kr3e]

Damn it, they made me want to replay the game. Such a good game! I hope DmC 4, which is next in my backlog, is similarly great.

[@GreyFang9]

Dunno which is more fun... doing all that myself, or watching others' reactions to playing. I have had this game for several years (in my backlog) but finally got around to playing it recently and I had the same reaction when the senator said Trump's slogan.

[@boltaco]

Crazy to think that both Drew and Dan aren't a part of Giant Bomb anymore.

[@lalalabababa]

Okay, reinstalling MG:R...

[@Joolz1982]

I forget how brilliant MG: Rising is.

[@ShootyGoBang]

I would take a Metal Gear Rising 2 over Bayonetta 3 any day of the week.

[@Night_Raptor_5991]

Same

[@LampsPants]

God this game is the dumbest, most awesome goddamn game.

[@EekMyNibs]

"Agorophobic"

[@Pendarr]

harpomarxist *(Aggressively touches right headphone)*

[@RobMartens]

I realized where Drew was going once he said "I'm afraid of Goros"; I've never felt simultaneously so ashamed and so proud of another human being as I did in that beat before the punchline.

[@JeffreyGrubb]

Drew's face after saying it is incredible.

[@JeedyJay]

The best part of those Scanlon Puns is that his face telegraphs them - you can see the joke come together in real-time.

[@y2ken513]

Watching this again and seeing Drew's almost melancholy look before he unleashes it upon the world is magical.

[@Muppio]

I miss waiting for 'Metal Gear Scanlon'.

[@mattiaberselli7698]

fuuuck this game is too good!

[@RandomShinigami7]

I've not actually played Rising Revengeance. For whatever reason I just never got around to it. Watching this, it looks dumb as hell and completely batshit insane. ... I just know that if I played it I'd love it. If it ever comes to the Xbox One's backwards compatibility I'll totally buy it.

[@kazen16]

they manage to put again where its = crazy as the original game! good run GB!

[@Alucard-A-La-Carte]

It's incredible how this game now reads more like a loving, incredibly accurate parody of Metal Gear Solid. It's like Dragon Ball Z Abridged to Dragon Ball Z at this point.

[@MangoLoaf]

I think I need to play this game...

[@MrShambles]

They should have called this installment of the series Metal Gear Ryckert: Drewvengeance

[@Enigma2K99]

I just bought this game... ohhhh, I'm in for a treat!

[@jojohernandez14]

Drew finally found out about kojimas' Nostradamus like precog powers.... hes exactly like those kids from total recall,knows the future events before they happen.

[@redbaron2455]

this game is fucking amazing

[@eyecontactleadsto]

I had already kinda wanted to buy Metal Gear Rising... I think I'll be getting it tomorrow...

[@beef633]

7:00 NANI?!?

[@CPTHAP]

I'm so glad this is a reality. It never occurred to me that Dan would have Drew play Revengeance. And I'm glad they liked it as much as they at least appeared to.

[@SgtIronbeak]

It was crazy. And cathartic.

[@incompletex2]

...I think I'm finally gonna open that copy of MG:R I've been sitting on. The joke Drew made in the opener was fantastic

[@crybirb]

Drew is the fuckin best.

[@TheJokerscene]

"Make America Great Again" HOLY FUCK, Trump is a fan of Metal Gear.

[@Dproceeder]

Kojima just reads into future! OMFG!!!!!

[@kalma5003]

Is it too much to ask to for transcripts for these videos? The tempo is so high that I miss Drew's jokes and other funny interactions.

[@AStandsForFrench]

are you going to write the transcripts for them?

[@kalma5003]

Unlikely

[@mrweatherby]

Timely. A very timely game.

[@Gabriel-no6wv]

Is this blonde guy Michael C. Hall? He is so fucking similar to him, wtf???

[@Tropcopter]

Drew

[@buhssuht]

nanomachines, son

[@ShasOSwoll]

"iS hIdEo KoJiMa NoStRaDaMuS?" Why? For quoting Reagan?

[@Tarkess]

1. Reagan's slogan was "Let's Make America Great Again", not "Make America Great Again". 2. It was one amongst a series of different slogans his campaign used during his 1980 presidential campaign. He was not necessarily known for saying it out loud constantly during his campaign, it was a smaller piece of marketing material. 3. It's a joke. It's hilarious when you don't expect the line coming and you're living under the presidency of someone who has printed that slogan on everything possible. America becoming a cartoonish parody of itself in real life while playing a game that has elements of just that feels weirdly prescient and bizarre. Honestly, if you really wanted to be a smartass you could point out that the game isn't written by Hideo Kojima. It's just a joke.

[@redlinrangerstudio5331]

6:21 who would have guess that this foreshadowed Donald trump's rise to office? until 2021

[@Detman101]

Wow...which came first..."Metal Gear:Rising" or the "trump Administration"....

[@30LayersOfKevlar]

MGR is awesome. Raiden is awesome.

[@zhv3062]

I so dont remember such....??? music. wtf, were there different NA versions or something.

[@Pwnmachine]

Hideo is Trump's slogan manager.

[@HipsterKaren]

Yeesh that metal gear rising soundtrack. So glad I stayed away from it.

[@MrSeagallo]

Captain Uterus Mongrel It is the very best of nu-metal butt rock.

[@PlaylistGeneral]

What are you talking about man!? It is the definitive example of fun dumb music!

[@HipsterKaren]

Good one :P

[@PlaylistGeneral]

You really have to be in the right frame of mind to like it - I hate this genre of music but the amount of confidence they seemed to have for this OST with it playing during key points is hilarious and dumb so it's hard for me not to enjoy it a loooot.

[@ElyskeTheDonut]

It is never a bad time to listen to Monsoon’s Theme AKA Stains of Time

[@LivingVicariouslyHD]

Yikes...I'm glad I skipped Rising. But I'm equally glad Giant Bomb didn't

[@liamjm9278]

Why?
