6:23 explanation: here January 1st 1970 is probably the start of Unix time. in Unix operating systems the time is measured by the number of seconds since that day at midnight. it's not related to the Y2K bug but rather to the year 2038 bug. for a 32-bit signed integer, an overflow would send a computer back to 1901 (in his internal calendar at least)! it is a very sensible problem for some operating systems, i don't know to which extent it is resolved, but i think it mostly is but only thanks to planned obsolescence yes :-/... however the PS2 has a clock that is bound in a 100 year window (2000-2099 i think)... MGS2 is still very relevant today indeed. [EDIT: one sentence i did not make sense]

4:34 Playing MGS2 without playing the tanker chapter hits so different, I spent the whole game connecting different pieces of information and it really got me into Raidens mindset, it felt like everyone else was always one step ahead of me. Character introductions like Olga, Ocelot A even Liquid aswell as Snake revealing himself in his sneaking suit was so much better without the context of the tanker chapter. I would highly recommend treating MGS2 as a role playing game and skipping the tanker chapter all together for the best experience

It's funny how a simple change literally change the whole perspective of the game because you don't know half of the characters yet. Especially the part when Pliskin reveals his true identity against his imposter who somehow has the same codename has his.

11:47 If I had to guess, considering that the EU version has a gender selection when make a profile (6:14), I think they wanna make Raiden genderfluid originally and allow you to select his gender from here, allowing you to possibly playing as female for the first time in MGS history. It is just a speculation, tho.

Time to cosplay as DSP hahaha, thanks for the insights, never got deep into the document of MGS2. I barely even remember the demo, i played more of the MGS3 demo back then in where you could play the game until you first meet sokolov. One of your greatest videos yet, the sketches of raiden, the lenghts kojima went just to develop his game... you really feel the passion from back then, videogames were at an arms race to be as realistic and awesome as possible, unlike today where only money counts...

Even so, it's part of the live stream "moments". Whatever it is on screen, it only feels right to have it as part of the series for the proper continuity
