New Metal Gear Solid Facts Discovered Ft. David Hayter

[@wumbojet]

I could listen to David Hayter narrate a whole documentary all by himself, and in fact I think I need that in my life.

Back in 2017, I sent David Hayter some fan mail. He sent me back a super nice letter with his autograph. It wasn't a template, he talked about what I wrote in detail and it was great!! Super nice guy!!

Okay I kinda love the revolver detail though. Looking at it from the perspective that young Ocelot would twirl his revolvers for a comically long time, while with age he learned to tone down his need to make a spectacle of showing off his revolvers

[@azraelknightquest5754]

[@TheEsdaniel]

Pretty good 👉👉

[@tilbin7855]

That heath regeneration animation tidbit was really interesting! I always throught he was rubbing his hand down his face, maybe wiping off the sweat, or trying to steel himself for more work ahead, sort of like "oh man, that was tough, but my job isn't finished yet. I gotta keep going." And that brief moment of respite gave him the strength to go on.

[@9pastno0n]

My friends and I used to joke that he was rewarding himself with "Snake Treats" for a job well done 😂

[@AfterlifeGames]

Yeah, Snake's eating a ration. Nishimura said she made a mistake after posting that sketch.

[@TayR0C]

I just always assumed he was eating a ration.

[@Greenleaf_]

I always saw it as him eating a ration or something like that. Then when it showed up here before they revealed it I guessed it was him clenching his fist, but they really shouldn't have put his fist right in front of his mouth like that since that's probably where most of the confusion comes from.

[@Incinerico]

Or some reason I thought he was taking a drag of a cigarette before moving out, but they just left out the asset

[@TheFlamingDoh2]

0:10 Oh so THAT’S why he’s the Diaper Chief! He didn’t have enough TP!

[@WilfredCthulu]

[@Maesterful]

Metal Gear..... David you are SNAKE, the man, the myth, the legend 🐍😎

[@Mr.Smiley_J]

7:01 huh. I always thought he was eating a ration or something but they couldn't animate the item in his hand. It totally looks like he's shoving something invisible into his face and then his health goes up.

[@AfterlifeGames]

Yeah, that's what happening. That drawing was a result of someone trying to prove me wrong and Nihsimura forgetting the purpose of the animation. After I pointed out that Snake's hand clips through his face and the ration noise plays repeatedly, she changed her mind.

[@taffaboi84]

Me too

[@Sazazezer]

I always saw it as he was sniffing some smelling salts, bringing his focus back to full, and therefore his health.

[@maxderrat]

Things I never knew I wanted: hearing David Hayter say "nuthuts". Great work as always DYKG! A couple of things here were truly fascinating as a lifelong MGS fan.

[@mb2001]

Hey, it's Max! :)

Met David Hayter during a game festival in Chile. He was super nice and even recorded a video for a friend of mine. Another time when I applied for a job in the german film industry I had a chance to talk to him via Skype and recorded the conversation to show it to my future employer. I got the job thanks to Solid Snake. Absolute legend.

[@blackishjustin]

Pretty dope video. I'm also glad there was a spoiler warning at 14:00 regarding Policenauts. I just started playing the English-patched rom of this yesterday, so kudos for the heads-up. Much appreciated! 👌🏿

[@infinity2z3r07]

One time I accidentally left my PS1 powered on before I went to bed and then to school the next day (age 13). I returned home to find I left Snake in a ventilation shaft for 16 hours. I felt actual remorse and shame as if I did this to a real person. I told Snake I was sorry. This is now a 26 year old memory.

Happy to hear Hayter back for another MGS DYKG video :)

[@robertrazo1077]

Immediately shared this video with multiple MGS fan friends. Thanks for making excellent content!!😊

[@sheepchemical3024]

this also makes sense for Ocelot's character though! When he was the leader of the ocelot unit, he was a lot more cocky and reckless (which naked snake reprimands him for), and the needlessly long gun twirling is a great way of implying that

[@dhazedxz007]

David Hayter you are a worldwide treasure and a legend, thank you for your passion. You're pretty good

[@goranisacson2502]

We live in a world where Kojima gets to have all the pee and poop-jokes he want, but not a moment where Otacon gets to be a delightful nerd about snowmobiles. Truly, the darkest timeline. Though Revolver being less ostenatious about his thwirling as an older man than he was as a little kitten is one of those funny moments where circumstantial events create a form of character development. He learned not to be THAT much of a show-off! Good for him.

[@giornothepastaboss285]

[@Big.Joe.Grizzly]

Hayter's the man! Love that he joins in on these videos great work as always DYKG

[@AfterlifeGames]

7:22 That Twitter sketch by itself isn't the full story. A couple days before that, somebody made a thread saying that whenever Snake defeats a boss, he pumps his fist in celebration because he's excited that he just killed somebody. No, really. That's what they were arguing. I pointed out how ridiculous that was because you can see Snake's hand clipping through his model as he mashes it into his face. And the ration noise plays repeatedly while his health bar extends, so he's clearly eating rations to recover his health. In reponse to that, someone else used Google translate to ask Nishimura for clarification and they posted that sketch. Then that person tagged me in another thread with that sketch to try and rub it in my face (much like Snake does with the ration). So I went to Nishimura and pointed out the face thing and the ration noise, because hell if I was gonna lose an argument on Twitter. They replied and said, "Oh, if you can hear a chewing noise, then yeah, Snake's eating a ration." In other words, Nishimura had simply forgotten the work she had done 23 years prior, and after a couple decades of working on all kinds of different projects, that's completely understandable. Really confused why DidYouKnowGaming would leave out that much-needed context - and get it completely wrong in the process - but it's all good. Setting the Metal Gear record straight is what I do.

[@DefinitiveDubs]

The rations argument makes no sense. It's not the same sound effect and you can't hear chewing, and he does it regardless of how many rations you're carrying.

[@circlestrafe128]

@@DefinitiveDubs It's the exact same sound effect, just repeated. What are you talking about?

[@otakunomix916]

@@DefinitiveDubs It's a cute anime-style chewing noise. And even if you don't have any rations, Snake's health still needs to increase after the battle. Eating to regain health makes a lot more sense than balling your fist tightly.

[@DefinitiveDubs]

​@@circlestrafe128It's literally not. At best, it's the same sound but slowed down, at a lower pitch that never rises, and without reverb.

[@circlestrafe128]

@@DefinitiveDubs You know what? You might be right. Regardless, Snake rubs his open palm over his face, to the point where you can see his arm pass through his body after the fight with the Ninja. Anyone who actually looks at the animation and still says he's making a fist is extremely unobservant.

It's so heartbreaking that MGS is dead. I grew up with MGS1 and it was my only good/big memory with my brother that I've ever had.

[@arielmz4956]

MGS as a story? It's finished, no need to add more to it. As the franchise? A remake is in development. As the games? You can still play them, it will never die as long as people still plays and remember them

[@lexp6099]

It is, but the writing was getting worse and worse; the last game is unfinished (don't @ me it is I don't care if you think it's iNtEnTiOnAl), Kojima wants to work on different things* (and who could blame him after many decades of MGS?) and he bizarrely didn't like Hayter for some reason. *Well, he wants to make movies and rub elbows with Hollywood actors/directors.

[@Supertuottaja]

11:49 I remember when I played MGS on extreme hard difficulty back in the day; the fight with Liquid was insanely hard. There was no room for errors-one little mistake, and you pretty much had to start the fight all over again. It was THE most frustrating experience I've ever had in any MGS game, but I finally managed to beat Liquid after so many retries and finish the game. Now, almost a quarter of a century later, I struggle even with the normal difficulty level. Oh, how times change. But this was a nice video, narration by David Hayter is really cool.

[@Sazazezer]

I always assumed that the 'hug the wall to see the DARPA chief/Octacon' was just something you're supposed to find as part the main path of the game.
