30 Days Game MemeDay 30: Your favorite game or series of all time
META GEA SORRID
I had this pie chart idea, but I didn’t want to end on a crappy note and just a plain pie chart would be a massive copout. I think I might have gone a bit overboard, though. This took forever.
This chart should do a good job summing up why I love this series so much. I should have added “Meta” or “4th wall destruction” as well, but I was running out of room. I’d wax poetic about the virtues of Metal Gear Solid more, but like half my art does that already.
Psst! If you wanna do the game meme, here's the full list of prompts [link]

I think if you tallied up boxes/mentions of boxes and compared it to robots (not including multiples of the same robot like gekkos), you would find that boxes win.

uh, maybe if you're talking about out of game convos

I will hopefully do an MGS2 livestream soon, I should count all instances of boxes vs robots.

hmmm.. the first one kinda only had the box for hiding and a few times for transport.. but the second, the box was made kinda moot by the fact that you could hide in lockers and bathroom stalls, and the only time the trick it's self was discussed or seen really was if you chased after Snake(Plisken) after the scene with Stillman explaining how to stop the bombs.. or when you used the box machine to.. well, idk, the way the game set up i think i only really needed to use it once, every mission usually had my going around the entire shell:/ though if you are talking about how much you just see boxes.. well, that doesn't count at all!xD it was a oil rig full of random boxes, and near the end it was completely pointless and there were countless mech scenes, including the giant metal gear they were in, and the almost infinite payload of metal gear rays that they had trying to murder you but you're all like "NOPE! stinger missile bitches=o=" and pwn them like a beast!xD.. and the game is ultimately called Metal Gear after the original NES game about the walking mech tank with the same name.. oh and you aren't counting the other games.. when they go to those third world countries for Snake Eater and Guns of the Patriots, boxes are seen even less there.. especially in GOTP! that game straight up replaced the box with a crappy barrel that you could easily see through because of all the holes in it, so bad but still so funny mowing down enemies with that thing

I was counting the codec conversations about boxes and the wolf piss trick in MGS1. If I don't count duplicate mechs I certainly can't count duplicate boxes!
But yes it is meant to be an imprecise gag chart. I only had one day to make it so no time for research. I would LOVE to see an accurate chart though.
Man I still haven't gotten to play MGS4, only watched playthroughs. Selling my 360 for a PS3 is sounding better and better.

yeah, sorry if i come across as an ass.. i just love this series a little too much(it's been a big part of my life), and it's not even that i'm looking for accuracy here because it is quite funny as is, in fact it is funnier because the game is manly conspiracy, plot twists, and giant anime mechs... so it's hilarious that stuff like the box and butt shots is more important xD
i am extremely ADD but i have played this game far too much so i am able to yammer on about this stuff for ages, but if i had just played mgs for the first time that is probably exactly how i would describe it xD

I have been armpit deep in the hardcore MGS fandom for several years. Your geeking out doesn't faze me a bit. No worries.
It still drives me crazy I wasn't able to fit shit like "Cutscenes" or "4th Wall Breaking" in. Those two additions alone would make a much more accurate chart.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
awesome:3 then i internet high five you my MGS fan friend^-^
and yes, those are pretty big parts too._. but i could imagine how hard it would be to try and explain those with pictures
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I assume cutscenes would have something MGS4-related, 4th wall breaking would probably be a vibrating controller. Or maybe the HIDEO black screen.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ok i derped on the 4th wall stuff cause at least everything psycho mantis does is an easy reference.. but i still don't know how you could convey cutscene as a picture>.>..
idk, i may be derppin again, i just had a bunch of coffee with some friends so i might be to wired to try and remember junk.. i'm more likely to start playing the game xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Cutscenes might be one character asleep and drooling on themselves while another rambles about nanomachines or how it rained the day he was born.
Oh man you talk (type?) so different while hyped up on coffee.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ah, yeah, that would be a good way to go about:] "and then we injected you with fox die.... are you even awake?.. snaaaaaake!?" hahaha!xD
you yankin my chain?=3= i didn't notice a difference._. well, except that i sound like a tard cause i forgot an "a" and then slightly over used the word "derp">.>

I think MGS1 is probably the least bad about excessive cutscenes, but there are still several points where you can put down the controller and get a sammich or something.
Hm, you don't use more emoticons or capitalize or misspell. Maybe it's just the power of suggestion...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, MGS1 was pretty bad about makin you wait through all the story, but i was too obsessed with it to care about skipping it, it was like playing a really intense movie:}.. it even felt kinda bad when i couldn't save meryl the first timeT-T
yeeeaah, i my text patterns aren't usually the same.. it's most likely because unlike verbal speech i can see text and so i am more inclined to take a different route so as to not become repetitive:/
"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.">.>

I find the cutscenes in MGS games entertaining enough that I don't mind their length (also it means less sneaking/dying constantly). However, I'm too much of a monster to feel bad for any of the characters, instead finding enjoyment in their pain. This is why I draw horrible things like Gray Fox after he got crushed by REX.
I wonder if it would weird people out if I suddenly changed typing patterns. Maybe using more abbreviations and way too many emoticons...

well to be honest i felt bad because my button mashing skills just couldn't last all (2-3) rounds.__. and i agree, sad things can be quite amusing:3
do it.. see what happens

Hm...I'll try that tonight maybe.

If you didn't I would think there was something wrong.
