    On this episode, we start our second tour of duty on the Big Shell. 

    Will we develop whole new bits around MGS2? Will we uncover new secrets and development details? Or, will it be "a dud"? You decide.

    #241: Metal Gear Solid 2 (2001) Revisited - Part 1 - Development & The Tanker

    Send us a text

    We have to go back! 

    We're finally tackling a pet project we've had on our minds for years, we're remastering our coverage of Metal Gear Solid 2. The first timers joining us for this foray into the past are James Reichmuth and Chad Betteridge. 

    We're incredibly excited to talk all things MGS2, so we kick off the episode with a ton of development history before diving into the generalities of the game, and conclude the episode by fully covering the events that transpire during the Tanker chapter. 

    This season is going to be a good one.

    #237: Metal Gear Solid Delta (2025) - Part 6 - The Finale

    Send us a text

    We've finally reached the end of our tale. This episode concludes coverage of the main game, but next episode we'll be covering all of the bonuses and giving our final thoughts on the remake as a complete package. 

    *side note: Alessio's mic volume was accidentally bumped up a bit on the physical interface, so at times he comes AWFULLY close to clipping / minorly clips. This may also impact the upcoming PRGE episode. We'll course correct for the upcoming Delta release. Apologies!
