    A MGS series (which i have not played a single game of) sounds pretty perfect for me. But then again just about any feature (premium feature?) with Drew is a definite watch for me.

    Edit: Also, Dan has fantastic chemistry with anyone on the squad, so that's again... perfect.

    The main series will be great to watch. Drew's reaction to MG Rising will be lifesaving.

    Yes. Maybe not absolutely every bit from start to finish of the games, but instead more of an Alt+F1 but expanded upon. Drew plays and makes notes, maybe they play together and record a session once in a while where they go over Drews findings and flabbergastings like.

    I think it's a good idea, but I think Dan is doing enough premium stuff already. Maybe when he finishes his wow thing.

    Before they played that demo I'd say no but it seems like Dan actually likes Metal Gear.

    Not since speculating about the possibility of Brad playing through Demon's Souls have I been this excited about a hypothetical feature idea. Metal Gear Scanlon would be fucking awesome.

    The MGS series is fresh on my mind after starting the series for the first time at the beginning of the summer so I'd love to see Drew discover all the crazy shit that was blowing my mind while playing through it.

    Just thinking about Drew witness the end of MGS2 makes me so excited.

    I think the ratio on my MGS4 run was something like 9 hours of gameplay to 20+ hours of cutscene. If they did this run, there would be entire 1hr+ episodes of nothing but cutscene.

    That would be awesome. I wouldn't mind seeing Brad get in on that action a bit since he seems to be the staff's resident Metal Gear nerd.

    This has greatness written all over it.

    Also, are we just calling Dan and Drew D&D now? That was quick lol

    I wouldn't watch it, but I hope the fact that I wouldn't will not affect others from being able to enjoy it. MGS just has never been a fun franchise for me to watch or play.

    Never clicked with me for whatever reason.

    Only if Drew is up for it. There's no point forcing him through a series he's genuinely not interested in.

    I'm pretty sure the wedding in MGS4 is about 30 minutes longer than the wedding in The Godfather. Endurance Run isn't going to work.

    What would they do during the 30 minute cutscenes?

    Piss off half the viewers by making jokes over them? Or bore the other half the viewers by watching them?

    Dan would be explaining the series to Drew obviously. Also they are awesome cutscenes so wash that mouth out with pea-soup!

    Definitly, although I would prefer a good solid Drew and Dan simulation corner weekly special, or whatever dumb name such an awesome feature would have.

    Also bring back Dave for some flight sim triple D action.

    MGS would be cool though yeah.

    I would, though I'm not a fan of telling the crew what they should/should not be doing, if only because surprises are great.
    I didn't know that I wanted to see all of them play 50-turn Mario Party, but that changed quickly.

    No. I'd rather watch Dan play something he's not comfortable with...like...Mike Tyson's Punch Out or Mario Bros 2 on NES.

    I would think running at least Ground Zeros is a fun idea and wouldn't and shouldn't take too long and is chalk full of the nutty goodness Kojima is known for.

    It's kind of refreshing to see someone who loves the Metal Gear franchise so much. I had very similar experiences to Dan regarding the series. When I played it for the first time on the PSX everything blew me away - especially the little details. Like crawling into the vent and backing out to see Meryl workout in less and less clothing or the infamous Psycho Mantis fight. Seeing as the rest of the staff in the feelings for Metal Gear in the office range from mild indifference to complete disdain, it's nice to see someone that doesn't think it's just "ho hum complete bullshit."

    Combine this with stealth mechanics + pacing problems, and you have really problematic game series for this kind of thing. Anything from D&D get automatic 'YES' but there are better options out there.

    I feel like they already have enough at the moment, with the demo-disc thing, and with Dan and Drew being the most productive Quick Look-ers lately. Maybe after the demo-disc thing is done, but I'd prefer something they can experience fresh; I've never been a huge fan of hearing people recall games while playing them for long stretches of time.
