Media Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain & Ground Zeroes

So can someone tell me what's up with all the Moby **** references? Ishmael, Ahab, Pequod and the whaling boat at the beginning? What's the point of all of it?

Off the top of my head

Moby **** was about revenge, cultural and ethnic diverse groups on a ship, Ahab obsessed with wanting revenge because his ship had been destroyed. Its been a long time since I read the book, but “You can call me Ishmael” is one of the most memorable phrases in literature.

@Solidus Yes it is, but pls, stop, I'm an easy target right now.

 

[pturtle]

Not really... I thought Gaspar filled you in on the drama in the Marvel section. The fake account popped up again on the very day he self-terminated.

I know all that, I don’t think that makes him a bad person, for the most part he was always cool and cordial with everyone here. I think most of us in this thread are *******s to a certain degree, thats why theres so much drama in this thread

It's the literally the longest and most boring book ever written. I've never met anyone who's actually read it. But, if you did, that's a lifetime accomplishment. Just like reading out the Bible from beginning to end .

I'm glad we haven't had a fight in here in over a year, though. I'd say those years are safely behind us.

Except for Gaspar. The guy doesn't even know the proper usage of "buzzword", and he keeps arguing about it.

@Solidus Yes it is, but pls, stop, I'm an easy target right now.

No I won't, and yes YOU are.

anyone know how to unlock Mission 43? i did the important "yellow" side quests and beat all main missions to 42 ..

IIRC you get a call about that, but I don't know what would trigger it besides doing missions.

More boring than One hundred years of solitude?

Here's my unread copy of Di*ky Moe that I was going to use for a book report in grade 10. But, then I figured, hell naw. It's been on the shelf for 14 years now...

I read it for a class, it is pretty boring. It's one of the reasons I don't read regular books these days. I could read Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, The Bourne Novels (to an extent), but I couldn't go back to books like that.

I kinda had to read parts of the Bible for Religion class in Catholic school, I...would rather not say anything to avoid pissing off Christians

Yeah, I'm just trolling you Gaspar. Thanks for playing .

 

[The Skull]

Just getting into things, not very far in yet but really liking the game quite a bit, the mother base thing looks to be interesting, hopefully it can be developed more to serve as more interactive when there, took a couple of screen shots, not the best but I thought I would share anyway.

 

[FSLAR]

oh missed these

Oh yeah, I remember your friends gif craze those days, everybody was getting sick of it

I enjoyed it, and I'm not proud about it, not anymore.

Was worth it

Don't believe me. And bait is actually a buzzword.

fixed

Same, I can read everything but classic novels aren't my thing anymore, ironically I loved them when I was younger, the older I get the sillier the stuff I like.

I like to read mythology though, just read the epic of Gilgamesh, that ****'s cash yo.

Dude, you gave away your power levels, you can't bait me any longer.

Yeah, definitely bigger than One Hundred Years, and probably even more boring :lol

I only read comic books, and manga these days can't be bothered with anything else

Oh yeah, had to read Gilgamesh for a history class. Pretty good stuff, not gonna lie, I was intrigued.

Solidus's power level is maximum

But, I've only just started!

Solidus, it's too dangerous to go alone! Take this!

Sorry, this isn't a tag team.

 

[GasparZizou]

Oh ****, what a twist!

 

[FSLAR]

Sorry, this isn't a tag team.

This isn't, I just wanted you to use specific images. But coming after me? Well then!

When you're ready, I've got a ton of Friends gifs : among other things

 

[FSLAR]

Oh ****, what a twist!

You mean:

Did any of you guys try the chicken hat as yet? I heard that if you wear it, it even appears in the cutscenes. Would be cool to use it for those serious moments .
