On Saturday, we sat through hours of cut scenes and finished Act 1. Kojima is known for his crude, childish humor. When we first see Akiba, he is 'busy' hiding in a barrel. Later in the game, when Meryl Silverburgh introduces us to Akiba, ElMico says (using Snake's cigarette voice), "I have your barrel."
I was laughing - almost crying.
In the midst of a game with its serious themes of war, death, and bad relationships there is this comic relief - most of the time it is distracting - I don't like it. It brings me back to reality when I'd rather stay immersed. But accolades to ElMico for bringing it to a zenith and reminding me that I play games for fun.
We continue to have fun with the barrel: running people over and vomiting our breakfast.

"I have your barrel."
One of the purposes of this blog is to remember some of my great gaming moments. One happened this past weekend playing Metal Gear Solid: Guns of the Patriots with ElMico.
On Saturday, we sat through hours of cut scenes and finished Act 1. Kojima is known for his crude, childish humor. When we first see Akiba, he is 'busy' hiding in a barrel. Later in the game, when Meryl Silverburgh introduces us to Akiba, ElMico says (using Snake's cigarette voice), "I have your barrel."
