Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (Part I)

"The Hudson River, two years ago. We had classified intelligence that a new type of Metal Gear was being transported. The whole thing stank, but our noses had been out in the cold too long." The year: 2009. The world has changed in the aftermath of the Shadow Moses Incident. After Revolver Ocelot leaks the specs for Metal Gear REX, the world has entered a new arms race, with every nation-state, organization, and dotcom seeking to arm themselves with nuclear battle tanks. Two years after the USS Discovery oil tanker is destroyed in the Hudson River, the off-shore decontamination facility, Big Shell - a symbol of environmental protection and cooperation - is seized by a terrorist group calling themselves the Sons of Liberty. Employing the rogue special forces unit Dead Cell, the group demands thirty billion dollars in ransom. Their bargaining chip? The President of the United States. Their leader? A man calling himself Solid Snake... the legendary operative presumed dead and responsible for the sinking of the tanker in the first place. While Navy SEALs are sent in to handle the crisis, American special forces unit FOXHOUND also deploys a rookie operative: a whiny seventh-grader with anime hair named Raiden, who quickly discovers that there's a lot more going on with Big Shell that he was briefed on. And when the Navy SEALs are massacred, one thing is certain: Raiden's accidentally become important at work, and it's ruining his life.

Metal Gear Solid (Part II)

"So the Snake's finally come out of his hole? Are you ready now... my brother?" In the first feature film-length episode of Shadow Moses Book Club, our intrepid hosts face a gauntlet of daunting questions: can they possibly make sense the last two acts of METAL GEAR SOLID in a timely manner? Are Solid Snake and Steve1989MREInfo the same person? Which United States Senator has FOXDIE? Is this game actually about eugenics, or is it about something else? Is it secretly a brilliant piece of fin de siècle art for the twentieth century? Has Hideo Kojima ever met a woman before? Is Otacon Mormon? And - most importantly - did Matt ever manage to beat the Ninja? All of these topics and more are covered in the following 100+ minute long fever dream. We're sorry/you're welcome. Next episode: METAL GEAR SOLID 2, up through the end of the harrier boss fight. --- Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes cutscenes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8PrtD8aOTc [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8PrtD8aOTc] Ryan: @celebrityhottub.bsky.social [https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:ocytsitctktxvp4k3n2edgta] Matt: @mattbrown.bsky.social [https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:cvgfgkowwcxwpcrr5o6dq4lg] Victoria: @dirtbagqueer.rocks [https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:7lvxwobg2zrzgwpepyzxxjev] Show account: @shadowmosesbook.club [https://bsky.app/profile/shadowmosesbook.club]

episode Introductions + Metal Gear Solid (Part I) artwork

Introductions + Metal Gear Solid (Part I)

The year: 2005. While the end of the Cold War and an era of nuclear disarmament once promised a peaceful millennium, the world is less safe than ever. All around the world, governments struggle to dispose of the weapons of war they just spent a half-century developing. We now live in an age of genetic experimentation, classified weapons testing, and special forces units gone rogue. One such unit, FOXHOUND, has just seized the nuclear disposal facility on Shadow Moses Island. Their demands? The body of their deceased commanding officer, the visionary Big Boss. Their threat? Nuclear annihilation. Twenty-four hours are on the clock, and there's only one man for the job. A stupid, gullible, horny American operative, the legendary Solid Snake. Because even if the Cold War might be over, the next war will be fought by those it left behind. Next episode: The rest(?) of METAL GEAR SOLID (1998). --- Ryan: @celebrityhottub.bsky.social [https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:ocytsitctktxvp4k3n2edgta] Matt: @mattbrown.bsky.social [https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:cvgfgkowwcxwpcrr5o6dq4lg] Victoria: @dirtbagqueer.rocks [https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:7lvxwobg2zrzgwpepyzxxjev]

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
