This week in Retronauts is OSP only on site plot analysis. Oh, Hi everyone welcome to retro-nots. I am your host this episode. Jeremy Parish and we have snuck our way into

Outer Heaven to talk about the legacy, the history, and really above all, plot that spaghetti plate of plot of the

Metal Gear games and with me here I have two of the world's foremost metal

gear experts or at least people who really enjoy the series.

Let's go in alphabetical order by first name so that would be you Shane. Welcome back.

It's been a while and I feel like we've done Metal Gear over the last 15 years a few times. So I woke up this morning

a little stressed out like it was a test and I was going to be having to answer Manusha. So I'm glad it's not a solo sneaking mission and that I have

someone else here it helped back me up if you do it. Yeah absolutely no no it's you know I

feel like this episode's going to be really kind of a softball episode. Like I feel like this is just something we can

BS about and extemporize about. I didn't put together notes for this episode, which is something I would normally do, especially

for an episode about something as Byzantine as the Metal Gear Plot Line, but I I thought you know what Hidi

Kojima always winged it why can't we wing it too I do appreciate you and so

it's very cavalier to have no notes for something that has like 10 hour explainer videos on YouTube.

So yeah, I'm glad we're just going to make it up as we go.

Those are just YouTube padding.

And also we have our ace in the hole here calling in from California as well.

We have another recurring guest on the show, although have we been together on an episode recently anytime soon?

I don't think we have.

It's been a little bit.

Anyway, I'm Tom Hewlett everybody and this is just like one of my Japanese anime podcast.

That's true.

More than you know.
