For the real MGS effect they should somehow trick Drew into playing the PS1 version of Castlevania SOTN on that PS3 and make sure they use the same virtual memory card

Dan has spoiled that for Drew.

hi, English degree guy here. "Gods will be watching, but giving you a break" is grammatically correct, but it's really gross. if you're writing regular prose, phrasing shouldn't make your brain trip, even if the grammar checks out. I'd probably draw the little "phrasing" thing on a student's paper that did that.

The funny thing about English grammar is that, despite what jerks on the internet will tell you, is that if you can read something and it makes sense to you, you can probably prove it to be grammatically correct. I had a grad school professor prove to the class that "I can't get no satisfaction" is both grammatically correct and it does actually mean "I can't get any satisfaction" if you want it to. Double negatives don't always make a positive, this isn't math. There are "understood" portions of speech.

I'm no poet, but "Gods will be watching, but they will also be giving you a break" is probably the easiest to understand, if also probably the clunkiest way to write it.

Or maybe like "Gods will be watching- but they'll cut you a break."

tl:dr grammar is fucked, and never believe someone on the internet if they tell you your grammar is wrong.

postscript: that's still a terrible headline.

A sobering conversation about Gods watching.

I guess maybe Patrick saw this thread. The headline is different now. Anyway, thanks stump sock.

SF has been so prolific lately I haven't been thinking about GBeast all that much.

You know I really wish GBNY was able to make another hire. I've been struggling to watch their QLs because the Alex/Vinny combo can only keep me interested for so long and I like both those dudes.

I wonder how people will feel about the MGS series once they see how Dan plays the game. He isn't a fan of stealth so I wonder if it's going to be alerts the majority of the time. It's not really going to bother me since I've accepted that all the GB guys suck at stealth but I could see it getting some of the same criticisms as the Chronotrigger ER.
