500+ hour Metal Gear marathon on Twitch started today

Got a while yet it seems.

Wonder if they can manage to squeeze 10 and a half hours out of GZ. I'm out of the stream once TPP starts though.
 
Twitch's word really is the final word because they are the ones who will be doing the banning. It doesn't matter what Konami is saying unless they update Twitch officially.
 
I wonder how much their viewership is going to drop off at 12am EST tonight. I've been watching a ton but I won't be watching the stream again until I finish TPP.

Yeah, same here. I'm hoping someone archives all the first playthrough stuff. I need those first time reactions.
 
I think Psycho Mantis is the most intriguing thing about the trailers
 
I think this channel could reach #1 for TPP. I don't think even the most popular streamer is gonna topple them. This has been a long time coming.
 
Are they not playing MGS4 today? Saw MGS2 going on last night.

Seems they figured there wouldn't be enough time for an MGS4 playthrough so they were just going to do Ground Zeroes until given the ok to stream TPP. But I believe they thought they'd be able to stream TPP relatively soon instead of 12am Eastern. So not sure what's going on now.
 
threedogs rant about Rising being canon and messing up the clusterfuck that is the story of Raiden made me scratch my head.

The only thing it messed up was having Raiden returning to fight again when at the end of MGS4 he wanted to stop fighting and settle down with Rose and his son. But then he was suppose to that at the end of MGS2 so it's like why even stay mad at Rising at this point? I tune out every time they go on a Rising rant. Like who cares we got a badass game that still stuck to the core of Metal Gear IMO.
 
I think its a toss up between Snake Eater and MGS1 for my favourites to watch
 
Someone better archive this.

Reminder: they will be taking turns so Dogg's playthrough and everyone else's will be in chunks. Dogg will play 15-20 hours, then whoever wants to next will start their playthrough from the beginning, then the next person after that, and then it'll circle back to Dogg again continuing from where he left off. So, chances are you will see chunks of their playthroughs throughout the week at varying times.

I believe they might have said they're going to upload their first playthroughs to Youtube at some point as well? Since Twitch deletes past broadcasts after 60 days for partners.
 
Been watching these guys since they first started.

They are all incredible and they deserve getting that #1 stream once TPP is out.
 
The game can certainly be defined as a zeitgeist of the early 2000s. They actually changed a lot of stuff right before release due to 9/11.

Wasn't those scenes put into the "making of MGS2" PS2 disc?
 
lets hope pewdiepie doesnt stream it, though I dont know if the new youtube gaming stream is as popular yet but with him dear god..... OH GODSZ SNAKE WATZ YOU DOING....ummmmhellllooooo OH MIZ GAWD NO RUN AHHH RUN
 
nice!
I got the game this morning and played quite a bit so I'm really exited to see the first playthourghs of those guys.
Hopefully the vods won't be muted because of the music :|

have to wait till tomorrow at 10Am going to be hard not watching a stream but deff after done a few hours I will watch their early streams of it
 
Again I get its the rule but let twitch and Konami figure it out, don't let your ego get in the way because you may lose viewers. Again let them figure it out, dont get people to tell on them, talk about child like behaviour.
 
Breaking stream embargo is kinda shitty though. You can get away with it as a small channel but they never would. Kind of a shitty situation.
 
So many breaking the embargo, twitch not doing anything about it either it seems
 
Honestly I think Knight should have waited to make sure it wasn't going to happen again... it was a little premature. Just one outage in how many hours since he took over for Dogg? Like come on. Maybe there was another reason and he didn't want to say it as it's personal or something. But Dogg really kind of got shafted by not being able to get more sleep before TPP comes out tonight. :/

Edit: I guess he legitimately had ISP problems. :|

I thought it was pretty silly too.
 
What is with the salt in the stream all of a sudden, what happened?

Konami said you could stream TPP at the 1st Sep your time, twitch says Konami told them 5am GMT 12am ET.

So no-one has any idea

Knight is bothered by the contradiction between Twitch and KonamiEU on when it's OK to stream TPP. They're not streaming it (even though Drk and Dogg basically have it) because they don't want to risk their channel getting shut down. It pisses them off because it prevents them from being able to stream it while others right now are not caring and streaming it anyway when their channels should be shut down based on what Twitch said.

Knight seems the most mad about the lack of communication between Konami, Twitch, and specifically Knight/Dogg/Drk as well (even though they have a direct line to Twitch to answer them they don't answer).
