Odds and ends Sept. 2, 2015

I FINALLY got to play The Phantom Pain... Damn that Prologue, damn that Prologue to Hell!
Don't get me wrong, it's so freaking awesome, and so freaking tedious at the same time. The Rest fo the game? What little I have played... mostly fooling around Afghanistan, but basically:

Peace Walker is Bruce Banner and Phantom Pain is The Hulk.

I still hate Queefer Sutherland as Big Boss. Now I'm going to hit you right in the Feels!


Won't be bale to get my Matty Package until Saturday. Eh, gives me a few more days of Phantom Paining... Not really. It's that RLJob duties interfere with my Toy Collecting...

Now that Jmmy Snuka is being charged with Third Degree Murder... I guess that Vince will say that Mr. T ALONE WTH NO ONE ELSE IN THE RING OR AS A Manager/Escort/valet, whatever you want to call it. def. "Rowdy" Roddy Piper & "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff w/ Cowboy Bob Orton on an Unnamed Wrestling Pay Per View... Just like Andre the Giant decided to flop around the ring on his own on a third edition of the Unnamed Wrestling Pay Per View.

Fifteen years too late, but now the Dreamcast is selling like hotcakes! People are looking into what the hell is the appeal of Shenmue... They're ebaying Dreamcasts, the game... guess what SEGA is doing to capitalize on this?


NOTHING!!

Pre-Phantom Pain Blues...

This is it... A Journey that started in 1987 (I got in it for real in February, 1999) The FINAL METAL GEAR GAME IS NOW... Or will be in a few hours after Gamestop Opens up and I can get the game... Yes, I still support Gamestop and I've heard the horror stories. Only thing is that Gamestop is a convenient stop for me... But, we're talking MGS V, not Gamestop...

So, in a few hours, I'll be getting my copy of The Phantom Pain...
What am I expecting?
Long Installation time...
Day One Content Download...
Oops! I have to work...
Not play the game on DAY ONE because of this...

Hell! Ground Zeroes got a recent 197 MB Update Yesterday... FREAKING GROUND ZEROES...

HOPEFULLY the Install and Day One Content Download will be short enough for me to play at least 1 mission...

This rant is also a warning about the possibility of decreased activity during this week and the next. I Promise, the August Matty Stuff will come out of the Toy Chest ASAP... I need to get them first. Also, I'll eventually review The Phantom Pain.

Update!!!
Got the game for PS3. Day 1 update 154MB right out the bat...

And yes, I was suckered into buying a Strategy guide... can't use my phone as an iDroid and surf the web for hints at the same time...

28 minutes until I can play the game...

Update #2:
Installed the game. Started it up... Power failure by the time the first playable moment shows up...
