How was the show? Gutted to miss it

Gutted you couldn't make, fella.

I met Wayno tonight and he still wouldn’t give me his PSN

Mate if I gave you that you'd have thought, "Wow, he's different in person than online, what an inauthentic arsehole." But now you know I'm an absolutely authentic arsehole, which is much better.

Not to mention that you and I share a hatred of Peace Walker that isn't only honest and true, but has only been enhanced by last night.

100%.

Last night watching all those cutscenes from the series on a big screen, the music swelling, being there with you guys I found myself forgiving some of the stuff I disliked from the series and coming away with new appreciation for stuff that I was nonplussed about. It was in some ways a very healing night, especially for MGS4. This didn't happen for me with two games. MGS1 because it's perfect. And Peace Walker. Not only did Peace Walker come out of the evening being the only game having not improved itself in any standing with me, it plumbed new depths I didn't think possible. I didn't think it was possible to be in room full of people who shared the same love and enthusiasm for something and yet still being utterly embarrassed by the thing we were there for. But PW did it spectacularly. It's Hideo's biggest sin Heaven's Divide is wasted on that game.

I had my MGS4 appreciation moment a few months back in my replay of it, glad you feel the same too. The Love Theme is great. There's still a heap of shite in there but it's a better game than I remembered if you ignore the insanity of the cutscene length in general. 

Although this one is worth it for the payoff.
