Let's Play Merry Gear Solid 2 - 4 - Cold Reception

[bowpow1]

Take a shot whenever you hear a pun

[lordettecursedwolfy]

Snake can speak backwards

[ZoanBlade90]

8:40 You're banging your head on the desk,are'nt you?

[Bluecho4]

I fucking love this guy! He's like Schumaker's Mr. Freeze (starring the govenator) and the security guard from Psychonauts were fused together into a milk tossing, pun dropping masterpiece of horrible awesomeness!

And damn is his backstory not poetic in and of itself. In a hilarious kind of way.

[Atomsk648]

THE PUNS GOD THE PUNS THEY HURT SO MUCH

[soriofan2]

enemys that bleed milk have extremely tough bones?......question would it matter how strong your bones are if you bleed to death?

[lo0katmyn4me]

wasnt Jack Frost Santa's son?

[thatguyoverthere12]

Not Mr.Freeze!!! It's Sub-Zero!!!

[punkband14]

JESUS CHRIST STOP TALKING WORDSWORDSWORDSWORDSWORDSWORDS

SO MANY WORDS make it stop oh god please

[1Haze1]

ah, the puns are fantastically bad, and your loathing of them only makes it more enjoyable :)

[thebladeofchaos]

so python from PO who couldn't control his heat due to being shot, had a son who couldn't control the milk because...why?

[xarboy5000]

I hated this guy so much. We have Norton, so i couldn't change the time on my profile. So i had to leave the game up, log out, and have my mom log in to change the time on her profile. I'm just glad he can't actually hurt you, or i'd would've been in trouble.

[DeceasedCrab]

@xarboy5000 Start capitalizing your letter "I". Also, that's sad. You do know that if you leave it alone for a couple minutes, Otacon will change the time for you, in case you're in an unlikely scenario where you can't do it.

But no, you had to get your Mom to help you. And then you told the internet.

You're going to have a difficult time in high school.

[BBPatterson12]

You know, if you happened to take a webcam to show us your room, and there happens to be a big divot in the middle of your computer desk formed from all the head-desking you do in these LPs, I wouldn't be any at all surprised.

[harisGTJ]

was this released before or after mgs4?

[DeceasedCrab]

@harisGTJ After.

[pablo4222]

gotta say that the way to defeat the boss was pretty damn smart

[blaze1007]

could jack frost talk any slower?

[lillbrorsan]

There is way too much dialogue in this game.

[kaiserzero61]

Those were some epic headdesks.

[npiper]

I always thought milk was supposed to be best warm and straight from he cow...

[Shadowsinger001]

Heh nice little Reference to the Fight with "The End" in MGS3 with that time changing trick.

[razorthecurse]

holy crap you're beating the shit out of kids with candy canes...

[dmboogie1]

DC! Even though it might be a wallbanger, it doesn't mean you have to actually bang your head on the wall!

[Magitek111]

Mr. Freezenegger:WHAT KILLED THE DINOSAURS? THE ICE AGE!!

[vegassilenttype]

Milk can't be kept all that cold... if you bring it below 36 degrees it seperates from the water and starts to damage the protiens in the milk. Dairy isn't even considered 'low temperature' in refrigeration. Oh well, stupid fact

[ZOyacks]

Did you just get the Cold Shoulder? Does Jack Frost have an ICY stare? Do you know the way to San Jose?

[nohophil]

Milk-Man! (a.k.a. Jack Frost, but Milk Man is a more accurate reference to this boss.)

Puns, when spoken, are painful as it is. One after the other in short succession they become torture...

That is the essence of this games' Codec cut-scenes.

[DeceasedCrab]

Why would you even WANT that? Just... just stop. Don't answer that. Think about the mistakes in your life that led you to this juncture, and correct them.

[Huntershows]

He lost me when he started babbling on about beads of moisture on milk bottles and freshness. I mean, it's freshest when it's warm and comes out of a cow, you know?

[AirTylerFilms]

The painful puns they are everywhere in this game.

[Maximusmadrica]

Did you just bang your head on your desk? Someone should stop playing and pet his cat.

[dismalelysium88]

COLD BATTLE!

...

Oh God, that was the worst pun of the century. I'm sorry. I'll never do it again. On this video at least. 8D

[tempest620]

Who ever wrote this game was on drugs.

[noxkokay]

That was corny and epic at the same time, if thats possible.

[PiccoloNo92]

Oh my this game would drive anyone insane. It is cleverly done though =)

[otakuploader]

[Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump.] You okay? Need some aspirin?

[Kaitsu009]

Ahhhhhh! Punsplosion!

[darkowl9]

It is a present filled... with dialogue!

[MettanAtem]

The Ghost of Christmas Present should've said:

"I am the Milk Man. My milk is delicious."

[supershadey09]

@MettanAtem "And the world shall run white with his rage"

[PariahEnigma]

Y'know, with all these Kojima references flying about, there damn well better me a Boktai reference somewhere in this. Goodness knows they have the dialogue space for it.

[DrakeNightwing]

I don't know what's worse.

The fact that the Milkman confirmed who I THOUGHT he really was...

...or the fact I plainly saw it coming two videos ahead.

[AndrewRedroad]

Ahh... the familiar sound of DC banging his head on some unknown solid object: How I miss it so.

[DeceasedCrab]

It's a desk.

[solrac1391]

So many milk puns...they must have curdled to a fine "cheesy."

[Quickflames]

I got a buffer exactly when that first milkbomb was right above your head. XD

Lots of puns also. o .o

[Cloaytonem2]

The puns...ugh...I don't think I'll be drinking milk for a while now...

[IIR34P3RII]

"Fine, you want to play funny, it's March 28th now" great stuff DC :)

[UsaSatsui]

That is the absolute stupidest way of beating a boss I have ever seen.

[Shadowsinger001]

@UsaSatsui Then I suppose you also feel the same about saving during the fight with "The End" in MGS3 and then setting your system clock ahead and having him die of old age? (that's what this boss's gimmick was a reference to)

[sn0wspider]

It's a pundemic!

[ravenreine]

I am a lover of puns but this is painful to watch.

[gumibaer23]

Good looorrrrddd jack frost talks a lot. It took up like 90% of the video. I like hearing your voice better. It's not as blah blah milk blah blah bad pun blah blah milk again.

[SomeGuy712x]

Head-desk: Apply directly to the forehead.

Head-desk: Apply directly to the forehead.

Head-desk: Apply directly to the forehead.

Head-desk is available wherever bad puns are said nationwide.

[Mobius14]

@SomeGuy712x WHAT DOES HEADDESK DO?!?

[PantaroParatroopa]

Setting the Computer Clock forward to spoil the Milkman?...

GENIUS!!!!!

[MadcowDead]

Never before in my life have I wished to inflict laryngitis on someone so badly

[Gorillazareking]

Ooh! The Policenauts reference gave me a good idea. I love Kojima, but I'll probably never get a chance to play any of his other games. Could you possibly make an LP of Policenauts or Snatcher? I'd really appreciate it, and I'm sure that everyone else would too. Thanks! Love your LPs.

[iscrewy]

In MGS3 you could easily defeat The End boss (his name was the end he wasn't the last boss) by setting the PS2's clock ahead 1 week.

[zettovyker]

Well, terrible puns are one way of breaking the ice...

[gamer2774]

ye gods, these puns are terrible

[Artix3000]

Is the Holid Eye ever needed? I played through the game twice, never needed it.

(Besides prior to the TADPOLE ambush, but that can be done with another item.)

[Izardwizard]

Oh the DC Headdesk, Oh, how I have missed you.

[Forzatoadv]

MERRY GEAR!?

[Kodaim1]

Yes, Merry Gear!

[Zangamarth]

I'm frozen in terror from these cold puns!

[OmegaFlareBlade]

Codec Gear Solid.

[grungejuice]

Please...No more puns...I...I can't take it anymore!!! Aaaah!

[DocIdo]

Dear sweet mother of pearl, the PUNS!

[mokesmoe]

I am the milkman. My milk is delicious.

[UrlynVinx]

Merry Gear. MERRY GEAR.

I think at that point, I would have just stopped playing the game altogether. I have to give props to you for sticking it out for this LP, DC. Bad puns, OK, I get that. But turning Metal Gear into Merry Gear...makes me want to create a time paradox so that this game never existed.

Was kinda neat that they pulled the Psycho Mantis trick out of hibernation, though. No pun intended.

[saradomingod5]

*thump, thump, thump, thump*...

ow...

For some reason, this made me laugh incredibly loud. But dang, these snow/ice puns are getting so old, they should have melted a long time ago :P

[Ariamaki]

Wow, the GoCP fortified his loudness?

Or does he mean forte, as in the word pronounced FORT?

Either way, screw that dude... although, classy, understated ""lactose intolerance" joke there makes me want to say he is an OK dude.

[zaperatus]

The way to beat this boss is just silly.

[evilmiera]

Why are you playing this :( It's like a combination of all the worst parts of MGS.

[DeceasedCrab]

Mostly so that no one gets the urge to play it themselves. This way, you can watch the entire game (on mute if you so desire) without having to suffer through the backtracking.

The puns are THAT bad, as you've seen. And the joke IS funny, but they took it too far this time.

[Voltgloss]

Listen to DC. I got curious and played through it. The puns... they're not the worst of it. The worst is the backtracking. Dear God, the backtracking.

It's a clear example of a parody going too far down the rabbit hole and turning INTO the thing which is parodied.

[vortigaunt25]

Wow, poor DC...These puns are going to be the end of him...

[Jigglysaint]

At least there's no Bat Credit Card in this game.

[abridgedfan]

no much dialogue. so far, I'm liking the first one better gameplay wise!

[funnymonky19]

aaaaaaaah the puns they burn!

[puretay]

Man. Who came up with these puns? It's not very nice. You might even say it's a bit... cold.

[Raditz86]

You really gotta stop playing head-desking games. You got your brain to worry about! heh ^^;

[Skelengar]

I am the milkman.  My milk is delicious.

[Jigglysaint]

10 minutes of my life wasted and all I've got to show for myself is...the sudden urge for a frosty cold glass of milk. Maybe a few cookies too. Man we arn't going to run into a guy throwing Oreos are we?

[SWAnimus01]

THE PUNS! THEY'RE POPPING MY BRAIN CELLS ONE BY ONE!

(Still, despite the overabundance of facepalm-worthy moments, I like this game.)

[MegaManNetwork]

must not make Psychonauts reference - can't stop myself!

I AM THE MILKMAN! MY MILK IS DELICIOUS!

[GogglesMcGee]

Oh god.

[ShadowkingA321]

Too. Many. PUNS. Brain. Is.Hurting. Overusing. Periods.

[rushfan212]

the enemy... is a milk man....... wow...

[PocketEmerald]

At least he did not say "ICE to meet you!"

[UltimaKeyMaster]

Wow, that's a clever boss tactic...and reference all at the same time.

Wait...Jack Frost!? What happened to your old, small, adorable self from the Shin Megami Tensei games!

Ah well...perhaps he just needed to CHILL out for a while.

Or maybe...his cold attitude...had him on THIN ICE! (insert CSI Miami YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH here)

[felly1329]

Considering the fact that he's dying, Jack Frost sure has a lot to say.

[TheTomBomb388]

8:29 *headdesk*

[MasterAsra]

Oh god my brain.

[Meanderthal17]

Though I never got the Holid-eye...

[Meanderthal17]

That little knock on the wall and then stab technique has helped me out a lotttt. But I'm at the part where you have to go alllllllllllllllllllllllllllll­lllllllllllllllllllllllll the way back it sucks

[Xandrack]

The puns...OH GOD THE PUNS!

[Chocobored]

Seriously, this reminds me of times when I was translating the Aeneid. There was the queen of Carthage, Dido, who fell on a sword, then had a very, very long speech, going on and on until she finally died at the end of the chapter. Ugh.

Anyway, this game seems interesting, ignoring the long and plentiful codec calls. I might try to play this DC. Try not to knock yourself into a coma, ok?

[DragonslayerProd]

As someone who loves cold milk and hates the fact that nobody understands milk, this was a great episode.

[DarkReaper1994]

"It is a present filled with ice!"

Really, you don't say? Because I never would have figured out what you were saying without you explaining it to me.

[monkeyman423]

The amount of puns in this game is lethal.

[thebaggedavenger]

I feel bad for milk now. I take fresh milk for granted..

[JayKRiot]

The puns, combined with DC's commentary, are just too ridiculous for me.

[dandamaniac848]

One word describes the Nova Cane: Epic.

[Vailhaveblueskin]

man oh man, that milkman is the best character ever. a villain with power over all that is dairy!

[InfraredCentipede]

5 minute dialogues are super cool.

[teath123]

Gotta hand it to him, dude loves his milk.

[RSCNyx]

Alright. So, after watching that entire video, I am left with two questions.

...What just happened? And why WILL THE PUNS NEVER STOP? Hopefully when he's dead, there will be less of them. Just...slightly? Maybe?

[DeceasedCrab]

I don't no, and definitely no.

[wetdesert]

Good job on the exPUNction of the milk man DC.

[BygPhattyPlus]

Merry Gear... Come on, DC. You KNEW it was coming...

Changing the time clock is actually kinda clever. Not even Kojima thought of that one!

[Zinayzen]

I personally think it's damn hilarious.

[CloudHiro]

that was some loud headdesking there.

[Jagobah]

I'm surprised you didn't take out those two kids, what with how much you enjoy nova caning them.

[BaronCreel]

So.... many... painful.. puns... Your voice is the only thing making this BEARable the second time around.

[Gh0stXer0]

My god, this game has either tied or broken the number of "cold" puns you can make in one sitting, previously held by Batman and Robin.

[HiperShadowX2]

wow, that is a creative way of beating a boss

keep up the good work!!! :D

[Raethen4e]

Merry gear?! Don't worry DC, just keep your cool and there's snow way you'll lose.

Stay frosty!

[heroteen16]

"HAHA VICTORY FOR ME! VICTORYCRAB!"

You really live to beat down children.

[HiperShadowX2]

wow, that is a creative way of beating a boss

awesome work, keep up the good work!!!

:D

[Cajaquarius]

There maybe a lot of text and seemingly more codec time than play time but, in a way, that is pretty much exactly the same way all the metal gear solid games played out as I recall. It makes it quite a good homage to the source material - they definitely have Kojima's crzy writing and sense of humor down pat.

[RedBzerkr]

Man DC, It sounded like your head was going "thumpidy thump thump" over the dialog in this game.

[MrKeggsXBL]

Go DC!

[UniversumExNihilo]

I think I'm going to file a lawsuit against these puns for hurting so bad.

[DeceasedCrab]

I tried to warn you all!

[sn0wspider]

Wow, it seems this game is more about the pundamentals than anything else.

...It's a pundemic!

[DantesInfeno]

Python from Portable Ops! :D

[RankAndFileGuy]

lets drink Milk for the COLD times xD hahahah

[Nightfalcon000]

Blah blah blah puns, blah blah blah milk, blah blah blah Merry Gear, blah blah blah Three Wise Men.

This game needs to give more time letting you toss kids about.

[DeceasedCrab]

It'll give us plenty of that when it requires us to backtrack the length of the mall 3 times over.

[Nightfalcon000]

Could the enjoyment of torturing the poor children, possibly be what gets you through all these puns?

[AndrewRedroad]

"That precludes the possibility of a no win situation." The fact is that torturing small children will never bring back lost brain cells.

[DimJim12]

I felt like such an idiot during that fight. I had the general idea of how to defeat him, but I didn't know you had to do THAT.

[ratboy2713]

that solution is a little too metagamey for me. I like puzzles, but you have to draw the line somewhere

[Demon2k3]

somehow the game begins to grow onto you with all the puns...

[ZeroX24]

Milk almost reminds me of Mr. Freeze from the Batman Forever movie

[Introbulus]

...Wow...this guy is worse than Doctor Freeze from Batman & Robin.

[Icerama108]

Wait. Shoudln't. Merry Gear be more like Arsenal or Ray considering that this is 2?

[RyouX2]

Wow cutscene went so long it actually overshadowed gameplay XD

[Skelengar]

it's just being faithful to the source material.

[DeceasedCrab]

The bad parts of the source material.

[Icerama108]

:D Yay I like Ice.

[LogicalMadness]

'...Just like COLD times'

God damn. v.v

[acrichardson1]

8:28 Headdesk?

[marsgreekgod]

This game is so odd... (I just beat it yesterday)

[MalusCalibur]

DC, I did the exact same thing at 8:28. This game is just....gah. Very amusing, but the puns are going to kill us all.

Milk Bombs? REALLY?!

[MichaelSaniyan]

Head, meet desk. Desk, meet head.

[Bladedlightning]

DC had to cut out at the end to avoid rupturing his brain with more Batman and Robin Movie puns.

[TheHelldragon]

"Dying Monologues." A seven act play by Jack Frost.

[LeonLethality]

PUNS!

[ChoocoboYao]

More hilarious work DC, any secret?

GO DC!

[ProjectFumika]

so much dialog

[Shaderaygun]

Every metal gear game needs novacane

[LaZodiac]

I am the Milkman. I must deliver the milk. Nothing can stop me from delivering the milk.

[himitsusj]

Woo Psychonauts!

[hyphz]

Wow.  And I thought the Evil Postmen in Free Realms were a daft idea..

[lordpraiser69]

Awesome stuff DC. So have you ever played the real MGS games? Seeing as you know the puns and all.

[DeceasedCrab]

All but 4.

[DivineAll]

The ice puns are worse here than puns from Batman And Robin... if such a thing was possible.

[CPCGamer]

It's nice to see Kojima's "You've killed me but I'm going to tell you my life story anyway" thing still lives on.

[KamikazeIsaaku]

let me guess, the passcode is similiar to the "WHO ARE THE PATRIOTS?" Password?

La-le-lu-la-lo will now be FA-La-La-la-la?

[DeceasedCrab]

You weren't paying attention in the introduction video, clearly. They're the Ha He Ho Ho Ho.

[lookurgy]

Great work but this game was kidna slow. :P keep it up

[DeceasedCrab]

Ridiculously slow.

[TheMiniShottty931]

Don't you mean, kinda SNOW!

[Ixthraxus]

These puns are frostrating.

[kawaiininjakat]

And what happened then...? Well, in Youtube they say that Deceased Crab's poor head got three head-desks that day.

[minaimo]

oh my did you acyually bang your head against something (the desk?)

[IceKit85]

The puns...they're killing me...:(

[eurojoru]

Too much talking,shut up otakon!

[DrolKeegEht]

I had to stop the video at around 1:50, go to the hospital, and be checked out for brain tumors that make me see and hear YouTube videos in stupid-o-vision, or if the writing was just that bad.

They weren't sure either.

[DeceasedCrab]

So, I don't want to mute the voice acting, and I don't want to talk over them in case people want to hear it. But the writing and pacing is awful, and I desperately want the cutscenes to end.

[passtheketchup123]

I miss hearing you hit your head against the desk. Haha!

Good times. Possible brain damage, but good times.

[AndrewRedroad]

Whats life with no brain damage?

[1337Snook]

Victory for you!

[XtraAbnormalNews]

You could've taken that first guy out near the camera way easier, but you get 20+ points for coolness and style.

[DeceasedCrab]

I've never known "the right way" to get past that part. I've always done it this way.

[Gorillazareking]

What's the opposite of a deceased crab? A zombie lobster? Just saying.

[AndrewRedroad]

A living lobster, and you've hit a sore nerve.
