I have zero tolerance for nonsense.

Your comments will be removed.

hello good sir, would you mind putting up a link to the MP3's of both of these interviews, i had them ut they got erased, and TUS doesn't have them on their site no more :(

[BigBossIsBack]

I don't have a link, but I can Rapidshare them.

Will that work?

[BOSSWDS]

HAHA This is funny stuff

[BigBossIsBack]

Part of what makes this whole interview so great is the random humor throughout. I love it.

[TheKT1]

Does anyone know when this has been recorded?

[BigBossIsBack]

It's before MGS4 but after Twin Snakes...and after the "Water Snake" camo.

Does anyone know when the 20th anniversary happened? June 2007ish, I think. So around then.

[Keranu]

Thanks for the fantastic interview! It's great to hear any kind of behind the scenes material relating to Snatcher, especially from the localization view.

[Tehstroyer]

So, 2 years ago someone asked for the whole interview in one audio file. Anyone has it?

[Gamescook]

I thought Guy Cihi was a small-time commercial actor or accountant living in Japan, something small but respectable. But Guy Cihi is a millionaire entrepreneur!? My word, I had NO idea!

[McMullersAMM]

Wait so that credits song in Snake tales with Scott Dolph rapping, was a pisstake on the real Scott Dolph? Awesome...

[MatticusFinch1820]

I agree MGS1 had the most natural voice acting, you can tell how shitty it got when you play the MGS1 remake for gamecube. Naomi and Mei Ling and Nastasha lost their accents, everyone sounded bored and in MGS 3 volgin was horribly voiced and the cobra unit was a joke voice wise.

but i have to say David Hayter, Christopher randolf, Debbi Mae West and a few others have always been good, but by far MGS1 PSX had the best.

[LOVS2SPOOG]

DAVID HAYTER IS KING

[DooderMcAltair]

I like candid stuff like this.

[mrbubblewand]

Oh gawd, the name Scott Dolph sounded *really* familiar so I looked it up.

Scott Dolph, a.k.a. "Scotty D." from DDR. Particularly known for singing "Drop the Bomb" plus a number of other songs for Bemani games by Konami. -_-; You can probably find them on YouTube.

Hilarious that I hear about him in such a light, haha.

[Rahk]

Thanks for uploading this.

I'd also really appreciate a Rapidshare link if it's not too much trouble.

[nabeman]

yes please, that would be kind of you, thanks. ^_^
