3 years ago I opened my very first podcast episode about video games, by talking about movies and Jean-Luc Godard for several minutes. itโ€™s fine though because it was an episode about a Hideo Kojima game

With the release of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, there's never been a better time to go back and listen to the very first episode of Select and Start, where @manuclearbomb.bsky.social and I talked about the legacy of the original Snake Eater.

I did not attempt to rehabilitate the Virtual Boy in my latest for Endless Mode, but I did lament that the limits of the technology and disinterest in exploring it further kept us from ever seeing what developers would eventually be capable of with it, as happens with every platform given time.

Employees at Arkane have joined the BDS movement against their owners, Microsoft. Theyโ€™re risking their livelihood by applying pressure from within because they know standing in solidarity with the Palestinian people is the right thing to do. We must apply pressure from outside
