PLEASE NOTE this article is purely in jest, and theory of how a person would actually play a "drinking game" of Metal Gear, were it to happen. I have no intention of playing it, nor do I seriously want to encourage anyone to drink irresponsibly or play this game as described. This is much more making a point of how repetitive some aspects of Metal Gear are, which would result in the drinking game version of this being impossible.
==========
With 2013 has bringing us kicking and screaming into May, now comes a little tradition in our family (well, when I say family, I mean the geeks that are my brother and I). We call it "Metal Gear May".
And this year I thought what better way to celebrate than with the Metal Beer drinking game! Crack out those spirits; line-up the shots; get your beers handy; lock up your daughters! And get ready to keep on fighting... or throw up trying.
You can generally swap the player in your group however you like; but the drinks make it that more interesting for bystanders. And if you're on your own, woe to you.
METAL BEER
(If two situations happen at the same time, the effect is cumulative unless stated)
ALL GAMES
*Down 1 shot for every time a newly-stated word or concept is immediately turned into a question (e.g. "Metal Gear?", "The Patriots?", "Nerd?").
*Down 2 shots every time Metal Gear is mentioned.
*Down a shot every time "la-li-lu-le-lo" is mentioned.
*Take a shot for every bowel movement seen/heard/made.
*Down a shot every time a character previously killed off is brought back to life.
METAL GEAR SOLID
*Down 2 shots if player gives in to torture.
*Down a shot for every scene with home-erotic undertones (e.g. "Do you think love blooms on the battlefield?").
*Down a shot every time a character is pretending to be someone else.
METAL GEAR SOLID 2
*Everyone but the player downs 3 shots if he manages to pause Naked Raiden mid-combo, showing off his stump.
*The player takes a shot every time he fails in this.
*The player takes a shot every time he thinks it's funny to use R1/R2 to give a positive/negative response in a codec conversation.
*Any other person who finds this funny also takes a shot.
METAL GEAR SOLID 3
*Take a shot every time someone mentions Judo.
*Down a shot every time a leech is removed.
*Down a shot every time Snake is poisoned.
METAL GEAR SOLID 4

*Down a shot if it is the Wednesday/Sunday sale in Drebin's shop.
*Take a shot everytime Naomi changes sides.
*Take a shot for every flashback witnessed.
METAL GEAR SOLID: Peace Walker
*Take a shot every time Paz mentions "Peace".
GAME CHANGERS (Any situation you may as well down 10 shots because you're either a genius or morally questionable, 10 shots applies to all of these)
*Big Boss ranking is obtained
*You get Snake in a box with Paz
*You get Snake in a box with Master Miller
*Otacon "makes a backup" of a scantily clad female.

Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
