Just so you're sure, when Max writes "real in-game dialogue" on screen, he 100% means it, that is the actual dialogue that is spoken in those scenes.
No, Maxor's veersion is an exaggerated version.
@@maguyonseanlewis7696 no, that shit is completely in the the game when it is in the bottom of the screen. Literally zero exaggeration.

@@maguyonseanlewis7696 Anytime you see "Actual In-game dialogue" That means Max0r didn't write the thing coming out the people's mouth and is actually in the game.

38:05 Max0r doesn’t really explain this in his video, but in the game the kid in the sewers is escaping from a human trafficking facility. The robots were probably dispatched to retrieve him before Raider shows up.
This, and the fact that they're abandoning/scrubbing the facility. Less important to keep the place a secret if that place is no longer useful to you.
raider
Sundowner: “gotta love *HARVESTING CHILDRENS BRAINS”*
They're actually there to collect data to make VR training more realistic for them. It's mentioned in a phone call I think
And also Raiden does speak Spanish and George is Guyanese
Wrong definition of meme. Monsoon (at least, in the base game, not in Max0r's rewrite) is talking about the Richard Dawkins definition of meme, the idea that ideas, called memes, spread and compete for "survival" like genes do, seeking to "stay alive" as long as possible in the public conscience, the public culture.
Though it IS very funny when the red man says meme.
Internet memes and the original definition of meme is not different
@@Mondy667
By definition no, but certainly by understanding.
When people think ‘meme’ today, it means ‘that mildly funny picture on the internet’ or ‘that dumb vine that everyone keeps repeating.’
The word ‘meme’ is bastardised into being grossly misunderstood, especially its gravity in human psychology and social development.
@@rustkarl even the "modern internet interpretation" of memes isn't "mildly funny images" memes are still ideas spread by a culture, especially since most memes aren't funny on their own, their funny with years of cultural context. Like, for example, I can post
I Ii
II L
And there will be some people who understand and might chuckle.
@@nickelakon5369 I get where you're coming from.
But ask your nearest older republican relative what a meme is.
Or, hell, ask *anyone* who isn't regularly on the internet what a meme is, and more often than not your going to hear the answer "funny internet image/joke." While the amount of information that Paul was able to extrapolate from Monsoon's meme speech (or, rather, Max0r's version of it) was impressive, I felt the need to provide the additional context behind the definition of meme because I assume that Paul, like many normal people, would take the usage of the word "meme" at face value.
Monsoon is also parroting Liquid's rant about memes from MGS 1. The entire speech is a meme in of itself.
11:30 funny thing, the reasoning in game for why the swords can do this is because they are High Frequency blades, meaning they don't cut normally, they cut between atomic bonds, preventing the need to sharpen
Unfortunately this doesn't work without a lot of sci-fi mumbo-jumbo. IRL high frequency blades are still going to wear out the edge, as they're actually touching the material they cut, and the technology doesn't really translate to a bigger scale.
So they're technically fighting with vibrators?
@@yashjoseph3544 *E x a c t l y*
@@pirig-gal unless you find a way to repel atoms fromthe material youre using
Basically its a stick with vibrating end.
Oh yeah Paul, Bladewolfs whole deal is basically a super-sophisticated AI is on a leash by the big bad, and even a single misstep will cause him to be basically deleted.... Until the game happens.
oh yeah, and George, the kid in the sewers was actually speaking Guyanese Creole....
that explains the lack of language pack.
To be fair I don't think the intelligence gatherers could foresee the unironic use of the word: cowabunga
Damn, Guyanese Creole is mad easy to understand then
Losing an arm is called "family tradition" at least for Skywalker.
Skywalkers usually lose their sword arm.
I wonder, what would happen if Joseph Joestar (in tequila outfit) meets Kira Yoshikage?
‘Rite of passage.’
And maybe nero's
I loved that Raiden referenced the fact it’s a trend. When he got his arm cut off he just says “damn it, not again!”
In regards to the suggested prescribed ketamine, in the words of Max0r, "It's my mental illness and I get to decide the coping mechanism."
"It's not a drug problem, it's a drug solution"
"Yar har har and here we are. _We surrender, please don't fucking kill us."_
"You should've let me keep the anime, you fucking skunks!!!" -Sanest Captain Torres

Most memed AC7 Incorrect Summary lol
The 'almost complete cowboy attire' is really common for older adults. And from how you pronounce a couple of words, that's sounds like some good experience. As for Raiden's trip to Denver, he's deliberately marching into the Entire State Building to stop their child-brain trade.
Not necessarily, I see a lot of younger Latinos in my area wear that stuff. However it's mostly for special occasions really.
@@joecrazy9896 Shame. I'd take any excuse to wear a nice hat.
@@johnj.spurgin7037 I mean, it's normal enough that no one really cares.
@@joecrazy9896 soo true in rural areas.
I am the 666th like. Be more worried if that number actually meant anything instead of being a typo that got popular (616 is the real bad number, not that it means anything because the Revelation of John is an acid trip anyway)
Funnily enough, _revengeance_ is in fact an existing old English word, noted in dictionaries even back in 1913. It was, of course, redundant and so it fell out of use.
EDIT: What the hell, guys, where did all these likes come from? Thanks!
Like "warfighter", it sounds so redundant you immediately assume it's made up.
Ah, English, the language that takes lessons from warship design in redundancy.
Revengeance is also used in "Revengeance mode", a higher difficulty setting, for Calamity mod for Terraria. In this context, however, it makes no sense due to having nothing to deal with revenge or vengeance.
@@mastercrash0683
It does make sense when you consider that there are numerous other references to Metal Gear Rising in the Calamity mod. I can't recite them since I only know of it through a relevant video ("there will be bloodshed but terraria calamity" or somesuch name), but it would make sense for them to call the ultra hard difficulty "Revengeance".
@@garr_inc Murasama, Revengeance mode, Red Sun weapon, and some flavour text iirc. There's a bunch of MGR references. Also, at this point, whenever I see people referring to Revengeance as some some super ultra hard difficulty I just lol cause its grown to the point where its just expert mode to me
Oh wow… Revengance is actually right by the definition you give at the beginning.
So the cycle of violence, I’m pretty sure, is a big part of MGS V. People getting revenge and seeking to get revenge because of it.
So you noting that that’s essentially what Revengance means, people getting revenge on people getting revenge, is accurate…
AND VIOLENCE BREEDS VIOLENCE
BUT IN THE END IT HAS TO BE THIS WAYYYYY!
@@syrelian I carved my own path, you followed your wrath but maybe we’re both the same!
@@OrionDawn15 The world has turned, so many have burned, but nobody is to blame!
Ocelot, venom snake lose an arm. Miller loses an arm and a leg. Raiden loses both arms, one of them twice. I think the legal term for removing an arm outside of surgery is DiSaRMing
Raiden lost everything below his neck. Robo body all the way.
@ kingdomcome3914
not neck, *upper jaw*. He's basically Robo Cop with a sword.
also jetstream sam if you count the DLC for revengeance.
Sam loses his right arm in the dlc against senator armstrong, thats why the only cybernetic upgrade on sam was his right arm
Big Boss' body at the MGS4 epilogue is basically just odds and ends from all prior snakes except for Solid, grafted together, I suppose this might technically count.
Maxor is actually the reason it is the biggest meme of this year
Well, there's also how we're now being constantly and ever more pressingly reminded of what we've failed at, and what we must do;
That being, to fuck all these limp-dick lawyers and chickenshit bureaucrats.
Pretty much
Didn't Jimothy Ross make his video before Max0r though?
Nice Argument Senator, why don't you back it up with a source?
@@thededdranter3233 Yeah, but in partial collab with Max, who as you'll note if you go back does the voice of Monsoon in that version. It's more correct to say they kinda parallelled one another, and Max for his own reasons spent a bit longer on a two-parter and the editing.
"It's a little cringe but It's not wrong."
Congratulations, you just perfectly summed up Kojima.
What's the story behind your name?
@Gabe_Gaming Huh, never thought I'd get asked that. There actually is a story to this. Here we go:
Way back in the middle school, my younger brother introduced me to the then newish Runescape. Thank God I never got into it as he did and bounced, but I needed a username.
I loved the crap out of E-102 Gamma from Sonic (still do) but a Greek letter was obviously taken way before I came in.
Maxis sounded Greek/Latin enough for me to try Gamma Maxis.
Later after I left Runescape and its interminable grind far behind me I decided Beta Maxis matched my first and last name's first initials.
So beta, as in not the alpha, or first for humility and beta as in trial/prototype to symbolize trying new things, and Maxis as in putting in a good/maximum effort.
I had no idea Maxis was also a company as I was never into the Sims. By the time I found that out EA ruined that franchise like Abrams and Rian Johnson ruined the new Star Wars.
@@BetaJackMaxis 👏👏👏 Love the backstory for your name mate.
I think you were right the first time.
Dismemberment: the action of cutting of a person or animal's limbs.
Pretty sure the correct word is disarm.
@@65firered Technically you're both right, dismember can refer to any body part cut off, disarm can refer to cutting one's arm off (usually it's referring to dropping, or surrendering, whatever weapon, or "arm", is in the hands of the person).
@@65firered Ya beat me to it lmao
Reminds me of Death Stranding perdicting the cultural shift of people no longer being with eachother and relying on delivery services to communicate with people.
Kojima the prophet
Kojima keeps removing hands/arms from characters because it's a fantastic dramatic injury that doesn't immediately take the character out of action.
Eyes are also favorites, but usually less serious.
Legs are less good, because that usually takes the character out of the fight immediately.
Also, because it's a Star Wars reference. Someone looses a hand in every (mainline) Star Wars movie. That's it, that's the main reason why it happens in every MGS game.
@@shadow98004 loses, not looses(though I suppose by definition, losing a limb is also loosing it from the flesh)
I'm pretty sure having their arm chopped off would ABSOLUTELY take someone out of action immediately. Yeah so uh, videogames and often movies don't really do the whole "blood loss" thing seriously, having your arm chopped off would have you dead in, well anywhere from 4-10 minutes depending on factors. But you'd go into shock in seconds and be unable to help yourself. So more or less, if you don't get immediate medical attention like, within a minute or two, you're pretty much dead already.
@@shadow98004 what about phantom menace and new hope
I may just be stupid but I don’t recall the losing of a hand in those movies
@@shadow98004 The Disney trilogy didn't have anyone lose their hands. Clearly, not real Star Wars films
38:06 - So, Max0r didn't explain anything about it, but the bad guys were pretty much kidnapping homeless kids and extracting their organs, keeping the brains to subject them to military training, and then put the brains in new cyborg bodies. George, the boy who Raiden meets, was one of the kids, who managed to escape, and because he's from Guyana, he tried to warn the other kids, but they couldn't understand him, since they didn't speak English. So those robots were sent after the boy to get him back
_Yes_ you should play Metal Gear: Revengeance. And yes, your analysis of Kojima was spot on.
It's a masterpiece. I'm one of those idiots who's cleared every damn DMC game on the hardest difficulties and doing No Damage Runs and combo vid shit, and when you get up to the harder difficulty levels, I'd say the combat in MG:R is even more satisfying than _that._ It's sparser, but even more dynamic somehow. Also, the music is completely bonkers. And Armstrong is one of the best damn villains ever. Even if he doesn't write his own speeches.
He's also a wizard when it comes to making omelettes.
Yeah, dont fuck with that senator
From what I heard it's not mainly Kojima who wrote the story for MGR.
Memes in the way Monsoon actually referred to them is a psycho-social construct of inherited ideas and concepts put forward by Dawkins.
A set of ideals and structures that makes up society.
Most common comparison is to biological genetics in how they are copied, translated, replicated, mutated and changed across those that carry them.
It’s essentially the ideas and ideals that make up the cultural fabric of society, so Monsoon’s nihilistic tirade about religion as a joke and free will a myth is a camped out strawman-nihilistic take on memetic influence in a deterministic conclusion.
Did we truly make decisions or our own values or were they imprinted on us since the moment we are born? and therefore become who we are through social and cultural indoctrination our whole lives because we’re subjected to the memes of society constantly.
Things like law, religion, social norms, behaviour, fashion, opinion and more. All we are, a byproduct of what ideas survive in our society.
I personally dislike reaction channels for not adding anything to the video besides a man laughing, but you sir, you add such a depth to these videos not only with your stories of your deployment, but also realpolitik, philosophy and seemingly endless amount of knowledge on other topics.
Please continue making these videos! They are a treat to watch
38:50 You don't understand. It isn't the language that's the problem, it's the kid's ACCENT. His choice of words and the way he says things is so comedically atrocious, the game's subtitles use more comprehensible words despite the kid speaking english.
yep! And Raiden does speak multiple languages but the kid's dialect is just fuckin' weird
All I can say about Kojima's pacing is that there's a reason the meme is Snake repeating the key points back at people talking to him.
the key points ?
@@harvey9588 Him repeating key words, it's not that hard to find an example in the series (though all the protagonists do it, not just Snake).
@@thenecromorpher i know, i was making the joke, but thank you
@@harvey9588 I can see the joke now that you say it exists, text isn't that great of a medium for that kind of joke; at least imho.

Yes the "Mariachi" uniform is purchasable after completing the mission.
The two Mexicans that see Raiden were so confused by a cyborg in a mariachi uniform, a self-driving car, and a robot dog entering a sewer that they decided to just forget what they saw. If your disguise doesn't hide what you are, it should confuse others into secrecy
@@thediam0nddrag0n78 or melt their minds enough they can't decide what's 3ven real. Bottom line this was as real to Metal Gear as Big Boss trying to ask Sigant to experience the glory of the box with him.
I just love that Kira's theme plays when Raiden loses his hand.
I wonder, what would happen if Joseph Joestar (in tequila outfit) meets Kira Yoshikage?

An explanation was provided for the sewer robots: UG(Unmanned Gear) AI is a neural network, not a Von Neumann computer. As such it cannot copy and download data, it must learn for itself. The UGs patrolling may have been gathering data to improve VR training.
degloving: skin off arm
amputation: clean removal of body part
avulsion: deep wounds
dismemberment: unclean removal of body part.
Actually, the swords in metal gear rising are more like chainsaws. They are called high frequency blades because the blades on the edge are so tiny and move so fast they can cut through basically anything.
39:00 That would be a lot harder than you think, the translator would still need to account for stuff like slang and accents. Especially in Mexico, dialect varies from area to area and can get very confusing.
The kid's also not speaking Spanish. He was kidnapped from a completely different part of the world and brought to Mexico City in secret.
@@screamingcactus1753 He's from Guyana.
I actually did an essay on the failed Afghan campaign. The lack of use for anything but strongarming the country felt like what caused the failure. such as using predominantly drones in areas like Pakistan.
Kojima's an ominously self-aware man.
39:43 Oddly enough, here in Santiago de Chile there is a McDonald's with our equivalent of police vehicles stationed outside. There is no nearby police station and those vehicles are the antiriot kind.
Some could say that they are stationed there because it's nearby 2 main avenues and it's 2 blocks away from an University with a history of protests. I got caught up in middle of the beginning of a protest in there once. I counted 40 seconds between the first molotov being thrown and a patrol arriving.
People say that's why there's always a couple of police buses and a water-cannon truck. But I've always had bad vibes coming from that McDonald's, either with police or not.
“If you have six of the right people and the right technology, that’s all you need”
That’s exactly what happened in a manga called Ajin if I recall correctly, where they had a special black ops force of just five people that are essentially bred and bled for the sole purpose of fighting and subduing the key enemy of the story
Having read Ajin, those six were fucking terrifying to see moving around the base and fighting - especially considering the abilities the main enemies had.
You can use “dismemberment”, but I think being “disarmed” is a better alternative.
Disarming/Disarmed simply means _making one/being unarmed,_ however, not _cutting one's limbs._ So dismemberment is the only correct one here.
@@ultimaxkom8728 the joke .jpeg
@@rya1701 Was it a joke? Hmm, perhaps it was... Whoops.
Went looking in the comments for this. Was not dissapointed.
35:15 that's because if they tried it wouldn't pay out for the franchises, street food would drive them out of business, that's why Taco Bell doesn't exist in Mexico, for these franchises to work they need to play into the fact they're foreign and sell themselves as mid-tier luxuries... which they do.
37:00 Pretty much, in northern and rural areas the "cowboy" look is normal, but to be fair is not like the "cowboy" look is rare in the cities.
I applaud your commitment to explain every single bit of bullshit the video throws at you.
You really gotta play revengeance, Max0r's version of the events are surprisingly toned down compared to the absolute madness.
one of my favourite things in this game is when Raiden gets his hand cut off his response is "shit not again"
I'd liked to know what he thinks about the fallout lore concerning the U.S. Army's large replacement of vehicle assets to Power Armor.
Things like doctrine, the training of soldiers, and/or usage.
The thing with this game is, Kojima had very little actual influence in it's making. The game doesn't take itself very seriously most of the time and is basically a spin off of the MG series but still tells a real good story (imho in a much better and far less pretentious way than Kojima's other works). It's absolute balls to the wall edginess and crazy boss fights with an actual masterpiece of a soundtrack and it is not afraid to flaunt it.
Thank god they got Platinum Games to do this
@Space Vatnik bruh what? i've never been to reddit in my life
the game is edgy as all fuck and it's a good thing, untwist those panties
Kojima and his crew did the story and script, platinum did the gameplay that's pretty much what I know
@Space Vatnik "this one just called me a redditor"
The final boss who wants to become president also belts out a Make America Great Again too so it's still prophetic
As someone who watched Bakugan as a kid? That Jihadist Bakugan joke nearly made me die of laughter, while also resulting a couple looks from my coworkers.
I didn't even understand the joke and found it hilarious. It's a funny sentence in general.
I used to play with bakugans as a kid
Great video. I wanted to add some context for some of the points about the original game that you sort of noticed but which are hard to pick up through Maxor's treatment in the video.
Firstly, and again I know you picked up on this, the entire joke about Raiden wearing a sombrero was that Raiden is being stupid, and it's a terrible disguise. Maxor's video cuts dialogue from the game in which the passing civilians converse with each other (in Spanish, though I don't speak the language and can't attest to its quality... in fact, for all I know, it was Portuguese) about how Raiden looks like a freak, before concluding that they better leave because they want no part of whatever the hell this is. Some people see this outfit and accuse the game of being racist for including it, but it really, really isn't (arguably the character, Raiden, _is_ being a bit racist though).
Secondly, I can't tell if you made this connection or not, but the robots in the sewer are not attacking civilians at random (as far as I remember). The kid they're attacking is one of the test subjects who had escaped from the base, and they're attempting to retrieve him before he escapes and exposes them. I can't remember, but it might also be the case that the robots you fight on the way to the base are part of a search party rather than a guard patrol. I might be making that up, though. Also, in the original game, the child doesn't speak to Raiden in Spanish but in heavily accented and grammatically poor pidgin English. The game provides subtitles because it is hard enough to understand that it justifies them, but he is technically speaking something comparable to English if you listen. This might make it difficult for automatic translation software to provide Raiden a translation. Or it might not, I don't know (also, in the game, Raiden does understand the kid... mostly).
Finally, while I don't mean to invalidate anything you said in response because the concerns you brought up are genuine and pretty insightful, Monsoon was not talking about internet memes in the game. He was talking about memes in the original sense that Richard Dawkins used them. A meme, in this sense, is a way of understanding how ideas and cultural beliefs spread or die off. A meme is an idea that occupies space in the human mind and can be communicated to other humans. There's only so much space in the brain, so thoughts and cultural beliefs are, in a sense, in direct competition with each other. Thus, in a model comparable to how genes are spread, the concept continues to proliferate in the population if it remains useful and dies off if it isn't. Monsoon's monologue is essentially a pseudo-philosophical take questioning free will in a species whose core values are shaped by history in ways they don't even understand and could theoretically be manipulated by outside factors. Considering his spiel is pretty much directly plagiarised from Metal Gear Solid 2, a game whose message you shout out early into the video here, I didn't expect you to completely let the opportunity to bring the subject up pass by.
Again, great video. Looking forward to part 2.
I don't think Raiden is racist just an idiot.
Memes are the genes of memories
in the selection screen where you can equip the outfit its actually said that raiden was a dumbass and got scammed because he asked for "local mexican clothing" by a shopkeeper
Tbf Meme in the internet sense does technically still fit the original definition of the meme.
As a Mexican, I literally do not give a fuck if you or anyone wears anything stereotypical about Mexico, I'm just glad you noticed her (also it's funny)
Swords in MGR have the advantage of having advanced vibration tech, basically blades do not really cut as much as they sever through molecular bonds, the only stuff capable of kind of withstanding it are nanomachine-infused materials since they are sbnormally dense for their size and weight
the blade raiden uses is modified to be high frequency, so the blade getting dull didnt really matter
The story behind the robots in the sewers is that the random kid is pretty much an escaped test experiment from a secret lab hidden in those sewers and those robots were pursuing him. (I think this is how the story goes I cant really remember much)
all that talk of last wishes and all....a part of me is glad my grandmother was still of sound mind at that point. Her health deteriorated. Lung cancer from smoking a large chunk of her life. But she was a tough old bird, and funny enough managed to quit it before passing.
She asked to stop trying and just wanted grandpa there at the end. and it came with them holding hands and saying goodbye.
Side thing, memes in the game itself was a case of based on the definition as found in the book The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins. It's a transfer of culture through imitation. Meme originates from the greek word mimema, which is translated directly to 'imitate.'
You were right about dismemberment. Amputation is basically just the same but with "intent to heal or help the body".
I think the biggest issue with healthcare in the US isn't that the last period of someone's life is what costs the most. It's that people have to choose between dying or living. Medical debt is the single biggest cause of bankruptcy in the US. People have to choose whether their kids are going to be orphans, or poor. And from a European mindset, that is just unacceptable. There should be a system to catch these people from falling into bankruptcy.
I don’t normally replay story driven games but I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed experiencing the meme machine that is metal gear rising again
Metal Gear Rising Revengeance
Come for the combat, stay for the memes.
Simply put, U.S. healthcare is better to simply pray you don't get sick.
@Space Vatnik I will admit I did not know that, but that is an excellent point.
11:50 you could (with the Metal Gear Solid level of technology) have a field or swarm of nanomachines that constantly add new material to the blade keeping it always sharp
A high-frequency blade that has nanomachines? That's some extreme shit
51:40 Thumbs up for mentioning the ethnic cleaning in Bosnia, some of my Bosnian family members were there during the conflict and lost many friends and relatives.
Also obviously… Great reaction!
When you play the actual game, in the scene were Sundowner decapitates that one bodyguard, you can read "Protection Program Execution".
Because as a cyborg in MGR, as long as your brain doesn't get damaged, you can just get a replacement for your body.
Yeah it needs to be pointed out more because it doesn't seem to be getting brought to his attention, Paul you've got some issues with your mic or audio, its very poppy in places, should probably check that
Something I like about Maxor vidoes is the music he puts in them, you can kinda tell what games he has an interest in just by the music he puts. In the dmc5 incorrect summary he used some revengence tracks and here were are with a MGR video.
Actually, Hideo Kojima and Konami weren't very involved in the production of this game; it was actually developed by Platinum games, a company with experience making over-the-top action games like Bayonetta
By what I understand, Kojima and crew wrote the script, while Platinum handled all the programming and game design. The problem was that Kojima's team just didn't have any experience making the kind of game they wanted this to be, so they handed off all of their notes to Platinum who put it all together into a game.
I suppose it's worth mentioning that when the game talks about memes it's going by the Richard Dawkins(?) definition (a meme being ideas that get carried on through culture rather than genetics)
I played it when I was 13 a year after it came out, and to see it become so popular now especially in meme format is a dream come true.
Fun fact: "meme" come from "memetic", a scientific specialty that focus on ideas and how they spread and changes when passed from people to people
39:07 The spanish was a joke that Max0r edited in.
In fact, in-game Raiden tries to talk to the kid in spanish only to find out that he's from Guyana and speaks a somewhat tricky local english dialect.
Which is pretty funny because
1: They had a horrible voice actor for that boi and
2: They put in double subtitles. One set of subtitles for what the kid is saying and the other set also for what the kid is saying, but this time in intelligible english
You're on my top 10 of favorite UA-camrs list. Sir
Maxor is the type of friend who would make a great exercise partner. A very intense one
For how over the top wacky this game is the story is actually REALLY good and is still relevant to this day
Here’s actually something interesting. In MGR:R, the kids who are piloting the robots are being put through multiple VR missions that are like real life, so they have a lot of experience because of that
Revengeance is an excellent game that knows itself. I love watching people’s reactions to the final boss I have taken it upon myself to show people who are unfamiliar with it whenever I can (within reason). If you play it please record your gameplay, love your vids.
26:50 If we extrapolate further, in the year 3000 all wars will be fought by one man with a suit of armor the size of a city block and an iq of 180.

Ok is it me or does Paul have some constant popping in the audio when he talks?..I thought my speakers were busted but i notice it only in his videos.
I've noticed his mic sounds somewhat warped in places for several videos now.
metal gear rising is one of the best games I've ever played
Now, I feel like pointless and barely life-prolonging procedures aren't the main issue of the american health system, considering that a lot of countries get better results for a lower cost.
I'd say there's a few main factors:
1: Overprivatization. Conservatives seem to think that privatizing public services is going to make them more efficient somehow, but that's just not supported by the data or past experiences. Fact of the matter is, the goal of any business is to achieve maximum profit at minimum effort, meaning a private health provider will aim to charge as much money as possible for doing as little for you as possible. The overarching theory of neoliberals seems to be that in order to remain competitive on the market, a company will have to provide some minimum standard of service, however the issue is that each company competes with other companies that also seek to make as much profit with as little effort as possible, meaning that the end consumer only gets to pick between expensive services that offer bad service.
The market works well for regulating products that people might want but don't technically need (because in that case, providers also need to make somewhat reasonable offers because otherwise noone is gonna buy it), but fails miserably for things with a guaranteed universal demand, such as water, energy and healthcare. People simply need those things, and if the only offers they can get are bad offers, then they will take those as well.
2: Underregulation. How much money can a pharmaceutical company charge for life-saving medication? How many nurses in relation to the amount of potential patients does a hospital need to employ? How much money should a hospital be allowed to charge for various things (such as food, lodging and care)? How much do the nurses need to be paid?
The issue is, that in a free market economy, all those things are decided by the CEOs and shareholders. And those will minimize any spendings and maximize their own baseline, to the detriment of patients and staff.
There is a reason why insulin in the US costs many times as much as in most other parts of the world, and that reason has nothing to do with how much is spent on producing the stuff. The reason is that US companies realized noone is stopping them from raising prices, and the diabetics themselves can't just not take it because they need it to survive, so now it's gotten six times as expensive as it used to be 20 years ago.
On the plus side, there's actually a bill in congress seeking to cap those prices all the way down and it's recently cleared the house, so with a bit of luck (that is to say, if Joe Manchin decides he doesn't want end up on the shitlist of every last diabetic in the country) it should also be able to get through the senate, which would mean the people who actually need it won't have to spend like half of their paycheck on meds every month whilst also somehow covering all of their other bills.
38:20 the are they’re at is right by the entrance to their secret lab, and that “random civilian” was an escapee from their lab
Metal Gear Rising Revengeance has always been a meme since it came out.
So Much. So Little Time.
Having worked in the medical field for several months. I concur and agree with your assessment. That instead of prolonging a patient's suffering. Instead resources should be allocated to make their end more dignified and comforting.
the cowboy look is pretty common in mexico, local farmers dress like that pretty much anywhere, and its a popular type of fashion, the "Norteño" culture comes from sonora, chihuaha, nuevo leon and tamaulipas, there is also a different type of cowboy types it the states in the middle and south west of mexico, more commonly associated with narco culture specially in sinaloa.
Concerning the conversation at around 46:12 the main reason police use m4's is that they are cheap due to the government selling off stock for cheap to police departments. To my knowledge most police use hollow point or jacketed hollow point to combat the issue you raised (overpenetration). If I were a cop and had a choice I would rather be using a P90 which keeps the armor penetration of 5.56 that is necessary to deal with dangerous suspects (like the North Hollywood Bank Robbery Shootout of 1997) and (mostly) prevent overpenetration with the 5.7 cartridge. To learn more about North Hollywood Bank Robbery Shootout of 1997 I would recommend this video: ua-cam.com/video/NsFg1833M88/v-deo.html
MGS2 was my first Metal Gear game. Love it forever. Best 8th birthday ever.
If you ever see a taco cart / stand that sells 5 tacos for 10 pesos (like 50 usd cents) stay away from them if you don't wish to suffer Moctezuma's curse
This video is brimming with insanely interesting insights. Thanks for doing this
fr
I just saw this vid today. I didn't even know this was uploaded. UA-cam wtf. Also part 2 please 🙏
The fact that Rimmy's only in the video for like 5 seconds is a crime tbh
the swords are High Frequency. They vibrate really fast and have electricity or something in them, so you can cut all this stuff and its sci fi.
And Monsoon really does go on a monolouge about memes. when it says real in game dialouge, he means it
Losing an arm is actually a symbolic thing. Cutting an arm off is the way of punishing thieves in some cultures (Actually, pretty much any culture had it at some point in development). Sometimes it's done to show deliverance of justice before adding personal grudge (Which is punished by death, offcourse), sometimes it's done as means of cutting someone's arrogance short (In a way, arrogance is thieving, attempts to reach for things you never meant to have).
The hands are also THE mean of action. To cut off one's arm is to symbolically halve his strength
37:15 Yeah, more like for northern states, as for Raiden's attire, that's part of the joke, I can tell you people here in Mexico like stereotypical representation in a lot of cases, when WB was trying to bury Speedy Gonzales there was uproar, same when Nintendo censored Mario Oddyssey's game cover where it originally had Mario with a sombrero in a tiny spot... also yes please! play and react to MGR, don't forget to dedicate a section to codec conversations because they will give you tons of material to make videos.
God I can't wait to hear your commentary on part 2
this is the only guy who can triple the length of a video
The word Meme as we actually use it is more of a nickname. The actual meaning of the word basically means ideals and philosophy that can be spread by simply having another person exposed to it, so basically it’s contagious ideas
and to this day. Yes it still mean that things. memes are just a type of information that spread really easily.
11:20 Raiden's Sword is a HF Nano Blade. HF is high frequency. Ergo its MAGIC....
I love your take on videos I have been watching you evolve from a normal person to an internet gamer who gets all the references.
In the game raiden actually goes to Guadalajara instead of Mexico city. They even give some trivia about the city through the comms.
32:00 so THATS how yoda got his hand on it
"Kojima is a master of pacing."
Ok now you have to watch Max0r's review of MGS 3 just so you can eat your own words.
Max0r: *makes healthcare joke*
the bald white guy: *explains the entire healthcare lore*
This game was truly ahead of its time.
They played us like a damn fiddle!
Oops sorry wrong game
Raiden rocking the Jaden Yuki haircut 5 years before Jaden did.
A little nitpick, but George ( the kid you talk about at 39:00 ) isn't speaking spanish, he's speaking some variation of Guyanese Creole which doesn't seem like it'd be the easiest thing to translate.
12:00 from what I recall the samurai mostly fought with spears and bows their katanas where used for senpuku and dueling and utterly last resort similar to how Europeans used bayonets, but mostly they where family swords and was passed down the family tree and some Japanese families still do it today. And as for army sizes they have always been in flux growing larger and larger then a few very large wars with masses and masses of poorly trained conscripts and then for a while after nations would depend on smaller army's but that where better trained, this was last seen in the 1900's where military's around the world grew larger and larger had 2 world wars and now are focused on small unit tactics instead of large army's
The car is still faster then raiden and saves him effort and energy
4:30 kojima did not write the story of
Mgr. The game been out for nearly nine years and people still think he made/wrote the game.
Fun Fact: Metal Gear Rising; Revengeance, the game with cyborg ninjas and nuke carrying supermechs, takes place in the year... 2018.
*LOCKHEED MARTIN, YOU'RE LATE!*
9:06 high level planing meeting with the family hahaha
