ahhah that's hella creepy. awesome. enigmatic cyborg dystopian mickey. pitch-white comic skin replaced by realistic sickly pale human skin. even his mouth supposedly have bright rubies/red led lights, you can see from his eyes that he knows that he is dead meat.
important moment in history of media that MUST be preserved for future generations: in MGS3 you at some point need to climb one helluva long ladder in a musty underground bunker complex. It's bit like a mark in the game where you pass unto next part of the game, a tonal shift.
well, it takes total grand of 3 or 4 minutes to climb it. You can only climb up, down, or drop from the ladder (nothing happens apart from normal death screen).
What happens is that some random black woman starts extremely belting out soul singing (the main theme) for the duration of those 3 or 4 minutes.
Kojima really had the Kojima i mean Konami Codes to arts!!!
I've been thinking about how great the ladder scene was off and on the past few years. Every once in a while I'll remember it and think about how great it was.
Unguided my man!!! coming in unguided to my aid.
It's really great, since the whole game is a dead-pan jungle bunker military simulation. you spend most of time eating dirt or grass or clay, ducking it out an' hiding from the world. you jump in swamp pools. your clothes are wet and smell full of swamp shit, and theres disgusting bugs in your mouth. cough out pleghma. eat frogs as meal. what an ideal life. is the victim the leisurous militant organization or actually the main protagonist living in extreme conditions as a bug-eating, survivalist guerilla? who can tell, it's a crazy old worl- SHRIEKKK!!! OF COURSE YOU CAN TELL!!
In case others are wondering wtf they are talking about, here is the scene. i can't tell if somebody is talking over the video, in that case find another video. there has to be just the in-game ambience etc noises, nothing extra.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgaYe4ZYYyY i've never seen david lynch movies but in my mind i imagine this would be an ideal lynch scene if done in real life, just imagine the panic and schizo-claustrophobia on the poor climber guy: he is doing this tasking tiresome climb, maybe a kilometer up in the air with no backup... when he starts hearing close to his ears loud soul-belting out of blue, but the in-control hard-ass militant guy can't figure out for the death of him where the sound is coming from! is he spotted? is this a trap? has he finally lost his mind to the endless guerilla mission and jungle life? is the enemies trying to destroy his psychology,
have they known all time along where he is? Is his life just a joke? Maybe spirits DO exist- but why do they choose that moment and to sing to him?? This and many more existential questions..."Can love bloom in a battlefield?" I sure fucking hope so, after all terrifying shit i've endured for this!!!!
