Introduction

Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops, the fourth game in the Solid series, the second chronologically, and the first fully canon game on the portable system, was released in December 2006 on the Playstation Portable. Unlike its portable predecessors, Portable Ops was a full on stealth-action title, complete with everything that made MGS into a household name, including the movable camera from the recently-released MGS3: Subsistence, as well as several new gameplay additions, not the least of which being the ability to recruit and use other soldiers in lieu of Naked Snake (a.k.a. Big Boss). MPO also features cutscenes hand-drawn by the same artist who penned the official MGS graphic novel, Ashley Wood. There's also damn good music, and I'll be linking as the tracks come up.

So what does this all mean? It means buckle up, kiddos, 'cause you're in for a wild ride. In case you haven't noticed yet, this is a Metal Gear Solid game, and that means that the plot is going places. While Kojima himself may not have had much of a hand in it, you can be sure that this game has his stamp of approval.

The LP will be hybrid. Screenshots for mission briefings/cutscenes, with commentated video on the side for everything. The game is split into separate missions, so depending on the length of the mission in question, there may be one or two (possibly even three!) per update. As for a schedule, once or twice a week is the target (Mondays and Fridays), and if I don't manage to make that, you can come and smack me upside the head personally.

Another note on the videos: they will all have dual-track audio, meaning if you download them, you can listen to us prattle on about inane topics while the game continues to talk!

Please be respectful and keep spoilers out of here, please. Have I said please enough?
