Ok guys I've never played a metal gear solid game before but msg5 game with the ps4 i just bought.
A) should I play it, and
B) if so, what should I know going into it?
Alright, there's a lot of shit that goes into MGS5. I'm still catching up myself but here's the lowdown:
Metal Gear 1 and 2 + MGS 1 and 4 are the story of Solid Snake, son of Big Boss. They're completely fucking epic and you should play them.
MGS 2 and MGR follow Raiden, who is swept up in the story of Solid Snake, but has his own thing going on.
MGS3, MGS Peace Walker, and MGS5 (both Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain) follow Big Boss, the legendary soldier.
Chronologically, it goes MGS3 - MGS: PW - MGS5: GZ - MGS5: PP - MG - MG2 - MGS - MGS2 - MGS4 - MGR
There was also this game Ac!d which I dunno but wasn't important to the story.
Basically what you need to know for 5 is this: (Spoilers for everything chronologically up to this point, don't read if you want to play the others and be surprised)
+ Show Spoiler +Naked Snake was an American operative during the Cold War, sent into Russia to investigate rumors of a Nuclear Bomb. There he found his old mentor, The Boss, who had defected to Russia and brought a Nuke with her. She promptly kicked Snake's ass and left him for dead. When he recovered, he returned to Russia to track her down and kill her. During that time, he found an experimental tank called the Shagohod, which was a precursor to the Metal Gear walkers used in the rest of the series.
He found out the the entire thing had been a scheme by The Boss to infiltrate the USSR and find something called The Philosopher's Legacy, which was so important that it was worth giving the enemy nuclear weaponry. She died at his hands to prove the US's innocence in arming the USSR, and Snake is given the title Big Boss.
Some stuff happens, he founds a specialist unit called FOX, which breaks from the CIA after getting fed up with the corruption, which is hunted down and destroyed.
In Peace Walkers, he has founded his own Mercenary army, the MSF, but is again pulled into the US vs USSR conflict when they are hired to intervene with a happening in Central America. There they find a quadrepedal tank that is carrying nukes that will be used to start a World War, which they destroy.
MGS5:GZ picks up shortly after, as the MSF is called in to rescue a hostage that they know. It was a trap, and all but Big Boss and his friend are killed.
That's the quick and dirty, I'd need a few hours to tell all the details. You really should at least play 3, Peace Walker, and Ground Zeros before Phantom Pain, imo.

Someone should streal the LL Bads games for hilarity
|
Once I'm back I'll stream them. Until then you'll have to beg Req.
I doubt anyone will play without me to guide them. Prove me wrong!

Most likely we'll play 3 games together and then never again.

Which is sad. Stuff like TL B was awesome, especially since it involved Soniv constantly getting in over his head.

Playing with TL B was how I improved enough to go from Gold to Diamond. I miss our mid-jungle coordination.

If nothing else I would like to play with a team just to lean things. I don't learn shit from solo queue except how to get yelled at.
|
Coordination was not always an appropriate word for our relationship.
I don't think I ever successfully coordinated with whatshisface who was our top lane for a while.
He played Vlad a lot, and would always be dead before I could do anything, and would go in before I could possibly be there to do anything useful.

Fuck today. I want to lie down and cry.
Send help.

If it makes you feel better, I think I won 10% of the games I played last night.
Trying to learn Hou Yi, but I'm so bad at adcs I'm not comfortable with. Can only with with Cupid T_T
also doesn't help that MMR is the same as when I left, so I'm just rusty and outmatched

My online payment portal that our customers use to make credit card payments is charging random customers 4-6 times the amount that they are supposed to pay. I have no idea why this is happening and there is nowhere in the code that would support this. I've had about 20 people, including my boss, come to me yesterday and today telling me about the issue and asking when it'll be fixed and I don't know what to tell them. Nothing I try seems to work and I seriously cannot even think of another thing to attempt.
I honestly just want to go home right now and drink myself into a stupor.

That sounds awful. Well I hope you don't get fired and die!

I should be around, if you see me online feel free to let me know.
Should we go over our champ pools and general play style and such, or just dive right in and force it?
