Unskippable: MGS4 (part 2)

Hiding Liquid in the deserts of the middle east. Those tricky bastards:

I always forget about unskippable until either late at night or when I see it on the forums...

How does Liquid sublimate?

Ice could sublimate, but Liquid would just turn to gas.

But at the time we make that joke, we've already said he's turned INTO a gas. In fact the line says "before he condenses or, god forbid, sublimates" and he woulnd't be able to condense if he weren't a gas already.

So, keep up, is what I'm saying.

Ah, but they said Liquid already evaporated into a gas. If he sublimates now, it'll be to a solid.

*returns to lurking*

...bah, beaten already.

If Liquid's running amuck in the Middle East, there's probably a lot of mud.

Yes, but gas cannot sublimate. Gas can directly become solid through deposition (or desublimation).

However, I'm pretty sure Solid Snake sublimated himself as he wandered away from the old folks home.


Boosh!, Science correction and a poop joke in one post! Now I just need to involve testicular damage to go for the LRR hat trick.

Maybe Liquid will sublet instead?

Think of the terror that could be wrought upon the world by Liquid Snake's roommate!

The flowers waving goodbye made me laugh. Graham's squeaky "don't crush us next time" was very funny.

Having only finished MGS2 and going "what the fuck" at the entire series since then, I'm imagining that this Liquid they're looking for is a really fucking great pitcher of Kool-Aid.

I'm sure they're looking for some kind of badass, but whole wars and unmanned hooting war chickens fighting over the best Kool-Aid in the Middle East amuses me way more.

So true. I always find when playing MGS games that I'm thinking, "Don't you dare ask. I (can guess/don't care/already know*) what he means. Damn it Snake! You asked!"

* delete as appropriate - normally "don't care".

Paul wrote:How did I get video over my ear?


Well, given that previously in the series it's been said that the codec directly stimulates the bones in the inner ear, why can't there be a part that directly stimulates the optic nerve? Hmm, I wonder what else it could stimulate.... No! Bad thoughts! Down!

Then I had been taught the wrong term. I'd learned that it's sublimation either way between gas and/or solid.

I do enjoy that every thread on the LRRums (no?) ends up in a technical debate like this.

Haha! My science classes at a terrible, terrible school where I was beat and tortured for half a decade actually proved correct in one aspect! :D

Well, in this case its more of a semantical debate; which clearly isn't as fun as it sounds.

While sadly, Graham, you were taught incorrectly (gas to solid is deposition), its funnier and flows better with the sublimation line.

Rule of funny trumps semantics.

Honestly, I didn't find it as side splitting as the first one, but it was all worth it to hear Paul as the flowers, waving goodbye. "Don't crush us next time." XD

Honestly, I liked this one much more than the first MGS intro. There were quite a few lines that had me laughing quite loudly, I felt you guys were more 'on' in this one. Yay for MGS bagging!

I worry though you guys are gonna run out of video game cinematics at this rate....

Huh. I was also taught that desublimation was sometimes also referred to as sublimation or reverse sublimation. Bad chemistry teachers! I knew I was justified in ignoring them.

I remember drawing a cycle diagram that said one of teh processes was the same thing both ways... I think it was sublimation. I dunno, we spent most of our time in chemistry being creeped out by the greasy, handsy old woman who was teaching us.

I'm pretty sure the terminology regarding sublimation is one of those minor science terms that has changed since I was in high school, as I recall it being sublimation both ways. Such changes do occur, and more often than you might think.

Okay good, it's not just me.

Yeah, I had one of those diagrams as well, and it was clearly sublimation going both directions solid-gas and gas-solid.
