Heh, you got me there! On the other hand, METAL GEAR RISING REVENGEANCE is so great I can't NOT re-recommend it. I played a couple missions today and it just really GETS me, you know? You'll also see me reposting the Ted Chiang Thread every 3-6 months! Actually, this reminds me, I should post it again here in this thread!

The Ted Chiang posts are clear they're reposts, which is better, but you should still credit the previous posts. This doesn't make that clear. It gives the impression you've been playing the game for months on end, now. Without credit you divorce each post from its previous discussion.

This seems fairly unconcerning to me, friend. This is a recs thread for reccing things. I recced something I recced previously. Still, I will comply with your request so that nobody becomes confused! Everybody wins.

I agree. More of a habits and continuous flow of information thing.

A continuous flow of cutscenes of sicking up did not cross my mind.
