This is especially true if you have played the first three games, where not only do you see a character's personality shine, but you also get to experience the learning process the the characters go through from games 1 - 3.

Definitely and seeing the change that Raiden went through. When he first popped on the codec I was like dude! Then as the game progressed you see how he changed from being relatively happy to just... well, you see how he is.

I really hope the devote a game to him. I really wasn't too fond of him in Sons of Liberty, but seeing his change, I wanna know what happened to him.

Yeah, I think he went from being one of the most hated characters in the second game, to the topic of most of the jokes regarding Major Raikov in the third game. To one of the coolest "OMG I have to play as him in that form" in the fourth game.

I have a question about Act 3.

I am trying to find a resistance member to follow him but when the interceptor tells me I found one and Otacon tells me to look at my map, I see a big orange box but it does not tell me where the resistance member is. How do I find him? I have been walking around for 20 minutes trying to find someone

That's a pretty tricky part of the game, when you follow the resistance member around and you encounter PMC troops, don't tranquilize them or whatever. Just make sure you stay out of sight from everyone, the resistance member AND the PMC troops. The resistance member SHOULD find an alternate path if he encounters military.

I think after a while a new resistance member should come along for you to follow. You're supposed to get the Game Over screen when you run out of resistance members.

MGS4 was sad in the sense that at the end of the game, EVERYTHING just comes together.

Especially the scene where they walk into the GW AI room and Naomi's face appears on all the monitors after they've activated the virus. As well as the incredibly gut wrenching scene with Snake going through the microwave and Otacon telling him "just a little further".

L3thal - You can use the Solid Eye in normal mode and it will show the resistance member with a blue name ;)

You guys talking about the tracking scene, have you noticed this then ;) ....

If you have an eagle eye, and look behind you at certain times, the balls dressed up like inspector gadget actually TRAIL YOU in REALTIME!

How cool is that?! :p

@Audioboxer: I noticed a person as I used the IRNV mode often. Didn't clock that it was the Inspector Gadget Balls though!

LMFAO @ the pics.

Question to confirm something:

How did Zero get hold of the Philosophers' Legacy? Was it Ocelot's MGS3 triple-crossing? He was a patriot wasn't he?

Anyone know (and FTR I highly doubt it), but anyone know if MGO has Split Screen play?

I have to go my in laws today for dinner with the family, and my bro-in-law as MGS4, so I am just wondering if there is anything we can play Split Screen in regards to the game?

    • Secure Boot

      By cork1958 · Posted

      Simple answer is yes, you will still get the Windows updates and as long as browser is up to date, you will be good. Only thing secure boot does is protect you against boot level threats and make it harder to install other OS's. I've been looking into this pretty thoroughly lately myself as wifes computer has secure boot disabled plus my other, older computers that run Linux, don't have secure boot enabled. Have seen all kinds of questions about this on the Linux Mint and MX Linux forums. Just don't suddenly enable secure boot now.
    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      How many other companies will follow Ford's lead? Or, have they already gotten lazy and become enslaved to AI--and now can't figure out how to get out of that mess.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By TsarNikky · Posted

      Why would any self-respecting intelligent person follow any recommendation by Donald's GOP administration? With almost two years of fabrications, deceit, and blatantly illegal behavior, why believe them now? They had best be gone after the November 2026 election, so we'll wait and see.
    • AltSendme 0.4.1

      By Copernic · Posted

      AltSendme 0.4.1 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) Download: AltSendme 0.4.1 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By zikalify · Posted

      You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
