Episodes
Join us this week as we finish Ghost Babel and uncover some deep dark secrets.
Metal Gear Mondays is going handheld.
We're revisiting our old Gameboy Color days and giving Ghost Babel (aka Metal Gear Solid in the US) the attention it deserves.
Let's do this thing!
This week (later than intended) we're concluding our coverage of Policenauts for the PlayStation and Sega Saturn.
We'd love to hear your thoughts on the game, whether you played along with us or not. If you want your messages read on the show, please reach out to us at contact@metalgearmondays.com
Jonathan is out. Ed is out. Alessio is out. Salvatore is out of his goddamn mind. It's a whole thing.
Acts 3, 4, and 5 are blasting into your ear drums starting NOW!
Our journey with the titular Policenauts continues.
This act has it all. Car chases, bomb diffusing, secret informers... uh... our partner's underage daughter? Oh, man... uh, shooting guns at a massquito swarm (not a typo)? Fondling-- no, no, I'm going to stop there.
POLICENAUTS!! YAY!
Hi, guys!
So, for whatever reason, Riverside (our new distribution and recording platform) decided that episodes can no longer be over three hours long. We're working with their support to see what can be done, but for the time being we're releasing the uncut versions of episodes over on the Patreon for $1+ supporters.
We'll keep everyone informed as to if this will be a permanent change or something temporary. Apologies ...
Unfortunately, we have to reschedule #253: Policenauts (1996) - Part 2 - Act 1 for next week. In lieu of this, enjoy a free episode from our Patreon-exclusive podcast "The Patriot Club".
We shall return with more Policenauts next week.
Big ups to 8BitUzz for the killer Instant Crush cover.
Continuing MGM's tour of everything we wish we would've covered years ago, we're settling our crosshairs on Policenauts. Specifically, we'll be talking about the PlayStation and Sega Saturn fan translations.
Gather some police friends, suit up in your retro future moon boots, get untethered, and prepare to go into cryo-sleep for 25 years, only for everyone you love to wither away in your absence. We're doin' th...
To top off our coverage of the 1994 Sega CD cult classic, Snatcher, we're sitting down with Jeremy Blaustein, the Supervisor on the project. Jeremy was responsible for overseeing localization efforts, directing the English voice actors, and more.
Thanks to Jeremy for taking time from his continued localization work at Dragonbaby, Inc. to speak with us.
Please consider leaving our show a review. T...
Our coverage of the main body of Snatcher is coming to a close, but our coverage will continue next episode, when we sit down and talk to Jeremy Blaustein, Supervisor on the Sega CD U.S. release of the game.
Enjoy the episode!

We're so excited to bring this week's episode to you all.

Last, but not least, we're covering all of the extras and goodies in MGS2. As stated at the top of our revisit we did... oh, God... not? cover the "Document of Metal Gear Solid 2". It completely slipped our minds until this actual recording was happening.
We'll... uh... get to it sometime soon, promise!

Due to a scheduling snafu, this week we are joined by the lovely folks from Gaming Theater Podcast for a very special episode. We thought it would be fun to tackle fanfiction, given the circumstances in which we met the GTP hosts. Hopefully, you're along for the ride.

As an aside, Alessio and James were recording in the same room this week, away from Alessio's home while traveling. So, if you hear a difference in sound, it'll just be for this week. Enjoy!

On this episode, we start our second tour of duty on the Big Shell.
Will we develop whole new bits around MGS2? Will we uncover new secrets and development details? Or, will it be "a dud"? You decide.

We have to go back!
We're finally tackling a pet project we've had on our minds for years, we're remastering our coverage of Metal Gear Solid 2. The first timers joining us for this foray into the past are James Reichmuth and Chad Betteridge.
We're incredibly excited to talk all things MGS2, so we kick off the episode with a ton of development history before diving into the generalities of the game, and co...
