"Real spies are nothing like James Bond. It's pure fantasy." Says the guy who runs around in a Russian jungle dressed in tuxedos, occasionally hides inside boxes, and fights soldiers with superhuman abilities and even a ghost at one time xD.
"when a normal woman sees a snake, she's supposed to scream or get sick or something like that" "and you think you're normal?" "what was that!?" "nothing" "ooh, it's all your fault!!"
+Max McDougall Yeah, that was fucked up, bringing a guy back who wanted to stay dead with his lover, forcing him to become a living weapon that is in constant pain.
Somebody in the comments mentioned something about putting in the times of the various Codec subjects.

13:47 "What good is a pen going to do me in the jungle? I'd look like a fool." *flashes back to GoldenEye, where Pierce Brosnan's Bond brought a pen grenade into the jungle and wasn't asked any questions about it*
Para-Medic: It's about a man who is a- Major Zero: Para-Medic, let's not get into that or this game will be rated M for Mature Snake: M for what? *T I M E P A R A D O X*
Yep she was right..The 50th anniversary of godzilla happened,In celebration of the 50 years of godzilla..They make a movie called Godzilla:Final Wars which features almost every godzilla fan's favorite kaiju..Then in 2014 Legendary got the rights from toho to do a godzilla movie..Then 2016 the iconic Shin Godzilla movie appears..Then toho wanted to expand godzilla into Anime..There is Godzilla Earth..The most tallest godzilla incarnation ever and then there's Singular Point Godzilla which is I guess heavily inspired from shin godzilla..If Para medic was still alive to this day..She would have totally love godzilla
Snake: well...can't say i like James Bond.. Major: What you don't like about James Bond the fantastic Gadgets, the cars, the guns, having a hot woman in the bed at night or drinking a vodka martini shaken not stirred, or change your codename as 00-Snake? :D Snake: Major!..-__-
The next console release for Konami should be a full, HD version of the secret dream game in MGS3 where Big Boss wakes up at the end and realizes the whole game took place during his 9 year coma.
just wanna point out how the "you think they're still going to be making godzilla movies then?" joke is still relevant 20 years after this game's release
As much as i loved these codec calls, it was sometimes frustrating when you had to save the game and leave, but she starts telling an interesting story that you know you won't hear again. So it was either quit or listen to the story with half effort because you're looking at the clock and counting minutes lol..
I always felt it was more to do with how much she'd been forced to endure because of who she is. How much she was used and exploited throughout her life. When she says "there is nothing left inside me now, nothing at all. No hatred not even regret" it hits hard. Because (much like Solid Snake) she was just a tool to exploit.
I agree but when it comes to MGS if you don't have a pliable imagination as to what is believable your gonna have a bad time. Compared to a lot of totally unrealistic and unexplained character traits and abilities in this game alone, the us government sending a reliable old war hero on a secret journey to space in a desperate attempt to beat the ruskies in the space race is actually quite grounded.
Just a reminder that Big Boss was very fond of Frank Jaeger/Grey Fox. He even made sure Frank's sister had a future in america. Meanwhile Para-medic helped clone Big Boss, and thus we got Liquid and Solid Snake. Snake went and mortally wounded both Frank and Big Boss in Zanzibarland. The Patriots took Big Boss away, and what's left of Grey Fox was given to Para-medic to torture and experiment on, until Naomi set Grey Fox loose and he killed Para-medic. Naomi meanwhile poisoned Snake with the Foxdie. Grey Fox then went on to cut off Ocelot's hand, save the world from Liquid, and inspired Snake to start Philantrophy. And Snake himself helped end the reign of the Patriots. It's crazy how super connected everything is in MGS. Characters play god with creating other characters, and their creations either destory eachother or save the world.
I think it would be cool if you put the time each different conversation begins, and maybe on each conversation start put: Godzilla, It Came from Outer Space, etc.
I believe she was misguided and forced to do something she liked like Sokolov. He wanted to do rockets and ended up making missiles. Maybe Para-Medic wanted to do something related to her movie fascination and ended up doing clones, cyber ninjas and gen modifications.
I'm so conflicted about Para-Medic. In MGS3 she's a nerdy waifu who is fan of sci-fi movies, but then we discover she worked on cloning Big Boss and turning Gray Fox into a cyber ninja. She became what she was a fan of: a mad scientist.
Emigdiosback Para-Medic lived til 2003, my dude. Despite what year the game takes place, a movie buff like her probably would have watched it eventually.
jcage #awsomness Which 1982 film? Are you talking about The Thing? Because The Thing in 1982 was a actually a remake, she was referring to The Thing From Another World which came out in 1951.
