I think the real kicker is that Kojima was really at the top of his game when the first three came out and then it divulged into something of a story mess when 4 came out and the subsequent ones are just a messy story with a lot of tangled webs. If I had to tell someone to play them in an order of fun/good I'd go with the following order Metal Gear Solid Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake-Eater Metal Gear (Original) Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain

Don't tempt them.

Good games but as mentioned before Konami isn't ever really going to do anything in terms of upscaling with them. Still, fantastic series and I have played them all. If you like some sneaking and having a go at not using your lethal weapons at all these are the games for you. Snake Eater is still in my top 10 and for very good reason too, it really is that good.

If he wins this one I would like to request the admins to give him some special tag if its possible.

If you look hard enough anything is possible (pun intended)

This was something I did too and really enjoyed it.

Will he be crowned champion again? Or will the last round give us a new season winner. New questions come out tonight in the other thread.

These are really all very high scores for the round and we also cap this round with a perfect 10 for Question #1 and we nearly had two of them. Miscellaneous Notes I myself am not sure how many vertical poles there are on a rugby pitch but I am inclined to do with Deadlinesman's answer Choices from Jamaican Men's Athletics were quite varied considering they really have a big name on their side Technically almost all sports can be played in the summer but it wasn't a pure sheep round there Onto overall scores.

I think a remake is warranted only if the original had such poor tech or sales that the remake helps that (which is rarely ever the case). The other reason to do a remake is anniversaries for dev/publishers or the franchise has gone cold and is getting a new version so they do remakes. There are very few companies that do this right and Naughty Dog is not one of them. Why redo TLOU at all, it was a great game already and made them so much money and a tv show it makes no sense. With Capcom and RE I can see why. The originals were on really poor tech and they do remakes rather well because they totally change the way the game plays so you're not getting the same game/overall story. With RE4 I was so disappointed that they never went back and did the original demo they did at the Tokyo Game Show where Leon used a torch through the entire gameplay with a gun and if you lose the torch you were basically playing in the dark.

Off to do round scores and then overall scores and finally we get to the last round with what I hope are some easier questions than this round haha.

These final questions always bring with them an explanation and there were a few this time around. 10. If the sheep had to pick one of the CURRENT contestants to judge a pole-vaulting competition which one would they pick? Nudge - 4 Tommy (as she probably knows her ways around poles better than us.) Caac John Lucas Nudge (me, obviously) Tommy - 2 Dr. Gonzo Bluewolf Bluewolf - 2 Beelzebub (bcz he was the initial judge in the first Olympics way back in BC times) Spike (he saw the first, he will see the last) Deadlinesman - 1 Deadlinesman (Me because I have a massive pole) Spike - 1 Stan (Poles can have spikes, so Spike.)

Almost had two sheep rounds here. Almost ... 9. What is the length of an Olympic pool in meters - 25, 50, 100 50 - 9 Stan Tommy Caac John Deadlinesman Dr. Gonzo Lucas Spike Nudge Bluewolf 100 - 1 Beelzebub

8. Name a sport that can only be played in the winter Skiing - 5 Stan Dr. Gonzo Lucas Beelzebub Spike Ski Jumping - 2 Nudge Bluewolf Ice Hockey - 1 Tommy Football - 1 Caac John Bobsled - 1 Deadlinesman

7. Name a sport that can only be played in the summer Cricket - 6 Stan Caac John Deadlinesman Dr. Gonzo Nudge Bluewolf Beach Volleyball - 3 Tommy Lucas Beelzebub All Sports - 1 Spike (fuck that you can play all summer sports in winter, 100m freestyle? harden up and deal with the negative -10 waters of norway)

6. Name the country with the greatest number of medals in fencing. France - 5 Stan Tommy Caac John Lucas Nudge Italy - 2 Dr. Gonzo Beelzebub Switzerland - 1 Deadlinesman Georgia - 1 Spike China - 1 Bluewolf

5. Name a martial-art that is also an Olympic-recognized event? Judo - 7 Tommy Caac John Dr. Gonzo Lucas Beelzebub Nudge Bluewolf Taekwondo - 2 Stan Deadlinesman Boxing - 1 Spike

How hard can it be to count you ask? 4. How many vertical poles are there at a Rugby world cup match? 4 - 5 Dr. Gonzo Lucas (just wondering if this is a trick including the flags) Spike (unless you count those cushion pylons they have in the corners then it is 8 ) Nudge Bluewolf 2 - 3 Tommy Caac John Beelzebub 18 - 1 Deadlinesman [(4 posts, 14 flags) and I actually knew this! )] 8 - 1 Stan (including the flagpoles at the try-line)

3. Name a country with the most gold medals in floor gymnastics Russia - 5 Caac John Dr. Gonzo (What the fuck is floor gymnastics?) Lucas Nudge Bluewolf China - 3 Tommy Beelzebub Spike USA - 2 Stan Deadlinesman

2. Name someone from Jamaican men's athletics other than Usain Bolt who has won a gold medal in the 100x4 men's relay. Yohann Blake - 2 Stan Lucas Asafa Powell - 2 Tommy Deadlinesman Nesta Carter - 2 Caac John Bluewolf Kemar Bailey-Cole - 1 Dr. Gonzo Busain Uolt - 1 Beelzebub No Idea - 1 Spike Usain Bolt - 1 Nudge (fuck the rules)

Sheep - Season 11 - Sports - Round 4 - Randomness - Answers What a round that was. I will say this, there's clearly some angst amongst the sheep but the answers will tell you why. Also, I can't apologize enough about not getting this done sooner. @Stan @CaaC (John) @Dr. Gonzo @DeadLinesman @Spike @Pyfish @nudge @Beelzebub @Tommy @Lucas @Bluewolf 1. Name a country which has the most gold medals in Golf? USA - 10 Stan Tommy Caac John Deadlinesman Dr. Gonzo Lucas Beelzebub Spike Nudge Bluewolf

@Harry SMB: Wonder is a superb game. Spent a few hours on it during my layover at the airport on my way home and I like it a lot.

Not gonna lie I'd have loved if Capcom had spent some time doing an over-the-soulder RE1 Remake but in all honesty I wish they'd focus on the next big game in the series vs remakes at this point. This had potential to be one of the scarier ones too just because of the enemies involved.

Apologies but we're back for the round answers and questions for the final round this Friday. Had a family emergency and at home so haven't had access to a lot of things like my cloud backup for the scores.

The simplest thing is to transfer them to one-drive via the web (yes, they can still track you if it's a company issued laptop). If you want to go the completely off-beat route then do this, if they are small, email them to yourself on your work laptop and then if you have a web interface for emails just open that at home and download them, there's no tracking there and it's really very hard to do anything even if there was. One piece of caution is that if there's an InTune server sitting anywhere close to the work you're doing (company IP, confidential data, etc) I'd just avoid copying and get someone else to mail them to me haha. Those things are very granular about file access and usage. I can't believe I am saying all this when I used to work with SecOps but realistically if its nothing serious you can just take it with you unless the company has some vested interest in it from a financial or IP standpoint.
