Abnormal Mapping 48: Metal Gear Solid V

Just another day in a podcast without end…
ABNORMAL MAPPING


At last, the time has come. Just under a year ago, I started
playing the Metal Gear games, and now, 42 articles and 5 podcasts
later, the journey is complete. I hope you have enjoyed the ride,
and if you’re new, then feel free to come along on this quest
anytime. For this final episode, we’re discussing Metal Gear
Solid V: The Phantom Pain, the honest-swear-to-god-for-real final
game in the Metal Gear Solid Trilogy. Come on in for a chat on
trauma and colonialism, exploitation and capitalism, and most
importatly, The Life and Times of Punished “Venom” Snake.


I am joined in this final episode by @woundww, a friend and
writer for the Arcade Review – currently on Kickstarter! – many
thanks to them for smart insights throughout.


Fair Warning: There are a couple audio issues in the podcast!
Nothing too bad; a little echo, some birds in the background, but
I thought I’d give a heads up nonetheless! Enjoy!
