It can get shot at random then burn some until it explodes. Also they shoot it down it seems.

No, it's not a new Metal Gear game. But this is a pretty cool interview about the original English translation of Metal Gear Solid, and more generally Woolsey translations vs literal ones.

Too bad Kojima didn't ask him to explain what he did or if he did didn't listen.

I wouldn't call his work "woolsey". That's more or less the best practice... Especially in games where the game culture is the same as the target language or a made up culture. I.e. MGS is 100% America. World of Warcraft is made up with influences from all over the world. The only reason you would NOT localize like that is when you want to keep the source cultural flavour. And, even then, you should really rephrase anything that becomes awkwardly said on a straighjacketed translation.
He's 100% right in what he did, MGS1 is by far the best "written" of the series in English. He intuitively arrived at the same conclusion we work with today.
If you're good at translation in itself and you follow his ideas, you're already a top localization expert.

Finally got around to MGSV and I'm currently dicking around in Ground Zeroes. Is there a way to make your helicopter leave when you don't want it there? The game says to walk away from it and it will depart, but I can hoof my ass all the way to the other side of the f*cking map and it's still hanging out until eventually it gets shot down. Am I missing something or is this a bug?

I believe you cancel it the same way you call it. Go to your I-droid and see if you can give an order to it when it's on station.

I'll check it next time I play. It does expire eventually. Plus just by playing the game you'll get so much GMP you never really need to worry about depleting it unless you research everything at once.
Plus Morpho's voice never changes so hey! He's just really lucky! Or has a large family. All for revenge!+3

I am damn near to the end of MGSV. Good grief I've been playing this since July. There sure is a lot of game here for being unfinished.
Currently stuck on extreme cloaked in silence. Is there an intended way to knock out Quiet non-lethally? The ol supply drop trick doesn't seem to work here, apparently she learned to dodge it. I've tried sneaking about and popping her with tranq shots, but she ALWAYS gets me with the one hit kill. If that sniper icon is up for more than a second you are dead meat.
Also, hallelujah she's wearing clothes! Maybe my wife will stop giving me the side eye.

The supply drop trick still works, you just need to distract her by popping your head up when the box is about to bop her.
Of course, I just ignored the whole non-lethal thing for that mission and called in a tank instead.

I kept trying this but she would still dodge anyways. After like 5-6 attempts I gave up on it. I wonder if you could drop a tank on her...

For the box drop trick to work, you still need to draw her fire to keep her in place. Get behind cover, call the drop, and pop up and fire at her direction and let her SEE you enough to fire back. You'll know that's the case when the laser/ring icon is on you. You have about a second to fire and get back into cover, or use rolling or diving.
She also has a bolt action rifle, so she cant rapid fire it. The instant the bullet hits, you can pop back into her line of sight.

The easiest way to distract Quiet for the support box trick is to get her dancing in the rain. Call for a weather change to rain immediately after calling for the support box and she'll reliably take it to the dome.

Worth noting in this thread if anyone missed it, but Metal Gear (MSX), Metal Gear Solid, and MGS2 are all up on GOG for PC folks.
Do they... work?
I tried the original releases of MGS and 2, and neither of them wanted to work with my PC. Like, at all.Nobody remembers the singer. The song remains.

(I haven't picked them up myself. But this is kind of GOG's thing. Those old games that just will not work on a modern PC however hard you try... now they do.)

I'm playing MGSV again for some reason.
Though not really "again" since I didn't get very far in the first time.
Making the helicopter music Maneater really works well. On the one hand I am a lady who shows up at night and murders/kidnaps/robs a bunch of people then leaves before morning. On the other the song is about the unchecked greed of NYC in the 80s.
It's almost too on the nose.
Anyway I have a mod to give Quiet clothing and another mod to make her shut the f*ck up with the humming and it's basically a perfect game now.

That song has never made sense to me. Also I don't drink whiskey, so probably not for me on any level.

So I happened upon this while looking for a Quiet comic...
https://www.reddit.com/r/NeverBeGameOver/comments/fk4qbs/metal_gear_solid_5_the_silent_war_comic_fanfic/
(or https://tapas.io/series/Metal-Gear-Solid-5-The-Silent-War )It's pretty good! (lol)
It's basically the artist's attempt to tell the 'proper' story of V with all the omissions. It starts out great, and rapidly goes into some serious fanfic territory, but the art is very nice.
(Be warned, some chapters are NSFW, clearly marked.)+1

I too use Maneater for the chopper music but had it set to Gloria for a while for the absurdity factor. Imagining all these guys pissing their pants whenever Gloria comes on the radio.

I've had You Spin Me Round as my chopper theme for at least 100 hours because choppers spin their rotor blades around very rapidly. I like the idea of enemy soldiers cowering behind piled up boxes in the last moments before they get chaingunned down, thinking "They're not just playing that as a helicopter joke, are they? That's so du-GRK"

Having the chopper unload gunfire or missiles (can't recall exactly which) while it's screeching 'MORE MORE MORE' was one of my favorite gaming moments.
I really should replay that game.

For more sandbox fun, I can't recommend highly enough the Infinite Haven mod. You can essentially play custom settings forever. Enemy vehicles, patrols, Skulls and elites in open world. Custom base assaults. More player customization. It's an extremely minimal time investment which restores a ton of personality to the actual sandbox. You can even alter enemy and player health and vision values to be Rainbow Six style realism where one or two rifle shots can kill.

I put on one of Wham's iconic songs because not only is it roughly time period accurate, Morpho generally starts shooting the guns when the lyrics start goin' "boom boom" and "bang bang bang"
