RIP PatmanQC. Tributes Pour In For Retro Gaming YouTuber Patrick "PatMan QC" Davies

Don't know if anyone else followed the iconic Youtuber mostly known for doing in depth documentary's on Retro videogames. I've been a fan of his for years and his mini documentaries on classic console and arcade games were frequently on rotation. One of the more wholesome youtubers of a guy who just really liked talking about classic video games.

The first Ghost of Yotei deep dive, looks like it improves on Tsushima in almost every way.

The idea of free form exploring her memories instead of forced cut scenes is surreal and seriously inviting

After finishing everything I wanted to do in Red Dead 2, I finally moved on. (Still have the trophy to get 70 gold metals, and survive like 18 bears attacks. Something for the future)
I also got a shelf from yard sell, to which I refinished it and put it up for my Metal Gear Solid display.
Had to make stands for the characters so they wouldn't fall over.
Sadly, can't find the Liquid Snake I had, and never had Sniper Wolf. Maybe someday I'll find them to buy.

And then a few days ago, decided to hook up the Sega Genesis and play Jungle Strike, since we had been talking about it recently.

Definitely not the easiest game, and the controller kept messing up, and trying to mess with the cord, the game froze a few times. At least it had a password feature.
Ended up beating it. Let the credits play out...love that it asked if you are still there.

The End....or is it?
Nope, as they made three more games.

Then wanted to play Urban Strike, to which I had the SNES version, which I remember ran really slow....
But going through my games....found I owned both versions. Wow....I absolutely DO NOT remember buying the Sega version. Playing that now. It runs much smoother.

I totally forgot about the NYC level, in which a terrorist uses a laser to blow a hole into the side of the World Trade building.
Also, the game came out in 1994, but it takes place in 2001. Very weird indeed.
I can only imagine what the game creators thought on 9-11.

Seeing those Metal Gear figures reminds me of how disappointed I still am that Kotobukiya never made a good line of figures from the game. I didn't like their Sniper Wolf figure and I think I passed on the original action figure as well. I know I have the Snake and Meryl action figures somewhere packed away. Possibly Fortune as well from the equally disappointing Metal Gear Solid 2 (except for the opening). She had a really good character design but I remember was a bit of an in joke like the rest of the game.

I saw a few Metal Gear items recently. I know I saved them somewhere to check out. I'll see if I can find them.

In a MGS group on FB, you'd be surprised with how many LOVE the 2nd game the most.
