**Some noticeable graphical issues are still here, but the game was initially unplayable. Locking it at 30FPS, putting Shader Quality on Low & turning on "Strict Rendering Mode" (with VSync enabled) fixed most issues for me.
Set in March 1975, a few months after the events of Peace Walker, players control returning protagonist Snake, also known as Big Boss, as he works with Militaires Sans Frontières (MSF) to infiltrate an American black site on Cuban soil called Camp Omega. Once a refugee camp for people fleeing Cuba and Haiti, Camp Omega is home to an old prison that is being used for extraordinary rendition, as it has no legal recognition under the United States Constitution.
Snake's main objectives are the extraction of Paz Ortega Andrade, who has information regarding the whereabouts of the person or persons known as Cipher; and Ricardo "Chico" Valenciano Libre, a Sandinista and former child soldier who was captured by Skull Face, the commander of paramilitary force XOF, who have assumed control of Camp Omega. Snake's mission is supported by Kazuhira "Kaz" Miller and Dr. "Huey" Emmerich from MSF's Mother Base.

This is the one game I always wanted to upload — Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. But somehow, I never got around to it… until now. And let me tell you — getting this playthrough up was a mission worthy of Snake himself.
Day 1:
I tried running MGS4 on the RPCS3 emulator. It worked… for about an hour. Then it froze harder than Old Snake’s joints in Shadow Moses. I spent the rest of the day searching for fixes, only to find out none of them worked.
Day 2:
RPCS3 still hated me, so I went full archaeologist mode, dug up my old PS3, blew off a decade of dust, and decided to record it old-school nostalgic 30fps @ 720p run on OBS. And despite my PS3 sounding like it was about to take off, I actually got the footage looking surprisingly clean. I spent the next two days recording a full Big Boss Hard run with 0 Continues as the objective.
Then came the tragedy: while editing all the files to one big video over on my VideoPad to fit the 12 hour limit, I discovered it didn’t add any sound from the original files. And guess who deleted all the original recording files? Yep — this genius.
Day 4:
Tried a bunch of recovery programs for those original files — no luck. Then, miracle of miracles, I found a fix for RPCS3 crashes! So I started fresh with a new goal of a non-lethal run on Naked Normal.
Day 5:
Made it to Act 4 of that run… and boom. Crashes again after the Crying Wolf Boss fight. Spent another whole night finding a fix for that. Finally got it stable — only to discover that now OBS had stopped recording audio during the entirety of Act 4. Discovering this while being in the middle of Act 5. And of course, I’d been saving over the same file slot like luck is on my side here. So Act 4? Completely Vacant of sound. Cant be replayed.
At this point, I’d seen enough cutscenes to memorize every line in the game, I’d watched Otacon cry over Naomi so many times I could hear him in my sleep. Characters I once had empathy for had been replaced with distain. AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD JUST LET THAT MAN HAVE A SMOKE... (Also who thought VAMP licking White Blood off of his two finger was scene that JUST HAD to be in this game?).... but I wasn’t giving up. So I started another run, Again. Oh, and just for clarification about my luck, my power went out during Act 5 during the final day of recording and now Im uploading this at 4 am instead of sleeping.
So yeah — here it is: my fourth attempt, my second actual completed playthrough, and the only one with working sound. Much like the game itself, this run was a beautiful mess of chaos and perseverance.
Enjoy, Metal Gear Solid 4: A Non-Lethal Run on RPCS3.
Also, there are some graphical hiccups I could never really fix. Mainly in the menus, codec calls, and mission briefings but youll see them throughout the gameplay randomly and its just visual issues. It still ran 4k at 60fps. I personally would take it over how my PS3 looks and performs any day. I do have the original 4k Recordings and plan to upload those one Act at a time at later dates. — I cut the briefings out of this video to keep it under YouTube’s 12-hour limit.
Its not like its a Boss Extreme run, but let’s face it… at this point, I deserve that Big Boss rank just for getting this uploaded.")

Revisiting the game that first dragged me headfirst into the world of hack-and-slash chaos.
Now, I’ll be honest — this was never my go-to genre. But something about WET’s Quentin-Tarantino-meets-grindhouse direction, over-the-top violence, and Rubi Malone’s full-on Kill Bill energy had me hooked the moment I found it sitting lonely in a GameStop bargain bin back in the early 2010s.
I must’ve dumped at least 60 hours into it on Xbox 360, mostly chasing achievements and pretending slow-mo gunfights made me cooler than I actually was. On this revisit, the only things I remembered were Rubi’s Boneyard and that wild mission where you’re free-falling through airplane debris like a stunt double with a death wish.
Maybe that means it wasn’t the most memorable game… or maybe my brain just permanently replaced those memories with Rock Band 3 solos and long nights on Medal of Honor (2010). Hard to say.
Anyway, since I didn’t see many full playthroughs of WET running on RPCS3, I decided to give it a shot. The emulator gave me more crashes than Rubi has one-liners, but hey — it runs from start to finish.
Im planning to dust off the PS3 soon and give it a proper second run if there is enough interest in this playthrough.

Recorded straight from and uploaded by my PS5. This is just a test run more than anything. Im interested in the quality of a video captured by the PS5. I sit pretty far from my TV so my aiming is more atrocious than usual. Thanks for checking out the Video!")

Glad to be back on Commentary and its probably the best game to return on. Mortal Kombat Deceptions Konquest Mode has always been one of my favorite highlights of the series and absolutely my favorite thing to come out of the 3D era. Take the Journey with me and see what I can remember after 3 years since doing my last run. My memory is short so that should make things interesting! Ill also be using my iPhone as the back up microphone as my professional microphone has no cord that works anyway, so Im stuck with the iPhone. So you get all the nice background noise and controller clicks of my early Mortal Kombat videos. Enjoy!")

Pulled out the old PS3 Slim and wiped the dust off—pretty sure a few sneaking spiders were trying to infiltrate it. This is a run of Metal Gear Solid 4 in all its glorious 720p / 30fps (captured in 4K) beauty! Nothing brings back the nostalgia like those classic PS3 vibes and frame drops that made every gunfight leave me a little nauseated. I’ll also be uploading a 4K / 60fps run through the RPCS3 emulator soon—but before that, I had to relive the authentic MGS4 experience: frame drops, install screens, and all.")
