The legend returns last time I remember you were not doing another call of duty because of veteran next platinum journey for me is miles morales on PS5
Oh I know, I have the platinum in all MGS games ( well almost all I haven't played Revengeance ) and I agree about MGS2 although getting the big boss emblem in MGS4 is more than just time consuming it requires key knowledge on enemy A.I, placement, boss weaknesses and of course great use of your non lethal arsenal(which means skill)
One thing that goes under appreciated in Adam’s videos is his ability for contextual storytelling. Even as somebody who has never played MGS4, I can immediately get a grasp on everything happening in each scene thanks to Adam’s ability to fill in the blanks with his script writing. Amazing work!
Thank you for noticing. I try to give enough context so someone like yourself who hasn't played the game knows what is going on, but don't want spend too much time just summarising the game either. Nice to hear that I've got the balance right in this one.
I can't wait to watch this later. It's actually insane how much time you've put into this episode. I remember when you announced it. You truly are a top tier content creator. Well done Adam.
This was a great watch Adam, the commentary, the editing and the way it all comes together is brilliant. You are criminally underwatched my man! Keep it up and good luck with the Witcher 👍🏻
I knew you can do it! You've completed Metal Gear Solid 2, which is impossible for me, also mgs4 is very hard but still possible for bare humans. The editing is Amazing!
One of my favorite things about the MGS series has always been the replay value of the games. I still have a memory card in the attic somewhere with all Sons of Liberty dog tags on each level of difficulty. MGS4 is easily my favorite game of the series. So many subtleties and attention to detail that has always left me disappointed when playing other games. Amazing work! New sub!
@@Hacimo1 the nanomachines is the most annoying thing in 4. The way they did snake is dumb. He literally just wanted to make him old and made the entire fucking game about how he's old but shouldn't be. Terrible story, terrible ending to the series. I can't stand that one
Outstanding video, you are a legend for getting this one done. Congrats and great job persevering through it. Can't wait to see more of your videos in the future.
Of all the trophy related content on RUclips yours is different and special. It's entertaining and emotional. You really show us the highs and lows. Well done, not only this very special platinum, but also this excellent format. I did this platinum a few years ago also and it required a lot of determination.
Kept us waiting, huh? Greatest episode so far, and that’s saying something given some of the episodes we’ve already had. I can’t wait to hear the commentary episode for this platinum.
I've watched this video over 10 times now 😂 I play it in the background as a podcast, quite relaxing actually. You do have a soothing voice. Anyway, after viewing this video, I saw others of yours and you just won yourself another subscriber. Even watched your 10, 20, and 30K Q&A. I'll add my own questions to the 40K Q&A. 😄
Wow. I genuinely felt the absolute deflation after the first playthrough, then the rise in energy with the relief of not having to sit through all the cutscenes; *chef's kiss* Then the way you convey the momentum building as you start really knocking out the emblems Watching you slowly get sick of the grind H O G. The absolute catharsis in closing Absolutely beautiful. 10/10. Glad I could experience this vicariously.
Congratulations again bud, I've already said this all before but I love watching all of these. Definitely my favorite guy to watch. The MGS series is one of if not my favorite games so it's brilliant that your doing them. I'm guessing you'll be doing "V" soon if you've already done this one. But anyways good luck with the next one, take care Adam 👍
You good sir, have earned a subscriber, this video seriously had it all! Action, drama, emotion, laughter, the complete package! I'm gonna have fun going through your channel!
48/50 recovery items was ABSOLUTELY gut wrenching to see...had my hands on my forehead for a solid 2 minutes =/// EDIT: seeing how your skills TRULY got better and better on each subsequent playthrough really demonstrates what the MGS saga is about, Bravo Sir you deserve all the respect =)
What a great video! This inspired me back in August of last year 2023 to go get a ps3 and platinum this game! I had only played this game once before back when I was 8 when it came out and never got past the first part lol. After playing it almost 2 decades later, MGS4 is definitely one of my favorite games, not as good as 2 or 3, but it’s definitely a great game, this game gets too much hate!
I’ve been a big fan and watched every one of your videos on release for the last few years - and I can really feel your pain with this one. But you were so committed and pulled through with amazing material and editing. You work so hard and deserve all of the credit and views, awesome job (sincerely a viewer who doesn’t comment)
I'm not sure if it was mentioned in the video but MGS4 was released prior to trophies / achievements being a thing on the PS3 and were added 4 years after MGS4 released. Could explain why the platinum requirements on this one is so high, given that the only people still playing it were the hardcore fans.
I didn't mention it. Thought folks knew about it getting trophy support after release. MGS2 trophy list is also tough. MGS3 is handy. Kind of all over the place.
Hey brother, great video. Seeing these videos motivated me to get the platinums for MGS2 and MGS4. Thanks for the entertainment and look forward to all other videos.
Another great Platinum Journey! Can't wait to watch it later. Congrats on finally pushing yourself to get the MGS4 plat! Also, when are you planning to do the RE3 episode? Resident Evil has been on my mind after the RE4 remake trailer released - what were your thoughts on that if you've seen it?
i always rewatch this video when i need motivation for these damn emblems, only missing a couple but i can only get 1 of them per playthrough Good job man
I've never seen your Metal Gear Solid Videos because I wanted to play them first. Now I finally did that and got the platinums and can watch these masterpieces of media. Thanks Adam great work!
Good idea to play them for yourself first. I'm quite proud of the MGS episodes, especially this one and MGS2. MGS1 is getting an episode in the first half of next year, I've never played it so I'm especially excited.
One of my favorite games of all time. Loved this episode, Adam. You've actually inspired me to want to get the platinum for this game as well. Always thought it was rather intimidating, but I think I'm finally up for it. Cheers!
Wow! Soo happy the algorithm recommended your channel. I've always put trying to platinum MGS4 considering how tough it looks. Now I need to watch your MGS2 and 3 seires....heck all of these videos! This is a great series!
love seeing passion projects like this, it was an amazing ride of highs and lows, Adam. All the struggle was worth it! can't wait for the next episode on MW2, and of course, the next big passion project whenever that comes about hehe
Yeah, an absolute passion project. Definitely worth it in the end. The next big passion project will be recorded end of this and worked on throughout next year.
I’ve never been into the MGS series, but you put out great videos about them and I can tell they put up a real challenge. Good job dude. Also, that moment at 44:07 when you say what your strategy is reminds me of the famous “crab battle” a hilarious video from the early days of RUclips.
Just stumbled across this video in my recommended as I look to watch something during work. Man this is so entertaining, great job! Can't wait to go and watch your other playthroughs of games I love, I already see you've done MGS2 as well so I'm excited to watch that next. Gotta say that the first 10 mins or so were absolutely hilarious, the way you said 'Folks...I am so nervous about this chicken emblem.' floored me hahahaha, then followed by 'oh what?? I don't care!' in that Irish accent lol. All the best for the other games you tackle!
Just found your channel, I bought a Ps Vita from japan to finish MGS 2 Plat. I didn’t complete it when I was 15 and it has been eating away at me missing only one trophy which is the Virtually impossible. Your videos give me the motivation to try and finish what I couldn’t 12 years ago.
I’ve been double dutching with the idea also lol … I just finished 2 and 3. Kinda scared to even start 4 .. the first two were already difficult enough
The clip at end and the ending with The W...... song plays was created masterfully, I wanna thank you for your best episode and Kojima and his team that made best games and stories I could ever think of.
You have earned a new sub because I loved every second of you going through hell for the viewers. It’s an accomplishment and I’m glad to now scan through your videos for any games I love. Realizing it may sound like I’m a piece of shit for enjoying your struggle but tbh that’s the side dish to the entree being I can’t willingly put myself in the place of Platinum Hunting yet I love watching it
Adam I gotta say you have outdone yourself this time. This is one of my all time favorite games and when I saw you made a platinum journey on this I got so excited to see you play this. Keep up the great work, these videos always make my day whenever they come out. I’d be interested in seeing a Prey platinum playthrough, very similar to dishonored.
Thank you very much. I'm proud of this episode. Delighted you enjoy them so much. I won't be doing an episode about Prey but would like to play it for fun at some point.
@@AdamMcDermott That’s understandable, im sure you have plenty of other games lined up as it is. Prey is a fun game in my opinion. I would be interested in seeing a platinum episode of either the remake of RE4or the calypso protocol whenever they come out.
@@AdamMcDermott I been watching a few of em and I'm glad I stumbled upon the channel. Im loving all the content I'm finding for mgs and just games I like in general. Definitely a new subscriber!
One of the best gaming videos I’ve ever watched. So relatable with all of your reactions. Incredibly informative. Hopefully one day I can crack open and cold on with finishing this plstinum
Yooo this just popped up in my feed and I realised I haven't watched your videos in years. Thoroughly enjoyed this one and Im going to watch back on what I've missed. Keep it up !!
Your videos are so inspirational Adam. The self-motivation you must have to push through is amazing. This was one of my favourite platinum journeys so far.
Really love your channel man! Highly underrated content and thanks for attempting to do this platinum run of MGS4! I never realized at how antagonizing it is to get the plat on this game.
I am starting with Mgs2 for my mgs platinium journey and I can't describe how much your videos motivate me to do so, you're always challenging and pushing yourself through those games and always getting the platinium and it's so inspiring for me, so glad I discovered your channel and may god bless you with all you want from this world.
I will say this every single time you upload these. Never stop uploading these literally nothing makes me more happy when I see you upload one of these
The mgs Saga is my favourite one, and this video did bring back some memories i forgot i had. I didnt got the platinum trophy, and probably will never try it, but seeing you doing it, made me feel that i can achieve this trophy too. Great video, great game, and this last minutes of the video and the Goodbye to snake and ps3 sure made me fell nostalgic. Oh great times when I had the time to play it. Congrats man, you achieved what every MGS fan wants!
Glad I could bring back some memories for you. If I got the platinum, I'm sure you can too. The ending of this video was important to me. So many good times with the PS3 and Snake over the year, wanted to do them justice.
What a great review and playthrough, honestly I was never capable of finishing this platinum but while I was watching you doing it, I was also cheering for you. What a nice song selection for the end of the video. Awesome job on this one.
Yo Adam congrats on this video hitting 100k views brother, its my favorite episode of yours and i keep coming back to it so its awesome to see it at 100k which is massive
This was the first platinum journey I ever watched, as well as my favorite. Mgs4 is one of my favorite games of all time, and you did it such justice. Truly a special episode, and the outro with the song was an amazing tribute to snake and the metal gear saga.
Cool to hear what your first episode was. Glad you enjoyed the episode so much as well as the tribute at the end. Everything came together really well.
Congratulations Adam I knew you could do it, a great platinum to have in your collection. I myself have just got the platinum for Dead Space 2 having been in my backlog for 11 years. Your videos are motivating and encourage me a lot when trophy hunting. I am definitely going to attempt the Metal Gear Solid 4 platinum someday. Keep up the great work.
What a wild ride! Love all your videos Adam but there's something about your MGS journeys that I just can't get enough of! When I first played the game they hadn't even come out with trophies for it yet so this was all news to me and it looked absolutely gruelling mate, hats off to you! Great work as always and looking forward to the next Platinum Journey.
Literally got the platinum for this last week. I remember your channel being recommended about MGS2 and because of your video I finished it. Funny how things circle around
The look on your face when you realized you had to do the chicken trophy is how I feel on Sundays when going to Chik fil A only to remember it's closed on Sundays.
Since uploading videos about my Platinums to RUclips, I'm starting to get recommend videos and channels by other RUclipsrs who make the same type of content that I never knew existed. Since binging a few of your videos, you make great content Adam 👍🏼 Good luck with your next Platinum!
Just wanted to say congrats on the video. Honestly one of the best videos I’ve ever watched on RUclips. Well done, you should be proud of what you have achieved here.
Hey Adam, the algorithm recently threw me at your channel and I have to say keep up the good work, your videos are very entertaining and well produced. I've watched and thoroughly enjoyed most of your Platinum Journeys videos and look forward to catching up with the rest. I'll keep a 4-pack of Guinness in the fridge for the future episodes. Cheers 🍻
Welcome to the channel. Glad you are enjoying the series. I'm writing the voice-over for Modern Warfare 2 this week and will have the episodes out next month. Yes, a 4-pack of Guinness will go nicely with future episodes :)
Total playtime was about 85 hours. Around 120 with the time spent idle.
Next up is Modern Warfare 2.
Great video Adam look so turf well done and fair play to you mate. Think i would had wreck a few controllers lol 👍👍
Let’s go modern warfare 2
The legend returns last time I remember you were not doing another call of duty because of veteran next platinum journey for me is miles morales on PS5
MW2 is much easier than the first game.
@@jamieconnelly4350 Thankfully, yes.
This is your best episode. When you push yourself, we see how good you really are.
"You're pretty good!"
"Don't push yourself"
-Solid Snake,
Arsenal Gear, 2009
As a proud owner of this platinum, congratulations I know exactly how much of a pain these emblems are! This is one hell of a journey!
We know each other's pain :)
I could plat metal gear rising on ps3 but didn’t have the patience to redo all this
I don't know how you guys get the patience to do this. Kojima is horrible with trophies
2 remains the hardest. 4 was just time consuming.
Oh I know, I have the platinum in all MGS games ( well almost all I haven't played Revengeance ) and I agree about MGS2 although getting the big boss emblem in MGS4 is more than just time consuming it requires key knowledge on enemy A.I, placement, boss weaknesses and of course great use of your non lethal arsenal(which means skill)
One of the most underrated series on RUclips. Great stuff as always Adam!
Thank you very much. Cool to have you watching the series. I'm honoured.

The multiverse has broken
oh hello Micky...didn't expect you here...
The guy following Snake in Act 3 is actually some dwarf geckos, standing on top of each other in disguise. I think they appear in a cutscene later on.
Ooo, very cool. Thanks for the info.
I’m slightly embarrassed to say that even though I earned this platinum I did not know about the geckos following Snake either until your video.
One thing that goes under appreciated in Adam’s videos is his ability for contextual storytelling. Even as somebody who has never played MGS4, I can immediately get a grasp on everything happening in each scene thanks to Adam’s ability to fill in the blanks with his script writing. Amazing work!

Nice to hear that I've got the balance right in this one.
A wonderful episode. Brought back many memories of doing this insane Platinum. And a very fitting farewell to PS3
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. Such an insane platinum. Yeah, I think the perfect sendoff for the PS3.
The game came out in like 08. The console had another 4 years life in it lol
@@David-nd4to The trophy patch came out in 2012 though.
Trophies came out in 2008
I can't wait to watch this later. It's actually insane how much time you've put into this episode. I remember when you announced it. You truly are a top tier content creator. Well done Adam.
That teaser at the end was absolutely masterful! Can’t wait to see it.
what was it teasing?
Watch the last 25 seconds of the video and you’ll see 👀

One of the best series on RUclips for sure. The amount of dedication is unreal.
I got this platinum last year as my 100th. Well done Adam this is an impressive feat!
This was a great watch Adam, the commentary, the editing and the way it all comes together is brilliant. You are criminally underwatched my man! Keep it up and good luck with the Witcher 👍🏻
Thank you very much. That is nice of you to say such kind words.
I know this took you an insane amount of time but wow this is something else. Incredible. Adam you've achieved something insane here.
Thank you very much. I'm really proud of it.
seriously well done on this mate, great vid as always and clearly a herculean task doing all the playthroughs. GG
Magnum opus type shit. Feels like a real culmination of all your work over the years, immaculate sendoff to the ps3.
Congratulations!
That is a huge compliment. I also feel like this is the culmination of years of work.
Cheers!
Monstor of a video Adam, whilst i’ve never played MGS bar the first one, i can appreciate the work gone into this. Well done friend👏🏻
Thank you very much. A monster of a video indeed.
The strategy guide helped me get this play. Even then, this one was hard AF to accomplish. Glad you were able to get it as well
I knew you can do it! You've completed Metal Gear Solid 2, which is impossible for me, also mgs4 is very hard but still possible for bare humans.

I've recently completed the game this year. Certainly the best mg game ever made. It was a good fight, a good moment.
It's the worst in my opinion lol

What a God-Tier video with a surprisingly well-done tear jerking ending montage to close the book on this genre for good.
Thank you very much. The ending was important for me to get right, kind of sad saying goodbye to Snake and the PS3.
This has to be one of the best platinum trophy episodes. It feels like such an adventure
Thank you very much. Was trying to go for an adventure feeling, glad you felt that.

You have earned a new sub because I loved every second of you going through hell for the viewers. It’s an accomplishment and I’m glad to now scan through your videos for any games I love.
Realizing it may sound like I’m a piece of shit for enjoying your struggle but tbh that’s the side dish to the entree being I can’t willingly put myself in the place of Platinum Hunting yet I love watching it
Welcome to the channel! No worries enjoying my struggle, haha.
Adam I gotta say you have outdone yourself this time. This is one of my all time favorite games and when I saw you made a platinum journey on this I got so excited to see you play this. Keep up the great work, these videos always make my day whenever they come out. I’d be interested in seeing a Prey platinum playthrough, very similar to dishonored.
Thank you very much. I'm proud of this episode. Delighted you enjoy them so much.
I won't be doing an episode about Prey but would like to play it for fun at some point.
@@AdamMcDermott That’s understandable, im sure you have plenty of other games lined up as it is. Prey is a fun game in my opinion. I would be interested in seeing a platinum episode of either the remake of RE4or the calypso protocol whenever they come out.
@@swizzlord7731 RE4 Remake, yes. Calisto Protocol, maybe. Not too interested in it at the moment.
I like the camera style that you use on your videos, it feels like a documentary style playthrough. Please keep up this style it feels so unique
Glad you like it. Been making these videos for 9 years, I'm definitely keeping up the style. Learned how to make them by studying documentaries.
@@AdamMcDermott I been watching a few of em and I'm glad I stumbled upon the channel. Im loving all the content I'm finding for mgs and just games I like in general. Definitely a new subscriber!
@@Harrison_MorganVery cool to hear. Welcome to the channel. Delighted you enjoy my videos.
Good job, deserves much more likes for your effort!
Thank you very much!
One of the best gaming videos I’ve ever watched. So relatable with all of your reactions. Incredibly informative. Hopefully one day I can crack open and cold on with finishing this plstinum
Thank you very much. Delighted by your high praise.
If I can get the platinum, I'm sure you can too.
This is one of my favourite videos. I've always wanted to replay MGS4 but I'm living it vicariously through your vids. Exceptional editing too!
I'm honoured this is one of your favourites videos. That is pretty cool for me.
I enjoyed this episode immensely Adam. Glad you pulled through!
Cheers. Glad you enjoyed the episode so much.
Yooo this just popped up in my feed and I realised I haven't watched your videos in years. Thoroughly enjoyed this one and Im going to watch back on what I've missed.
Keep it up !!
Cheers. Welcome back to the channel!
Your videos are so inspirational Adam. The self-motivation you must have to push through is amazing. This was one of my favourite platinum journeys so far.
Thank you. This is one of my favourite episodes too.
Have saved this for later, absolutely buzzing for this episode! Keep it up Adam!
Really love your channel man! Highly underrated content and thanks for attempting to do this platinum run of MGS4!
I never realized at how antagonizing it is to get the plat on this game.
That is nice of you to say. Thank you. Yeah, big undertaking but worth it.
I am starting with Mgs2 for my mgs platinium journey and I can't describe how much your videos motivate me to do so, you're always challenging and pushing yourself through those games and always getting the platinium and it's so inspiring for me, so glad I discovered your channel and may god bless you with all you want from this world.
I'm honoured my videos motivate you. That's so cool to hear.
Hope you get all you want from this world too.
I will say this every single time you upload these. Never stop uploading these literally nothing makes me more happy when I see you upload one of these
Don't worry, buddy. I'll be around for many years to come.
The mgs Saga is my favourite one, and this video did bring back some memories i forgot i had. I didnt got the platinum trophy, and probably will never try it, but seeing you doing it, made me feel that i can achieve this trophy too.
Great video, great game, and this last minutes of the video and the Goodbye to snake and ps3 sure made me fell nostalgic. Oh great times when I had the time to play it.
Congrats man, you achieved what every MGS fan wants!
Glad I could bring back some memories for you. If I got the platinum, I'm sure you can too.
The ending of this video was important to me. So many good times with the PS3 and Snake over the year, wanted to do them justice.
No idea who you are, but the algorithm recommended this video, and now I'm subscribed! Woo hoo!
Welcome to the channel. Thanks for subscribing!
What a great review and playthrough, honestly I was never capable of finishing this platinum but while I was watching you doing it, I was also cheering for you.
What a nice song selection for the end of the video. Awesome job on this one.
I'm honoured you were cheering me on.
When I found that song for the outro it was such a good feeling. Fit so well for Old Snake. Glad you enjoyed it.
This one really was a journey, grats on the plat Adam! Fantastic video as always
Yo Adam congrats on this video hitting 100k views brother, its my favorite episode of yours and i keep coming back to it so its awesome to see it at 100k which is massive
Thank you very much. Really happy with it hitting 100K, quite proud of the episode. Delighted it is your favourite and you keep coming back to it.
Congrats on getting this plat! Just listening to all you had to do reassures me this is one I'll never get.
Thank you. Yeah, would not recommend this platinum.
This was the first platinum journey I ever watched, as well as my favorite. Mgs4 is one of my favorite games of all time, and you did it such justice. Truly a special episode, and the outro with the song was an amazing tribute to snake and the metal gear saga.
Cool to hear what your first episode was. Glad you enjoyed the episode so much as well as the tribute at the end. Everything came together really well.
Congratulations Adam I knew you could do it, a great platinum to have in your collection. I myself have just got the platinum for Dead Space 2 having been in my backlog for 11 years. Your videos are motivating and encourage me a lot when trophy hunting. I am definitely going to attempt the Metal Gear Solid 4 platinum someday. Keep up the great work.
Thanks. Congrats on platinuming Dead Space 2, a might challenge. I honoured you find my videos encouraging.
Massively respect the amount of effort put into these videos- great work! Looking forward to future content
Thank you very much. Glad you appreciate the effort.
Every time I watch a video of yours, a keep thinking about how amazing you are.
Well done my friend well done
I'm honoured. Thank you!
What a wild ride! Love all your videos Adam but there's something about your MGS journeys that I just can't get enough of! When I first played the game they hadn't even come out with trophies for it yet so this was all news to me and it looked absolutely gruelling mate, hats off to you! Great work as always and looking forward to the next Platinum Journey.
I have a soft spot for the MGS episodes too.
Gruelling indeed. Worth it in the end though.
Cheers, buddy!
It took me a year to find this video and your channel. What a masterpiece. Thank you for doing the impossible, Boss.

I'm honoured. Welcome to the channel!
Congratz Adam! Incredibly well done!
I really enjoyed this episode of Platinum Journey.
Thank you very much. Delighted you enjoyed it so much.
Literally got the platinum for this last week. I remember your channel being recommended about MGS2 and because of your video I finished it. Funny how things circle around
Time is a flat circle :)
The look on your face when you realized you had to do the chicken trophy is how I feel on Sundays when going to Chik fil A only to remember it's closed on Sundays.
Since uploading videos about my Platinums to RUclips, I'm starting to get recommend videos and channels by other RUclipsrs who make the same type of content that I never knew existed. Since binging a few of your videos, you make great content Adam 👍🏼 Good luck with your next Platinum!
Thank you very much. Welcome to the channel.
Was looking forward to this one. Great stuff. The longer format works quite well too.
Thank you. Yeah, I like the longer episodes too but the time commitment to make them is huge. Can only do them once in a while.
@@AdamMcDermott Aye. Means the longer ones will feel like more of an event when they do come along.
Even after all these years the graphics on this game are pure perfection
I agree. Holds up really well.
Adam I've been waiting for this one and bro you didn't disappoint us!
Delighted to hear it didn't disappoint :)
Amazing bro honestly still not a clue why this channel hasnt exploded yet? Such a massive hat tip for this plat.
That is nice of you to say. The channel will get there one, I'm in this for the long run.
@@AdamMcDermott well i hope you realise we all appreciate it man these journey vids are some of the best vids on here. Cheers for what you do.
You're an absolute madlad for going after this platinum, great job!
Thank you very much!
Just wanted to say congrats on the video. Honestly one of the best videos I’ve ever watched on RUclips. Well done, you should be proud of what you have achieved here.
That is a huge compliment. Thank you. I am indeed proud of what I've done :)
This Plat was is and forever will be a pain in the ass… Congrats, def one of the rarest plats!
Those run of four playthroughs with just different continues, kills, alerts are such a drag. I think it would be a fine platinum without them.
Hey Adam, the algorithm recently threw me at your channel and I have to say keep up the good work, your videos are very entertaining and well produced. I've watched and thoroughly enjoyed most of your Platinum Journeys videos and look forward to catching up with the rest. I'll keep a 4-pack of Guinness in the fridge for the future episodes. Cheers 🍻
Welcome to the channel. Glad you are enjoying the series. I'm writing the voice-over for Modern Warfare 2 this week and will have the episodes out next month.
Yes, a 4-pack of Guinness will go nicely with future episodes :)
Really a fan of mgs4 played over 20-30 times got the platinum but not recorded. Awesome content bro 🎉🎉
Very cool. Cheers, glad you enjoyed the video.
Such a likeable individual. Good work, mate!
Thank you very much!
Bro I love this channel. You manage to entertain me and motivate me to platinum very hard games both at the same time.
I'm honoured to hear that. Cheers!
