I had a lot of G-Unit jokes about diamond encrusted skull-faces and Big Boss hitting big ass ramps when this first hit YouTube but I lost them all. Hope you’re doing alright Chip, it’s never easy losing a member of the family.

Link doesn’t seem to work, and I cannot find episode 17 on the chip and ironicus website at all.

Yeah they seem to lead to the 404 pages at the minute.

They’re still up on Chip’s YouTube channel though until he has chance to fix it:

Thanks!

My bad, those pages should be fixed now!

Now we’ve got episode 18 up! Vapor Snake is very bad at managing his finances.

Vapor Snake, what is your obsession with capturing wild animals?

You ever get high and just want to pet a dog?

It’s like that just more extreme because he’s The Boss.

Can you capture frogs? We need a return to the mission.

Let’s hope Vapor Snake doesn’t go too overboard with the animals.

I don’t know what I love more about this ep, the super chill music en route to really ruin someone’s day, or just Big Boss and his happy instablender arm.

… It’s probably the arm. Something about the twirling power-up animation just cracks me tf up every time. It’s like a fairground attraction in miniature, I just can’t.

I know it would be anachronistic, but I was kind of disappointed that that tape wasn’t Goldfrapp’s “Ride a White Horse”, to be honest.

Well if Chip ever takes suggestions we can all nominate this one to be the first because damn that’s a good one.

And from that day forth that soldier never let his knife leave his side. He dubbed it his “Boss-cutter”.

The hand gets so much dumber, too

Can you capture secret animals with cages, like the Tsuchinoko in Snake Eater?

Please tell me he really does get an electric whisk or a weed whacker later on.

Oh, I won’t spoil anything but you’ve seen nothing yet

I guess a few “rare” animals count as “secrets” since some of them can only be found in very small, specific areas.

Not gonna specify what any of them are though. We’ll see when Vapor Snake inevitably bumps into them.

It’s time for Boss to slowly get the band back together.

I imagine with stronger fultons you could just steal all the vehicles they want you to destroy. Which would be fantastic.

A question, since I never really thought about this before. If you fulton a vehicle that has people in it, assuming you CAN do that, do you get everyone on board?
