So for anyone who finds this part of the game difficult to understand, the reason is that monsoon is using the original definition of the word meme rather than its more widely known usage. Originally the word "meme" was a shortened version of the word "memetics". Memetics is essentially the evolution of ideas, looking at how ideas are spread through the population as well as how those ideas change over time and are passed along through the generations (notice how meme and memetics sound similar to gene and genetics?). Technically modern memes would still fit under the original definition (they are ideas that spread and change after all) but they would only be a subset of them. So what monsoon is saying actually isnt... well, isnt AS ridiculous as it first sounds, its just that now that the most common usage of meme has changed. Thus it sounds weird when someone uses the original definition.
It was still hilarious even back then, at 2013 the word had already fully devolved into the meaning we have nowadays, I just think it's a case of Kojima not knowing this because English is not his first language. BTW that meaning is what makes the final exchange between Raiden and him make sense. Monsoon celebrates that he passed one final "meme" to Raiden (that being, the idea that Raiden now kills for the pleasure of killing, just like Monsoon did). Raiden tells him his memes are dead but Monsoon was absolutely right, the change he made in Raiden's psyche is still with him at the end of the game.
A key component of that is that its a complex notion or idea that doesnt even need to be consciously thought of, all you need is for it to already be sublimated by a population so that their response to a related stimulus has an appropriate response trained into them by said memetic mutation. So a picture might just be a picture to someone, but others who know the associated memetic mutation related to it will be thinking through its lens in relation to any complex topics under it without having to have it explained.
I like when Alicia laughs at random things others don’t and give overly-dramatic responses. That’s hard reacting, she doesn’t need to “react harder”. 😤
The Winds of Destruction is the name of the unit all the cyborg bosses belong to within the Desperado PMC. All their codenames are wind conditions in the regions they come from. Sundowner (a Californian wind known for spreading wildfires), Mistral (a strong, cold wind in France), Monsoon (Traditionally a wind known to reverse seasonal weather), Khamsin (a hot, dusty wind in the north of africa that can reach 40°C), and Minuano (a cold, howling wind in brazil).
wow, I know for that last fight she mentioned upgrades, but it can't be understated how knowledge made a significant difference - masterfully played and infectious fun
She started singing Hit The Road Jack and I thought of a more suiting version. 🎶Pick up the sword, Jack. And don't ya hold back no more, no more, no more, no more. Pick up the sword, Jack. And don't ya hold back no more~🎶
I'm pretty sure the entire reason Raiden went with the mariachi look was because it would hide some of his metallic body... or that and he's a dumb nerd and just wanted to cosplay.
New to the channel and liking it a lot. If I can make a suggestion for a next internet historian video: "the gentleman pirate" from his incognito mode channel is a great watch.
Bold of Alicia to assume that Raiden pre-cyborgification didn't have them cheeks. There was an entire level of MGS2 dedicated to having Raiden be naked.
I remember during the ultrakill reaction, you wanting some russianbadger videos, so maybe his siege since i beliefe that’s what his known for or his newest video. Hope the treatment is going well.
If you're looking for something new to do some reactions to I suggest "Ze Frank", if you think you'd enjoy short animal documentaries. He weaves in good humor along w/ the facts about the subject matter.
"yall are some fucking perverts for knowing that" well that's the pot calling the kettle black :P also how dare you have not shown the full cinematic! "Memes! the DNA of the soul!" :D
I hope one day you get to experience MGS1-3 in the future. I'd suggest 4 but I'm 50% certain that it's like two movies worth of cutscenes so be careful.
Now you can officially watch part 1 of Max0rs incorrect summary. Congrats. Eventually you might play ALL the Metal Gear Solid games or at least the main ones then vome back to this and realize that as ridiculous as the entire franchise is, its genius and somehow this and MGS2 keep coming back as the modern societal predictors. Im dead serious Kojima wasnt even directly involved in Rising yet it predicted so much of what it was going for ahead of its time just like MGS2 did which also involved our main boy Raiden and memes along with the coming of internet culture.
We're dealing with someone who found Elden Ring0's "fuck off, get stronger, try again later" boss (Margit) and went "you know what, no, I'm killing this bitch today, with this gear and these levels" then actually fucking did it. As a _non souls player._ After that happened I have nothing but mad respect for her skills.
Amazin gamin! If youre still taking suggestions, IH did a dramatic reading of the worlds grewtest fanfiction, My Immortal, on his second channel and its peak reaction content
Booty cheek implants so his wife would love him. Honestly, that tracks. Also damn, what a crazy spectacle of a game! For your next game, I'd highly recommend Asura's Wrath. I said as much in the Discord, but it really is something I think would be right up your alley. Should be available on PS5, XBOX One/X/S.
Ok so here is my reaction request double dutch dunktakular list Maxor metal gear rising revengence part one and two Internet historian covid stories part one and two Russian badger totally accurate battle grounds review parts one, two, and three.
Should you still be on the lookout for good videos, give Big Boss' "The Baseball Game That Caused a Riot" a shot. It's very in the vein of Internet Historian.
Just letting you know, the Max0r video (at least part 1) ends at Monsoon
Yeah Alicia you should at least watch part 1 you won’t be spoiled unless you watch part 2
I mean people in her Twitch keep quoting him the entire time.
Not sure if watching it at this point is a good idea
Thats just what I think

@@mordirit8727 I wasn't saying the definition has changed since 2013. I meant that he was using an older definition even back then.

@@tenjenk Basicly: Meme is something that everyone knows and understands.
@@tdpuuhailee8222 or just an ingroup. its an escalated injoke.
Alicia enhances the entire over the top MGR experience so much. Fkn love these streams
I like when Alicia laughs at random things others don’t and give overly-dramatic responses. That’s hard reacting, she doesn’t need to “react harder”. 😤
i love how this game can be taken serous and as a joke at the same time. either way it's a blast
Genius Kojumbo

Raiden already has a kid. Also his wife has a habit of gaslighting him so maybe it’s a good thing they don’t see each other much
Part of me hopes rose kicked her gaslighting habit between mgs4 and rising
Wasnt tha the AI?
wow, I know for that last fight she mentioned upgrades, but it can't be understated how knowledge made a significant difference - masterfully played and infectious fun

🎶Pick up the sword, Jack. And don't ya hold back no more, no more, no more, no more. Pick up the sword, Jack. And don't ya hold back no more~🎶
I honestly love the hell out of this soundtrack, goes so damn hard!
Monsoon is basically the psycho mantis of rising but instead of telling you about the games on your memory card he tells you about memes
Alicia doesn't know that Raiden's wife is a much worse person than him
Chat didn't gaslight, he did slice George, they just stuck George ina cyborg body after getting sliced.
Also Fun fact Raiden is an Albino Liberian
I'm pretty sure the entire reason Raiden went with the mariachi look was because it would hide some of his metallic body... or that and he's a dumb nerd and just wanted to cosplay.
This Game is What you can call… A GOLDEN EXPERIENCE!
Pain inhibitors stop him from feeling pain. They inhibit it. By turning his pain inhibitors off, he let himself feel pain.
MGR is an experience. Looking very forward to you hitting the endgame.
(At 16:45) if they were on, he *wouldn't* feel that.
Let's face it, the proper response to a moving box in the MG universe is an RPG.
Blueberry? Nah, this is Glacier Freeze flavour Gatorade. You can tell by the colour.
Fun Fact: Like Monsoon, Mistral, Minuano and Sundowner are names for winds
Today I learned you could call a booty concave.
I’m an educational channel fr fr
Ay yes. Moonsoon and his memes. Really helped bring out Raiden's inner edgelord.
I hope you check out more Metal gear in the future it's a great series with wacky stories
MEMES, the DNA of the SOS
New to the channel and liking it a lot.
If I can make a suggestion for a next internet historian video: "the gentleman pirate" from his incognito mode channel is a great watch.
Memes. The dna of the soul
And just like normal genes, they replicate. They grow, infecting more and more people
- Kevin
Alicia grabbing the gatorade: Give me your soul...
16:50 Gurl, its a pain INHIBIT-or, it prevents pain, and its turned off, lol
Bold of Alicia to assume that Raiden pre-cyborgification didn't have them cheeks. There was an entire level of MGS2 dedicated to having Raiden be naked.
I'd like to suggest this video: 'The Unknown Tekken God: How Arslan Ash Overcame Borders and Legends to Win Evo Japan', made by theScore esports.
Pirate related video from Internet Historian (Incognito Mode) cause u started OP
The Gentleman Pirate | Sundance Rejects
Damn, she is good! Good job!
For your next reaction I would love to see your impressions of "Astartes" the full cut togeather video. It's not long about 13min.
I remember during the ultrakill reaction, you wanting some russianbadger videos, so maybe his siege since i beliefe that’s what his known for or his newest video. Hope the treatment is going well.
If you're looking for something new to do some reactions to I suggest "Ze Frank", if you think you'd enjoy short animal documentaries. He weaves in good humor along w/ the facts about the subject matter.
2:13 Kiryu-chan!
Monsoon is my fave char from this game, been reppin him since it came out
2:40 Damn, she mastered that parry quick
"yall are some fucking perverts for knowing that"
well that's the pot calling the kettle black :P
also how dare you have not shown the full cinematic! "Memes! the DNA of the soul!" :D
lambasting chat on the outside - thanking them on the inside
I hope one day you get to experience MGS1-3 in the future. I'd suggest 4 but I'm 50% certain that it's like two movies worth of cutscenes so be careful.

Nom nom nom ^^
Ever wish you could like and subscribe a second time...and a third...and a fourth...
Hey Alicia just wanted to throw a random game suggestion at you: X-Com 2: War of the Chosen.
One video you could look up thats pretty chill and good are game reviews by SethTzeentach, my favorite being Endless Space 2.
Man I can't believe you defeated Monsus first try, goated gamer gg
was more like 3-5 tries, but that's still really good
We're dealing with someone who found Elden Ring0's "fuck off, get stronger, try again later" boss (Margit) and went "you know what, no, I'm killing this bitch today, with this gear and these levels" then actually fucking did it.

Amazin gamin! If youre still taking suggestions, IH did a dramatic reading of the worlds grewtest fanfiction, My Immortal, on his second channel and its peak reaction content
The stream was so funny lol
You are now ready to watch the first Max0r MGR:R video.
Also, get the HF blade upgraded. The whole game will be much easier if you do.
Just want to say Jetstream Sam is my favorite anime.
Booty cheek implants so his wife would love him. Honestly, that tracks. Also damn, what a crazy spectacle of a game!
For your next game, I'd highly recommend Asura's Wrath. I said as much in the Discord, but it really is something I think would be right up your alley. Should be available on PS5, XBOX One/X/S.
16:12 to 16:15
Ayo?... Thirsty much, Alicia?
The queen has returned
💅🏾😎
@@aliciaxdeath you know we love ya, Alicia 😍
If you haven't seen any of Ssethtzeentach's videos, you should. His reviews are.......... interesting.
Ok so here is my reaction request double dutch dunktakular list
Maxor metal gear rising revengence part one and two
Internet historian covid stories part one and two
Russian badger totally accurate battle grounds review parts one, two, and three.
I knew you'd have a field day with this one, because who doesn't like listening to some weirdo pontificating about memes for twenty minutes?
Should you still be on the lookout for good videos, give Big Boss' "The Baseball Game That Caused a Riot" a shot. It's very in the vein of Internet Historian.
Polite reminder/ request to talk to Kevin in the codex at the start of the level, please?
never knew it was possible to suck so bad at mgrr
58 seconds let’s go notification squad!!
YOU’RE SPEEEEEDIN!
I loved this game. Even bought the Gray Fox dlc lol
Never did the Sam DLC tho I really should...
Wow, Alicia got pounded by harambes and cut a kid on stream!? Cancelled! XD
Hello
I have game you should play if you haven’t already it’s God of War Ragnarok. I think you will get a kick out of it
