By Thomas LordcloseAuthor: Thomas LordName: Thomas Lord Email: tlord@gearpatrol.com Site: About: Writing an introduction for one’s self isn’t really an easy task. You try to think about things to say, but everything sounds cocky and conceited. Then I start to think… this is Gear Patrol after all, so how would I review myself?
Well, it’s safe to say I’m a big enthusiast of all things “gear” related. You can expect no shortage of posts covering a large range. It’s safe to say I lean on the sarcastic side and sometimes my humor might be out there, but that’s just what I do. (Ed: sarcastic writers at GP? surely you jest…) Whether it’s playing video games, paintball, working on cars, I like to immerse myself in all types of things. I consider myself a jack of all trade, a master of some and adventurous enough to try most things once.
Career wise I’m a Systems Administrator and served in the Air Force for 8 years - having spent time in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and South Korea.
I am originally from the Republic of Panama where I was born and raised, but spent some time residing in the states as my father was in the military and on the go. I currently live in Fort Walton Beach, which is a laid back spot with white sandy beaches and emerald green water. Don’t be jealous.
What does this mean to you: Plenty of rhetoric describing your soon to be favorite gear. Grab a brew, because I’m sure I’ll be having one, and let the reviews roll…

If you haven’t played any of the Meetal Gear series then MSG4 is a good way to get your feet wet. Guns of the Patriots is the fourth installment of the Metal Gear Solid series, by Kojima Productions and if you’ve seen the game trailers then you know this game is nothing short of bad ass.
Game synopsis, trailer and thoughts after the jump.
Set in 2014, MSG4 portrays a world where the restriction of military intervention on foreign soil has been eased, providing the need for private military companies (PMCs). The five largest PMCs are owned by one mother company named Outer Haven and, which is operated by Liquid Ocelot. Ocelot prepares to launch and huge armed insurrection and it’s your mission to take him out.
In MSG4 you play as an older version of Solid Snake, but don’t get it twisted, he’s still a bad ass mo-fo. To defeat your enemies you’ll have to use stealth tactics and traditional combat and Solid Snakes new camo will have you maneuvering the waste lands like a ninja.
I’ve been playing this game like a fiend for the past couple of days and can see how it has received highly acclaimed reviews . The online component of MGS4 has little to offer compared to other online shoot’em ups and not many people online seem to have headsets, so be prepared to kick ass silently. If you have a PS3 this game is a must own.
