While Lauryn is deep behind enemy lines (i.e. quite sick), Nicholas is busy organizing things back home in Mother Base, while trying not to bore all the new recruits with lectures on Maoism vs. Marxism-Leninism. In this rare solocast, he'll dive into Metal Gear's Cold War revisionism, discuss the effects that a more technologically constrained platform in the PSP has on gameplay mechanics, and wrap things up with a more philosophical interrogation of what "Outer Heaven" means as an ideology, even if Big Boss claims it isn't one.
