Don't start playing MGS 5 unless you have three hours to dedicate. You won't want to stop (you CAN, you just won't want to) until you unlock Mother Base. And the first hour of the game is just...mesmerizing. It was masterful. I envy you who will be experiencing it for the first time.
Jo the offer is still on the table. Bring back Red Engie and you'll be looking at a crisp $5 bill. And considering the price of consoles over there, you need all the money you can get.
@jen yen Koh, Think of it more like they left, so blue got new soldier, and really who the hell is going to go "ok yeah, you can have your job back while I look for new work".
Okay, here's one: after they left, everybody got more money because they didn't have to split it as many ways. Letting them come back would mean the boys would have to share again and make less money, so the boys have instituted this policy to keep them away.
This raises the question of how they got their jobs in the first place, since they were TF2 mercs before they were characters in this strip. But I can probably think of an explanation...
Captain's Log, Supplemental: These are some of the best shades of blue I've ever seen in this comic. Its like an indigo/teal, or something. Dat jelly bean color. Love it.
