FUCK YEAH just watched A Penguin's Memories, the anime film about a penguin with ptsd finding happiness after the war. It was technically the alternate backstory of the hero, Mike, veteran of
'nam The Delta War, who was actually a beer mascot in the 80s. after being retired he was renamed Pentarou and turned into a video game character in Penguin Adventure, and Parodius. The former was the first game to be worked on by Hideo Kojima and the ending, where if you fuck up the princess dies, was reused for Metal Gear Solid! So. Snake would not be who we know him to be if not for this drunken, depressed penguin. Fuck yeah! I had a pot of hot toddies to soothe my throat while watching.
Thanks to my pals who watched it with me. Frank, MTDE, Nuffkins, Dijon, y'all are great.
