[Ed. note: Out today at itch.io, Okay, Hero is a book analyzing the Metal Gear Solid series. Written by Reid McCarter and Edward Smith — known for their game criticism at Bullet Points Monthly — the text breaks the franchise down in a series of essays covering six of its key games.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Update Allows You to Play as Quiet
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain has released an update today. The new update adds new features to the game’s online competitive multiplayer mode, FOB missions and now you can play as Quiet, who is a tactical, sharp-shooting companion. She is the game’s primary female protagonist who supports Snake in both infiltration and combat.
