The GOOYs: 007 First Light w/Ryan

So of course, let's hop into the story.

Let's talk about this a little bit.

So of course, as you kind of could guess from the title First Light, the game picks up with James Bond and he's part of the British military force before joining MI6.

So the very first mission of the game James isn't even a member of MI6.

He's actually like, you know, touching down on this like enemy base as part of like the British military, essentially, which I, again, I thought it was kind of cool.

Like it's not something we typically see in the movies.

Like they, they, it's not often that they really ever explore the background of James Bond in a lot of the movies that sometimes they do.

And also like the canon of James Bond also is kind of like all over the place, whether it's the books or the, or the movies, or even the Daniel Craig movies, which, you know, really tried to like kind of put a reset on, on the entire James, sorry, James Bond canon.

I don't know why I said James Cameron there.

Um, but I thought this is a kind of cool way of starting things out.

So one thing leads to another during his first mission, you know, MI6 kind of takes over the mission and kind of, you know, guides James along the way.

But then, you know, after the mission is over, James is invited to join MI6 or I shouldn't say invited more like transferred MI6.

They were basically just like, look, you're a British builder.

You're going to hand this dude over.

He's, he's going to be working with us now, essentially.

So, um, what was the cool, one of the cool things about this is that, um, You know, between each mission in 007 First Light, you actually get to go to MI6 headquarters and you get a chance to really explore things.

You get to go, you know, explore Q's office or, you know, Moneypenny's office or M's office.

Or again, like going to Q Labs is one of my favorite things.

Just geeking out and, you know, looking at the different gadgets that Q's put together.

It was just incredible.

So, so, so cool.

Like the, the James Bond nerd in me was freaking out.

Cause again, like I, I kind of grew up on, on James Bond movies.

I've always loved James Bond as a, as a movie franchise, which is why I always get excited when we see kind of good games based on, on the property anyways.

So one of the, one of the things that, that happens from here is as Bond joins MI6, he's super young.
