In the real world, the only time travel we’re allowed is forward, at a rate of one hour per hour. But seeing what game characters do to make time pass more quickly, maybe it’s just as well. Consider these ways to make time go faster in The Witcher 3, Metal Gear Solid 5, Deadly Premonition and the rest, then subscribe for videos like this one weekly: http://www.tinyurl.com/SubToOxbox
Metal Gear Solid 5’s Venom Snake is exactly the kind of guy who would spend a whole day hiding in a bush, weeing in a bottle and waiting for the perfect moment to infiltrate an enemy stronghold.
Recognising how tedious this would be, MGS5 kits Snake out with the Phantom Cigar: a device that accelerates time and makes a lady say woah-oh a lot.
There is at least a bit of rationalisation behind the Phantom Cigar; it contains wormwood, which MGS5 reckons has hallucinatory and anaesthetic effects at high doses. Modern medicine unfortunately reckons it actually causes convulsions and kidney failure at high doses.
It’s only as risky as meditating in a forest full of monsters, though, which is how Geralt of The Witcher 3 kills time.
See, some monsters Geralt needs to kill only come out at certain times, such as nightwraiths.
That’s not great for a Witcher who isn’t paid by the hour, so rather than standing around waiting on the schedule of some ghostly apparition, Geralt can do a little meditation to pass the time.
We assume his finely tuned Witcher senses will bring him around if he’s about to be eaten by a roaming bear. Non-Witchers should practice caution.
