Intentional as a nod to Chris? Probably not. Heterochromia is just one of what i like to call "special snowflake makers"-you give a character something unique that has no bearing on the plot and just serves to make someone 'special'. Imagine if Harry Potter's lightning bolt scar was mentioned once, had no impact on the plot, and was never mentioned again.

Oh, nope, whoops, sorry, he just blew more of Frank's cash on vidya. My bad.

How long until Frank gets thoroughly sick of her shit and insists she get a job?

Her pretensions of being a game developer are now thoroughly over, so she's now confirmed housewife who doesn't do any actual housework. Surely there's only so much splurging on trivial shit like new phones and ancient video games that Frank can put up with.

Motherfucker is acting like a real woman!
 
Just seen this part from a R60 Playthrough and it's a total MGS3 ripoff.

(I find Holiday's scream hilarious tbh fams)

We already had the N313 (the name of Metal Gear 1's operation) space station, Val commentating that Holiday didn't improve her driving after Tselinoyarsk (the location of MGS3's story).

Now here's the total ripoff of The Boss's defection cutscene. Holiday/Snake gets a leg/arm broken by a former friend/mentor, then thrown off a roof. There's this "it's the mission" line, there's also the "You can't come with us" line which frankly doesn't work here since none told Holiday to join in the first place, as opposed to Volgin thinking Snake might join the Cobras.

And after that, Snake/Holiday have to heal themselves and recover. Except it's badly done in R60 since you just get patched up almost instantly and get up for a round 2 like 10 mins laters instead of taking the time to recover from serious injuries and have another mission briefing. There's just no time to set up a mood or something.
Also there's no river to explain Holiday surviving her fall.

tl;dr : R60 does exactly what MGS3 did 12 years before, but without anything that made it good, and a lot more edgy shit instead. Wu can't write to save her life.

What's going to be interesting is if Brianna tries to claim any of her video game purchases as "business expenses" on her taxes. She mentioned as much once during a particular Smug Wu period and that's kind of one of the reasons I've been paying more attention to her vidya purchases. Surely Frank wouldn't let her try something that stupid but you never know.

There's also a scene where Crimson 09 points a gun at one of the main characters (Holiday or Minuete; can't remember), then playfully flips it around on her finger so that the other character can take it. I can't remember where else I've seen that before, but I swear I have seen the exact same thing (same animations and all) in a scene from another game (probably Metal Gear Solid).

^Also this.

There's nothing wrong with homages to other works, but the references pervade all of Rev60 like it is someone's shitty MGS fanfiction turned into a video game with all of the characters replaced with original ones... Wow, Rev60 is to MGS as Fifty Shades of Gray was to Twilight.

EDIT: Oh, and all of the enemies being named "[Adjectivized noun] + [Noun]" (Snow Leopard, Plague Leopard, etc.) feels like an obvious allusion to MGS, too.

There are a few reasons why you buy a Genesis at the age of 40 and a lot of games:
  1. You sold or lost your Genesis back in the day and want to have something that reminds you of your childhood... and occasionally play one of the old games you had as a child/young adult.

  2. You are really into retro gaming and always wanted to have a Genesis and play all the old (good) games as they were meant to be played.

  3. You are a collector, like the AVGN or LGR-Guy and just like to collect old things and are totally dedicated to your hobby and proud of your collection.

  4. You are a complete hack, who should be working on a patch to fix that last, unplayable boss in that septic tank of a game you've released on steam and which only merit is, that every Let's Play of it is a source of hilarity. But instead of doing the sensible thing - as well as sending out the Kickstarter backer rewards you promised - you decided to buy another toy on a whim with your husbands money, to distract you from what for a miserable being you truly are. This is because you have no idea what really to do with your life, except collecting fake gamer girl cred. Ultimately the Genesis and the games will go the way of all the things you've lost interest in, and become buried beneath an inch-thick layer of yellowish, nicotine-laden, sticky dust.

Sounds like MGS4's very last scene in the cemetery, when Big Boss points then drops the Patriot at Snake so he can give him a big ol' hug.

The idiot is literally putting glue in his ears. That's going to pick up all kinds of dirt and filth, and this idiot is sticking it in his ears. I hope he enjoys his ear infection.

Reading this I have the image of Frank in my head, who is watching Netflix on the second screen and not paying attention to the game at all. He is just moving the mouse left and right and randomly pressing the ASDW-Keys. And each time the screen flashes he says in a monotone something like: "Oh no, you are so good, Brianna."
...and Brianna doesn't notice that he isn't giving a shit and thinks she has some kind of skill.

I think it's safe to file that one under "Shit that never happened". Note how she doesn't mention which "competitive FPS" this is, and just looking through her Steam/PlayStation library I don't see any game that can be considered competitive aside from Overwatch, which she hasn't touched in half a year and doesn't have splitscreen play anyways (because she bought the console version like a scrub). Of course, there's always the chance that it's something she purchased outside of the PS4 or Steam but I highly doubt it.

The jump-spin the player character does during those combat grid things is identical to the female blood elf jump-spin in WoW. Wu doesn't have an original thought in her head.
