Ha! That was brilliant... not least of which because I think the Metal Gear series is one of the most overhyped things out there.

I don't get it... do I need to know the game?

^ Yes.

wrong sir! I respectfully disagree!

This makes no sense. The exclamation point NEVER appears above Solid Snake, only above regular soldiers. Also, David Hayter doesn't scream like that. Solid Snake is also far too resilient to be destroyed with one shot.

But most importantly, Solid Snake is the only Metal Gear character who hides in a barrel, but he doesn't have an eyepatch. Big Boss and Solidus Snake had eyepatches, but they never hid in barrels.

You FAIL!

Ha. That "eyepatch" is the Solid Eye, which is electronic. Solid Snake still has two eyes.

If I could add a comment to a channel, this would be * geek for sure.

Unfortunately, I have to admit, I was thinking the same thing myself.

seconded.
*geek funnytime goodness

Adding video to channels (Geek) - requested by my15minutes.

... also * parody because you need to know the original material.

Y'know, as a game, I could not be less interested in Metal Gear Solid. But its quirkiness and willingness to completely eviscerate the fourth wall gives it a thumbs up in my book.. I was watching my brother play it and found the cut scenes and bits of its humor to be highly entertaining.

As for these EA battlefield games. Ehn. Most of their attempts to inject some soul into this franchise seem very artificial... I mean, I played 2142 a little with roomates, but everything just seemed so generic and lifeless.

And they're also developing a 'wacky cartoon' version of a wargame for the franchise as well. Wonder where they could have gotten that bit of inspiration from..

I agree. EA is all about re-hashing and spitting out games with no regard to quality, replayability, and support. They have produced quite a few games that could've been GREAT, but fell terribly short by buggy games filled with exploits and laughable mistakes.

The metal gear series isnt the bestest thing ever produced either, but it is well produced, extremely thought-out, and very entertaining. Hideo Kojima's work has been and will be copied for years to come.

I think 2142 was a mistake. I wish they'd poured and continued to pour it all into maintaining a state of the art modern warefare game. Essentially... BF3 should have been made instead of BF2142.
