Insert Snakes on a Plane joke here

So I'm finally getting into Metal Gear Solid. I'm only.. what, 8 years behind the times? Hey, I played the original Metal Gear back in the day. UH OH THE TRUCK HAVE STARTED TO MOVE and all that.

Besides, Xenogears came out in 1998. I'm justified in missing out.

Anyway, what kind of sucks is that I managed to get a pretty good copy of the Greatest Hits version of MGS off eBay... and then realized they made an "enhanced remake" for the Gamecube in '03. This is what I get for not researching. Oh well, I kind of want to play both versions now that I've read up on it. I mean, you can shoot Mario in the Gamecube version! ♥

The reason I'm interested in the series now kind of came about because Snake is going to be in SSBB and I kind of always wanted to play it anyway, this was just a reason to do so. It's not like shady internet characters like firefly99 have put peer pressure on me or anything, honest.

That and, if I play yet another RPG right away my brain will explode. Even favorite genres need a little rest now and then.

I haven't gotten to play much of it so far as it only came in the mail yesterday. I basically saved it at the first opportunity and then got myself killed immediately for fun. But Snake is like a pimp and hitting on all the ladiez~


I also keep forgetting to mention my awesome new Macbook which I had to get to replace my old worn out laptop which was practically on its deathbed from the moment I got it. It's nice to have a laptop that is actually dependable. I installed Windows on it just to see how it worked, I doubt I will really use it for anything though.

Oh and I survived the rest of Connecticon but krile already posted about it and I don't really have anything to add, so let's just say it was fun and leave it at that~

The Metal Gear games are overrated -- Kojima has made better games. Like SNATCHER. Pretty much the only thing about the Metal Gear series I like is the humor.

Like I indicated, I've been out of the Metal Gear loop so I wouldn't know whether "overrated" fits the bill. I certainly know it's popular. Thus far I'm enjoying it and I can see why it has fans.

I can see why it has fans.
I can't. Until they add zombies. Metal Gear has always been lacking without zombies.

*ahem*

Gray Fox would like to have a word with you.

So would Vamp and Big Boss.

You mean 3 fictional video game characters. That don't exist?

You're no fun at all.
