About fuckin' time...!

Spoiler:

Hell yessir! Quoted for absolute and undeniable truth.

Spoiler:

But still no MGS theme?!? Are you fucking kidding me?

Ah, what the hell...It's definitely a good time to be an MGS fan!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

But if this had made any kind of ruckus, wouldn't we have heard about it?

Exactly! Study of literature calls this post-modernism, meaning: Hey, when there's nothing new anymore, we can still indulge in intermedia references!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Harry Gregson-Williams did NOT compose the Metal Gear Solid theme, TAPPY did (if he "borrowed" from the Russian composer is a different animal). Do your homework, pal.

Also, it is pretty funny how you defend your precious anime by accusing the MGS fans of doing the same while, y'know, GITS' (which I love BTW) story, just for example, did not appear out of thin air (*cough*Blade Runner*cough*)

Alos, I don't think the MGS series won't go down in the history books for MGS2's opening sequence (which by itself is more of a reference to the Terminator trilogy), but for stuff like the fight against Psycho Mantis. And, hell, it's not that the MGS series doesn't know its roots: does the name OTACON and his ramblings about how much he likes animes and mechas and such ring a bell?!?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Quoted for goddamn truth! The fact that I am not exaggerating when I state that Liquid sounded like Kermit the Frog is a powerful testament to its awfulness.

Personally, I think that Otacon's VA is very good at the "explaining stuff" thing but his "grief" dialogue near the end of MGS2 made me cringe.

About the "only local voicetracks" thing...for me, it just means that there is a whole Bluray packed to the top with MGS goodness waiting!

I was speaking idiomatically.
