"Metal Gear Solid by Hideo Kojima, or as he's known around my crib, God."

Damn straight Justin! I know trailers make everything look good but I have
as much confidence in Mr. Kojima as I do in P.T. Anderson.

I don't play a whole lot of video games but Metal Gear Solid definitely
tops my list as one of the best video gaming experiences I've had. I
remember staring at the jewel case for the game in total frustration and
confusion when Meryl tells me her CODEC frequency is on the box. I thought
some game developer lazily left it out of the game when I found it
precisely where she said it was, on the fucking box! I remember being
creeped out by Psycho Mantis "reading my mind" and happy to thwart his
efforts by plugging the controller in the Player 2 port.

Anyway, apologies for geeking-out here but I'm stoked for this next game.

Finished GR btw, totally confusing, and just ordered "GR: Domination &
Freedom" based on a top-notch Amazon customer review, hopefully that'll
help me digest it.
