"We need to pass the torch. And let our children read our sad and messy history by its light." #MGS2

We'll talk a bit more at length in my media thread post tomorrow but: #MGS2. It's still really good!

"No one quite knows who or what they are. There's no such thing in the world as absolute reality. Most of what they call real is actually fiction. ...We can tell other people about having faith. What we had faith in. ....whatever you choose will be *you.*" People don't appreciate this bit. #MGS2

"Our beloved monsters....enjoy yourselves...." #MGS2

Solidus really waiting patiently while Raiden stands slackjawed and argues with the voices in his head for literally 10+ minutes lol #MGS2

"We're not the ones smothering the world. You are.

A single person has the potential to ruin the world." Good villain shit. #MGS2

The Patriots' scorn for the masses' ability to generate meaningless, junk data and narratives to fester and tumble remains *extremely* cutting lol #MGS2

"Campbell's" codec flickering in and out with a skull is a cheap trick but a very good one #MGS2

"Do you know what day it is today?!?" "....April...30th...?" *everybody cheers* #MGS2

*quietly editing out the parts where a giant vehicle ploughs through manhattan in a game released months after 9/11* #MGS2

"Why do you think I chose Ocelot as my host?!?" How *did* you do that, Liquid? Did you make him decide to use your arm?!?! #MGS2

Ocelot shooting Fortune IS very well shot and directed tho #MGS2

We're all in agreement that Fortune is the lamest part of #MGS2 right?

Olga why didn't you bring your ninja suit anyway #MGS2

Don't worry Raiden, one day 25 Rays will be a Tuesday for you. #MGS2

Always love Raiden climbing a ladder in Arsenal Gear and just emerging into The Void #MGS2

I like to imagine that Fission Mailed is Raiden's nanomachines - still hooked up to the broke-ass Patriot AI - giving him a shock and making him *feel* like he's dying. #MGS2

Everyone jokes about the Snake voice, and they're right to do it, but don't ever lose sight of the fact that Hayter's Snake is also compltely unironically one of the GOAT video game acting performances. #MGS2
