oh man oh man. i am a giant metal gear solid freak. its the reason i bought a ps2. its a reason i own a ps3. its basically the reason i am into video games today. below is a running time line of my history with the metal gear solid franchise, 10 years in the making.
side note, if you have these game consoles, you owe it yourself to play these games. you can get all 3 currrent games for $29 .
metal gear solid released on the psone - october 21, 1998
- october 24-31 - i overthrow liquid snake and destroy metal gear rex (i love shooting stinger missles by the way). i receive the bandana.
- november 7-8 - i play through metal gear solid once again with the bandana. i receive the sneaking suit
- november 14-15 i play through metal gear solid once again with the sneaking suit. i receive the tuxedo. what good is a tuxedo in a tactical espionage game!? screw that. no more play throughs.
metal gear solid 2: sons of liberty released on ps2 - november 14, 2001
- im at cal. cannot play due to finals. get home for winter break and lock myself in my room with my ps2 for 2 weeks to beat the game. take that vamp! very disappointed that i have to play the 2/3 of the game as raiden. still enjoy it enough to play through it twice.
metal gear solid 3: snake eater released on ps2 - november 17, 2004
- no longer at cal, beat the game in 2 weeks. during the middle of the second play through, decided (correctly?) that having a job was probably more important.
so thats six and a half playthroughs. six and a half times at approximately 20 hours each is… a lot of hours, and a lot of good times.
now on the predicting the future (just call me nostradamus)…
metal gear solid 4: guns of the patriots will be released on ps3 - june 12, 2008
- june 12 - ???. ps3? check. dualshock3 controller? currently being shipped. htdv? check. couch? check. pizza? will be ordered. okay all systems go. the lady must be thrilled.
in honor of this momentous occasion, and to the end of a great era in gaming (mgs4 is rumored to be the last of the “solid” titles), i bring you: box - hide here. those of you familiar with mgs will instantly appreciate a good hiding box. side note - the shipping label on the box reads, “ship to: angry ninja.” just a little personal touch.
ps. people seem to be loving this shirt. its currently my best-seller.
side note on the zazzle store. some of you may not know this, but i leave all of my shirts fully customizable on the store. this means that you can take one of my designs, put it on a mens/womens/kids shirt dark or light, and change all of the text. you can even choose the shirt material, 100% cotton, vintage shirt, heavy duty, etc. the shirts that i have predesigned on the webstore are just a simple guide to what the shirts could look like.
