Metal Gear Solid: 50 Weird Revelations You Weren't Expecting

47. Snake Can Carry Hundreds Of Weapons

MGSa This is pretty much characteristic of most shooters; players like guns, so the game lets them carry basically anything and everything they can find. However, Solid Snake wears a skin-tight sneaking suit so he can slink around unnoticed - it's hard to be inconspicuous (or even walk) with three different rocket launchers on your back.

46. Volgin Is Gay...With "Raiden" (MGS3)

MGS3a It's already weird enough that a macho, death-obsessed Russian mercenary in the 1960s is openly gay, but the real weirdness kicks in when the player realizes his partner is in fact, Raiden. Well, not Raiden exactly, but the guy (named Raikov Raidenovich) is basically a blatant reference to Raiden's reception as a rather effeminate protagonist in the previous game. Also, Raikov looks exactly like Raiden, so you'd have to be a serious dunce not to get it.

45. Snake Isn't Bothered By The Supernatural

mgs Snake runs into a lot of weird things during his exploits. Some of the stranger encounters involve a levitating, ghostly mind reader, a walk down a river of the dead, and watching a sexy lady vomit up black ink after he shoots her in the face. Curiously, after each of these events, Snake doesn't even bat an eyelid, and presses on towards his next goal. The man is unflappable.
