18 Things Only Metal Gear Solid Fans Will Understand

3. "Nanomachines, Son!"

Have you been looking for the solution to all of life's problems? Well, Metal Gear has that for you, and it's nanomachines. Used in both Revengeance and MGS4 as a means of explaining the increasingly complicated and odd aspects of how bosses were able to function, and how Snake has been able to continue being a super soldier, even in his advanced age. It's also why such an esteemed congressman like Senator Armstrong is able to maintain his position in government, as well as having super strength and having armoured skin to become somewhat invincible. No one fully understands these nanomachines, and I don't think we have to. All that needs to be known is 'nanomachines, son', it's the perfect response and the only explanation fans will ever need.
