19 Things We Learned From The Metal Gear Solid Series

14. Anyone With The Codename Snake Will Be Hit On Within Minutes

It takes him what, like 10 minutes in the first Metal Gear to have both Mei Ling and Naomi trading innuendos and flirtations back and forth like a few high school kids? Even after hearing Snake say he didn't expect Mei Ling to "be so...cute", Naomi dives straight in after Snake mentions strip-searching, mentioning that she may let him perform one on her. It's not like there's a nuclear strike that needs averting or anything right?

13. A Cardboard Box Is A Man's Best Friend

"A cardboard box? Why are you...?" "I dunno. I was just looking at it, and suddenly I got this irresistible urge to get inside. No not just an urge - more than that. It was my destiny to be here; in the box."

Yes, one of the things about Metal Gear's illustrious reputation is the now-infamous cardboard box. Used as a infiltration device in everything from the first 3D Metal Gear to the awful Game Boy spin-off Ghost Babel, you know you're playing a Metal Gear game, or something directly inspired, if you can dive inside a cardboard box for a bit of respite from gunfire.
