20 Mind-Blowing Gaming Facts You Probably Never Knew

15. Play Metal Gear Solid With A Mono TV And You'll Have A Bad Time

Metal Gear Solid1KonamiThe Metal Gear Solid franchise is full of brilliant, often hilarious easter eggs, and one of the best is one that practically nobody talks about. If the player changes the game's sound from stereo to mono and calls Colonel Campbell twice just as Snake prepares to battle Liquid's Hind D helicopter, it will trigger an amusing conversation as Campbell explains that the player should be able to tell where the Hind is by the sound of the chopper's rotor blades. Campbell then realises you're using mono and declares, "Huh? Snake, you're not using a stereo TV!?", and Mei Ling interjects to declare, "It can't be!" After Naomi also confers with the pair, Colonel concludes with the hilariously patronising remark, "There's more to being a good person than just having a stereo television. You can do it just the way you are!" Surreal little touches like this are what makes the MGS franchise what it is, and without them, it just wouldn't be a Hideo Kojima game...
