[magazine scans] Tactical Espionage: Metal Gear Trivia

The latest issue of Playstation: The Official Magazine (July '08, issue 008) featured, as expected, a multiple-page review for Metal Gear Solid 4 (which I haven't read yet, so you don't have to worry about me accidentally revealing any spoilers--if there were any at all in it, that is), and also a 51 question quiz over Metal Gear series trivia (MGS4 not included) that I thought was kinda fun.

Ahahaha, Snake with an American flag on his face. That is so wickedly lame it's awesome 8D

I'm torn on whether or not I want MSG4. Namely, I need to play the second and third games. I only ever played the first (but I loved it) and I just recently picked up the boxset so I could become reacquainted with the games. But my biggest problem with MSG4?

Snake is old and NOT HOT.

I believe your definition of 'hot' may be unnecessarily strict.

Well, let me be fair. Old Snake really looks creepily like what my uncle will look like when he's that age, and it gives me the willies.

I haven't finished MGS3 yet (since I'm currently playing through all the Silent Hill games), but I really, really want to get MGS4...the only problem is that I don't own a PS3 yet. XD I've been trying to convince my brother to do the reciprocal twin thing and buy me one since I bought him an XBox 360 a couple of years ago and he owes me a big gift, but so far he has resisted my charms. XDD

And Old Snake definitely grows on you. When images/videos/whatever were first shown of the game I was kinda disappointed since I, um, don't really like mustaches (WHAT SHALLOW REASONING I HAVE), but now I think Snake looks so incredibly bad ass and attractive in an aging Harrison Ford kind of way (except that Harrison doesn't have the math teacher mustache).

29. Metal Gear 2 is set how many years after Metal Gear Solid?

........sigh.

Okay, I got two of those wrong, disregarding trick questions and ones which made no sense (AKA, the following:)

12 - NO-ONE USED STEALTH CAMO IN MG2
42 - Trick question. Virtuous Mission is the name of ONE of his missions in that game. Going by sheer volume the answer should be D - Operation Snake Eater
46 - Wounds could also be cured by saving and turning the game off for a while. They could also be cured by waiting in-game. So, technically, False.

Accepting annoying trick questions, I got 45 - Solid Snake. Although they should really realise that the kind of person who'd get a really high score wouldn't appreciate the subtle Raiden and Otacon bashing.

Okay, I stand corrected. A character did use stealth camo in MG2, but it wasn't anyone on that list, it was Night Sight/Night Fright.
