25. I'm amazed by how fast that's caught on. It is a great phrase, though.
31. All right. Let's all think about this together, now.
Situation A: A game's creator makes a trailer for purportedly the last game in the series that shows the beloved main character, tired and terribly aged, putting a gun in his mouth, to the accompaniment of haunting music and a voiceover about his "final mission."
Situation b: Hideo Kojima makes a trailer for purportedly the last game in the series that shows the beloved main character, tired and terribly aged, putting a gun in his mouth to the accompaniment of haunting music and voiceover about his "final mission."
This is the guy who has said straightout in interviews that he hates giving away anything, but you have to have something to show, so he deliberately makes the trailers as misleading as possible.
Personally, I think that's great, since I hate having the plot revealed until I get to experience it firsthand. I wish more people would do it. It would drive people crazy, and be hilarious.
Anyway, just remember the series we're dealing with. Considering the above, Snake ending up dead is actually less likely than him regenerating, or living on through somebody's spleen or turning into a cyborg or something. So cheer up!
42. I don't know if it's just that I'm tired, but something about 'I love men, but they're not attractive when they're not wearing pants' strikes me as hilarious.
47. It seems strange that sports fans and geeks are not natural allies. They're both primarily about caring about something that isn't exactly real life.
53. So, anybody else find these secrets directed to a specific 'you' kind of annoying? This one at least is pretty general, and not, "When I told you 'purple monkey dishwasher,' I REALLY MEANT 'evaporate soylent hand grenade' . But still.
(Protip: if, when the entire point is that no one knows who the writer and the addressee are, it only makes a lick of sense to one or the other, you're doing it wrong.)

56. Aww. That's kind of sweet.
