Liquid Snake is a character in Metal Gear Solid. He's Solid Snake's twin brother and one of the antagonists in the series.

And both are clones of big boss?

[–] cobysev@lemmy.world 55 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Spoiler, but yes.

Granted, my answer was kind of spoilery too.

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 33 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Well at least they're all fully clothed

[–] cobysev@lemmy.world 35 points 1 week ago (2 children)

*Naked Snake enters the chat*

[–] P1k1e@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

Partially clothed

I thought one of them needed to breath through her skin or something and that's why she didn't wear pants?

Maybe I should play some of these games.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No that's Silent and her condition is very SERIOUS and is a LORE REFERENCE

[–] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It's beyond hilarious that the game tried to justify it as being due to the same photosynthesis enhancement that The End had in MGS3. Imagine that saggy old man running around dressed like Quiet.

Tap for spoilerYeah, I know it's because the real Snake lit her on fire during the tutorial so her lungs are fucked and the photosynthesis has to do the lion's share of respiration, but that's such an obvious excuse to justify having a nearly naked supermodel as a companion. Especially since he lit her on fire yet her skin is somehow completely unscathed.

Yes, but what about Snake Plissken? Escape from New York (1981) is such a good action movie, and the literal inspiration for Solid Snake (1987, from the NES game "Metal Gear").

I still can't believe Hideo Kojima has been making games as long as I have been alive. That's just nuts!

[–] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

Solid Snake even uses Plisken as an alias in MGS2.

[–] Frostbeard@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Yes, yes he is nuts. point at games he has made

Kojima popped around the corner and said boo

Metal Gear is a stupid name for an ultimate weapon

[–] Luisp@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 week ago

Metal gear? uh?

[–] mfed1122@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 week ago

I think it pretty accurately hits the vibe of government secret projects in that it simultaneously sounds harmless and a little silly, while also being vague and unusual enough to have a certain foreboding to it. E.g "the gadget"

[–] gAlienLifeform@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

It's shit like this one minute and then bawling your eyes out over Sniper Wolf talking growing up as an orphan during the second Iraqi-Kurdish war the next

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We've lost the signal, sir.

Wooden Gear!?

Sane Mantis?

Nearsighted wolf

[–] Pipea@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

...and that probably led to a three hour rant about who Liquid Snake is and why he's important to the absolutely insane plot if that series.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

but nobody ever asks about semi-solid snake...
