There is nothing more pathetic than an anglo guy trying to sound wise while listing Chinese Proverbs (least I always thought he was Anglo. That Otaku comment threw me)

No matter how well a guy can ignore pain, he'll never ignotre the pain of a doubleberry twist.

A female solider is still a female, and will shoot you in the face if you grab her innapropriately, circumstances be damned.

There is no weapon on earth that looks cooler than a rail gun.

Its somehow okay to give people nicknames based on their appearance and sexuality, despite everything we've learned about acceptance of others (Honestly, Fatman and Vamp? Even Fortune called them that, why did they put up with it?)

There was a point in the 60's that Bioelectricity was so commonplace, it didn't require any explanation or attract any attention.

The Ocelot pose makes you look like a douchebag, no matter who you are.

There is no greater feeling than sneaking past a crowd of heavily armed Marines.

Trying to skip a generation of consoles and then attack your opponent again will leave you beaten and destroyed

Please refrain from saying things like "Fanboys will support crap if its on their favourite system" or anything else that denotes a hatred of the series.

No matter how bad ass you are, you're never too bad ass to be gay.

-OR-

No matter how gay you are, you're never too gay to be bad ass.

Cardboard boxes, no matter how oddly placed, are the perfect concealment devices.

You cannot crouch and walk until you are really old.

If you are using a High-Cap mag with an M16, since it "looks like an infinity symbol" from the front, then that means it has infinite ammo.

No matter how many times you get shot when running around (playing). It only takes one bullet when in a serious disscussion. (Cutscene)

Shooting troubled women cures them of mental illness.

EDIT: (if you tranq or stun the B&B ladies into submission without killing them (get them to 0 psyche) you can put them to sleep and get an ipod tune or facecamo, some of the tunes do really cool things as well)

Shooting may not, but death sure will.
No, its just the facecamo.

Since when are Vamp, Raikov and Volgin Badass?

Women will say anything when they are under fire, including asking a guy they thought was a complete dork 30 seconds ago to marry them.

If you put off fighting someone for a long time they will eventually die of old age

You get the face camo for defeating the beauty with non lethal means, you get a little figurine for defeating the beast with non lethal means. Collect all 5 of these figurines, (from the first FROG fight and all the B&B fights) and you'll unlock the Solar gun. Not sure about the iPod tunes though.

That some games are even better after a second play through.

That everything that's unexplainable is explainable with nano-machines.

That ninjas are awesome.

That nothing is as it seems.

That if your story is convoluted enough, you can cause esteemed game critics to quote Gwen Stefani.

That everyone in the military suffers from a combination of ADD and Short-term Memory loss.

"HOLY SHIT! Someone's blown a hole in the wall! Sound every alarm we can!"
~~~~~~~~~~~1 minute later~~~~~~~~~~
"Nobody here. Guess it was just nothing."

and

"We have an intruder in the base... ooh, a book!"

Not just any book - PORN! I think thats the crucial part.

And i always figured they thought Snake had escaped to another part, and went after him.

That whistling can be a secret message or locating tool

(still trying to find out the song that they whistle)

What else has MGS taught us?

> That even a limp-wristed faggot can become awesome when given a Katana. Oh, and when his body is replaced by a mechanical replacement and his brain is programmed with Ninja awesomeness.

> No matter who you are, or what you are doing, there is ALWAYS a time and a place for panty-shots.

> Real men fish with Grenades.

> Old Snake's muscle suit gives him a sexy ass.

> iPods are standard equip for Stealth missions in the near future.

> Your radar can operate inside an underground bunker two floors below the surface, but it gets jammed by people shouting.

> That it is sick and cruel to shoot someone in both knees, causing them to plummet off a catwalk into a sediment pool, or the ocean, or down a bottomless pit... but that doesn't stop it being fun.

> Psycho Mantis is surprisingly well named, and not because he's a Psychic. Or a Mantis.

> Wheelchair wheels are astonishingly accurate. And painful.

> Tsuchinoko taste amazing.

You can get shot to bits by a rocket launcher and survive.
You can come back and give your killer a 10 second headstart and then managed to kill you using a lighter and spraycan, incinerating you to death.

After that, you can come back fully alive after being a vegetated state for the past.. 10 years or so using body parts from clones of yourself.

Also, everything is controlled BY ZEE PATRIOTS!
It's just that we don't know about it.

Placing a book of porn in someone's path causes them to run up to it, squat, and shake their head and start convlusing because dopamine is just overflowing in their brain.

There is no fourth wall, the world is a game.

People can control bees, be spider-like, be 'vampires', and control electrical currents through their will, yet no one seems to notice anything odd about these abilites.

Your main character can be a legendary solider who has done the same exact mission twice before, yet he still needs to called and told how to crawl into a vent or climb a ladder.

Someone will warn you about claymore mines either after you've already stepped on one, or right when you will step on one once the warning call has ended.

Enemy soliders can hear NV googles/solid eye ifrom a distance of ten metres (about 30 ft) in the middle of the jungle with bushes, animals and rivers as ambient noise.

There is never a bad time to hit on the lead female character.

No matter how badass (Snake) or flower-ass (Raiden) your main character is, they will be painfully oblivious to some fairly obvious plot points and are quite shocked when they are the olny ones who didn't know.

Highly trained, genetically manipulated soliders have exceptional hearing and vision, but only if you are within their blue-cone-of-sight.

Somewhere, someone if always watching...
