  Hey, y&apos;all!! Thanks for the feedback on this video. This was one of my favs to make and I wanna keep doing this series. I do wanna address a few things as well: <br> <br>CORRECTIONS/ELABORATIONS: <br> <br>-I said in the video that Kojima worked on Metal Gear Solid until he was &quot;forced not to.&quot; A lot of people are saying this is inaccurate as it&apos;s more like he was forced to work on Metal Gear Solid constantly, even though he didn&apos;t want to, until he was kicked out of the company. This isn&apos;t really a &quot;mistake&quot; as I am 100% aware of that and was planning on (potentially) bringing that up in later MGS videos. Basically, I never said that he <b>wanted</b> to only work on Metal Gear, I just said that he did. The point was that I wanted to show how impressive it was that Kojima made an auteur-level name for himself while only having one franchise under his belt. <br> <br>-&quot;Deep Throat&quot; was historically the name of a real life 70&apos;s secret informant who leaked information, leading to the Watergate scandal. I can&apos;t believe I missed that and didn&apos;t know that until now. I guess I didn&apos;t pay attention in history class LOL. Now I know what Kojima meant by that!!<br><br>-&quot;Aren&apos;t MG1 and 2 canon?&quot; I could be wrong on this since it&apos;s been a hot minute since I played them, but from what I remember specifically, Big Boss does NOT reveal to Snake that he&apos;s his father, which is a crucial point to MGS1 and the entire series. That&apos;s what I was primarily talking about. I could be wrong on that, though, since it&apos;s been a while.<br><br>-&quot;What is that 🔥🔥🔥 FIRE 🔥🔥🔥 Metal Gear beat at the beginning?!??&quot; Oh, that was made by me :)<br><br>There are probably plenty of other things I got wrong. I&apos;m just one guy making most of these videos, after all. This video took WAY too long to make!! I actually had to cut an entire segment about ports and The Twin Snakes out, AND I forgot to include a part about the alternate ending! GRAAAHH!!<br><br>But either way, thanks so much! This is one of the few positive reviews I made that&apos;s actually doing quite well, which makes me so, so, SOOO happy. You guys are fucking awesome!! I got a few other videos to do first, but an MGS2 video is on the way!!

  Raiden, disregard what I just told you. The most important thing for you to do now is enjoy a mouth watering Egg McMuffin sandwich from the new All Day Breakfast Menu at McDonald&apos;s. All of your favorite McDonald&apos;s breakfast items now available all day at participating McDonald&apos;s restaurants. And Raiden, always remember... I&apos;m Lovin&apos; It.

  “There are no heroes in war. The only heroes I know are either dead or in prison.”<br><br>When a game makes you question if it’s wrong to kill the enemy, it’s definitely doing something right.

  The original metal gear games didn’t get retconned, in fact solid 3 peacewalker and 5 are made to give context to the final boss for both canon games

  It revealed to everyone how the M1911 is the greatest handgun since the Colt SAA. First of all, the feeding ramp is polished to a mirror sheen. It’s not going to have any feeding problems. The slide’s been replaced with a reinforced version, and it meshes perfectly with the frame. The frame itself has been iron-welded and scraped down multiple times for maximum precision. The front strap part of the frame has been checkered to make it dig into the hand. That prevents any slipping. The sight system’s original too. It’s a 3-dot type. It’s got an enlarged front sight, giving it superior target sighting capability. The regular hammer’s been replaced with a ring hammer. That enhances the cocking control and increases the hammer-down speed. They also reworked the grip safety to accommodate the ring hammer. It looks like they eliminated it altogether. This is a tool for pros. The thumb safety and slide stop are extended for precise handling. The base of the trigger guard is whittled down so you can use a high grip, and the trigger itself is a long type for easy finger access. The trigger pull is about 3.5 pounds. that’s about a pound and a half lighter than normal. The magazine well has been widened to make it easier to put in a new magazine. The magazine catch button has been filed down low to make it harder to hit it by mistake. The mainspring housing has been changed to a flat type to increase grip, and it’s even been fitted with stepping so that it won’t slip from the recoil when firing. On top of that, they added cocking serrations to the top part of the slide. That lets you load and eject cartridges faster in an emergency. Whoever did this is a professional, no question. This thing could shoot a one-hole at 25 yards in a machine rest.

  Much like Hidetaka Miyazaki, Kojima made a franchise and started a genre that will never be forgotten.They also both found a way to make their fetishes important to the game. Absolute legends.
