Virtual console seems to ease my collecting habbit a bit.

You can have my licence when you pry it from my cold dead hands...   

Perhaps I should have made my allusions a bit more concise. 

MGS = AWESOME. So is the T-shirt.
MGS2 = Raiden is whiney and needs a haircut.  Detracts from the otherwise wonderful game.
MGS3 = Motorcycle riding whore steals your stuff at the end of this epic instant classic.  I would have put a bullet in her head under the waterfall.  Man, the title song is catchy...

MGS:TS = Takes the gameplay aspects of MGS2/3 and perfectly marries them to Metal Gear Solid.  ABSO-FREAKING-LUTELY Fantastic game.  No Whiney Raiden, no Chinese double agent Bogarting my stuff, just some awesome gameplay.  I'm not calling anybody one, but if Fanboy-ism is preventing you from playing this game because it's on the Gamepube, then you betta check yo' self because Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes is, in my opinion, a must play.  It no way replaces the original, but I believe it wonderfully captures the gameplay essence of the series.

Fanboyism for Sony isn't keeping me from playing TS, I LOVE MY GAMECUBE!  I hate all Sony systems except for PS1 anyway.

Fanboyism for Konami, the fact that I am an MG purist (I like nothing past the first MGS) and the fact that I DESPISE SILICON KNIGHTS is what's keeping me from playing it.

I'm a gaming patriot, not a loyalist.  Despite certain gaming politics, MGS:TS was a welcome surprise.  No man should have an ism, especially if it's fanboy-ism.  I think I'll make that my sig!!!
