...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.

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"

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

Spoiler, but yes.

Granted, my answer was kind of spoilery too.

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.

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.

::: spoiler Tap for spoiler Yeah, 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!
