So itako , Matthew, Claire and I were invited by these Japanese students from an English Club to go on an "Akihabara Tour" with an interview for their article of sorts. I ended up buying a Kurapika and Leorio cellphone strap (that I now hang lovingly on my wall, because they are meant to be) and going to all these different places with anime goods. Dined in a maid cafe called "Cure Cafe" (whatever that means) which had this crazy Evangelion theme going on. The maids wore those weird clips Asuka and Rei wear, they sold Eva merchandise, and Zankoku na Tenshi no You Ni played over and over again. That, and posters of Rei being naked everywhere. When is she not naked? Anyway, if it wasn't for the epic rain I would have hung out more, but alas, had to go back home because I felt really sick. I did learn a LOT of things. One of the girls (named Tomomi) was a big Hagaren fan, and a fujoshi. Jacinda, Tomomi and I would sometimes giggle in a corner, talking about pairings and stuff. I realize I am still quite in the closet, which is sad.

Anyway, our lesson for the day starts with a conversation about MOTHERFUCKING METAL GEAR SOLID, YO! I started talking about Metal Gear Solid to Takuya, who was also a big fan. Ended up raving about it. (following conversation in Japanese:)

Takuya: Who do you like in Metal Gear Solid?
Me: SOLID SNAKE. AND OTACON.
Takuya: Ooh, Otacon! Shibui!
Me: Huh?

Takuya and Tomomi then tried to explain to Jacinda and I what Shibui means. Apparently it's one of those very cultural expressions, they had a hard time explaining it, but here's a list of what they could mean:

SHIBUI
- Something that is simple, maybe flawed, yet beautiful.
- If you have refined taste
- If your tastes lean towards something a bit older <-- JACKPOT
- and many others

So yeah, I would call myself "shibui" in a sense that I like older people (THAT EXPRESSION WILL BE PUT TO GOOD USE), but apparently Takuya meant that I had refined taste. Which...I wouldn't exactly associate with liking a Metal Gear Solid character who's ripped, and another one who pisses in his pants. It could also mean that Otacon is simple, flawed, yet elegant. Wat

Takuya: What about Raiden? (obviously, he likes him. I think only Japanese people have boners for Raiden, America thinks he's too fruity)
Me: Too young.
Takuya: What about Ocelot?
Me: Too old!!! *lol*

And then while going home, Tomomi and I were chatting about our favourite pairings. I tried to use my broken japanese meep.
Tomomi: My type of BL pairing are the adults!
Me: ME TOO ME TOO
Tomomi: For example I like Kakashi/Iruka, and in Full Metal Alchemist, I like Roy/Hughes!
Me: How about Hunter x Hunter?
Tomomi: Ooh, I like Leorio...
Me: ME TOO OMG --
Tomomi: ...with Hisoka!
Me: wat

Contrary to popular belief, Japan is not all about mecha, samurai, ninjas, and lolis. It's not all about anime.

However, that does not stop me from buying random shiz, for myself and for other people. I swear to god, BOOK-OFF will be the death of me. They sell manga for only 105 yen, and the Book-off near our uni has an entire huge basement dedicated to books written in English. They even have cheap art books asdfghjkl; Most people spend on food, others spend on shopping. I splurge on books.

Everything is expensive in Tokyo, but if you convert anime merchandise and books in peso and then compare them to prices back at home then they're really cheap. Plus they have anime merchandise of ANYTHING. I have yet to see the used panties vending machine (and I don't really want to, anyway), but they do sell cookies featuring anime characters, and life-sized pillows with underwear-clad girls printed on them. Lol Japan.


Escaflowne and Utena artbooks, my new loves

( Haul of the month...Kakairu, Metal Gear Solid, HxH, etc. )

So I watched Watchmen with Klaine, Ozy/Pchan, Mikko, Earle, Lowell, Ryne, Drea, and my sister. I can't make a coherent review somehow, so here it is in list format:

1. SSSLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTION
2. "Zack Snyder's iPod is in shuffle, lol." - kotomine
3. I was quite torn, actually. Part of me says "FUCK YEAH!", the other part shouts "BLASPHEMY!" and well most parts of me just want to yell "BIG, BLUE PENIS!" (refer to icon.)
4. The film was really, really faithful to the novel, but they made some distinct changes. I have no complaints when it comes to the script -- I deem that those changes were necessary, and they also made more sense. My problem would have to be the execution, I guess. Some acting was wooden and there were awkward transitions, but I can probably blame some of those to the cuts made here in the Philippines. Hax.
5. Haha, I knew they would remove Laurie's nagging bitch tendencies. She's actually a likable character in the movie.
6. Extended violence lol.
7. HAHA I went in the movie house expecting to say "Rorschach is so cool!" like a fanboy but instead I wanted to hug him the whole time. It's like "Awww, Rorschach chopped a man's head. Sho cute! *insert cooing noises here*" I wanted to pinch his cheeks, tuck him to bed, and read him a bed time story. Especially when he is bathed in blood. He's like a muscular chibi! I can't believe I'd describe Rorschach as adorable but he really was. :3
8. Watch my Man: A Nite Owl x Rorschach FST featuring the songs "That's what Friends are For", "Accidentally in Love" and many more!
9. The opening sequence for me was the best. To the tune of Bob Dylan's "The Times they are A-changing" *fangasm* Snyder established the Watchmen world, a what-if where superheroes were the norm, Nixon was the president, and the Vietnam was just a cinch. Not to mention all these pop culture references! I really enjoyed that part, it looked so oldschool. :3

MILK.

Academy Award nominee Gus Van Sant directs Academy Award winner Sean Penn as gay-rights icon Harvey Milk. Mr. Milk (1930-1978) was an activist and politician, and the first openly gay man to be elected to public office in America; in 1977, he was voted to the city supervisors' board of San Francisco.

Before I tackle the film's complexities, its role in our present day issues and the whole impact of Milk...I just have to say that when I saw the first kissing scene, and the next, and the next, the only thought I had was...

God, that's a LOT of straight people making out.

Hot.

( You gotta give them hope. | I want James Franco to be my boy toy. Oh and hi there Speed Racer dude and Ryan Evans! | Screencaps under the cut, may not be worksafe )

We all know Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart. In fact, everyone is always willing to sing "turn around, bright eyes" while someone else sings Bonnie Tyler's lines. We hear it everywhere, we sing it in the karaoke. But what we mostly don't know is that it has a music video.

Oh, I remember it. Vaguely. I think my brain chose to forget about it though. It's like...a collection of the random things you see on the internet, mostly the ones involving gay porn. By the end of the video I was laughing so hard I think my innards have burst. Meep?

This video features:

Highly Erotic Symbolic Images
Schoolboys who randomly lose their clothing and dance/spread their legs, revealing tight leather underwear
Football players with revealing stomachs
Bright Eyes...as in LITERALLY
A levitating choir boy
Gold glitter
NINJAS
...and Bonnie Tyler as a shining transvestite

I'm sure this video has a meaning. IN OUTER SPACE

A huge part of me has died and I will never be the same again. Watch it. You won't remain unscathed.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAH I'LL JUST LEAVE THIS HERE.

...if you've truly played the original Final Fantasy VII series then you'll know the "Date" portion in Gold Saucer. In our first game Cloud dated Tifa because we simply loved her, but we tried dating everyone else for kicks. The date with Yuffie was sweet. When Cloud dated Barret however, we felt strangely ill.

BUT ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT WHEN I SAW THIS PICTURE WAS THAT "SWEET JESUS DAMN THIS IS WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN. BARRET IS FUCKING HOT. Also, Cloud looks good in tight purple. Vincent is chillin', probably preparing for his quality roommate time with Cid Highwind (again, if you've played the game, you'll know what I'm talking about).I can't believe what GayRoughNecks.Com has done to me

PHEW! I finally finished them! Apologies for the general crappiness, and that most of them aren't coloured. I do hope you will like it, anyway. >_<

minnow_53, amaterasu08 and liquidskin08 : Geek Boy Christmas Special!

Plus a very special offering to the ame_pubcom members (and a few surprise appearances!) ♥



All Christmas art gifts (with commentary) can be found here! Very image-heavy!

Anyway, even if the art gifts are for specific people, I still dedicate them to everyone in my f-list. With that said, I wish you all a happy holiday! I love you! ♥

Gerry Alanguilan (famed comic book writer and artist, overall really cool guy in general) wrote a wonderful entry about his vehement stance against Proposition 8.

Discussions, academic or no, appeared. Mostly straight men had their say.

One comment caught my eye:

"I support gay marriage because I want to see two girls kissing. :P"

And bunch of other faithless hacks commented with equally irritating comments about their boners for lesbian sex. And while I'm sure the speaker was just kidding, it still reflected a lot of ideas men have about lesbians. These things really annoy me and hurt me in a way that's hard to explain. Sometimes I feel the undying urge to just give a huge "fuck you" to the world. Sometimes when people learn I lean that way they say "Sayang" (That's too bad) and I'm like, What is your problem?

Katy Perry is so not fucking helping. I used to like her a lot. Now I think she's just another Russian lesbian hoax. She doesn't even sing well, live.

But what if I'm biased? I unabashedly enjoy gay porn. I make gay jokes with my straight male friends, and they're wonderful enough to just go with the show. I, admittedly, also like looking at two hot women in a steamy situation. But it ends there. It's a kink, definitely, but it isn't my overall outlook on gay or lesbian relationships.

What I'm trying to say is: IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT PORN. I know I talk about porn a lot (it's top one in Mushroom's Everyday Vocabulary) and that's the biggest understatement of a lifetime, but behind these relationships are everyday struggles -- the need to be wanted, to be loved, to be accepted. The pain and fear is real. It's so hard to love, and with everyone going against you, what about the other things? Don't be deluded by the sheer amount of gay porn in the internet -- some people say they are so sick of yaoi and yuri because it's everywhere, but the internet provides anonymity. We are ALL closet cases. Most of us can't even speak up because evidently, it is still taboo. That includes me, as well.

And if you are aware of these things, and you stand by these principles and you are trying to make it change your life and others, then I salute you. You don't have to be immediately out and proud. But do it by informing other people. It can be a slow process. Things can be better. Keep these things in mind, whatever you do, whatever orientation or kink or desire you have.

Now let's just enjoy our damn porn in peace.

Er, I know I promised some Geek boy comic strips this weekend but I was too busy with Ricky Lee's book launch and my toothache is preventing me from churning up something imaginative. ;m; Sorry.

Lots of love to giethe for the link! Fumi Yoshinaga's popular "shoujo" *snort* manga Antique Bakery now has a Korean movie adaptation starring Joo Ji Hoon (Goong/Princess Hours and The Devil) as the owner Jin Hyuk and Kim Jae Wok (Coffee Prince) as the genius patissier Son Woo. It features DELICIOUS CAKE! GAY GUYS GYRATING! KISSING INVOLVING SOME HOT CAUCASIAN DUDE! MANLIEST MANCAKES THAT EVER MANBAKED! ETC! EXCLAMATION POINTS!

I think I creamed my shorts while viewing the trailer. neiarc said it best: "WE MUST WATCH THIS." Now we have this movie and the upcoming movie about Harvey Milk, politican and gay rights advocate. It's a good month to be gay!

...Or not. Across America, gay advocates protest marriage ban. It fills my heart with such sweetness and warmth whenever I see the featured gay couples and their lovely children. How can anyone deny them their right to happiness? Keith Olbermann from MSNBC has a moving and compelling commentary about the hatred that is Proposition 8, and I actually cried while watching him speak. And I quote him: "This isn't about yelling, and this isn't about politics. It's about the human heart."

In other news, I just recently read the manga MW by Osamu Tezuka, and while I've read a bit of his other serious works (Black Jack, Metropolis) besides Astro Boy, Kimba and his shoujo manga, I never knew that he actually created a manga with a homosexual protagonist.

MW is the story about a Japanese priest, Father Garai, his connection to criminal mastermind Michio Yuki. The sex scenes between Father Garai and Michio Yuki are unapologetic and will certainly upset normal audiences (what I mean about "normal" are people who are still fazed by the internet, and are not found in my f-list, LOL), but the concept is very interesting. Osamu Tezuka wins at life, and I am amazed at his talent as evidenced by his vast and unique body of work.

What's interesting is that there will be a movie coming out soon, with Hiroshi Tamaki (live-action Nodame Cantabile's Shinichi Chiaki) as the protagonist Michio Yūki and Takayuki Yamada (Densha Otoko film's Train Man) as the priest Garai. I wonder if they'll still retain the homosexual explicitness of the manga? Oh well, something to look forward to!


mooguriklaine slept over yesterday and we had some pretty disturbing insights into Twilight's Edward Cullen. We imagine him writing a diary the way Legolas would in The Very Secret Diaries of the Fellowship. Our imagination brought us this:

Day Three

Saved a Mousy-looking girl today while looking so sparkly and mysterious in my new vintage leather jacket. I am so cool, I live forever and I'm still in highschool! Go me!

Day Ten

Keep flashing my Marble, Incandescent Smooth Chest at random strangers. Am definitely still the prettiest!

Mucho love to crowitched for the epic links: High School Musical 3's Ryan Evans still a coded gay character, coded meaning He's Just So Damn Gay He Gay-ifies Everything Around Him, But We Won't Tell You. Accompanied by the article "High School Musical" Character Outed in Disney Stage Production, in which Ryan Evans has pin-ups of men on his locker, ogles at a half-naked back-up dancer, and squeeaas when Troy Bolton passes by. OH GOD YES.

As stated in my previous post, Lucas Grabeel is also starring as a cute gay boy in Gus Van Sant's MILK, a story about Harvey Milk, the first openly gay man to be elected in public office, along with a bunch of other equally hot gay men, which makes me want to have a penis. Watch the fabulous trailer, if you haven't!

People have been like, worrying over the whole Ryan x Kelsi thing, which is Disney's attempt at Forced Heterosexuality, but I kinda find it cute. I can see their latest sitcom, The Fag and the Fag Hag, ala Will and Grace, but with more theatrics and dancing. Also, I still think Kelsi is a Russian lesbian. SCREW YOU, MICKEY MOUSE

So like, I was reading Metal Gear Solid porn in our computer shop, not giving a shit about the manly men playing DOTA beside me who could clearly see that I was reading men making out and then some. I mean, these peons surely do not know Solid Snake and Otacon, right? RIIGHT?

And then suddenly, the cellphone of the guy seated right next to me (and who keeps at glancing at my computer screen) rings and he has a METAL GEAR SOLID RING TONE.

I realised something. It's really difficult to read gay porn beside your brother and his friends. :(

Anyway, what crazy techniques do you usually employ to hide the fact that you're reading gay porn (or any porn for that matter), since there is always the possibility that your parents/little children/innocent co-workers are lurking behind the shadows?

When I'm reading fic, I usually reduce the size of the text to the smallest font I can read, and I resize the window and place it at the lower right corner of the screen. There must be some innocent webpage (like my e-mail...oh wait, that's not innocent enough) right next to it, to confuse the annoying customer that hovers behind my back. On the other hand, due to years of training and heightened senses, I have mastered the Click the Minimize button in a Half-Second or the Scroll Down Faster Than The Speed of Light techniques. These aren't 100% fool-proof, because last time I tried to hide something I was so anxious I ended up typing weird shit and the yaoi manga went into SLIDE SHOW mode, literally encompassing the whole screen. That was fucked up.

Usually I just wait until everybody's asleep. Dundundun...

Unfortunately, I'm not as cautious when it comes to storing said adult material. I've accidentally saved some in My Pictures, which everybody looks at. And my folder is public, and it has my name on it. I think the girl managing our computer shop is just completely unfazed by the amount of pornography found in all our computers. Meep.

This is just one of the many examples of "Happy Ninja Family" official art that are sold as posters, postcards, notebooks, etc. and proceed to fill our minds with dreams of Domesticity, Parenthood, and Amazing Sex in a Ninja Home.

7. MEANWHILE EVERYONE IS FUCKED TEN TIMES OVER IN xxxHOLIC AND TSUBASA RESERVOIR CHRONICLES, LOL CLAMP

8. My gift to myself this November is to just loosen up and have some fun, goddamnit, and I don't want annoying people to show up with their obsessions in the love-angst-boo-hoo category. STAY AWAY, HORMONAL TEENAGERS, I FUCKING MEAN IT

I nabbed it from hyper_airis since we both have 3107501506 gb of yaoi. ♥


[1] Firstly, how into yaoi are you?

:: I think gay sex has infiltrated my normal thought processes. I can do a simple thing like going to a grocery store and say "What would Leorio and Kurapika buy?" (lol reference to the Domesticity series!) Plus I can't read Victorian English anymore without grinning stupidly. (ex: "Yes Holmes!" Watson ejaculated.)

( Because reading yaoi helps me study Nihongo! ... like Yamete kudasai, etc... )

I TAG ALL THE GAY PEOPLE

I've been on a nostalgia-trip lately; if I'm sick of staring at my half-done papers I go watch old anime. And boy, does everything change when you view them as a nineteen-year-old who proudly lists "pornography" as entertainment.

Things in Anime That Have Escaped Me Completely Back in the Days When I Was a Wee Child (Yes We Were All Innocent Back Then)

1. I denied the gay in Card Captor Sakura, even if it was waving its ass at my face. When Sakura confessed to Yukito and it was revealed that Touya was Yukito's "number one" (CANON WORDS, PEOPLE), I deemed it as a loving, devoted friendship. Even when even Sakura shipped them in the end. The blatant pedophilia (TeradaxRika, MizukixTouya, heck almost everyone in this series) I also regarded as something weird, but pretty much a normal background plot device.

Card Captor Sakura = CUTESY? What, with Tomoyo's strange obsession? I still fucking ship SyaoranxSakura, anyway, and I won't let Tsubasa ruin my "feel-good" ship. CLAMP, YOU BITCHES

2. I shipped het in Gundam Wing. YES, ALL FIVE OF THEM. I paired up Quatre with Dorothy Catalonia. If that isn't fucked up, I don't know what is. (and you know what? I still don't like the gay. xD)
3. I also shipped het in Weiss Kreuz, which is gayer than a rainbow. Especially since their straight relationships go down in the end...
4. When Haruka and Michiru were revealed as lovers (I love the Philippine dub, they didn't change anything at all) I didn't think of it as OMG LESBIANS but more like "Oh, so they're lovers. Okay." Now I ship them just as hard. ♥
5. I shipped Kurama x Botan. WHAT THE FUCK
6. I didn't know Shinji was masturbating to Asuka. Then again, there was so much going on in End of Evangelion and everyone was naked so I lost all consciousness.


Hunter x Hunter was what made me come out of the closet, and I ended up being a rabid Leorio x Kurapika fan. I still am. Also, my eyes were opened by Hisoka's disturbing preferences and uh, general behavior. Thank you Yoshihiro Togashi, for raping my brain.

*

My big brother's blood pressure is abnormal so I decided to live a healthy lifestyle and promptly banned fried, oily food in the house (my parents are abroad, so I'm in charge for now ;_;). kotomine and I went to to grocery store and bought oranges, apples, bananas, imported apple cranberry juice and orange juice with pulp, salads, and a lot of other healthy stuff. What's ironic is that we spent so much money on fruits and vegetables, whereas unhealthy food costs less. It really is tough to live healthy if there is no other option. Seems like the food companies are determined to kill you. T_T

Doumeki Haruka, referring to Doumeki Shizuka and why he eats Watanuki's cooking

WHAT IS HARUKA TRYING TO SAY, ANYWAY?

1. What we all think it means

2. What we don't think it means

3. What we think CLAMP wants us to think, which is probably what we don't think it means

4. That CLAMP is fucking with our brains by not creating all-out yaoi couples and instead making a lot of blatant innuendo with sizzling homoerotic overtones every goddamn panel in all of their goddamn series JESUS CHRIST ON A POGO STICK WILL THERE OR WILL THERE BE NO BUTT-FUCKING, HUH



This is proof that the internet has ruined me. I can't even think of "mouth", "put in", and "satisfy" without smothering a grin...

In other news, xxxHolic is becoming really interesting again (there's a new customer in Yuuko's shop)! I realised that when xxxHolic crossovers with Tsubasa I get really depressed reading it, like there's such a heavy feeling. Are the original characters in Tsubasa still themselves, anyway, or are they all clones and shit already?

Why I wanted to go

1) Tradition. kotomine and I have been loyal yaoi con-goers, even back in the first time when we were just in a small, dark room, giggling to ourselves like a cult of sorts. The Lights-Out people call us "the sisters". I was underage back then. Haha!

2) To meet my online friends and friends I haven't seen for a while.


Why I ended up not going

1) I decided to marathon Flight of the Conchords instead. And I love it, most especially Jemaine, even if he looks retarded. But he's cool! *u*)/ You're so beautiful--like a tree. Or a high-class prostitute. The night before, I finished Watchmen, and a mind fresh from a Watchmen experience is not something one should have during the yaoi con.

2) I might see people I don't want to see. It's not that I hate them, it's just that they're a not-so-good reminder (lol understatement) of my recent past. I might end up sulking the whole day, which is a horrible sight to behold. Plus I won't make great company.

3) I'm not comfortable watching yaoi with a bunch of people I don't know. I know it's strange, but I just can't. I even watch my favourite movies and anime alone (or with my siblings, but we're used to each other). I like reading manga and comics alone, without a person peering behind me. I think it's a habit, but also because I regard reading/watching as a sacred, private ritual. If there will be mad fangirl squealing, it will be the one inside my head.

4) I've lost interest. kotomine feels the same. WHAT? MUSHROOM LOSING INTEREST IN YAOI? (Is it the end of the world?) No, no, no, it's not that. I am still flaming gay, as usual. And I ship gay like my life depends on it. But I'm not interested in the kind of yaoi that they sell or display anymore. Reason is, I'm a) broke and saving for graphic novels and b) the internet has spoiled me. I think of downloading instead. And if I'm not going to buy anything, then what's the use of me going there?

5) I've lost interest in anime conventions, generally. Conventions that aren't from up_ame. (because AME cons are always worth it and more :P). Most likely because I want to spend my money on classic Dvds and books. I have too many plushies, pins, cards, and other anime merchandise already.

6) I'm interested, however, in the Comic-Con. So yeah, hope to see you there? :D

Actually I was done with these about two months ago (lolz) but they slipped my mind completely. Anyway, I'm happy to present the first batch of Epic Hero Saga Adventures Z comic strips! EHSA Z is a subtle parody of shounen anime and how fans view them. I make MANY jibes on fandom in this series, tee-hee. Character Profiles can be found here!

This is dedicated to liquidskin08, because I adore her. ♥

I have another batch of "I'm in love with a geek boy" comics coming up, plus "The Martian" one-shot series. The latter will probably take a while, and by a while I mean MAYBE NEXT YEAR, lol. What with acads and orgwork and all that.


MUSHROOM STUDIOS PRESENTS:

Link to The Hero's Epic Battle!

1. The Metal Gear Solid series has exceeded the Final Fantasy series in my opinion. I mean, Final Fantasy VII was totally epic but the storylines and the gameplay weren't as great in the next ones.

2. MGS 4 = Lots of Hot Babes and Plenty of Manly Gay Action

I have a theory that it's Hideo Kojima's fantasy to be surrounded by sexy women while being kissed by some random old, topless dude. DID JOO RAIK IT

3. Was initially depressed while spoiling myself during the first Acts of MGS 4, but I VOTED FOR GAY ENDING AND IT HAPPENED ♥ It's just so beautiful. And domestic. Uguu! So much love to liquidskin08 for the updates. ♥ I had tears in my eyes just looking at the videos~

4. We all know that the graphics in MGS 4 is the best thing ever. Up your ass, Advent Children. I still haven't forgiven Square Enix for making that shitty, plotless eye candy, and for making Cloud Strife the gaming representation of the emo kid. What the fuck happened to the sarcastic, gruff Cloud I know and love? Apparently he's now being buttsexed somewhere. Sad.

Anyway, I swore loudly when I saw the new Codec. OTACON MOVING AND TALKING AND REACHING FOR THE SCREEN SO SNAKE YOU CAN SEE HIS CROTCH. Perfect for fapping access, which I so totally did.

What I mean is, uh, the graphics were great. Even better than Call of Duty 4, another game I love. It also broke the fourth wall so bad, I think it's now just bits and pieces. :D

5. I want MGS 4-quality Sniper Wolf. In my opinion she is still the original hot chick of the Metal Gear series. Sure, Eva was sexy and Naomi wanted to prove that she had a chest for some reason, but Sniper Wolf's breasts were magnificent. I'm kinda gay for her.

6. Aww, Johnny Sasaki, who knew he was a bishounen? And I really, really love Mei Ling and Meryl. Actually all the original MGS characters have a special place in my heart. Yes, you too Psycho Mantis.

7. OTACON I DON'T CARE THAT YOU DID *TOOOT* IN A HELICOPTER ANYMORE, I STILL LOVE YOU (ALTHOUGH YOU MAY NEED SOME SPANKING BECAUSE OF THAT INCIDENT)

NOW GO SERVE SNAKE SOME EGGS

8. Conversation with my gay gamer friend
