When I got married last year, my wife and I entered the lunch reception to the MGS theme.

Fuck yeah.

"The Best Is Yet To Come" is such a beautiful song. I think of my childhood every time I hear it. So relaxing :)

@TheBazman111 When it comes to platformers, I honestly prefer the Megaman X series (1-6+8).

[TheBazman111]

@hollowsephiroth would not say it is the worst platform game mario most definetly and certainly is very very overrated I will tell you what is my favorite game of all time jointly between streets of rage 2 and suikoden 2 witch I know is a konami game but is the best game they ever made.

[hollowsephiroth]

@TheBazman111 And next you're gonna say that Mario is the worst platforming game ever made. Sorry to accuse you of playing COD, that was my mistake. I guess to each his/her own, since I don't know your gender, I'm not gonna guess. Good day sir/madame.

[TheBazman111]

@hollowsephiroth no I hate cod with a passion as well medal of honour and battle feild but the story in this is a load of shit play horribly and is not heart rendering at all because the charaters have got no deph to them or make you want to care about them this is one of the most overated series ever along with zelda and final fantasy apart from 7 and castlevania is shit also konami just do not make good games never had.

[hollowsephiroth]

@TheBazman111 And you are just anothe rperson who wants more mind numbing explosions rather than something with storytelling and gameplay. Enjoy your COD. I'm gonna play something heartrending.

Oh, memories. I used to get so pissed off when ALERT went off.
