So true “I now have a hole in my second favorite drinking arm.” sums up Max pretty well.

While he doesn’t have a wife, I think further penalty has to be levied upon Snake because, if I’m understanding it correctly, hasn’t he basically inspired a number of the same generic white male brooding-if-quirky bearded military commando types within his own setting?
