Will she be as indelibly burned into Heritage Minute history as the “But I need these baskets back!” guy who almost prevented basketball from being invented? Here’s hoping.

It’s a portrait of Pete Davidson.

And the GUNSHOT when you select NEW GAME from the menu! Gives me chills still.

Snake eater wins for The Ladder Boss.

Not to be overlooked is the music for the VR Missions disc. It has some glorious Metal Gear 1 and Metal Gear 2 tunes remixed in the MGS style while still keeping true to the original MSX2 synth aesthetic.

I was 12 in 1998, and I never even heard of the Metal Gear series to that point. But I remember getting a massive issue of EGM with a giant blowout of the first few hours of MGS (up to Kenneth Baker’s death) and just the descriptions of everything the game entailed, and a story that felt like a movie that came to…

Eternal love for this game. It was released when I was 22 at a time when I had gotten my first real job and had a tiny apartment and zero money for anything other than rent and food. I was old enough to have gamed from the beginning (Atari 2600/Intellivision/Coleco/NES) and I remember playing through that opening…

He was really upset about the tattoo. We lied to him and were like “it’s not that bad, it’s good! No one can tell!”

But 2nd Edition didn't use THAC0...

IT’S NOT THAT HARD! (yeah, robdalajara, following right behind ya...)

I believe you meant THAC0. I’ll show myself out now.

NASA:  giving me free Wallpapers since, well, whenever.

I wasn’t looking for a new desktop wallpaper, but if you insist.

Independence Day may be the most entertaining, but Men in Black is the best. It’s smarter and funnier than it had any right to be.
