I credit this game as the first game series that had me hooked into the characters stories, it had me looking up to Snake as a halfway decent role model, it taught me how to read at a very young age, and it was the first game I ever completed on my own. I'm overly nostalgic about this game and I can't help the multitude of memories that go with it. I had to subscribe.

***** Will you do Twin Snake? (Y/N) I've head an interesting theory about it. According to it, the game is cannon and goes between MGS1 and MGS2. The reason being is that this is Raiden's VR training playing as Snake (which match his acrobatic style in both MGS 2 and MGS 4). He also state that he did the Shadow Moses Incident VR training at the beginning of MGS 2. It's neet considering that sometime fan theory actually became canon like the James Bond codename theory.

The found times were the battle with Meryl in the cells, the stairway that is so long that MS3 ladder has something to say, battle in the elevator, and the battle in when going for Vulcan Raven. The being bound in the cell by the ill guard doesn't seems to count. The kills that I counted were three from the first Meryl battle, the two of the tank, the three on the bridge when going to the second tower, four in the elevator, three by going down to fight Vulcan raven, and the last seven in the escape part. I would love to try it, but I would have to do at least 3 more walktrhought to match this kind of ability, and I'm not that desperate. Good played.
