Metal Gear Solid 2 is a Masterpiece

#metalgearsolid #mgs2 #hideokojima An insane deep diving retrospective about Metal Gear Solid 2, it’s creator, inspirations, characters, themes and story. Also a lot of my own personal experiences with the game and fan theory conjuring done since 2001. Basically everything I’ve ever wanted to say about MGS2 over the years Metal Gear Solid 2 is a memetic, prophetic absurd, surreal masterpiece that’s holds a special place in my heart, and we’re going to look at every angle of this Bizarre Adventure. __________________________________________________ Follow me on Twitter: Ascended_Pixel __________________________________________________ Check out these other awesome creators James T Keegan: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCSOQTSk44dNwJ2xNKZUJ5sQ Lily Arciniega: https://youtube.com/c/LilyArciniega Harlem Kenway: https://youtube.com/channel/UCjnxvCWD6dCzxGMZGt5q9Qg __________________________________________________ Website sources: CNA https://www.cna.org/cna_files/pdf/DRM-2018-U-017433-Final.pdf Brainpickings https://www.brainpickings.org/2013/10/02/richard-dawkins-meme-appetite-for-wonder/ The Unsettling Rise of Internet Censorship https://hackernoon.com/the-spread-of-internet-censorship-around-the-world-7i1mn3zwb Eurogamer https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/kojima-wants-realistic-violence IGN https://www.ign.com/articles/2012/06/09/kojima-mgs2-was-meant-to-be-my-last-metal-gear Kotaku https://www.google.com/amp/s/kotaku.com/that-time-kojima-deceived-everyone-about-metal-gear-sol-1746286966/amp Metal Gear Wiki https://metalgear.fandom.com/wiki/Metal_Gear_Wiki The Internet is Sh*t http://www.internetisshit.org/4.html TheSnakeSoup http://thesnakesoup.org/editorial-articles/curious-case-tomokazu-fukushima/ The AV Club https://www.google.com/amp/s/film.avclub.com/john-carpenter-s-escape-from-l-a-is-underrated-as-sat-1798246949/amp __________________________________________________ BACKGROUND MUSIC PLAYLIST https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpn2ecPvWflsOEVTTzdw0SfEpvkUGcRix ___________________________________________________ VIDEO FOOTAGE: S3 Codec https://youtu.be/eKl6WjfDqYA MGS2 Documentary Renegade2786 https://youtu.be/eJVYND_YRx8 The Document of MGS2 AdamSpenser87 https://youtu.be/36xjM3Mg7pY https://youtu.be/iO4TRDPjdtA https://youtu.be/jSZHv9mouvA SUPPLEMENTAL FOOTAGE: Longplays by SourceSpy91 https://www.youtube.com/c/SourceSpy91 32 INSANE Details in MGS2 https://youtu.be/5WSdsp4C_sE MGS2 All Secrets and Interesting stuff https://youtu.be/fLF53T4eHWY Metal Gear Solid 4 was a Mistake https://youtu.be/93-_r0w7ykI MGS2 cinematic trailer https://youtu.be/PjM4ZGHRqrs __________________________________________________ TABLE OF CONTENTS Intro - 00:00 Opening - 03:30 Hype/ Development - 04:10 Tanker Incident ( Infiltration/ New Mechanics/ - 08:06Environment/Meeting Olga/ The Holds) - 14:19 Attack On Metal Gear - 21:39 Tanker Conclusion - 24:19 Big Shell of Lies - 26:04 What’s A Raiden?
