A small Easter egg that's been missing for 24 years - the original Japanese version of PS2 Sons of Liberty had a different ringtone for the mobile phone, which went missing in all future versions of the game. Will be restored for all regions with MGSHDFix 3.1.0. :3

Time marches on. Cherish your loved ones and hold them tight, because the days you have with them are priceless but fleeting.

Someone made a video game about what happened at the Big Shell, and a friend of mine suggested I try it while "live streaming". I don't really know what I'm doing, but I'll try anything once! twitch.tv/outerheaven*

Why are people replying to this with pornography links!?

I got an early birthday present! My wife bought me a new tie to replace the one that got torn up. She said it was hard to track down. I'm such a lucky man. P.S. Don't worry about the late coffee, it's decaf!

Wow, people are drawing artwork of me? This Yoji Shinkawa guy sounds pretty cool. You too, Foxheart Prod! Thank you both, whoever and wherever you are! P.S. I'll try to not let this go to my head, I promise.

How in the world did I miss this? Found near the back of The Art of Metal Gear Solid 2 is a Yoji Shinkawa sketch of a certain Big Shell maintenance technician. I love this so much. Huge thanks to Foxheart Prod for pointing it out!

Oops! I'm still embarrassed that I put the flag up wrong, so I sure do appreciate the kind gesture! Thanks! P.S. Is "mod" another word for photoshopping? I don't understand the popular lingo nowadays.

Nitroid ❗️@Nitroid

I couldn't take it anymore. I've published a mod on NexusMods for the Master Collection version of Metal Gear Solid 2 that fixes the reversed U.S. flag in the Hall on B1, in the Shell 1 Core. You're welcome.

Thinking about Big Shell today, and I found some unused footage. I spliced them together with some stock music. I value the past, but I don't want to relive or remake my memories. I don't think it's healthy. Besides, some things are too valuable to tamper with. Take care, all.

@ArctosElliott I was just as confused when I saw the photo, but I found out later that it's an effect of the wide angle lens that was used! twitter.com/ParametricPalt…

Not trying to be pedantic or anything, but when I was but a wee MGS fan, I visited Federal Hall, and it turns out that the pedestal supporting George Washington is like 5 feet tall. Sadly, you can't sit on it like this.

During a trip to New York City, I visited Federal Hall and a friend of mine took this photo. It looks really great! Thanks again, @ParametricPalta!

@ParametricPalta Happy to help! By the way, what lens did you use? I look enormous!

@ParametricPalta I don't know what a lot of that means, but I was so hungry when I got back to New York that I ate a raw potato I bought from a street vendor. Best I'd ever had!

@kaidantonio Oh wow, that's pretty uncanny! I can't imagine anyone ever wanting to make a movie about me though!

@TheTomOlsen Hey Tom, who would you like to play you in a movie adaptation of your Big Shell adventure? I think Matt Smith would be fantastic!

I have a confession... I'm not real, I'm just a video game character. ...April Fools! That would be pretty crazy though, wouldn't it? Technology sure is impressive, the 3D character in the pictures looks just like me! Who knows, maybe I will be in a video game someday!

Go Mets! I couldn't make it to the game today, but I was there in spirit! I've actually been out hiking in the woods all day. Figured I'd try my hand at nature photography. What do you think, am I any good at it?
