"We live in a sad age. YouTube, PSEyes, leaked videos... 1990s Internet had its share of trolls, but at least they had no streaming video. Internet today makes things too easy."

Being that Metal Gear Solid is so cash, and most of the trolls emerged from the depths of /v/ (where wanking to Big Boss is mandatory), several MGS references have emerged. Even Chris has made some possibly unintentional nods to the franchise. Vivian has also proclaimed her love for Liquid Snake.

Allusions made by trolls

• The Miscreants are an obvious parody of The Patriots, except that The Patriots aim to troll the world while The Miscreants specialize in autistic manchildren.

The Miscreants' codenames all go along the lines of, "The (x)". This is another nod to MGS3, where one must face The Pain, The Fear, The End, and The Fury.

• "Liquid Chris" was the codename for CChanSonichuCWC, noting that Liquid Snake was Solid Snake's genetic twin and enemy who had inherited the recessive genes of their father Big Boss and was therefore led to believe himself inferior, with the irony being that Liquid Chris excelled in everything Solid Chris does.

• Chris' appearance resembles Big Boss in the fan comic Sonichu Finale.

• Wild Sonichu was crafted into a Solid Snake lookalike for a scene in episode 7 of Sonichu: The Animated Series, where he makes TRUE and HONEST love to a cardboard box. This design would later be ressurrected to be used in Sonichu: TTAHCS.

• Jason Kendrick Howell goes by the e-handle "Liquid Snake".

• Some of Clyde's messages to Chris contain footage from the series.

It really could.

Big Boss appeared in Sonichu 9, but was mauled by faggotry.

• Metal Speed Solid is one of the LittleBigPlanet levels made by Chris. Yes why, it's really bad.

• Gecko and Mantis are shown as chefs in CWC's "It's All Coming Back To Me". While physically deformed mutants, their names are reference to the troll Gecko Mantis, who got his name from the elite bio-mechanical robot originating from MGS4, and Psycho Mantis, a psychic soldier appearing in MGS1 and briefly in MGS4.

• Jason Kendrick Howell was portrayed similar to Big Boss, with brown hair, a headband and an eye patch. For a while, it was assumed that Chris browsed /v/ for three seconds, saw a Big Boss picture and decided it was close enough, despite Big Boss and Liquid Snake (Jason's e-alias) being radically different characters. Later, Jason revealed that Chris saw an old picture of him with an eye patch on Myspace; which makes a bit more sense, as Chris wouldn't go near any place as drunk or smokey as /v/.

• Wild sneaks into the 4-cent garbage.com company headquarters, which is apparently full of empty red corridors. Chris may be making a subtle joke at Metal Gear Solid's typical bland military bases. Or, far more likely, he is too stressed to include enemies, or details.

Notes

It should be pointed out that most of the trolls reference Metal Gear Solid 3, for the PlayStation 2. It wouldn't be too outrageous to think this is because most trolls aren't on government welfare and can't cough up the hundreds of dollars for a PS3. This is one of those rare cases where God/Jesus decided to counter-troll.

Christian has purchased Metal Gear Solid from the PSN; however, he most likely has not touched it because he's too busy playing Guitar Hero or Brutal Legend or LittleBigPlanet or Wheel of Fortune and the fact that sneaking behind enemies instead of attacking them head-on is too stressful for him.

Also of note, Metal Gear Solid 4 is not listed as one of the best PS3 games according to Chris, even though it has sold over 5 million units, making it the best-selling PS3-exclusive title to date.
