mgs2 has a summary thing you can read that tells you everything that's important. plus they talk about it in mgs2 all the time anyway so you're fine

make sure you get the Legacy Collection, which is just the HD Collection but with way more poo poo included, like the original old-school Metal Gear games
The old-school MSX games are included in the HD Collection, on the main menu of MGS3. The only difference between HD Collection and Legacy Collection is the latter has a disc copy of MGS4 and PSN download codes for MGS1 and VR Missions packed in.

Oh, and some digital comics, but whatever.

You have to take that poo poo in stride. Revolver Ocelot alone constantly contradicts everything he says or does anytime he says or does a new thing.

doesn't it turn out at the end of mgs4 that ocelot was never actually hypnotized or controlled by liquid and he was faking it the entire time or something?

or was it that he became liquid and never turned back into ocelot or something

He was actually possessed by Liquid in 2 due to having latent spirit medium abilities thanks to his dad, The Sorrow. Before 4 he chops off Liquid's arm, get's a new one, and then just fakes being possessed in order to fool the Patriots.

Yeah...

In my head, the only people who would hang up posters of Borderlands would do so in a dorm room. It's like the Boondock Saints of video games.

In general, posters, unless they are in a frame and probably even then, are more of a college thing in terms of decor.

I do not judge anyone for their poster choices, but as an adult I find that the only things I really have room for on my wall anymore are photographs of friends and family, keepsakes from travel or important life events, and the like.

The Year of Luigi is of course an important life event, though.

One of the things we do hang is a painting of our bird which one of my wife's friends commissioned for us as a birthday present and most of the rest of it is like, pictures of godchildren, weddings, family keepsakes. someone should get me a cane and some plaid clothing and I'll start yelling at the kids who smoke out on our stoop.

Kids mostly play IOS apps instead of actual games anymore.

It's funny because computer labs for elementary schools have to put up signs saying "don't press the computer screens they won't work when touched, use a keyboard and mouse".

and they look at the KB&M like it's alien to them.

I hate having pictures of real people up on my walls. I feel like they're constantly judging me, staring at me and reminding me how my life didn't turn out the right way even though I thought I did everything right and having a decent job and education was all I needed. Video game posters and stuff don't judge me and remind me about how much fun they are, so that's why I brought along my game posters and other decorative crap along with me when I grew up.

And I don't really have any keepsakes aside from travel photos, which are all digital. Souvenirs that aren't video game related don't mesh with my collection, and therefore I'd rather just take a photo and keep it digital than have it take up space in my home.
