Raiden, are you receiving? Don't worry, it's a video! It's a video just like usual. You'll ruin your eyes watching so close to the screen. Mind the gap. Even my patience has its limits. I just can't leave this thing up to you any longer. I'll do the subscribing! You can just go home! When pruning them it's a good idea to wear gloves. Those were the good old days...
What were you in your former life? You seem to get a real thrill out of sh*tposting. Are you frustrated about something? Don't get too greedy or you might be sorry. Be careful, Snake.
Honestly though, you've been watching for a long time. I can't believe it -- that someone who has committed all those twisted acts in the woman's bathroom - would make it this far...
this is the end of the world. 61!

Eerie, really eerie.

Wheb I was a teen, I played MGS2 in 2004 and I thought it was pure fiction. How could information be pollution? How can we have useless information? And how can it be harmful? This was before twitter or even Facebook. We had no idea how people's misinformation and ignorant opinions would be so easily accessible... And that people would even believe it...

[@Ikcatcher]

I feel like this guy can spend the next two decades just talking about MGS2

[@agopessimist1335]

It's crazy to think how Deus Ex and MGS2 brought to the forefront these topics about misinformation, artificial intelligence, and societal control over 20 years ago, and their stories and themes are still relevant, perhaps even more so in the years to come!

[@josiahstrong1135]

I really can't help but feel like this is unironically becoming one of the most important channels that I watch. The lens you put this information thru is both relevant to the overarching theme, and incredibly sourced to our current reality. Fantastic.

The people who are hitting dislike are part of the Patriot AI

[@sandman6131]

You know, with such speed of making very good videos, I'm starting to think that you're an AI yourself

[@raiden1395]

I hear it's amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space with the tuning fork does a raw blink on Hara-Kiri Rock. I need scissors! 61!

[@IzunaDestruction]

Hideo would be proud of this channel.

[@djbeema]

I've always felt MGS2 was the most thought-provoking game in the series. It's a real treasure. I can't believe some people still hate it because Raiden lol. Maybe they see a bit too much of themselves in Raiden, hmm? Anyway, excellent video yet again! PS: How amazing was the MGS2 soundtrack?

[@optimize0]

I honestly feel that Kojima was really onto this back then. It's amazing to see these concepts in reality. Always gets me from the psychological and neurological perspective.

[@Inviting1word]

Why have predator drones , when you can have predator clones.

[@chadkarr7394]

this game was WAAAAAAAAAY ahead of its time, insofar as the themes depicted inside this game. The nanotech, the AI and how it wants to censor everything (like Ytube and Facebook). Also, the fact that there is a type of illuminati reference, called "the patriots." Its actually pretty creepy.

[@isaacuribe1501]

Your memes... end here.

[@WayTooUnderated]

This hits diff once again now two years later

[@MajorZeroCELL]

I just love the fact that people are still actively talking about the themes of my favorite game of all time. This proves that video games are art, I bet that MGS2 and MGS4 will be at least 95% accurate in the next decade.

[@xanax0089]

Kojima seems prophetic at times

[@choppydell]

Im just so happy someone has put the level of attention MGS needed the way Jorin Lee does. I did a report years ago in high school based on this and it went over everyones heads. Guess its easier with 20 years of cold hard evidence stacking up
