Yesterday i had a moment to try a bit old but still ubber-cool game called Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater. If you ever played MGS series, i dont have to say how fantastic they are. To be honest all the series always make me say "how the hell they did it?".

But regarding the game itself, i was fighting with The End, a game-boss and member of the Cobra unit, born in the early 1860s. He was instanly sniping me from his Mosin-Nagant rifle, and since im pretty noob in such games i couldnt find him inside that freakin forrest (hes really good camouflaged).

After getting seriously injured (few times), ive googled for some hints. And firsty i couldnt belive. This boss is really old, even his parrot names him as Grandpa, so the hint uses this fact very directly. In order to pass him away (one of the ways) you need to save your game, reset your console, change the system date (one week forward) and reload the save. And guess what, when you reload it The End will simply die because of an old age. For me that was a really, really incredible game plot, holy cow. I havent seen such thing yet.

If you are a music fan, you should also test "Snake Eater" song, performed by Cynthia Harrel:


And if you havent played the Metal Gear Solid series so far, go and do so, they are really worth it. Thank you Mr. Hideo Kojima, this rocks.
