Liquid

Old age.

>Solid liquid and solidus are all code names
>Draws a literal gaseous body with a bandana
>GUIES WHERE GAS SNEK?

If you're going to make crappy OC, at least follow the logic the games already set up for you. "Gas Snake" would literally just be the same exact clone in a different jumpsuit. 1/10 effort

Accelerated aging

Thanks lads
Haven't played MGS4 in ages and couldn't remember exactly how it ends or if it hints at anything more.

Solidus. At least he wasn’t killed by the inferior Big Boss clone

Solidus. Might have been Liquid, but 4 turned him (and Ocelot) into a meme.

Was all the talk about memes in MGR intentional in order to get it memed about or was it dead serious and referencing the ideas of Dawkins?
I still cannot tell in honesty.

Wrong, retard. Solid was like a rock, never wavering and dependable. Liquid was malleable, literally pretends to be Miller for half the game.

Given the series history I'm gonna say it was genuine

Why exactly was there only room for one Snake and one Big Boss?

Okay? and? Where in your post did you deny that gas snake WOULD LITERALLY BE MADE OF GAS?

in what world is a rock dependable to you? its a fucking rock.

A rock is a rock, you can always count on it to be a rock.

Even if kojima wasn't trying, it's pretty apparent who was the better clone

>ocelot is actually pulling the strings
Ocelot is always actually pulling the strings, with Liquid and Solidus especially.

It was played-up because memetics was the main theme of Metal Gear Solid 2, passing on valuable information to the next generation. It's spelled out in the long CODEC conversation near the end with the GW AI, or just how the goal of the Patriots was to control to information for the sake of improving society, gets at the core of the meme concept. Most people IRL using the definition of "meme" as "viral image or joke spread online" during the years between MGS2 and MGR was a coincidence.

give me the rundown on ocelot pulling all the strings

Well Ocelot specifies that he, working alongside the Patriots at the time, orchestrated the whole Big Shell Incident in order to test the SSS program, a study in to how AIs and Patriot algorithms could control populations, experimenting specifically on Raiden. Ocelot was the primary architect behind all of this, working with Solidus and Gurlukovich/Olga to get it done according to the Patriots whims.
Did you skip the cutscene on top of Arse Gear?

Yeah, I know it was frequent in MGS2 but it didn't seem to be as meme baiting there, if that makes sense. It seemed like it was trying to be deeper, or more unsettling, whereas MGR seems to be going for a mix of depth and humour, specifically with Senator Armstrong's monologuing. Dunno.

I just haven't played in ages and want to be spoonfed nice simple explanations to refresh my memory, thank you lad
