Has anyone noticed that MGS1 was supposed to take place this year ? Metal Gear 2:Solid Snake took place in 1999, if you haven't played it you can read "Previous Missions", and in MGS1 after the Ninja Boss fight Snake said that he fought Gray Fox on a minefield in Zanzibar 6 years ago, which means that MGS1 took place this year !!!

What does that mean ?
Looks I made a graph out of some para's.
Well, it's not just about consoles. I was just giving an example. In addition to being ignorants, they have other bad traits. They think they are the best people in the world, and for nothing. Once, there was an Egyptian who had posted a topic in an Arabian chat forum. He was complaining about the fact that gaming life in Egypt was neglected by the forum, and he said that Egyptians are more intelligent than Saudi Arabians and Kuwitians, and other Arabian people in general. Now this topic had hundreds of replies, and they were all curses about the Egyptians, and they simply pointed out that there is no gaming life in Egypt. And actually, I find all Arabians more intelligent than Egyptians.
First of all gaming in other Arabian countries is normal, in fact it may be better than Europe in the rich countries, because both PAL and NTSC are sold officially in stores, and that's because Arabians are fond of RPG's. Also, aside from games, take movies for example. When I went to see The Matrix Reloaded in Egypt, there were 3 persons in the entire cinema, including me. When I went to see Revolutions, there were 4 persons, including me, and my brother. And when I went to see Kill Bill Vol. 2, there was just me. And to tell you the truth, at first there was a guy and a girl at first, but they left during "The Lonely Grave Of Paula Shultz" Chapter. While on the other hand, there are millions of people who go to see Egyptian movies, which are all about nothing, at ALL. Non of them had a plot. And I mean it. Not even a silly plot. They are all about stupid people trying to be funny so that the people would laugh, and those stupid Egyptians like it.
Beleive it or not, this is Egypt's No.1 all time block buster, and everybody says that it's the best movie of all time: [URL] http://www.adabwafan.com/display/product.asp?id=53254[/URL]
It's in Arabic, but it's enough to look at the poster to realize what I'm talking about. The name of the movie is " The Limby"
Also, this is everybody's favourite actor: [URL] http://www.al-jazirah.com.sa/magazine/15042003/ar.htm[/URL] (It's the picture on top)
Does anyone know that there are no DVD's in Egypt ? And people hardly buy VHS tapes, most of them get those rip off's for free on their PC.
Now here is a good one, this is an actual fact: According to statistics, in last year's annual book fare the sales of beefburger sandwiches and pop corn where more than the sales of books.
And there are millions of other examples, but I can't list them all here.

Aha, you can't judge your fellow countryfolk based on whether they know what consoles are out there.

I have a fresh pair of "Colin" eyes for you right here.
Then read it again after you fix your eyes.

Being a fan gives me more credebility. I can see it for what it really is. Everyone else who thinks that The Twin Snakes is better didn't really get the point of the original MGS.

Actually all I had to do is put away The Twin Snakes, and never play it again. I didn't even enjoy it.
And I hate Egyptians because I am Egyptian, so I live with other Egyptians and that's why I can see how retarded they are.

And just to prove to you that I am not the only one who thinks that the original is better, read those 2 quotes which were taken from walkthrough writers, people who know how to play the game:
"The Twin Snakes plays like a dream, but it has sadly
lost a lot of the charm that the original had... mainly because of the cinemas."
"The gameplay and graphics are now on par with Sons of Liberty. While not a replacement of the original game by any means. "

He was talking about getting magazines in Egypt, before.
He also said he was part of a religion which disagreed with porn.
