Snake? Snake? Snaaaaaaake!

So no, I haven't really been playing much of the Metal Gear Solid collection that I bought a short while ago. I did, however, make a little papercraft of Snake in a box!

a Fox News parody

The very talented folks over at Loading Ready Run have just put up a video that is too good not to share with everyone, poking fun at the crazy journalistic integrity of Fox News and their sensationalist piece on Mass Effect. Pure awesome. http://flash.revver.com/player/1.0/player.swf
