#45: Metal Gear Solid 4 -- The Microwave Hall

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdjLBYxAcUI

I honestly can't do too much of a writeup on this. The video just says it all. But I'll try.

The stakes are set. Everything is going to hell in a handbasket. The good guys are getting invaded and overwhelmed. We see characters we love fighting for their lives, getting wounded, falling. The guns of the Patriots are charging. But we don't hear any of that.

We see and hear an exhausted Snake, who has endured pain and torture like nothing we can imagine, slowly move through a hallway.

A hallway that cooks him alive.

His gear starts sizzling and popping. His health bar is draining as he stumbles. He's surrounded by smoke from his suit, his gadgets, and likely his own body. And he falls. He falls, he should die, and the world should be fucked. Nobody could ever blame him if this were the end of his mission.

*But it refused.

So he crawls. First on his knees. Then he falls again. Then on his belly, like his namesake. Then he falls again. So many times, he just shouldn't get back up and let oblivion take him.

But he keeps. Getting. Up.

I don't think I can say anything more.
