I will not be able to continue the series until I move into my new house. This could be as early as the 16th, but at that point my house will have pretty much nothing (well, it will have a TV so I will be able to play), which has driven my parents to come up with ideas for staying away for a while, until at least a few days before everything from my last house arrives (which will include, among many other things, my Wii). Until then, I might replay MGS1.
I also forgot to mention that the Blast Furnace kinda reminded me of Ico and RE4. And when I was on the elevators in that area (not the big ones), I couldn't help but think of Legends of the Hidden Temple ("with your guide, Kirk Fogg!"). If it wasn't for SOTC, this would be the second game I've played in a row with such elevators.
Also, Liquid Snake should not have lost to Frog back then.
Random question: Do you guys think Samus could pass for a cyborg ninja if she used a sword? Hey, there's an idea for the next Metroid...(IMO I personally consider action and combat to be key parts of that series. At least, more key than for RE or MGS).
