Liquid Snake, gay icon
[quote name="Schadenfreude"]I just had to share this with someone who understands, so here it goes. Maybe it's old news, but I just discovered it.<br><br>So I'm looking for pictures of RE4 to make a point on some forum elsewhere, and I come across <a href="http://gaygamer.net/images/dconre4cast.jpg">this living horror</a>. After pondering once again for some minutes about how much cosplayers should be poisoned and shot in the ass, I realize the pic belongs to a website called <a href="http://gaygamer.net/">GayGamer</a>. I didn't even know such a thing even existed, but in any case I think it's the most bizarre, coolest concept ever to base a website on.<br><br>I was reading some of their articles, and I come across their <a href="http://gaygamer.net/top-20-gayest-video-game-characters/">Top 20 Gayest Videogame Characters</a>. And just when I thought things couldn't get any better, I find the single most brilliant post ever. And I don't mean only on this particular website. Some guy called Matt W. writes in to speak about the gayest character in one of the most blatantly gay videogame series ever: Ladies and gentleman, it's none other than <i>Metal Gear Solid</i>'s own Liquid Snake!<br><br>And <a href="http://gaygamer.net/2006/07/top_20_gayest_video_game_chara_22.html">here's why</a>, in case someone needs further explanations ...<br><br><blockquote>I am not gay, but Liquid Snake makes me wish I was. He’s Oscar Wilde meets Darth Vader. Liquid Snake is Solid Snake’s twin brother, but whereas Solid is a gruff introvert, Liquid is a scene-munching fireball of homoeroticism. Imagine if Hugo Weaving had played Agent Smith like he was still in Priscilla Queen of the Desert, and you’ll begin to get an inkling of the flaming magnetism Liquid brings to the action-thriller setting. He refuses to wear a shirt, gallivants around like he’s doing Shakespeare in the park in every scene, sucks the juice out of every line of dialogue, and finally rips Solid Snake’s clothes off for no other reason than to bask in the radiance of their collective bare-chested glory.</blockquote><br><br>This is made of win and awesome.[/quote]
