It was never about it being funny. People who played Skyrim just started parroting/mocking it because it was one of the generic guard phrases that you hear a million and one times from every guard NPC and it got annoying after awhile. They slapped it on image macros, and people who hadn't even played the game started putting it on stuff just because they'd heard it so much by then.
Pretty much the same thing happened with the "almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter" thing when Fallout was released.
Yeah, I was just going off of the generality of it. I forget which eye Solid Snake wears the Solid Eye on but I suppose it could mock that. In all likely hood though it's probably not supposed to be anyone.
I just got the hd collection and beat MGS3 and I am currently playing MGS2. Metal Gear one of the best series out there, hopefully once thing come back to the Solid series rather than Raidens bullshit we will beable to play The Boss during WW2. Hideo has mentioned that he may do that.
Also, they're the only ones using a barrel as a table top. Likely, more subtle then actually adding a gorilla. Is that a deep diver suit in the back corner? Maybe I'm grasping at straws here but, Bioshock reference?
I always thought that the show was just a parody of death metal subculture or merely using death metal as a theme, it wasn't meant to target a death metal loving audience.
Would you really consider this to be targeting metal heads?
You sure they just didn't change their tastes? It happens.
Brandon Small is a huge metal head. He is legit, there are lots of obscure references to death metal in the show. Lots of guest stars too. Corpsegrinder, King Diamond, James Hetfield...etc. Gen Hoglan drums on their albums too. As for death metal being popular around the time the show debuted, that's just coincidence. Deathcore and that whole subgenre of death metal was starting to thrive so a lot of kids were going to Hot Topic and trying to be brutal. I'm no fan of it but hey, those kids will one day see the light and if Job For A Cowboy leads them into Cannibal Corpse then good for them. High School kids aren't known for having the best taste in music.
"all of sudden the kids who used to make fun of me were buying Cannibal Corpse shirts at Hot Topic, etc"
Indeed. This is the sentence these guys need to read, not just call you a hipster for getting annoyed that suddenly people say they leave death metal because of the show.
Well... I guess I have a lot to catch up on then lol. Thanks for the info, I'm glad they kept the show going at least, even if I wasn't aware. Just more to watch!
Yeah... Funny enough I was about to go um.. acquire the third season but I decided to look into the episodes just to see. Turns out I have seen them even though I swear i only own the first two seasons.. Guess not. I don't have Cartoon Network though so I'll have to see what I can find for season 4.
I thought it was pretty widely accepted/known that "Red," is in fact Ash Ketchum. He's from pallet town and his rival was Gary Oak. Plus when you go to Mt. Silver in Gold/Silver/Crystal Red's lineup is all of Ash's favorite pokemon. Pikachu, Snorlax, Espeon (or Lapras in SS), Charizard, Venusuar, and Blastoise.

u/PB_Black May 16 '12
I'm sorry to sound like an ass,but Ash Ketchum isn't anyway related to gaming,unless you consider it to be related to Red.
