I just submitted an honors paper today that I've been working on for a good chunk of the semester (fingers crossed that it's good enough). The opening and ending of it both use quotes from the end of MGS2, which makes it kind of ironic that I submitted it on April 30th. Although, more than anything, I think it's a sign of how much this game has stuck in my mind since I completed it.

There are so many incredible twists scattered throughout and so many brilliant themes that it's impossible for me to describe them all. But the thing that sticks out to me the most is one of Snake's lines from the end: "Everything you felt, thought about during this mission is yours, and what you decide to do with them is your choice."

I think that's something everyone should hear, at some point in their lives.
