Snake sat back on the couch and watched Otacon play a game.
"What's this?" Snake asked. "One of your Japanese anime?" Snake snickered.
"Would you shut up about that? It was years ago!" Otacon protested.
"Still funny."
"It's a video game, Snake. A stealth game, so you should be good at it."
Otacon handed Snake the controller, and Snake looked at it as if it were a corpse. Or a copy of 'Snake's Revenge.'
"What?" Otacon asked.
"The hell do I work this thing?" Snake asked.
"The triangle button is the action button, the X controls stance to crouch, stand or lie prone. Tap X while running to have Cobra perform a roll to barrel through enemies or dive over short gaps square, circle reloads, L1 is targeting mode, R1 is the attack button, L2 is the item menu control, and R2 is the weapons menu control."
"In English?"
Otacon sighed. "Press the buttons to see what happens, Snake."
"Like piloting the metal gear?" Snake joked, then pressed the X button. His character immediately stood up, and a exclamation mark appeared over his head. "Is that good?" Snake asked.
"Is it good when an exclamation mark appears over your head?"
"?"
"No, it's not good." Otacon said as the character on the screen was gunned down.
"I could've taken those guys in real life." Snake said.
"Sure." Otacon said sarcastically as the screen said 'COBRA IS DEAD.'
"Cobra? Cobra! COOOOBRAAAA!" The character, Robert Plissken, shouted.
"That's annoying." Snake noted.
"Try again." Otacon said.
Snake turned the game on, and looked at his guy.
"With that bandana, that face, and that beard, this guy is going get a lot of-" Snake began.
"What, G-G-G-Grandpa Snake?" Sunny asked, walking in and generally looking like a cute little girl while being smarter than everyone in the room combined.
"Compliments." Otacon smiled, chuckling.
"Hey, Sunny, can you play this game any better than me?" Snake asked.
"I d-d-don't know, G-G-G-Grandpa Snake." Sunny said.
"Give it a shot."
Sunny did, and beat the level quickly, not killing a single guard, nor getting an alert.
"Big Chief," Snake read. "That's a good score."
"O-O-Okay, Snake." Sunny said.
Snake smiled, patting Sunny on the head with a newfound respect.
