(no subject)

Just beat MGS2. The big-picture storyline is a load of hooey, but I still enjoyed all the twists and turns, and always appreciate a few good mind-games played with the audience. (It was 3 a.m. when I got to the creepiest parts last night, and it definitely gave me he existential heebie-jeebies even after going to bed.)

Alas, instead of telling you what rank you achieved at the end, the game gives you a codephrase to enter at Konami's website, and since the game is nearly two years old, that feature has long since bitrotted away. I did, however, read the company's 'Secrets' page for the game, which is exactly the analog of the old Infocom 'AMUSING' post-game debriefing option, listing a whole lot of cute things you may have overlooked. (There's a whole page about different ways to make the main characters sneeze, for example.)

Looking foward to MGS3. Glad it'll be several months away, at least...
