Real life Solid Snake found
Here’s a bit of time for some comedy. The real life Solid Snake has been found… finally after years of hiding, here he is.
How close is that? Very. One of the Official Australian PlayStation magazine readers, Mr. Alistair Richardson, recently found himself the presence of the man and, as you can see from the above image, hes the real Solid Snake!
Gameplayer.com.au managed to meet the Mr. Richardson and Mr.Richardson says:
Hi my name is Alastair. I own a PS3 and have owned a PlayStation since the PSX. I bought my own PSX back in about 1998, I was young and had to save hard because my folks were against gaming and television and all that commercial stuff that came on the “Idiot Box” as dad called it.
So against my parent’s ideals I bought my first PlayStation and was the happiest kid on Earth. I had a small collection of games including Driver, Soul Reaver and Metal Gear Solid. Now that brings me to the interesting part.
Metal Gear Solid - or more to the point MGS4: Guns of the Patriots. I have a brother and he got married recently, so I was at the wedding and there were lots of family members about, some of which I had not seen for years. One man in particular caught my attention. An uncle of mine that had aged considerably since I last saw him - maybe more than ten years prior. I looked at him and thought “I recognise that face and not just as the face of my aged uncle.” Then it dawned on me and I found myself thinking “Snake……. Solid Snake?……Snake….What happened…………. Snake………… SSNNNAAAAAKE!”
I had my camera with me and snapped a few shots. So there you have it! Solid Snake in real life! I thought he was a carpenter, but it looks like my uncle is a badass stealth killer.
So there we have it, a Solid Snake fan that looks just like the man himself.
