Hey guys/girls.If any of you have seen or have the 1981 classic movie "Escape From New York"starring Kurt Russell.Watch the part where Snake lands on the tower with his glider when he first eneters New York,when the Glider lands and goes a little off the edge of the building you will see what looks to be like the Atari logo on the tower. Its also interesting to note that the creator of the "Metal Gear"series Hideo Kojima-San is a big movie buff and got some insperation from "Escape From New York"for his video game character "Solid Snake", from the "Escape From New York" Snake,such as the long hair, deep voice and name. :D

Kurt Russel's character in Escape from NY is Snake Plisskin. When Snake infiltrates the oil rig in MGS2, his fake identity is Plisskin. Just thought I'd toss in my .02

That is so true.Mr.Kojima-san has a lot of easter eggs in his "Metal Gear Solid"games. :D

Soo desu ne. Kojima-san wa totemo ii desu. Watashi wa Kojima-san suki desu.
i hope these sentences make at least a little sense (i started learning japanese a few days ago hehe)

If you really want some Kurt Russell gaming cred, mention Big Trouble In Little China and Mortal Kombat in the same sentence.

Except that that movie came out WAY BEFORE Mortal Kombat did.

Our bass player is a HUGE Big Trouble In Little China fan. So much so that one of our songs is called SONOVABITCHMUSTPAY because of the quote in the movie.

wasuranai = wasuru arimasen. nai is the less formail version of arimasen that they don't teach you until 2nd year for some ungodly reason. Boku = watashi. de = desu.

wasuranai = wasuru arimasen.
Right, and IIRC, wasuru = "to forget"
nai is the less formail version of arimasen that they don't teach you until 2nd year for some ungodly reason.
It's so the root of your knowledge is the polite form so you don't insult anyone! :-)
Shiturei shimasu!
