Lenas, I figured as much, which is why I've been stun-killing instead of actual killing. I just don't have something to compare it to, was curious if people who are kill-killing are getting the same items I am.

Ham, in his interviews, the voice actor, David Hayter, was saying that it was purposeful that he put on a very gruff, throaty voice. It sounds almost as if he's a parody of his own character (arguably, Hayter has been doing so since MGS2), but the idea was that Snake is at the end of his life, and things as simple as speaking have become grueling tasks. I miss Solid Snake as he used to be. It's heartwrenching to see him all shriveled up like that..

Solid Snake as a young soldier extraordinaire in MGS1 is bound to the time in your life that you originally played or observed the game, or at least the frame of mind that you put yourself in while playing. I imagine Kojima wanted to recreate the same kind of attachment people have to famous actors who are immortalized and recognizable for their work in their younger years, but along with their admirers, are getting old and eventually dying. People find these connections in all kinds of different things - actors, pets, cities, and now fictional video game characters.
