Theory: Skull Face found in MGS3? Dr. Clark’s role in MGSV

Skull Face and Dr. Clark

(The original picture — which I’ve edited to include names — and this theory, both come directly from this SnakeSoup post by member Gentapo, so give that guy credit (or ridicule) for connecting the dot.)

Below are my thoughts on its plausibility and implications.  I miss the days of longshot Metal Gear theories and rampant speculation, so now I’m going to indulge…!

Sold Out 12

(Click here to start reading!)

After an extremely long hiatus, I present the 13th installment of MGS4: Sold Out!  This one deals with the changed dynamic between Solid Snake and Meryl Silverburgh.

This happened the day before the VGX awards… Coincidence?  Hinting?  Or consequence?

I changed history folks.  That’s one less “Game of the Year” accolade to slap on the back of The Last of Us box, and one less pillar to uphold the neofeminist crusade.  We all know that VGX awards are the highest authority, after all… Ha ha.

VGX gave The Last of Us three awards. (Best Voice Actor, Best Voice Actress, and Best PlayStation Game.)  That’s only one award short of my prediction, which means if they had given it “Game of the Year”, my prediction would have been correct!  Spooky.

(For those who weren’t paying attention, Grand Theft Auto V won their “Game of the Year” award, which fake intellectuals and insecure liberals are trying to condemn, despite being a crowning achievement of production, game design, and yes, even writing this generation.  I may have to explain why in a separate post some time.)
