Happy Holidays to All!!!

[A.G.]

I want to take the time to wish all of you a (somewhat late, sorry been busy) Marry Christmas or whatever holiday you celebrate. Happy Holidays! I hope 2010 will be a good year for everyone!

Haha, that is a goofy pic. Pretty frickin' hilarious! Happy New Year to everyone at this point. Question: did anyone boot up MGS4 on Christmas day? If so, did you receive any special messages or easter eggs?

[A.G.]

I didn't. But I'm sure if there was anything of that kind the internet world would've been all over it! ;D

Happy New Year !

That you buddy (the pic) ? Working out i see ^_^

[A.G.]

Yeah, I've been known to lift some weights. ;D Gotta maintain that Russian stereotype.... The Rocky IV one, not the drinking Vodka one. LOL

lil'ol'me ;D



You know, i always wondered what MGS's main characters body strenghts would be, of course consistent with MGS's much more scientifically advanced & 'somewhat' over the top universe. I think that based on certain events and confrontations, each character's body strenght can be more or less accurately determined.

Outside of Grey Fox, ExoSkeleton Solidus and Exoskeleton Raiden which are 'incredibly' strong, the strongest must definitelly be Vamp. He effortlessly lifts Solid Snake (and president Johnson) with a single hand and, more than once goes toe to toe with Ninja Raiden.

Next, in my opinion, would be Volgin. He punches through walls like they were butter and easily lifts with one hand one of the nukes Boss brought as a gift, which if i'm not mistaken, Kojima himself said it weighted more than 75 Kg (165 pounds).

Next, The Boss, the one and only woman in the chart (actually scrap that, there's one more). Her raw strenght is probably almost about the same as Volgins as we see her carry with virtually 'no effort' the two nukes (150 Kg) like they were shopping bags.

Big Boss >>post MGS3<< (maybe in the Peace Walker timeline) could be next in body strenght. In his prime, definitelly stronger than his sons.

Solid, Liquid, Revolver appear to be equally strong. Even as grandpas, Solid and Ocelot are 100% fiber ^_^

RatPT01 Meryl is the second strongest woman. She litterally breaks the table at skandenberg with her 150 kg team mate 'giant' Jonathan. Hell, she may even kick Old Snake's ass, i have no ideea, but she looks very very strong.

So, just for fun, some imaginary bench press numbers (keep in mind that there are a few people in real life that push a little over 400 Kg in this type of exercise):

Vamp - 3 reps @ 650 Kg
Volgin - 3 reps @ 500 Kg
The Boss - 3 reps @ 350 - 400 Kg
Big Boss - 3 reps @ 300 Kg
The Sons - 3 reps @ 250 Kg
Meryl - 1 rep @ 200 Kg

so, there you have it, the most innacurate chart ever ;D

I think you're forgetting Vulcan Raven from MGS1! That was power. I bet he can take Vamp hand to hand.

Yeah, totally forgot about Vulcan. But was he that powerful ? Damn !

[A.G.]

Well, he was handling a vulcan canon from a fighter jet like it was a rifle. Not to mention running around with that giant drup of ammo strapped to his back. I don't know, I think he was stronger then Vamp.
