I've never played a Metal Gear game because I figured that it was some military glazing action movie wannabe with a couple of wacky memeable moments here and there.

Well I was watching a someone play through the original and this shit actually seems right up my alley. It's way, way goofier and less chuddy than I expected. It is very action movie, but it happens to mimic the style of the only type of action movie I like. The type that is so over the top and silly that you wonder if it's taking itself seriously or not. Like Escape from New York in game form.

I can pirate legally acquire literally every game in the series easily, But where should I even start? There's like a million of these games and remakes. Should I start with NES game? Metal Gear Solid PS1 or Twin Snakes? Which ones are skippable? What the hell is a Revengeance?!

I love that movie. That's the one where Kurt Russel wears an eyepatch and surfs on a giant wave through New York, right? If so I'm guessing Kojima or whoever designed Solid Snake was a big fan because Kurt Russels character was called Snake in that, had a mullet and I'm pretty sure Punished Snake wears an eyepatch like that character at some point.
