What if someone got EgoRaptor to support Snake?

He's done both Metal Gear Awesome animations and is a huge fan of the MGS series. Plus, with Game Grumps, he's got a massive following.

Someone do it.


This is a brilliant idea. Is it confirmed that EgoRaptor is big MGS fan? This might be a great way to go.

Q. If your canoe is in a tree with its headlights on, how many pancakes does it take to get to the moon?
A. None. Snakes don't have armpits.

Matt and Pat from Two Best Friends Play are MGS fans, too, if you want to go that route.

Kojima's only been retweeted 20 times so far, entirely plausible that a lot of his reach hasn't been met yet. 215k followers and 20 hours to go.

Are you literally trying to get any potential Snake rallies on reddit automatically taken down? That's just dirty.

It was a lot more than this. This is mostly twitter, which I guess has taken over the internet by now. L-Block was popping up everywhere.

Snake is running out of intake while Draven's getting a second wind. This just isn't a good combination.

He needs more sources of votes.

At first they were shocked with the Hayter/Kojima tweets but now they are using twitter themselves. They were wounded but seem to have rebounded. We at GameFAQs are gonna have to do more

I think the late-night Snake Twitter rallies have been milked dry. We need to find new places for these Snake rallies or the reddit rally will take back over.

Greyfeld is just beyond pathetic there. Wow.


He wants that prize money too badly. Too bad for him that an attitude like that is not how you get things done!

He's 21st on expert and almost everyone above him will bet on Draven winning; he'll get like 10 bucks at most (I didn't even use that when I won it last contest; like everything on Gamestop is more expensive than Amazon!)
