We're only up to the beginning of Raiden's section at this point, and here's what I think of it so far: * The opening sequence is gorgeous. * Otacon, when did you get this bossy? And how on earth did you pass enough English classes to get far enough in the educational system to get a doctorate?

Watched "Escape From New York" yesterday with pukingtoreador . I enjoyed it, and it wasn't quite what I expected (slower paced, and less of an over the top testosterone fest).
