Everyone loves a good Christmas story. Who can forget the classics?Ralphie’s questto get an official Red Ryder BB Gun,Clark Griswold’s yearningfor an unforgettable Christmas, Solid Snake’smission to stop nuclear war.Wait a second, that last one doesn’t sound right.If you’ve ever wanted a (somewhat) authenticÂMetal GearChristmas story, you’re in luck. Earlier this week,Cam Clarke(the voice of Liquid Snake)posted a video on YouTubeof aÂMetal Gear-inspired take on the classic poem “The Night Before Christmas”. Offering die-hardÂMetal GearÂfans a real Christmas treat, Clarke is joined bynone other thanDavid Hayter, the original voice of Solid Snake.
Hayter begins the Christmas poem in trueMetal Gearfashion, stating, “Twas the night before Christmas all through Mother Base, not a Genome was stirring, not even Skull Face.” Clarke then chimes in, “My weapons were hung by the bedside with care, in hopes that Roy Campbell soon would be there.” Hayter and Clarke continue to go back and forth, offering a pleasant, lore-filled exchange with one another.
This isn’t the first time Hayter’s reprised the role of Solid Snake. Throughout recent years, Hayter has kept busy sinceparting wayswith theMetal GearÂfranchise,appearing in car commercialsand lending his voice to games likeÂSuper Bomberman R. Most recently, Hayter’s Solid Snake returned inÂSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate,Âmarking the return of everyone’s favoriteÂMetal Gearcharacter to theÂSmashfranchise.
While it’s fun to watch Clark and Hayter pal around, the duo’s video makes me wonder what a legit Hideo Kojima Christmas movie would look like. It would be great to see apregnantSanta Claus (portrayed byNorman Reedus) stop a false-flag attack against the Santa’s elves. Except, at the end of the movie, it’s revealed that Santa Claus is actually a clone of Mrs. Claus. Actually, I need some time to workshop this. Give me about 100 hours to catch up onÂMetal Gearlore and I’ll get back to you.
