Metal Gear Solid

Metal Gear Solid: The Best Metal Gear Game by Sayed Islam
Metal Gear Solid was released in 1998 and is notoriously known by many as the greatest Metal Gear game. Instead of playing a flat 2 dimension game, this game was Konami's first foray at making a Metal Gear game that was in 3 dimensions.Just like the previous iterations of the series, Metal Gear Solid was a tactical espionage action game with an emphasis on stealth. The game occurs in 2005, and Foxhound is now a terrorist organization that has no affiliation with Roy Campbell and Solid Snake. Foxhound's intentions are to launch a nuclear attack if their demands are not met. Their headquarters are in a remote island called Shadow Moses (somewhere in Alaska). Roy and Dr. Naomi Hunter (colleague of Roy Campbell) begs Snake to assist in eradicating the terrorist threat. Snakes goes to Alaska and begins his mission; his first objective is to find the DARPA chief (Donald Anderson) and Arms Tech president (Kenneth Baker). Our hero tracks down Donald, and Mr. Anderson informs Snake that another Metal Gear is under construction. Donald also tells Snake about a way to deactivate Metal Gear that entails PAL codes, and then the chief dies from a heart attack. Snake resumes his objective and come across Kenneth Baker (who is being held hostage by Revolver Ocelot). Revolver has placed wires connected to explosives that are set to detonate. Snake manages to rescue Baker and severely injure Ocelot but no kill Ocelot due to an esoteric ninja. The ninja slices Ocelots hand, cuts the wires that are attached to the explosives, and flees. Too wounded to fight, Ocelot run offs as well. After that, Snake has a succinct conversation with Kenneth who also dies of a heart attack (eerily similar to Donald's death). On his way to find Otacon, Snake encounters Vulcan Raven in a tank; Snake destroys the tank and heads towards Shadow Moses nuclear disposal area. As Snake reaches Otacon, he sees the ninja again. The ninja divulges to Snake that he is Gray Fox (Snake's former comrade from Foxhound). They have a melee, and the ninja (Gray Fox) runs away again. Snake discovers Otacon (creator of Metal Gear) and asks him to help in destroying Metal Gear. Realizing that Metal Gear will be used as a weapon that is a threat, Otacon concurs to assist Snake. Meryl (Roy Campbell's daughter) finds Snake, and she teams up with Snake. Unfortunately, they are sniped by Sniper Wolf. Meryl gets injured, but Snake figures out how to beat Sniper Wolf at her own game and does. Snake is then captured by soldiers and Sniper Wolf (who did not die); Ocelot comes back in the picture and torments Snake by electrocution. Fortunately, Snake escapes and recovers his gear. Undesirably, Snake is attacked by the leader of Foxhound (Liquid Snake) in a helicopter. But Snake shoots the helicopter multiple times with a stinger missile launcher to annihilate it. Snakes goes on to fight Sniper Wolf and Vulcan Raven again, and Snake exterminates both of them for good. Knowing that Raven's death was inevitable, Raven reveals to Snake that the DARPA chief was really Decoy Octopus in disguise.Afterwards, Dr. Naomi and Snake have a conversation via codec in which she tells Snake that she has injected him with a virus known as Foxdie. This revelation explains why Decoy Octopus and Kenneth Baker died when they were in contact with Snake. Naomi admits she did it because she is the step sister of Gray Fox and wants revenge for Snake's actions. Feeling remorseful, she apologizes to Snake and acknowledges that she has no desire to kill Snake. Recognizing that he must complete his mission, Snake finally reaches the hanger where Metal Gear is being kept. He attempts to defuse Metal Gear; however, he unintentionally makes it active. Much to Snake's chagrin, Liquid arrives yet again. Liquid notifies Snake that he was being used to trigger Metal Gear and tells Snake that they were twins who were part of the "Les Enfants Terribles" project; furthermore, Liquid says how this was a project intended to clone another Big Boss. Snake hears that he is the superior dominant twin, and Liquid is the inferior recessive twin. When their prolonged conversation comes to an end, Liquid jumps in the cockpit of Metal Gear and attempts to kill Snake. Since Snake is unsure how to put an end to Metal Gear, Otacon helps him via codec. As the long and arduous battle continues, Gray Fox appears and supports Snake in demolishing Metal Gear. Sadly, Gray Fox is killed in the process. Before dying, Gray Fox has a poignant moment with Snake and discloses to Snake that the ninja suit gave him a split personality. Liquid somehow survives the Metal Gear fiasco and challenges Snake to another fight in which Snake is triumphant. Later on, Snake sees Meryl and together escape from Liquid (yes he is still alive) in a climactic car chase action sequence. Their vehicles collide, and Liquid dies at the hand of the Foxdie virus. Knowing that he could die at any moment, Snake and Meryl get on a snowmobile to depart from Alaska. After the credits scroll across the screen, it is revealed that Revolver Ocelot is still alive and plans on giving the Metal Gear Solid data (from Kenneth Baker) to a man named Solidus.

Free Gambling Advice And Tips by Fawzia Awwad


Roulette is a very popular game of gambling that can be seen in every casino, whether Internet or land based. I used to play Roulette at a regular land based casino, but in more recent months, I started playing online. In the tricky game of Roulette, the ball, once spun, leaps around the table until it finds its resting place in one of the roulette sections. If you can predict the results of where the ball may possibly land, you can almost guarantee that you will rake in the profits. Right now, I am going to explore the exciting game of Roulette, and offer a few how to win tips.

If you want to win more often when playing Roulette, I recommend playing the European version of the game. There are a total of 37 results on the European Roulette table. On the American Roulette table, however, there are a total of thirty eight numbers, which instantly put the player at a larger disadvantage. Looking at the roulette table, you can see that its almost impossible to beat the casinos. Almost impossible, however, not absolutely impossible. There is no way to guarantee future Roulette results, however, common sense lets us know that probability works in a lot of different ways. In these varied ways, luck can work to our advantage to help us achieve the desired results. By turning probability into our friend, as opposed to our mortal enemy, we can expect to win a lot more often.

"You can't win at Roulette", my buddy Scott would say to me, "it's completely random because any number could come up". Sure, Scott certainly has a point, but he is also missing a big part of the picture. How often does red or black come up 11 times in a row? How often does odd appear ten times in a row? How often does 27 appear two or three times in a row? Even probability has its errors and isn't always completely unpredictable. How else can you increase your chances of winning at Roulette? Here are a tips:

1) Focus And Keep Track Of Patterns

If red or black begin appearing 6 times in a row, then maybe it is time to start betting on the opposite colour. At the same time, if odd has appeared 7 times in a row, then maybe it is time to begin betting on even. Keep an eye on the trends that appear, because even though luck is unpredictable, it is also predictable and more likely in some circumstances.

2) Set A Budget

As in any game of luck, the key to roulette is knowing when to stop betting and get up from the table. If you win $200, or lose 50 dollars, the key to success is knowing when to stop. Otherwise you will never win any money, and you will surely .lose a lot more than you can afford.

3) Start With A Free Starting Bonus

Almost all Internet casinos give players a starting bonus just for opening up a players account to gamble. This puts the player at a greater advantage than gambling at a standard land casino, which offers no welcome bonuses. Why not begin gambling with a complimentary $200 bonus from the casinos? Its certainly an offer that is hard to refuse.

I hope that you found this article to be helpful and handy. In any game of luck or skill, practice is certainly the key to success. Absorb as much as you can about the game of Roulette, and practice playing for free until you feel confident enough to begin betting with real cash. Online casinos have changed the way many people place bets and gamble, and with large cash bonuses, great customer service, and safe and secure websites, I can certainly understand the reasons why.
