Metal Gear has been a mainstay of my childhood for the better half of it. It has helped me develop both my political and philisophical views in life. It has educated me in how to think critically and objectively examine situations in real life. It has also made me more patient with things and people. These games have effected me on an emotional level, and on a logical level. No other franchise has come close to this. Games like the walking dead:season one, and the Last of us, have touched me, but i never walked away with anything substantial, but not Metal Gear. It makes me laugh, and makes me cry. It makes me calm 'and it makes me angry. Metal Gear is so unique within the realm of entertainment and shows what no ther medium can accomplish. Investment, emotional investment,and Logical challenge. I find that human language is incapable of materialising a word to describe this franchise. It has helped turn me into a better person. Metal Gear is just so amazing. I find the word love is overused with material things but i genuinly love metal gear. Metal Gear has encouraged me to grab life by the horns and really do good in life. I used to be a truent,and failing Kid. Now I am approaching adulthood and looking back i realize metal gear motivated me so much to try to do the right thing for myself and those around me. Words cannot describe how heavily these games have effected me. I am now passing school and writing a novel. Thanks to metal gear and how it inspired me.

Am i alone on this, or has metal gear effected anyone else in a similar fashion?
