Metal Gear Wiki Talk:Did You Know?/archive 1

Since I suggested this I'm happy to take responsibility of making sure this gets updated regularly. I think a great source for some of these facts will be the Similarities Between Games article so I'll probably put some up here soon. --Drawde83 03:09, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

 * -Selo 22:27, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

might have to double check some of those. yeah that raiden one sounds good. We have enough for a week so I'll create the templates for them. --Drawde83 06:57, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Something we could do is to have a MGS4 themed facts week for the week it gets released. theres a few red links in the templates (although not for the first day) so feel free to link them to actual articles.--Drawde83 23:54, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

heres some MGS4 facts --Drawde83 07:48, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Metal Gear Mk. II also appears in another Hideo Kojima game, Snatcher.
 * The members of Rat Patrol take their names from characters in Policenauts another game by Hideo Kojima.

If you're gonna use the PMC, you should also reference the mercenaries in MGS2. It's basically the reason you couldn't use the enemies weapons, so you couldn't just blast through the places. --Maverick King 00:33, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Thats enough for next week. but it would be great if we had more than that so there is more choice. It would be great if we could come up with a better way of doing this. Ideally some way to build up a pool of facts that havn't been selected yet, those that may be used in the next week and those that have been used before. --Drawde83 02:21, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Here's one that not many people know about:
