That would be in Metal Gear Solid 5: Phantom Pain when Venom Snake was bitten by a snake (the irony) trying to save one of his subordinates - Quiet. She wakes up after being knocked unconscious by the impact of a tank shell explosion only to find him unresponsive. She cannot speak English because her body contained a contagious parasite that would be activated if she ever spoke any English killing her instantly but their rescuers are radioing them to rendezvous with them. Quiet spoke Russian over the walkie-talkie but the rescuers don't understand. She is forced to speak English to save Venom's life at the cost of her own.

I can see why it'd stick with you. Sometimes when watching what characters in video games are willing to do for each other, I'm like, "why can't I find that IRL?"

Most people are cowardly and self-serving so they always want to receive everything but aren't really willing to give anything in return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alas, I have been that person myself more times than I’d like to admit. You are right, in any case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t get any better at something if you’re not willing to face it. I may have failures, but I try not to let turning a deliberate blind eye to them be one of them. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blackangel Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Ah, I get you now. Sorry I posted that last night in bed around midnight I think, and I was a pretty wasted. So If there's anything that was posted late from me, it's probably not going to make a damn bit of sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a huge fan of burger joints to be honest unless it's a chicken burger and the only place that sells a very delicious one is a fast food chain here in Jamaica called Island Grill.

Didn’t realise you were based in Jamaica. My brother’s fiancee is from Jamaica. Heard that it’s a beautiful country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
