I forget exactly why, but a while back, Anthony and I procured most of the books in the Worlds of Power series. For those of you who are unfamiliar, they were a set of Nintendo videogame novelizations that came out during the 80s. As you can probably guess, they're bad, but enjoyable in a weird way. Reading one is like seeing an alternate game universe where things are just slightly off.
So, this month, I thought it would be cool to share the Worlds of Power version of the original Metal Gear's story with all of you. Of course, this is only an abridged version (to keep it from being several hours long), but we pretty much picked out all the best parts for you.
As always, you can watch the episode over at Gametrailers. See how author F.X. Nine's vision of the Metal Gear world compares to the game, and laugh as Solid Snack... er, Snake, does silly things!

What the hell is wrong with GameTrailers users by the way?
Schrabowitz
This is unoriginal and disgusting you stole the idea from avgn
Hey did you know that apparently Gametrailers demands that no one be allowed to read from the same book series as the angry video game nerd.
I say this every week man. FUCK GAMETRAILERS
In regards to the James Rolfe's reading of the Mega Man words of power, while I respect the man greatly, someone reading a lame book for and hour and nineteen minutes is a little much. I like how this one cut around a lot of the fluff, and as always, the art was great.
Also, Cataffy is possibly the lame attempt to put a historical military leader in a game without using his real name, ever.
Also, the Katamari and Silent Hill episodes are classics.
Guys, for Christ's sake, Gametrailers is an awesome site for a number of reasons:
1. It has trailers, obviously;
2. Original content like reviews, GT TV, interviews, Invisible walls, etc;
3. Thanks to Gt I've discovered awesomeness which is Destructoid;
4. Weird and scary stalker comments regarding Ashley Burch.
Gametrailers has fucking huge audience, therefore there are a lot of fucked up kids, trolls and mentally unstable people such as myself. And that's ok. What's really important here, is that because of the great audience more people can watch Once Upon a Pixel and HAWP. So stop with that "fuck gt" bullshit. Fuck ignorant trolls, not Gt.
Be reasonable, kids, don't let that troll fog spoil your impression about that site, you gotta see through shit. If you can't, then smoke some pot and try harder.
Keep up the good work, Ashley.
There is a reason why I used the word "users".
I realise that. In fact although I say fuck GameTrailers I thought it was obvious that I was insulting the community rather than the actual content. If I hated the content it would be stupid to continue watching all this stuff every week. I say the same about Youtube as well even though I use it on a daily basis I dislike pretty much every other person on that site.
