So I've been playing Metal Gear Solid 3 (a game that I've had for a while but never actually beat). I recently saved my game sitting in a prison cell, but when I load it up today, that's not even close to what happens. Instead, I find myself controlling some weird guy in a cloak carrying some weird swords and, with a totally different gameplay system COMPLETELY, I end up going all crazy action game like Devil May Cry or something all over some vampire policemen in a warehouse, until I end up transforming into some devil mode and kicking all sorts of crazy arse. The thing is, it just totally caught me off guard. "WHY IS THIS THE GAME I'M PLAYING? THIS MAKES NO SENSE! AAAACK!" and yes I pick up on the controls pretty quickly. And then after a while, I wake up, and it turns out Snake was having some vampire nightmare just like he told Para-Medic he would if he was told about vampires before he went to sleep. That has GOT to be the most elaborate in-game joke I've ever seen, and it would also make for a fun action game in it's own right.
I mean seriously, what on earth?

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
