April Fool's Alert #8: VG Cats gets a makeover ... Metal GEAR?!

by Ross Miller { Apr 1st 2007 at 5:05PM }

Scott Ramsoomair's VG Cats has a new page: a Metal Gear Solid MySpace profile for "David" Snake (screen name solidsnake34). Some of the jokes are subtle; we recommend a viewing or two of Metal Gear Awesome for some clarity. (MGA may in fact not help at all, but we still recommend viewing it for a few chortles.)

In case you're wondering and are too lazy to do some minor investigation, every link on the page directs you to VG Cats' real index. If you're viewing this after April 1, the page may be gone; feel free to use this gallery below as a time capsule for the event.

Are there any galleries that act as a time capsule for when VG Cats was funny?

Cute, although I have to play the role of Accuracy Police here: you can't put comments on the MySpace page of someone who isn't already your friend, so the joke doesn't really make sense.

Heh, you guys should check out www.fireball20xl.com, Scott bought them out :O

Well, to twist it another way, notice how Raiden isn't in Snake's "Top Friends."
