One of the best parts of Metal Gear is when they explain why the vampiric looking character that drinks blood is called "Vamp". It's because he's bisexual.

Well done, Kojima

God, MGS2 was a ride. "Also Vamp was having an affair with the buff blonde black US Marine colonel at the start of the game and now he's with that guy's daughter"

That was when Kojima truly realized that he could do anything he wanted

Or was that when he put an overweight explosives expert on rollerskates and called him 'Fat Man'?

May Kojima never stop being weird

I always figured Fat Man's name was a double entendre for his appearance and a reference to the nuke dropped on Nagasaki. Fitting given he's an overweight explosives guy.

It's definitely a double entendre. But the fact that Kojima was willing to go there is why we love him
