Metal Gear Solid 2: Snake and Otacon high-five


Metal Gear Solid 2 is a bizarre game, but for the most part, its silliness and jokes are intentional, and well-delivered. Then, there's this high-five scene between Snake and Otacon.

Snake sends in Otacon, who's still grieving over his sister's death, to rescue hostages. Once Otacon agrees, the two part ways with a bit of unexpected male bonding. In a scene that had to leave gamers everywhere staring at their screens wondering what they just saw, the gruff super-soldier and awkward scientist high-five. But not just any high-five — they do a weird, elaborate high-five they had to have practiced many times before: alternating back-hand slaps, fists interlocking in an arm-wrestling pose, and finally a big bro hug that, for lack of a better term, lingers. Imagine watching 24 and Jack Bauer chest-bumps President Palmer in the middle of a mission — it's basically that.

In the background, you can see Raiden staring at them, like he too is wondering what in the world is happening. When the Poochie of MSG2 thinks something is ridiculous, it probably is.
