Gaming’s Whacked Out Week: April Fools Brings Us Metal Gear Airsoft

On them thar interwebs, April Fools is a dangerous day. You don’t want to take anything you read online too seriously. A lot of it’s much more subtle than those photos of ‘spaghetti trees’ I once saw, and it’s easy to be deceived.

It’s even easier to deny like a bastard that you ever were deceived, and insist that you were merely playing along with the joke, natch.

But nuts to all of that. Sometimes, in the name of April 1, something comes along that we really, really effing want to be real. Like we used to with Santa, the Easter Bunny, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wankery, that sort of stuff. We want to believe, damn it, and we need to believe.

One such thing that cropped up in this year’s April Fools snarkathon is Metal Gear Airsoft. As fans will know, a cardboard box is the most potent tool in Snake’s stealthy arsenal, so it should be perfect for a little real-life sneaky guntastic as well. Check out this perfectly camouflaged dude:
