  I tested MGS2 in PCSX2 1.6.0 on my AMD Ryzen 7 2700X machine (8 cores, 3.7 GHz), and this game finally seems to be emulated in a smooth 60FPS.

  I remember having borrowed this and playing it while living together with Peter Breum and Janne. I don't remember ever completing it.

  I do remember the surprise and confusion when I was suddenly playing as Raiden, and Snake saying his name was Plissken. Ridiculous.

  Found it at Gamestop for 30 DKK. Now I have no excuse to not complete it.

  So, this is the time, 13 years later, to resume playing this great game. I have started a new game on NORMAL difficulty. I defeated Olga Gurlukovich and got Thermal Goggles and a USP.

  First death: wandered into infrared sensor-controlled bomb, after I thought I disabled it.
• [4376]
  Oh, there are *three* sets of IR sensors and Semtex. I get it. And now Snake has a cold.
• [4377]
  A Revolver Ocelot/Liquid Snake hybrid? Seems like a dangerous combination.
• [4378]
  Accomplished Completed Tanker Chapter..
• [4379]
  OK, Raiden, let's see what you can do...
• [4380]
  The oil rig looks amazing. Such great lighting and detail.
• [4381]
  Completed Plant chapter 1/7. Vamp and Fortune ... they sure are some real weirdos.
• [4382]
  Floor reflections, working mirrors, full screen effects, subtle first person camera movement. This game has it all.
