Unlikely. His man-musk is so glorious that he requires no alterations to his personal aroma.

Very nice, until Axe's strong odor gives away Snake's position. Product placement kills.

That's why he doesn't use the spray. He uses the SOLID deodorant.

Did you know that Snake doesn't consider it sex if the woman lives?... Or is that Chuck Norris?, I'm not entirely sure which.

It's simple.
Snake is Captain Falcon who is Mr. T who is Vin Diesel who is Chuck Norris who is Jesus who is everyone and no-one at the same time.

You act as if Hideo Kojima actually tries to make up a reason to have more money in the first place.

.....Or that Kojima has enough sanity left to come up with a reason.

His games are good, but the guy just seems nuts to me.

He wasn't nuts enough to allow Uwe Boll to make a movie about Metal Gear Solid though, so maybe he has a shred of sanity left.
