Then you find your girlfriend in lower Manhattan where everyone is just walking around like a 3000-ton mechanized warship didn't just take out the entire neighborhood. The AIs call you and tell you that you performed perfectly, because the whole game was a simulation they devised to find the perfect Solid Snake alternative to infiltrate and kill the President, because the President was going to kill their plans to control the Internet and selectively bias information dispersal to control humanity and promote order, and Snake wasn't going along with their plans. AG crashes into Wall Street (they removed that cutscene because of 9/11), then you fight Snake's long-lost brother/clone who happens to be the former President of the United States and attacks you with mechanical octopus arms. You then fight 100 dudes, then have to fight 30 Metal Gear Rays on the deck of Arsenal Gear. Snake shows up and gives you your gear and a katana. Hm?

Furthermore the PS2 stores applications as disk partitions, so removing applications creates Mac OS9 style heap fragmentation until you compact everything. It's really great, except for the fact that Browser 2.x becomes hilariously slow to scroll through after around 40 games on the drive. Along with a bunch of custom application icons I made for all my games, I have the closest thing to "what if Sony sold PS2 games as downloads." There's a disk image floating around that lets you install an English-modded version of Browser 2.x, which can load applications from the hard disk. I set up my PS2 with a 1TB hard drive and a SATA adapter.
