Life Is Stranger When Set To The Metal Gear Solid 3 Theme Song

by Mike Futter on Feb 06, 2015 at 04:10 AM

Ladders have been a factor in gaming since the days of Donkey Kong and BurgerTime, but it wasn’t until Metal Gear Solid 3 that they really started to pop. One of the most iconic scenes of the PlayStation 2 era featured Naked Snake wearily ascending what seems like a miles-long ladder.

Now, the super soldier has competition. YouTube user Nick Robinson has taken Cynthia Harrell’s performance of Snake Eater, the  title song from Metal Gear Solid 3, and set it against something a bit more mundane.

The scene in the video above is from Dontnod’s recently released Life is Strange. In the game, protagonist Max can rewind time to change events. In this case, Robinson rewound time to give us a thrill.
