Metal Gear Solid is known for its secrets and Easter Eggs. Creator Hideo Kojima loves to throw players for a loop, a knack which was apparent even in the 1998 PlayStation entry. But aside from all the intentionally-laid secrets, there are few even Kojima didn't want players to find.

In this week's episode of Boundary Break, Youtuber Shesez dives into the early 3D masterpiece. Learn how puddles are actually holes, what actually happens when Meryl steals Johnny Sasaki's uniform, and how the tunnel in the escape sequence is more of a treadmill. This episode also features voice work from Solid Snake actor David Hayter, who reprises his role after being replaced by Keifer Sutherland for Metal Gear Solid V.
