Metal Gear Solid: The Abridged Snakes is a parody of the Gamecube remake of the original Metal Gear Solid (PS1) known as The Twin Snakes. It began on April 26, 2008 with Episode 0, covering the game's pre-title screen opening along with a small portion of the Briefing footage. Since then, the series has relied mostly upon footage from the in-game cutscenes, utilizing only occasional gameplay footage. The footage used in this series was taken first from YouTube user Hcloud13, then from Episode 6 and onward, Carlitonsp1.
