By the way, I really appreciate that highly subtle MGS2 reference you made in your vid.
Er... what reference?

Er... the whole "FISSION MUCKING ACCOMPLISHED" message in the twing-twang part?
(I was expecting to have to point it out to someone since it's so easy to miss... but you?)

Yeah, you can. And you get to feel really smug at noticing something so subtle that the creator didn't even intend it. Of course, you also get to be mocked for reading too much into things.

Either Yahtzee did make it, or its an extremely uncanny coincidence of a similarity to a specific video game in a video game review, or else Yahtzee just came across the term second hand in a forum or someplace, which, if Yahtzee genuinely didn't mean it as a MGS2 thing, is probably the most likely explanation.
Either way, I'm sure people who haven't had the pleasure of reading this thread are giggling over it.

But yes, regardless of where he got the idea, it is funny.

Punts are not for kissing.
Or indeed, many phrases including words that end in -unt/s. Or -uxom.
