Two new games made the list of Xbox One backward compatible titles. And they’re magnificent.

Both Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty HD and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater HD are now officially playable on the Xbox One and Xbox One X. If you have the physical copy of legendary titles, you can plug them into your console and start another epic espionage adventure. Both games were released as a set as part of the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, which was released in 2011.

A tweet by Larry Hryb “The Xbox Guy” sparked the news:

This set is the second HD collection released by Konami that made the Xbox One backward compatibility list within the past few months. The other collection was the Silent Hill HD Collection which becomes available for backward compatible play back in July.

Now that Konami has two sets of HD collections available on the Xbox One, players can get those nostalgic feels once again. And for players who’ve never played- you now have a chance to redeem yourself on playing Konami’s top-tier games.

You can see the full list of backward compatible games here.

Funny how this news comes out just after yesterday when Solid Snake (David Hayter) told Vinny of Vinesauce to “squeeze my hog.”

David Hayter, a voice actor known for his work as Solid Snake from the Metal Gear series has done something spectacular to please his fans. He’s always had a sleek and cool demeanor towards his fans, as you can see from his Twitter account, has honored one of the Metal Gear community’s ridiculous requests.

This time around, he says the line that was popularized by Vincent Jabroni (AKA Vinny). Vinny, a popular Twitch streamer and founder of Vinesauce, received the following line from Hayter:

“Vinny, this is Solid Snake. I’m told that you play a lot of Metal Gear games, and that you’ve devleoped a joke of telling Raiden to ‘squeeze your hog.'”

“So, I only have one thing to say.”

“Raiden, squeeze my hog!”

This was apparently paid by Twitter users Lorelei and Round of Apology. The phrase “squeeze my hog” was made popular by Vinny through his stream. After Vinny heard the line, he laughed and made some remarks. You can see the event in the attached clip here.

Vinny did make sure that the line wasn’t coming from an inappropriate standpoint:

“It wasn’t gross, like I wanted Raiden to squeeze Snake’s hog, like yeah.”

“No, it was much more innocent than that.”

Hayter did have a pleasant time reciting the line, even if it was paid for. He found some humor in it and you can tell because he had trouble holding down his laughter. Vinny laughed simultaneously at that portion of the clip. Vinny replies:

“He’s got a good sense of humor about himself.”

This meme has now been solidified on the interwebs and is forever a part of Metal Gear history. The clip has gone viral with over 220K views at the time of this writing.
