Yep, I'm surprised by the quality of this fic, in my experinece most cross-overs are shit.

A nice change from the norm

5/5

 

Then why introduce the guy when Harry's 8? It just adds a bunch of bullshit I don't want to read. If the author wanted to keep everything the same as canon with simply an extra character untill Harry's second year then he should have made this a post-CoS fic, instead of starting it when Harry's still at the Dursleys and hasn't heard of magic yet, IMO.

 

...

Did you think at all? Sure, a twelve year old will just hop all willy-nilly into van with some scarred up dude wearing an trenchcoat and eye-patch, happens all the time really.

He introduced him at an early age so that (to me at least) Harry could develop a bond of trust with him, even if it was after CoS Harry would have been a wee bit suspcious of him just showing up outa the blue after he defeated Voldy again.

That and do you honestly seeing anyone but an attention starved little kid even going near a guy that looks like a cheap comic book villan? And even then its stressing it.

 

One so intimidating that, according to Harry, he could make "a rock surrender out of fright" and have "lions begging for mercy at the sight of him" none the less...

Lets be honest, Big Boss is the person who Moody wanted to be when he grew up...

 

Can you see an eleven year-old Harry saying:

"Fuck you, Dumbledore! I'm leaving, you manipulative old bastard, and your bloody snake-human hybrid fetish!"

 

I give it a 4/5.

 

No, I see an 11 year old being "Ohh... you said a dirty word!"

What some people forget is that teen angst and teenage argumenitive behaviour come with the hormones. You're not going to have it until atleast 4th or 5th year.

 

I just read it now, and despite the WTF?! title, this story is awesome.

I don't know anything about metal gear solid, but the author explained it well.

The basic premise of this story is that some paranoid commander who is related to Vernon finds Harry and helps him out bit...

What are the patriots? Anyone know metal gear solid can explain this to me?

And something to help out on "who's big boss?"

ok i'll leaf through them later.

 

Now THAT is true DLP style.

EDIT:

Hardcore motherfuckers ftw!

 

What a retarded post. You're telling me that Harry wouldn't take training from the only realative of his which he cares about and trusts? If he told Harry not to trust Dumbledore, he wouldn't, period. Because despite not seeing him very often, this fic clearly shows that he is the only one who cares about Harry and the only one who Harry cares about in return. Stop making excuses for the author, jesus.

 

Stalicon was trying to make a comment about somone posting about making it a post 2nd-year AU story . If it was was post 2nd year, it means that everything before then was cannon, which means that Harry wouldn't know this guy, which means he would be a total stranger. He wasn't trying to diss the story, but trying to show flaw in the post 2nd year statement.

 

Wow, what a stupid way to get back at my post, by proving me right. Thanks. Next time get your story straight.

 

What the fuck are you talking about, moron? I was showing that it was stupid to follow canon exactly the same for the first and second year, instead of either starting training pre-hogwarts or not even introducing the guy untill post-CoS, proving my point for my first post.

 

The title should be changed, the story is really good. The title is the bad thing.
I will give it a 4/5.

 

I was AGREEING with you, dumbass.

Everyone else has made the counerpoint yet your too damn pigheaded to realize it. Not everything happens that quickly, and really, stop your mindless bitching. Its not like he rewrote it all except the parts where Big Boss was involved himself.

 

PsyckoSama, that post wasn't aimed toward you. Sorry if I didn't make that clear. I got excited and didn't write it very well.

 

Alrighty then. Sorry I called you a dumbass.
