Solid Snake the Third is a Total Badass
To understand the above video, you have to:
1) Know the Metal Gear Solid saga
2) Have watched the original ’70s Lupin the 3rd anime TV series (which actually made it on Adult Swim)
If you meet both those two criteria (or, at least have played an MGS game and are familiar with the character of Lupin) you will find the above video one of the most incredible things you’ve ever watched. For those who haven’t, it’s an breath-taking homage/masterpiece of this 30-year-old Lupin opening sequence, done with what looks like MS Paint to recreate old, old anime. God bless Zach for pointing it out to me.

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.

Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
