All games need conflict. Most of the time the player’s objective is blocked by several thousand faceless, nameless mooks throwing themselves in the path of danger with all the fervor of a headless chicken. But behind those mooks lies the antagonist, the figure that has been working against the hero all along. The best rivalry showdowns are between two solitary figures, foils of one another. These are the kinds of rivalries the player waits the entire game (or series) to settle once and for all. Here are some of the best one-on-one showdowns in gaming history.

7. Solid Snake vs. Liquid Snake in Metal Gear Solid

Cut from the same cloth—or rather, grown from the same Petri dish—Solid and Liquid are both clones of the same super-soldier. Liquid Snake was created from all the best aspects of the cold-war hero Big Boss, while Solid Snake was made from the inferior genes of the same man. However, because the American government couldn’t justify keeping a soldier with such a sinister British accent on staff, Solid Snake became the series’ hero, and the perfect-on-paper Liquid was kept from his birthright. Believing himself to be the genetically weak twin, Liquid’s inferiority complex drives him to do what any of us would, take over a secret Alaskan military base and hijack a doomsday device.

Snake (the solid one) must wind his way through Liquid’s facility, defeat an animal-themed squad of super soldiers and disarm Metal Gear, a nuclear-powered robot T-Rex (did I mention this was a Japanese game?). But before Snake can hang up his skin-tight rubber jumpsuit and call it a night, the two rivals settle their dispute the way they both knew they inevitably had to: a man-to-man fist-fight on the head of a metallic dinosaur’s corpse. Never change, Japan.

The Bruiser Weight, Maze – Pitt Exclusive Interview

The Bruiser Weight, Maze

by SnowMan Jones
I recently had a moment to sit down with independent wrestler Maze.  Coined the Bruiser Weight, Maze runs Ultimate Wrestling’s school, and is one of the most noteworthy wrestlers on the Gulf Coast of Florida.

Thanks for doing this interview with  http://www.MarcusPitt.com

How are you doing today? I’m doing great

Can you tell us a little about yourself? What is your name? Where do you wrestle? What basic height and weight or other stats would you like to share? I am “The Bruiser Weight” Maze and I wrestler for Ultimate Wrestling in Pensacola fl. I am the current Cruiser Weight Champ and the only 3x Cruiser Weight Champion in UW history. I am also the head trainer at that UW training camp. My height and weight are not important as I beat the holy hell out of anyone that gets in my way.

How can a promoter book you, and in what areas do you primarily wrestle? I can be book through my facebook page or through http://www.ultimatewrestling.org . You can also email me at neweramaze@yahoo.com for booking info. I mainly stay in the Gulf Coast but are open to other areas if my time permits.

How did you break into wrestling? Who trained you, and what was your first year like? I had some experience in Pro Wrestling back in NY with some free seminars and one of those being Larry Sharpes Monster Factory, but I got my real start with Bobby Dolls Pensacola Wrestling Alliance. So I was trained by one of the Gulf Coasts finest. My first year was great, I had some great battles with my old tag team partner Justin Cruze(formally of New Era) Cruze and I won our first tag team titles within our first year if my memory is correct.

Who do you enjoy wrestling the most? I used to enjoy wrestling Cruze when we were not getting along because we brought out the best in eachother and really put on some great matches, which a few were posted on shot of the week and we also got match of the year for our TLC match.

What are the biggest names that you have wrestled? Well I was on the same team as Scott Armstrong and have been involved in shows with Rick Steiner, Buff Bagwell, Paul Bearer, Raven, One Man Gang, Gangrel and Luna, theres more in there somewhere but I cannot think of them. I had a great match with Steven Anthony.

So can you tell us about any injuries you have had that are wrestling related? I have a back defect known as PARS defect(google it) its something with my vertebrae. Here is the defenition I guess….Spondylolysis is a defect of a vertebra. The great majority of cases occur in the lowest of the lumbar vertebrae (L5), but spondylolysis may also occur in the other lumbar vertebrae, as well as in the thoracic vertebrae.

What wrestlers did you enjoy watching as a kid? Did you use them as role models in your career? I enjoyed watching the Rockers as my brother and I always emulated them. My brother had to be Shawn Michaels because his middle name is Michael and of course I had to be Marty..(not that its bad thing..lol) I also liked Rey Mysterio back in the WCW days. I never really used them as a role model in my career as I always wanted to be original and not cop any known wrestler. I have my own style, I feel I do..

Do you have any websites or upcoming events you would like to promote? check out http://www.ultimatewrestling.org were you can find out about the latest shows and promo videos.

We also run a website called http://www.Wrestling911.com. Have you been there? If so, what do you think about it? I am a member of wrestling911 and I think it is a great tool to promote yourself or your show. Even tho that Snowman is a tool..lol Ask him about his run in with New Era

That’s right.  You did kick my ass a lot.  Is there anything else you would like to talk about? I found a quote that I feel is very true. “In order to excel, you must be completely dedicated to your chosen sport. You must also be prepared to work hard and be willing to accept destructive criticism. Without 100% dedication, you won’t be able to do this.”

Thank you for your time.
No, thank you and remember…………. I’M THE GREATEST!!!!!
