I think his having sex with EVA at the end of MGS3 was mostly to distract himself from what he just did to The Boss. (Though not entirely. He really did like her.)
I think he has no gaydar at all in MGS3 but grows one before PW. And kinda becomes a little bisexual himself. ........Actually, one could probably safely say that "everyone in MGS is bisexual" (except Raikov). >_>
I'm not sure if this will be tl;dr or not, I don't have supreme amounts of headcanon, but for me, I think Snake's drive to live is really dependent on his will. He's had, as Otacon puts it, a hard life, but he refuses to just lie down and die, no matter what's thrown at him

I don't really think Snake has a hard time forgiving people, personally. Quite the opposite- I've always seen Snake's ability to forgive and/or not take things personally was one of his most endearing qualities. That doesn't mean he easily forgets what was done to him, but I never got the sense that Snake was an unforgiving person. I mean, he still referred to Gray Fox as his best friend- even after Fox tried to kill him multiple times in MG2. And the way he treated Sniper Wolf with so much respect during her final moments despite how she injured Meryl spoke to me as well. And really, look at how he still is on good terms with Campbell after being lied to by him as well. He also seemed genuinely sad to see Big Boss go at the end of MGS4, even despite everything that HE did to Snake. Originally he was even supposed to have forgiven Naomi for injecting him with FOXDIE by breaking her out of prison after MGS1, though that was later retconned in 2008 to create the storyline of MGS4

You're right, those are good examples. I can't say much against them, and I apologize if I make it seem like Snake doesn't forgive anybody, which isn't true. All things considered he SHOULD hate everybody, but he doesn't. I think he really keeps things in mind, he doesn't easily forget people he's met or what's been done to him

Let me preface this by saying that I think the name James for Liquid is great and I like it very much, especially since I use it myself.
That said, however, I believe the most likely given name for Liquid Snake is John. Looking at his brothers, Solid is David, who I feel must have been named after Zero himself, and then Solidus is George from George Washington, which links back to the Patriots with GW. It would make sense, I feel, to then name the clone with the dominant genes right after the original: John.
Not to mention it seems that when in doubt, Kojima's favorite given name for any male in this series is John.

While some of us are now on the subject of sexuality, I figure I'll come right out and say that I've always seen Otacon as possibly the most obviously straight male in the MGS series. He's a pretty big perv/sap when it comes to women- (outside of Emma who he always just saw as a sister). We all know he crushes on Sniper Wolf and Naomi, and saves pictures of Olga's wet boobs on his computer and bikini model posters too, and thinks Meryl has a really cute behind/stared at it enough to talk to Snake about the 'wiggly' way she walked and secretly had video-feed of Naomi's boobs on his laptop and it was also suggested, I think, that he finds Mei Ling attractive (based on the way he talked about her making captain in MGS4)... So for such a big perv when it comes to women, I personally have never seen anything pointing to Otacon being attracted to guys. Quite the opposite, actually. He seemed to get slightly weirded out by how Snake touches him and asks if he's feeling okay in MGS1 ("Why are you getting all FRIENDLY all of a sudden...?")
( ... )
Truthfully? I agree with you. I can actually see him as being mildly homophobic possibly due to PTSD developed by Liquid's gay.
But I also just really, really cannot play a straight character to save my life. And the guy's personality appeals to me. XD Hal being at least bi seems to be one of the more accepted crack theories out there.

Ocelot taught him how to speak cat before PW.
He was a fat kid.

I don't think that's common knowledge, though, so it's worth mentioning them separately. 8D;
Also, is that a blueberry flavored popsicle...?
