The one feature of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots that seems to be getting the least attention, despite being such a high profile change, is the ol' soup strainer on Old Snake. Snake is equipped with a meaty, manly moustache in the fourth MGS, presumably to soften the sound of the breeze passing across his hardened angular upper lip for stealthier stealthiness.
Fortunately, a group of dedicated gamers is joining Old Snake in his facial hair endeavor, proudly showcasing their lip fuzz at Metal Gear 'Stache. If you're packing a dazzling lip forest of bristly hair, make sure you join the team of proud growers. We don't see much in the way of competition for Old Snake, but we're hoping that changes.

I'll do my best.
I feel a Kotaku contest coming on...
If I could grow facial hair, I'd totally be a part of this.
98% of them look like molestaches.
Dammit, I just shaved. But whatever though, it took me two and a half weeks to get like a centimetre. And it WAS getting a little itchy.
I think I'll give this a try, but my manliness will swoon all the ladies and the guys will kill me. XD
I'll show you mine if you show me yours.
Who needs a mustache when you're growing lamb chops. :D
Finally, a reason to grow a moustache!
or steal one...... o.O
now we just need a papercraft eyepatch
No thanks. I have the Spock Goatee.
That's kind of more Price than Snake.
IT THA TAHGITS
FLAISHBAING THRU THA DOUH
@frostcircus: actually it's totally not
Wouldn't you rather see a shaved monkey?
I can't grow a moustache even if I wanted to
I look like an animal when I grow my beard. I mean, really. Like some wild creature. Maybe it's my dark eyes and black hair. In any case, I wouldn't dare to go out with it. :P
Great, just the ammo Jack Thompson needs to claim all gamers are child molesters. McWhertor looks like he just got busted by Chris Hansen.
I don't have a mgs4 look. I do have a mgs2 gruff 3 day 5 o'clock shadow look. I hate the mullet though. I cut it down to being super short.
@Hardcore1: c'mon...have a seat right over here....
What do you think you're doing?
Well, if I let it grow until the release, it should be recognizable as a (small) stache!
@frostcircus:
Rolling on the floor laughing.
I'd love to see a Flynn/Plunkett 'stache-off. Neither have really rocked the lip warmers as far as I've seen, but they've both got the most potential. Crecente it seems would just look like Inigo Montoya.
Yeah heard them talking about this on last week's Kojima Productions Report. Great idea, I'm up for it!
@frostcircus: my ass fell off. From laughing.
I hate that freaking moustaches Snake has. That's the only turn off about Medal Gear Solid 4.
@Ghostm: Another turn off might be that "Medal Gear Solid 4" doesn't exist.
@Ghostm: C'mon. How's he supposed to be a crotchety old man without one?
"Hey you kids! Get off my lawn! Kids?! Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiids!!!!"
@ManjiKengo: Just right over here....nnnice SP reference!
@RYAMATSU: MEDAL GEAR SOLID 4!! FROM EA!!
Wow. I once grew my hair for 2 yrs so I could be like Solid Snake. Here is a pic. I'll grow a stache before the game comes out.
@Ghostm:Last time I heard, there was supposed to be some sort of mini-game involving shaving Snake's stache. It's been a while since I heard that though, like 2 yrs. So It might not make the cut.
I totally just hit that
I've got a decent stach beard combo going, but not as "cool" as Snakes.
@ShizzleBeef: I once lay prone and spun around on my genitals so I could be like Solid Snake. I hope it kicks in soon.
haha, good find.
i still say kojima pulls a bait-and-switch with old snake, and we get younger snake like halfway through. just a hunch.
I already have a full goatee, so getting a Snake 'stache would actually involve shaving hair off. And that's something I'm just not gonna do.
@ShizzleBeef: Awesome. Absolutly awesome. I'm in awe.
I might do this. The people so far have pathetic facial hair.
And once again, I rue my hereditary deficiency in hair of the face area. And I'm doubly damned by the fact that the facial hair that my genes DO decide to dole out is rendered nigh invisible by the fact that I'm blonde.
Im wearing the same one that the guy in the pic, lol.
'Horseshoe:
A style possibly popularized by modern cowboys and which is often confused with the Fu-Manchu or Handlebar. The horseshoe consists of a full moustache with vertical extensions from the corners of the lips down to the jawline and resembling an upside-down horseshoe.'
@frostcircus: Don't hate. It's the fluff in the back, right? ;)
@TheIrishNinja: I hope you are right. That one video where he is young for a second still befuddles my very being. I've also half-theorized (half because I didn't put any thought into this; just kind of spit it out) that the medicine he takes rejuvenates him, no idea how they'd explain that though, unless they whip out a crazy excuse for his age outside of the fact that he is a clone.
Damn it! I shaved off my pedobeard earlier today. I could've made a last minute stache and pretend like I've been rocking the pornstar look for ages.
I do not have a metal gear stache.
However, if anyone wants, I will post pictures of my ass, which I'm working out to look exactly like Snake's.
It's beautiful!
@RYAMATSU: im shit outta luck. i pre-ordered metal gear solid 4. is it too late to pre-order medal gear solid 4? i dont want to miss the beta
What ever the evolutionary advantage of a moustache was, it is certainly gone. In fact, I think they are counter-reproductive these days. And thank the gods for that, looking at the pics on that link. Clean-shaven is the way to go, everywhere. The porn-stache is gone. RIP.
I am SO growin out the 'stache!
@Hardcore1: Is that McWhertor in the pic? I wasn't sure... DANG! It is.... Maybe I should retract my previous statement, as that facial is well placed... I cannot look away!
Sam Elliot will be playing Snake in the movie. He has the satche and everything else to play the role. pic. Now that man and grow a badass mustache. I can't even achieve that.
Guy looks like a redneck....JK
Bill Donahue- PSM, December 2005 issue....
I honestly think Flynn would look good in this. Show them what its about FLynn!!!
ha nice.. tons of people adding stache's and solid eye patches to their online avatars lately too.
cool stuff
Snake's stache doesn't compare to an Edward James Olmos' stache
