The Best Of Senator Armstrong
Ойын-сауық
Thank you for all the support, it has been an honour to have contributed to Armstrong's popularity in meme culture.
Nanomachines, son. They harden in response to physical trauma. You can't hurt me, Jack. What did I just say?

I'd argue that Armstrong was a very well written villain. Hell, I'd consider him a good guy if he didn't trap people into dangerous jobs and utilize amoral strategies. His plans of boosting the economy and building a world run by the individual are actually rather noble goals. But, the ends never justify the means.

If you think about it extensively, Armstrong is more or less a hero attempting to fight for independence and will which is why I really like him and support him. As a matter of fact I hated fighting him in Metal Gear revengeance and in that one scene where Raiden pretended to be friendly to him and suddenly turned on him I got pissed off at Raiden.
