Attachment There is a Shotgun in the game called 'Dog'. In the game's code, its file name is "Thre Dog", and its special weapons effect reads, "Because one barrel ain't enough, and two is too few." This is likely a reference to the character "Three Dog" from Fallout 3, who says "Three Dog, because one dog ain't enough and two is too low, it's Three Dog!"

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

Major Ivan Raidenovitch Raikov's character is meant to mock MGS2's effeminate protagonist Raiden, who was met with mixed-to-negative criticism among Metal Gear Solid's western fanbase for replacing Solid Snake as the star. Although it isn't explicitly stated, the game heavily implies that Raikov is Colonol Volgin's gay lover.

This plays an important part during a particular scene when Snake is disguised as Raikov in order to infiltrate the Shagohod testing facility. Snake's cover is blown by Volgin who states that he was "waiting for Raikov in his room." Volgin grabs Snakes' crotch twice, thus revealing his identity. Volgin then exclaims "I know the Major better than anyone else." Volgin later beats Naked Snake to a pulp in retribution for Snake "hurting" Raikov.

Several other small hints at Raikov's sexual orientation are present in the game. If the player attempts to distract Raikov with a pornographic magazine, he will only give a brief glance at it and walk away instead of reading through it. Raikov also wears black underwear with a lightning bolt monogrammed on them (seen after stealing his uniform), a reference to Volgin's powers. EVA also drops hints about his homosexuality during a codec call.

MGS3: Subsistence later dropped more clues about Raikov. In the online mode of Subsistence, players can play Raikov, who's special move is a massive crotch grab that renders his opponent stunned. The Secret Theatre film 'Metal Gear Raiden: Snake Eraser' also jokes about Raikov's homosexuality and his purposeful resemblance to Raiden.

Despite being Volgin's male lover, Volgin himself appears to be bisexual, having an abusive relationship with Tatyana. He is a sadist, however, and treats her rather harshly compared to Raikov, whom he adores.

Attachment There are several references to the Mario franchise througout the game:

•When attempting to activate the ball gadget, The Professor mentions two signature items in the Super Mario series, Power Stars and Red Coins, when trying to recall the name of a valued collectible, the Light Gems. Not only this, but he mentions Heart Pieces as well, which is a reference to a collectible found in The Legend of Zelda series.

•There is a robot NPC named Mergatroid found in Red's Laboratory who wears a red shirt, blue overalls, and a red cap with the letter "M" on it.

•There is an enemy type in Crocovile Swamp that resembles a Piranha Plant. A variation of this enemy also spits fireballs, much like a Venus Fire Trap.

•Lastly, there are hostile Yetis in Gloomy Glacier who throw barrels, similar to Donkey Kong.

However, it was reported that there was no way to get out of this debug mode, resulting in some users having to send their systems back to Sony.

Attachment In the mission 'Madd Dogg's Ryhmes', one of the security guards playing a video game (possibly DRIV3R) says, "This sucks, I mean, how could Refractions mess up so bad? You suck Tanner!" This is actually an Easter egg mocking the game DRIV3R, which some consider to be a Grand Theft Auto clone; the main character's name is Tanner, and the game is made by "Reflections".
