Playing through Metal Gear 1, the pits weren't that bad. For some reason, they never scared me. But for some reason, in Metal Gear 2 with the change to how pits work and open, I've become paranoid and slightly paralyzed every time I see a room and even think there is a death pit.

If Metal Gear 2 had a time limit to complete the mission, Big Boss would win. I would be absolutely incapable of stopping his schemes because I'd be too busy glaring at each floor, screaming, "I KNOW THERE IS A PIT HERE!" and alerting everyone on the floor I'm on. I do not know why these pits terrify me so much, but every time one opens, I scream, "Oh ♥♥♥♥!" and then start laughing nervously.

I am ashamed to admit, I am a grown ass adult, and pits... are terrifying me.
