Metal Gear Solid story, anyone?

[StokedUp]

Ok so this post is basically asking for a big favour I'd like any hardcore metal gear fans to write down in a simplified way the story and events of the metal gear franchise. I'm a big fan but I've completely lost my way with the story after not playing it for so long even forgetting about certain characters. I know the story is quite complex So if anybody can find the time to post the events in chronological order stating which game is involved It will be massively appreciated.
