It’s a reference to an ITT Tech commercial circa 1986! Do I win something?

I’ll put in on that
Handsome Jack was actually intended to be a parallel to Jack Harkness, whose actor’s name is also John. Or so I hear.
I don’t think there’s as many MGS references as you’re saying.
Interestingly, the “Firehawk” is the name of a legendary Repeater pistol in Borderlands 1 - popular with Lilith players as it causes a lot of DOT effects.
Yes maybe there’s not that much references or maybe there are. Those was my own interpretations about how some of characters or things are matching pretty well. As for Jack I think there are some more connections him to Big Boss. Both turned from good to evil. And both was betrayed by their women. But like I said before, this is my own interpretation and how I see those things.
Yes in programming language its not the same. But in German language it means zero, as far I know. Also there was already character named zero in MGS, so I guess they used codename null for him in this case.
Scott Kester said that Zero was inspired by Gray Fox, so that’s not just in your head.
Here are a few Metal Gear references that are pretty well known that you forgot to mention:
Zero has a skin called Eyes of the Snake. Geary drops a siren head called Metal Fear that’s looks like Grey Fox, and a commando head called Medic Mantis.

A little thing I noticed is that you can make an axton look like max pane if you take the grizzled veteran head and the Hawaiian skin.

I always appreciated how big Midgemong’s map is, much larger than its single quest requires, and with loot to reward those who go searching. Just a little touch that adds to the experience.
Ellie’s boobs are so big that if you crouch underneath them, they will keep you from standing up.

Why were you crouching under Ellie’s boobs?
I thought I saw a penny on the ground.

What Big Boss movie? The only one I think I’m familiar with is the 1971 Bruce Lee movie The Big Boss
He’s talking about the character from the Metal Gear games.
But kudos for bringing up the Bruce Lee movie. 
“It’s a bloody business Bates”… I lol every time Krieg says that.
One of a couple Downton Abbey references and for K to have one of them as
play dialogue is too funny.
