Last night marked a night of fights for boxing fans around the world. Most notably the main event, Pacquiao vs Rios. And while I’m in the Pacman camp for obvious reasons, one being that I’m a Filipino so I’ve got a ton of pride for Manny, and second and more importantly Pacman is a great pound for pound fighter. The former can sound bias, and maybe I am. But the fact is, Manny has great hands, footwork, and most of all speed. (more…)
Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, which is a prologue to The Phantom Pain, is slated to come out in Spring 2014, with TPP to follow sometime later. But it seems semi related instances have been surfacing in the wild recently.
Honda has developed a device called Walking Assist. It’s an apparatus which apparently aids individuals with walking difficulties get by on their own two legs with a little nudge from said contraption. It’s purpose is to aid in the rehabilitation of those who have suffered from traumatic events such as a stroke or perhaps a car accident. (more…)
Following PS4’s Launch Party on Spike TV last night, Konami today has just released an English version of the MGSV Ground Zeroes 2013 TGS Demo that’s as shown a few months ago. Kojima Production’s Sean Eyestone was narrating the familiar gameplay in English, pointing out all the bullet points of what can be done in Ground Zeroes. During gameplay we can hear Kaz Miller (Robert Atkin Downes) giving Snake mission directives via codec. In the section during Snake’s enemy interrogation we can hear Kiefer Sutherland say “Spit it out!” (more…)
I waited all day in anticipation for what would be in store for Spike TV‘s PS4 Launch Night. I was hoping to see something really exciting, perhaps jaw dropping from Hideo Kojima‘s little presentation among all the others. Well, I guess I’ll still be waiting because whatever that was Wasn’t what I was expecting.
I was expecting to have my mind blown. Instead, what he treated us to was little more than a throwback to MGS1. His presentation showed an exclusive level in MGSV for PS4 called Deja Vu Mission. This is a PS4 only mission that lets us play as Classic Snake, aka the pixelated incarnation of Solid Snake from MGS1 during the PSX days.
I was amused for 5 seconds but when I realized that THIS was the ONLY THING Kojima Was serving his fans tonight it left me confused and bit annoyed. Usually when Kojima makes announcements they’re pretty worth my while. This time around it left a bad taste in my mouth. This demo was little more than another nostalgic nod to the MGS fans. The thing is, it’s already been done. IN A WHOLE GAME. Which game, you ask? Metal. Gear. Solid. 4. Guns. Of. The. Patriots. That whole game was a tribute to fans. It was drowning in fan service. I enjoyed it. But I’m over it and its been 5 whole years! I thought somehow that perhaps this Deja Vu Mission would show Classic Snake all dressed up with the FOX Engine. NOPE. Same ole blocky mofo. This feels like a missed opportunity at some Real fan service. Kojima could have given ole Solid that next gen shine by actually creating him via FOX Engine specifically for this Mission. Shit, even MGS4 had Young Solid Snake face camo that Old Snake could put on along with Classic Snake face camo.
Shocking? Yes, very shocking. MGS big daddy Hideo Kojima wants to blow something of ours. No, not that. The other thing. You know, our Minds? As always when Kojima has something big to share with everyone as far as MGS is concerned, Spike TV’s Geoff Keighley always seems to be at the front of the line on his hands and knees. OK, scratch the last few words. See, he’s actually standing in this picture:
Thursday (tomorrow) seems like it’ll be a big day for MGS fans as Kojima will have some PS4 related info that will “blow your mind.” Judging from the increased flood of trailers, gameplay videos, and screen shots I’d hold him up to his word.
We’ll have more info as it washes over the Internetz, so keep it here.

My good buddy Big Cheese over at JWAB recently sent me this clip of a Sony PS4 unboxing. The first thing that came to mind was the question:
“Is it wrong to want to have sex with a machine?”
I know it sounds a little sadomasochistic and fetishist. But I mean, just look at the video from T3!
The Playstation 4 looks SO GOOD. It’s totally UNGH worthy. It’s super sexy. It’s edgy (no pun intended). The combination of matte and glossy black say sleek. It’s got that “next gen” profile. I don’t really know what that means but whatever it is the PS4 has it. And I like it. A lot.
Unfortunately for me, I won’t be able to actually own this piece of tech perhaps till next year but Big Cheese will get his lucky mitts on it at release day. I’ll have to live vicariously through him for the next 365 days. That and I can watch all the PS4 pr0n I want on YouTube. Till then…
Mmm, baby got Back.
OK, before any of you get in an uproar about my header title, Yes, MGSV is still a multiplatform/cross platform game being released on current and next gen hardware.
Ok I’ve seen some pretty good cosplay talent before. Some good. Some not so good. Some ridiculously sick.
Looks like Hideo has flown in to New York, possibly for the PS4 release. He’s been doing interviews since he landed so hopefully we get more news about Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes. (more…)
