Dumbest (and lamest) thing I've ever seen in video game...

Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

Oh shit, I forgot about that. It was a bonus on the MGS2:Substance disc. Konami was about to release a skateboarding game so they took the engine from it and threw it in MGS to advertise said new skate game. Man that was a wierd piece of advertising on thier part.

The only way to deactivate the ray beam and fight back the vampire alien threat is with a complicated series of foot patterns on the device's control board that looks remarkably like a DDR pad. We will all praise this man for saving our lives and buy him a mountain of stuffed animals.

Mogzus........I feel you Pizza Hut sucks. But hey man, Godfathers didn't deserve to be in that list! They are SOOO much better than most chain pizza. It ain't like a local pizza shop but Little C's and Papa Johns just can't hang. Pizza is serious business man....you've got some explaining to do :)

What is this Metal Gear game? Isn't that the tech demo that made me want a PS3? J/K....haven't played any of them since NES though. Not my cup of tea.

Imagine if a game like Halo referenced things like "Xbox Live" from within the game's story? People would be up in arms.

But perhaps I am wrong, and Hideo is just trying to put an end to the MGS4 on 360 rumors. Of course, I wouldn't exactly consider him a credible source on the necessity of BluRay anymore considering his game has two 90 minute cut scenes. Looks like we know where all that extra space went to. Anyway, that's a whole different topic altogether, one I don't wish to discuss in length. :wink:
Did you PLAY MGS? When the Colonel told you to change the controller ports while fighting Psycho Mantis? When Mantis told you what games you liked playing based on what was on your memory card? Koijima breaks the fourth wall all the damn time.

I didn't like the NES games either but ever since Solid, I've been a fan. You should try it, you might be surprised~

Yes I remember the switching controller ports but I also remeber something about MGS "corrupting" your other data as a joke.

Nope that was Eternal Darkness.

Yeah, but MGS used the Eternal Darkness engine, so the Psycho Mantis fight did feature a lot of the same stuff, including the room swaying back and forth, pictures laughing at you, etc. The head that explodes in the picture turns into an ED zombie face anyway...it was a good time.

Yes I played MGS1 through MGS3, and yes I did appreciate the humor in the games. I especially liked how you could set your PS2's clock ahead a few weeks and find The End to be dead in his wheelchair in MGS3.

Although, I don't think Hideo is without his flaws and occasional madness. Mentioning the PS3 and BluRay within the game world doesn't really come off as "genius" to me.

Yeah, I meant Twin Snakes. Sorry about not specifying.
