Just in case anyone else is :stare:ing at this as hard as I did before I clicked through to the source: one of his buddies threw a handful of fish food into the water after he jumped in, and the fish swarming around him to get the food are harmless.

Thank you! I couldn't understand where the blood was or why he wasn't screaming more. Fuuuuck that's a good prank.

It's kind of strange to me that this is a stadium that seems like it holds maybe 20,000 people, and from the background appears to be in the middle of nowhere.

I love this one so much, mostly because I have a prof named Sarah who teaches river paddling and swift water rescue. She teaches the British Army these skills as well as people in my program. I sent her this video once asking if it reminded her of us, and she said "no but some army guys can definitely get like this" :3:

This owns, and also, have you seen the story of Zone of the Enders? It is a gigantic mess, and while I love Kojima, unless he contributed directly to awesome mech combat and nothing else, his offering to ZoE isn't great, certainly nothing like MGS.

Chip and Ironicus did a lovely freaking LP of ZOE. And as always I learned to never play ANYTHING Chip does because he makes it look SO much easier than it ACTUALLY IS.

One sec.

I mean don't get me wrong, I'm happy it's getting a remake so I can finally play it on a console I actually have, but Konami could not make this a more obvious "oh poo poo we need money, we need to do something, this is something :supaburn:" cashgrab if they tried.

I heard the weird poo poo they did when they had artists working as security guards and the like.

I thought they were making money hand over fist from their Pachinko division.

They pretty much shut down their games making operations on the basis that the Japanese Government were about to liberalise gambling laws, so poured all their money into pachinko.

Then the gov unexpectedly introduced legislation to restrict the amount you can win or wager on pachinko, as well as strict guidelines on banning addicts or big spenders from pachinko parlours. Kinda hosed them over.

Wasn't that right after they dropped Kojima and cancelled one of their most expected big name games from one of their longest and most beloved franchises outside of metal gear?

Yep, instead they announced pachinko with Erotic Violence.

I guess they're hoping new ZOE and Metal Gear Survive bring in the big bucks for them.

Best possible timeline: Konami gets hits hard financially, has to sell some IPs to save itself, Kojima buys the Metal Gear rights and proceeds to make games.

I don't know, as lovely as publishers can be they still act as a method of grounding the more insane creators. Like Kojima.

If he had his way we'd get a game of nothing but naked Quiet and also Old Snake's hot rear end.

People paying American dollars to let other people know they didn't agree with someone's position on something is the lifeblood of these forums.
Death Stranding is basically a metal gear game anyway.

Konami selling off their IPs would probably do the trick since they're sitting on a lot of good stuff: Metal Gear, Contra, Castlevania....a smart business person could do a really good job selling revamps of the original games alone and make serious bank before just continuing the game series. The real schaden is how Konami has a lot of good series that they simply just hosed over.
