The Dord of Darien

Musings from the Mayor of the Internet

That didn’t take long

So much for Kojima’s pledge that Metal Gear Solid 4 would be the end of the series. As Giant Bomb reports (hi Jeff!), there’s a new Metal Gear-related teaser shown up on the internet recently. The speculation’s all stupid; taken together, apparently it’s a new Metal Gear Acid game on the Wii, the iPhone, and the Xbox 360. Seems plausible!

The official teaser is here, but it consists of nothing more than that screenshot on the Giant Bomb page and a six-second flash leadin. So don’t bother.

Why video games suck

So for the second time, I find myself linking to cracked.com. I apologise for that. If you can endure the multiple strained analogies about "boobies," he makes a lot of really good points; in fact, he says a lot of the same things I’ve been saying for years and years.

So, you know, in case you thought I was the only person around who doesn’t like dry, lifeless, brown games with lots of unskippable cutscenes and bullshit minigames.
