Folks the sound I made the first time this happened in the game
From ROMEO Art Director Kunihiko Taniwaki:
"Can you imagine how utterly insane it is to melt a dummy head's face with a flamethrower in a sweltering, humid, air-conditioner-less warehouse studio in the middle of summer in Japan? Special effects by Tomo Hyakutake, DP & compositing by Takuma Araki."

I met Khary Payton, Drebins’ voice actor at a con and someone had asked about how it was working on MGS4, if there was any standout moments to him he remembered.
He then began to describe being given Laughing Octopus’s backstory and genuinely thought he was being pranked.

With more people getting the opportunity to play Metal Gear Solid 4, it means more people will understand one of my favorite posts online

The funny thing about the weird fantasy people have about AI sentience is that if machines really truly DID start developing true autonomy, this country wouldn't welcome them with open arms. companies and the gov't would do everything in their power to deny their personhood

makes sense, from start to end of my teenage years I played Final Fantasies 7, 8, 9 and 10 as they came out. that kind of thing is gonna warp you into being dependably nostalgic if nothing else. if the only contemporary FF I got to play was 15? that couldn't warp me, I'd be normal and well adjusted.
Young gamers in Japan may not be forming the same attachment to Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest because modern dev cycles are as long as their childhood, users theorize

Fun fact: Costco is basically the only store I've never been treated weirdly in for being black my entire life.
No weird glances or followers, no asking for 2 IDs for alcohol, no talking down to me like I'm a literal child, no one assuming I'm there for the cheapest products possible. None of it.

Get out to a theater and see this movie if you can! Don't be the guy sitting at home watching it on your shared plex server in 8 months going "dang I wish I could've seen this in a theater!"
Did you ever see when NIRVANNA THE BAND made a special Mega64 episode? Well, it can now be revealed: this was actually a test/rehearsal for their movie! We love these guys. Watch this special video again before seeing NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE, in theaters NOW!
