1) Be an attractive model.

Some of you will have trouble with this one. Sorry. =(

2) Post on the official Metal Gear Solid Facebook enough to get Ken’s attention.

Plenty of you folks post a lot on the official Metal Gear Facebook already, put having a render of Big Boss as your profile picture and posting stuff like “WHERE ARE THE MGS4 TROPHIES?!” “FUCK RISING” (no, fuck you) and “OMG EPIC” all the time is going to blend with all of the other comments being posted. Why not be an attractive model holding a Naked Snake doll, for example?

3) Ask Ken if you can be in a Metal Gear game.

Eventually Badass Ken will notice you and this is your opportunity to ask if you can become a part of Metal Gear history. Ken isn’t God or anything, but he can ask and if everything works out…

BAM! WHAT NOW MOTHERFUCKERS?!

But seriously, congratulations to Tamika Mzftoy.

It’s thanks to this man that I can now play Policenauts without needing to learn Japanese, or find out that MGS2 was going to have a shark as a boss fight (that sounds amazing! Why wasn’t it included?!) If another version of Selection for Societal Sanity ever gets passed, Konami better not try to take his stuff down.

In an interview with Famitsu, Hideo Kojima, Platinum Games CEO Tatsuya Minami, and producer Atsushi Inaba, revealed that, after three years since the game was first announced in E3 2009, Rising will be playable at E3 2012. Those attending will be able to cut at their own will, and “have some fun!”

Minami also explained that stealth was the first thing Platinum Games tossed out when they took over the project. Apparently, even Kojima said he didn’t want stealth in the game.

Also, since this year marks the 25th Anniversary of the whole series, expect another big announcement from Kojima Productions this June (most likely involving Pig-tailed Boss.)

This isn’t the first time Sunrise made something for the ZOE franchise; they also made a 26 episode series and an OVA based on the games, both of which you can probably watch right now on a streaming site since Congress decided not to fuck up for once.

We’ll keep you updated as soon as we get more info on the Zone of the Enders HD Collection!

“Started and scrapped between the development cycles of Metal Gear Solids 2, 3, 4, and Peace Walker, Escape from Minako promised a less-stealthy take on Kojima’s standard style. The game put players in control of a humble robot manufacturer imprisoned at the evil Minako Corporation, forced to build a line of increasing complex and time-consuming behemoths against his will; throughout EFM’s ten stages, said protagonist would slay floors of cyborg executives, finally escaping at the end for a tearful reunion with his family and the concept known by many as “leisure.” When exposed to Kojima’s presentation for the game, Konami’s higher-ups couldn’t help but notice the strong allegory between Escape from Minako and Kojima’s actual working life. To counter such claims, the famed developer simply presented a picture showing the stacks of cash this new IP would bring in. The brass at Konami responded in turn with a 1:10-scale diorama depicting the money a new Metal Gear game would generate, complete with a model train that, when fully built, would carry an entire board of directors through tunnels upon tunnels of currency. A lesson for you would-be developers: when working on a pitch, never neglect the size of your money shot.”

The only thing I take issue with? The implication that Kojima was ever forced to make Metal Gear titles; he always had a choice, even if one of the consequences of making a different choice would have ended with him leaving Konami. Maybe Escape from Minako’s main villain should actually be the main character’s evil twin, modeled after Business Kojima. Anyways, check out the full article on 1UP.
