Hideo Kojima Demystifies Crazy Countdown Code

[Keane Ng]

Oh, that crazy Kojima. Certainly he didn't think anyone other than himself could decode that little puzzle. At least he's crazy in a good way. It takes a person not in his right mind to make something like the Metal Gear Solid series, and that's insanity I can support.

Also, that picture amuses me to no end. I encourage all staff writers to use that picture in every article in which Kojima is involved (which seems to be the case already, but I'm encouraging you guys not to change that).

Last time I wrote a Kojima story I didn't use the duck picture. I was forced to change it immediately, and was almost fired.

Wow... I only got 1 part of that countdown correct. Obviously, the 'E'=E3 part...

Just trying to follow the story of the games proves how insainly complicated his thought process is, if you want any proof just download the MGS Database from the PS@Store. But hey who can stay mad at him especialy after seeing that picture.

I would LOVE a duck simulator.

I'll bet there was one guy who did figure all this out definitively, and now his friends just stare at him, gaping. And he's just like "Yeah. Yeah, I figured that out. Every single one, dead on." Well, I say friends, but I actually expect he's very lonely.

You really need to get a new picture for Kojima.

That duck is seriously freaking me out now.

We have plenty of pictures of him, we just choose to use this one. Just to freak you out.

i think the duck picture is good and from what i've seen of Kojima he'd prefer the duck picture. especially after that odd cryptic message deciphering

By the way for all the people who didn't sit through the credits on MGS4 or those who never played it yet. He called Himself The Voice of God in the F'in credits

Heres the cast list if you dont belive me

Man, I really love this pic of Kojima that you keep using, it reminds me of his evil geniusness.

 

[yeah_so_no]

"So everyone, how didju rike it?" he asked.

Fixed.

...

This is even scarier than the duck.

OK, maybe I'm a freak, but I wanted to pet him on the head for being nerdy-adorable/obviously insane.

reeaaaaaaaaally?? the duck again?

 

[Susan Arendt]

Always the duck. If we do a Kojima story, we use the duck pic. It's Escapist News Room policy.
