Heroes Inc.

I was locked-in on this thing. Pixels (2015) did something similar, right? Never saw it, but I believe it has some similar imagery, though the narrative might be different. The whole world as a computer is very Douglas Adams.

It's no coincidence that Kojima's games can be edited into movies, he has a film director's vision. So here's MGS3 by Gamer's Little Playground. 🎬🍿

Incredible choice! One of my favorites!!

Kojima chose Aug. 24th, 1964 as the date of the Virtuous Mission because it aligned with his birthday.

I initially bemoaned the fact that I kicked off "Kojima Week" posting about Gex, but it turns out that's Dana Gould's birthday too. Amazing coincidence!

"This is absolutely the last Metal Gear Hideo Kojima is working on."

...and he worked on 11 more.

I think the author guessed this and was making a joke, but it's hard to tell in print.

Still in awe of how good this CRT looks.

The NES shaped me, but the 3DO meant the most to me as it was the first console I bought with my own money. I mentioned it on here recently, but I was able to afford the costly 3DO after a retail CEO lost a bet to me, a 12 year old kid. Never bet against a kid's ability to manipulate gains.

His credits weren't wholly apparent in the NES era, but Kojima's notable mark on the industry informed our outside play; walkie-talkies, camouflage, tactical espionage action, and hidden tree forts.

Hideo Kojima became a legendary name on the playground, with a whole grade of kids challenging the notion that we weren't aware of creators back then.

Robert the comic book store guy built a niche legend out of Hideo Kojima in our town in the '80s. His comic shop was in the side room of our local video store, across from the game shelves. If you came in to rent Metal Gear, Robert would certainly tell you about Kojima and the superior MSX version.

The Screamer likely inspired Kojima while making Snatcher. With Death Stranding 2 just a few days away, shining a spotlight on The Screamer makes sense. Hint: Kojima will also be directly recognized with Friday's *Retro Night* featured title. 😉

Gex was a mainstay for me on my 3DO. Story goes, retail CEO made a bet against me at 12 years old that I couldn't make 3 toothpicks into 4 without breaking any. One "shape-of-a-4" later and I bought the console.

Focus group responses for Millipede. It seems like the focus group must have been asked to compare Millipede against Centipede directly—probably not the best way to collect raw data.
