    Perhaps a special edition of MGS4 (Oxide that we've been hearing rumors about) being released for both systems? Perhaps with a bit of set up for an MGS5 game?

    Because Konami is an independent company capable of making announcements as and when they want to including to counter any announcements made by MS on behalf of Sony?

    ...

    Do you think Konami hates 360 or wants to counter any of their announcements?

    No, but they aren't owned by them. If they want to announce something not for the 360 on the day of Microsofts keynote speech, it's not like they can't, and it's not like MS would be upset. And again, kojima likes to fuck with people.

    Well someone posted that they found source code that this will go on until june

    Which happens to be....BUM BUM BUMMMM! E3. This was just a goddamn countdown timer for E3. Either that or its a countdown to that magazine people are talking about.

    Although E3 is looking promising due to the letter E and the backwards E flashing yellow like in the E3 symbol. I dunno. I shouldve known it would just be a countdown to something like that though. Why would they make a big website reveal with E3 just around the corner? Exactly.

    You know, I don't care how stupid the plot is, how ridiculous the bosses are, or how long Kojima decides to string everyone along with these reveals.

    Alls I want is a return of the katana from MGS2. That shit was so fun and you only had it for like 5 minutes of the entire game. If Metal Gear Raiden allows me to katana people in the face for the whole game, I will be satisfied.

    I dug up my old copy of Snatcher and started playing it again. I got it in 2001 and played through one time.

    I don't think they could make a game like this these days. It's just a menu-driven text adventure with voice acting. Don't get me wrong, it's really cool, but I think if they tried to put out a game like this on a "next-gen" system the nerdrage would reach epic proportions.

    ummm... phoenix wright anyone?

    Allow me to replace "next-gen" with HD system. I don't know that the DS is a "next-gen" system, but HD is really where I was going with that.
    I also never liked the Phoenix Wright games. It often seemed to me that the correct way to proceed made no sense. It's possible I'm just dumb though.

    Seriously?

    hahahahaha, magnificent

    And then the magazine tells you to go to a URL for a special announcement!

    I would often knock out Snake with tranqs during the final sequence so that I could cut bitches with my sword.

    for reference the 5/S, E, e, and 3 appear at fairly random intervals during the lightning strikes (in different orders and what not).

    E3 is kind of obvious, but 5e or Se (or eS or e5), is not so much.

    wait... Ive got it.

    Kojima is behind D&D 5th Edition, and will be revealing the video game (no pen and paper this time) at E3!

    MEGATON!

    I would certainly play a stealth game starring Shadow.

    Especially if you got cool little mercenary missions for cash, like hunting down your mother and slitting her throat for $0.05.

    One possible interpretation is the storm. Raiden. Pretty simple. Platform could be what Famitsu gave away in their issue preview - Famitsu PS3 + PSP, Metal Gear 5 cover story.

    At first I found this annoying and stupid, but fuck it. They should just keep announcing countdowns to more announcements of more timers and countdowns at this point. For me Kojima is now Fry from Futurama spooning gravy onto the turkey sitting atop his head, and all I can do is cheer him on. Go man GO!

    I'm going to laugh even harder when all this hype just leads to an announcement of MGS4 hitting 360 after being blown out of all proportion.

    That would be fantastic. The reactions on places like GAF would be priceless if it was only half as entertaining as the whole XIII thing turned out to be.

    Was that in one of the films? Cause I only saw two of those. And the only other milk related gag I can remember is one of my favorite from "How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back", when Fry shows the new girl his place.

    "This is where you eat?"
    "Eat AND sleep!" and then he pulls away a sheet and the milk jug on it starts to pour in between the bed and the wall.

    It was a later episode that fry was eating things off his head. Something to do with ridiculousness or something. I know Leela was complaining, which really narrows it down for you.

    This is just a minimalist ARG. You've got Ilovebees with its website counting down through different states, delivering a barrage of interwoven stories told through jumbled text, steganography, phonecalls, audio logs, lasting months and requiring massive amounts of input from the audience to reconstruct and follow the various narrative strands, all to promote the launch of Halo 2.

    Then here, you've got an advert leading to a timer, leading to another timer, leading to what will only be more timers, then someone steps up and says "Metal Gear Solid 5, chaps" and calls it a night.

    Bravo, Mr Kojima. Bravo.
