Is that a real screenshot or a photoshop? That looks fucking goofy.

Also, isn't Snake like 90 years old in this game? I hope they found a way to sneak Metamucil, prune juice, and Depends into the game. Also, Snake should carry around a pee jar.

On the one hand, blatant advertising like this is ridiculous. On the other hand, in games that are supposed to be "real-world", I don't mind subtle advertisements, since that's what we see in the real world.

I wouldn't mined if you saw him eating at Wendy's or something because that would be fucking hilarious.


I'm so bananas I'm showing up to your open casket,
to fill it up with explosive gases,
and close it back,
with a lit match in it,
while I sit back, and just hope it catches.

Blow you to fragments,
laugh,
roll you, and smoke the ashes.

Though a frostee would be better on his dentures.

Better yet, instead of a cardboard box, he can use "rocking chair on porch" and a unsuspecting guard will sit in his lap and get a Werther's Original, then *BAM*, snap his neck.

I guess I kind of understand it. PS3 games are notoriously expensive to make, and a huge title like this one is probably no exception. Even with blockbuster sales, it probably takes a little more to make a substantial profit. As long as it's integral, unlike the crap Ubisoft pulled like in Vegas1 where you take off in a chopper, and see six billboards right next to each other featuring Axe ads, or in Double Agent where you see an ad for an American razor in a Shanghai mission written completely in English.


So here's to you Mrs. Robinson. People love you more- oh, nevermind.
