I‘m all for exaggerated displays of “coolness” in video games and movies. I was fine with Arnold Schwarzenegger wearing those sunglasses in Terminator 2 even though it made absolutely no sense and was put into the movie just so he’d look like more of a badass. But when it comes to real life, I’m against people doing things or saying things or wearing things just to look cool. This is probably because I can never pull it off with my poor vision, social anxiety, and below-average facial structure.
It’s silly when a random person on the street tries to play up his cool factor, but it’s hilarious when a team of people who spend their time making video games attempts to pull off the unimaginable.
Are there a lot of vampires just running around the streets of Japan that need hunting? That could have played a part in them losing World War II.
I hope those blazers don’t get in the way when they’re writing the code to get Solid Snake to crawl properly. On casual Fridays, they’re allowed to swap out their black motorcycles for red motorcycles and katanas are optional.
Kojima Productions, you make video games for an audience that’s mainly comprised of boys with hairless testicles (by developmental stage or choice) but taking a picture dressed in all black in front of a sleek modern light-scape didn’t seem like a ridiculous idea?
And don’t people wear sunglasses anymore? It’s dark out and they’re wearing black, seems like the perfect time. Maybe they wanted to watch out for lycans. Those werewolves have been pissed ever since Kojima announced their new project — Metal Gear Solid: We Don’t Waste Time Slayin’ Wolves.
