Metal Gear Solid 4 can’t really being the last Metal Gear.. can it??
Don Other | 10:09 PM on 11.27.2007 14 comments




Honestly I really can’t picture it going. I mean love it or hate it, (I noticed it’s either one or the other for 90% of gamers) it’s always been a big part of gaming culture like other legendary games. But Kojima and Payton have been saying it’s the last one for so long now. Even now, I’m sure there are people high up in the industry who don’t believe it. The series is really good but come on let’s not lie it’s a huge money bank.. Would Konami/Kojima productions let this one go for real? Personally I’d hate to see it go (as you can tell from my avatar I really like the game) but if Kojima wants it finished.. I guess it’s going to be finished.

My Failure to Have Fun - - Part 2
Don Other | 2:32 PM on 11.27.2007 2 comments


So for those of you who read my last post (ready for the shameless plug?); "My Failure to Have Fun - - Dtoid saves the day", you'd know the crazy problem I had with just getting to sit down again with my PS3 and play a damn game. Well, I didn't end up going to work today because I stayed up really late last night and when I woke up I felt like me eyes had just been smothered by a gallon of moisturizing cream..or was that Workman's semen?.. Anyways, you don't want to know what it's like testing a game for 8 hours is when your dead tired and feel like shit.

So about 20 minutes ago I called Sony like I said I was going to do. So a female service rep called "Deloris" actually gets my call this time. Someone who in my opinion sounded like an asshole until she found out I had had a problem a week prior. So after telling her my problem I had been put on hold for a good 5 minutes so she could "research" the problem. When she came back I was ready to give her my information so they can send me what they need to send me. But no. She instead asked when the best time to call me in the next two business days is. Turns out she's going to contact the repair shop and they're going to investigate my problem I told you guys about last post and they'll get back to me.

Well that sucks balls doesn't it.. oh well. All I can think about is a 20GB PS3 stuck in my 60GB PS3's body.. Hey..wait a sec..

My Failure to Have Fun - - Dtoid saves the day

So this would be my first blog post. If theres anything I learned in life, it's that if someone at Dtoid tells you to blog something, you punch your girlfriend in the face, tell her you get off your cock, then write the fucking blog.

Then you tell her to get back on and shut up.

So get this.. Two weeks ago, my poor 60GB PS3 had a problem. I had posted in the comments of Dale's article about 2.00 fucking up PS3s. So I had to send it to Sony and miss out on playing GH3, CoD4, Assassin's Creed and Uncharted.. so if that's not enough to make me kill myself I don't know what is.. So I sent it to Sony's house last Monday (1 week ago). I received it today and was really surprised at how fast the service was. I hook everything up and I'm super fucking eager to pop in Guitar Hero and start rocking out. But first let me restore all my backed up save files, pictures and music on my new PS3 right? WRONG..fuck...Somehow, in a mysterious world where Nintendogs sells as much as it does, my PS3 ended up not coming back with a 60 GB hard drive... My 60GB PS3 (chrome trim and everything) has a 20 GB hard disk inside. I wasn't too thrilled about this as you can imagine. I'd just gone through a lot of trouble to find the time to send in my PS3 and stuff. I work as a full time tester so I'm technically competent so I'm not just freaking out over nothing. So I get it back and have to send it in again? Come on..

I had called Sony for the third time in 2 weeks to basically have a whole conversation with some guy to get my point across. My point, being: double you tee eff. But it just so happened that no reps were available so I go to the next best organization that would solve my problems. Destructoid. Dee-Fucking-Struk-Toid.

What do you guys think?


Oh and by the way, if you guys don't give Workman the fucking warmest happy birthday that even a Filipino hooker with syphilis couldn't give, I'll be really sad. That guy fucking rocks.
