It's T minus 2 weeks until Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is released. Get nostalgic by witnessing how far the series has evolved since the days of...*ahem*...this.



This video is footage of the Tiger handheld electronic LCD game Snake's Revenge released in 1990 shortly after the NES version by the same name. The quality makes it very hard to see what is actually going on, but the audio is entertaining in itself.

Believe it or not, this craptastic LCD version has a story. In this alternate timeline of the MGS series, the infamous Colonel Vernon CaTaffy, a crazed terrorist with delicious sugary candy for a last name, gives the secrets for "Metal Gear II" to Higharolla Kockamamie, leader of Fortress Fanatic.

Yes, that's right. Higharolla Kockamamie.

...and/or the buttsecks.

Bitches Don't Know 'Bout My Diabeetus Neither

Ok, so maybe you do know 'bout it...

...since you might have ordered one for HOSHIT ONE DOLLAR thanks to the illustrious Topher.

Just got it in the mail this morning an I just wanted to say it is teh secks. I shall wear it with pride and be eager to answer everybody I meet about what the hell deeeestructoid dot com is.

Now I can be in the Kool Kids Klub.

After months of depriving myself of the luxuries of the internet, I've returned to reading Destructoid, shenanigans and, most importantly, gaming. To give you all the Cliff's Notes version on why, I pretty much almost flunked out of college due to my avid interest in all things gaming. Thus, I essentially rehabilitated myself by avoiding gaming all together.

Until now...

...and so I shall reward my ongoing mediocrity by doing the following:

Damn, it's good to be back.

XOXO,

P.S. See you all on FNF.

So you might've noticed all the dates an locations on the front page for Video Games Live here a while back. My question is: who will be attending the October 28th show at the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri?

I'll be purchasing tickets later this week and I was wondering if anybody from Destructoid would like to meet-up. Tickets are only $35 for premiere, ground floor, central seating (next best to front row). Seats also go as low as $17.

We'll be meeting up for pre-show festivities that are set-up (cosplay contests, VG stations, etc.) right outside of Jesse Auditorium at 5:30 pm. The show starts at 7:00 pm.

If you are indeed attending, post your comment here and I'll contact you to meet-up. You can purchase tickets here.

I do live in the area, so we can do something afterwards if you'll be around. I think we'll have some late dinner downtown following the show if you care to join us. Post-show events are sort of fly-by-night, whatever anybody wants to do. Nothing is concrete unless we have more Dtoid members join up for this show.

I've gotten word that Workman has been talking with the host, his holiness Tommy Tallarico, but mum's the word. However, I can tell you that the pants tighten over what he has in store for Destructoid, so come to this show! Don't you love freedom, you pinko commie? If so, make sure you join us!

So far, the Toids that have confirmed attending:
