First post: Tell me why I should play MGS4 and get a crappy book!
mezoned | 1:56 AM on 06.21.2008 13 comments


First I guess I'll introduce my hairy ass and stop lurking in the shadows waiting to molest all of you. Actually, I'll still do that but at least now you'll know who the moron wearing the furry costume is that just tickled your naughty places without permission.

To make a long story (and a first post) short, I work at a bookstore in orange county ca and I recently acquired some incredibly worthless and entirely literature-free old video game novels that some of you may remember as WORLDS OF POWER. Back in the late 80's and early 90's, in collaboration with Nintendo of America, Scholastic put out some horrible novels featuring some great old nintendo games: think "Blaster Master," "Castlevania," "Ninja Gaiden" ect.

In the disguise of a mini contestish type giveawayamajig, and because none of my friends can adequately tell me why I should pony up the moolah for a copy of MGS4, I am throwing one of these trashy nintendo novels your way!



Yes the METAL GEAR novel. Don't read it. Believe me.
As you can see at
http://www.amazon.com/Metal-Gear-Worlds-Power-Nine/dp/0590437771/ref=sr_11_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1214032485&sr=11-1

it is selling for a whopping 4cents! (not counting shipping)

So, tell me why I should buy it and play it. Win a book. I'll ship it to you from the bookstore. Free. so stfu.

Because it oozes awesome like semen or sweat would from an overweight geek who hasn't seen the sun in weeks.

you can buy me the 4 cent book. I will read it.

Because even in the first hour of the game, MGS4 does things that will blow you away. And the game wraps up an amazing masterpiece in one single game.

You should buy it or else Hideo Kojima will personally kick your ass for owning a PS3 and not buying his game.

It's the law.

It's at least SOMEWHAT good, in just about everyone ever's opinions. That's enough for a purchase in my book.
jkh13's Destructoid Blog
because it has this exchange of words:

LIIIQQUUUUIIIIDD!!!!!

SSNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKEEEE!!!!!

which is both awesome and funny at the same time.

I'm actually reading through the Metal Gear Solid novelization right now.

You should probably play this game because, like it or not, it's a defining game of our time, and a climactic end to a very popular and critically acclaimed series.

It also has some incredibly good voice actors saying some incredibly silly things (like snake repeating the last thing someone says as a question and grunting a lot)

It's not for everyone, and in all honesty if I wasn't sure if I was going to like the game or not, I'd maybe pick up one of the earlier games first and give them a try.

I will say this though, if you've never played an MGS game before MGS4, you'll need to do some reading for the storyline.

I had a Metal Gear book when I was a chill'un. Awesome stuff, can't beat the Doom novel though. seriously, it's a work of genious to squeeze enough story from the game to make a novel!
Theplanman's Destructoid Blog
You should play MGS4, so as to parse the hype from the actual brilliance.

Or, to roll over people in an oil drum.
mezoned's Destructoid Blog
Thanks for the explanations everyone. Devil May Sly can claim a copy of this POS. That was probably the first time someone pointed out the fact that I have very little else to use my ps3 for. *weep*
blehman's Destructoid Blog
I actually already have that book. Had it since I was, like, five or some shit. Used to have Blaster Master and Ninja Gaiden, too, but I don't know where they went.
