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.
It's the law.
LIIIQQUUUUIIIIDD!!!!!
SSNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKEEEE!!!!!
which is both awesome and funny at the same time.
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.
Or, to roll over people in an oil drum.
