Kojima is hardcore, says he'll make games until death photo

Hideo Kojima is not here to mess around when it comes to making games, because the Japanese know that making games is SERIOUS BUSINESS. Case in point: at a recent apperance at the Apple store in Ginza, Tokyo, Kojima was asked by a fan how long he plans to participate actively in the industry. Kojima whipped out a mock resume, which read "I'd like to continue being on the scene making games until I die." That's dedication, brother!

Of course, like most people, Kojima does have one thing that would lure him away -- in this case it's donning a flight suit and flying into space. Nice. I want to do that too! As soon as those round trip flights to Mars get a little less pricey (although Kojima could probably afford them now).

I hope he meant he would die while literally making a game. Imagine him dramatically telling his studio to make the greatest game before falling forward onto his desk. "Hideo? Hideo? HIIDEEEEEOOOOOO!"

Hideo Kojima is easily one of my favorite game designers. The man definitely has a gift.

Evidently, he also has a gift for taking badass resume photos.

GO KOJIMA GO!

I picture Kojima's death in the game studio as a very dramatic cut scene where people dance-fight and something blows up.

Think about it, what else is he good at that he can find a job somewhere else that is not related to video games?

If there is any justice kojima will die 60 years from now moments after he got the GOTY for his ultimate MGS game...

Its either that or the ultimate Zone of the enders or perhaps both...
