Coney! I wondered if posting about Metal Gear could somehow summon you here. It's not like anyone but you and me is going to give a shit.

No, but I just assumed it would be awesome. That's not a part I'm worried about. And, although I think The Phantom Pain is an awful name (even if it's only the first chapter), that's not really what's bothering me either.
I'm just not sure if I can get over replacing David Hayter. I'm reasonably fond of Kiefer Sutherland, he's in some of my favourite films, particularly some lesser known gems. But he is not Snake. David Hayter is Snake.
I am liking this growing trend of putting movie stars in video games though. I mean, we've had some celebrity voices in games for years now, but it's becoming more common and, significantly, the characters they voice are often physically modelled on them now. I just love how games are getting treated more and more seriously as both business and art. I can't wait to see what GTA 5 is going to deliver. Apparently Hideo Kojima, upon seeing gameplay from GTA 5, was so impressed he was concerned MGS 5 was not good enough. That's fucking praise right there.
