@icarus212001: Let's not forget the possibility of virtual impotence.

Is there going to be the ability to have a virtual paternity test in this game?

@The-Dayman: That's what I thought. Time to remember to use virtual condoms and sign some virtual prenuptial agreements before the virtual custody battles begin.

@Legrasse: It's a face of someone who will be (prediction time) out of a job in a year. Not that he'll be hurting for money...

@-MasterDex-: When a company is put into a time frame that is strict with heavy penalties for not meeting a deadline, sacrifices are made. I get the sense that if the whole two-year timeframe had been thrown out the window and MW2 had been given more time, a lot of the issues that it had/has would have been taken care…

How can anyone put their trust in Activision oversight at this point, or even the things they say? For so long they've been driven by branding and franchise instead of consideration for their employees or a sense of creative freedom. If they don't pony up that royalty dough and change their Goliath ways soon, the…

@Ramistat: This is true, but there are certain legal invocations that can be used to force the payment of unprovided royalties. Someone on these boards had brought this up in a previous blog post when there was rumor of Activision's withholding of royalties. And thus is the problem in having signed contracts with…

@Hey_Blinkon: That would work for me as well. Letterman set the standard for Conan in the first place, and though he has toned it down since the Late Night days, it would still make a bitter fit for Conan to replace him than it did in replacing Leno. Craig Ferguson is great too.

@BlueBadger: Yes, it is finally drawing me to the network for something other than sports. TBS sitcoms and shows haven't necessarily been quality, but they have caught on, and if Conan can bring in some interest, it could be a boon for the network.

How would this even work? Apocalypse now had some action in it but was dialogue/story heavy. Hopefully this wouldn't just be another war FPS.

It'll be interesting to see what game they make. Will they compete with CoD or do something new? It's a lot to live up to now, but hopefully they've learned a bit from this past iteration of studio-dom. Hope all of the people there have, even Activision. Remember, even Darth Vader redeemed himself in the end. Then…

@Pretty Sneaky Sis: Yes, yes it would. And seeing as this company is also in Encino, they could possibly walk down the street to the new workplace.

The artwork he did for FF6 was amazing. In fact, his whole career has been. Check out one of his art books, usually at your local fine manga/anime retailer, it is worth the time.

Anyone else look at these screens and think "Shadow Complex"? Not a complaint though, loved that game.

Stupid. This game is amazing! Why must Microsoft and shortsightedness continue to go hand in hand?

I got the feeling that, with some more time and perhaps some more outside critical examination, this game could have had a more plausible story. A few more lines of dialogue, maybe some unlockable dossiers, just a little more explication as to why things happened the way they did, especially on the front of how the…

@Brian Ashcraft: My hero. :D

"I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum."

@FoolsErrand: So even if this is pure, unadulterated Metal Gear goodness, you wouldn't buy it because it has sponsored products in it?

How about this: throw in a megaton of advertising. Screw the rations, make Snake/Big Boss eat a pack of Doritos for health. Need to steady the nerves for some sniping? Genuine Bayer products. Pile it on. Then charge us $5-10 for the game itself.
