i was listening to my favorinte game under podcast today.

In it, I talk abuot a game I have NO MEMORY OF ACTUALLY PLAYING. In fact, if any one had bet me a thousand dollars on my testimony of having played this game I would have doubled down (and lost).

Have you guys ever had a failure of memory about a game (or anything) like this?

... keep in mind my story about waking up twice and not only knowing not what country or room I was in, but actually lacking an identity at all, which I attribute to my bi-nationality and house made up for two buildings.

Oh yeah. Primarily with sub-par RPGs. For instance there was a SNES game called Lagoon that sat on my shelf for years. I know I played it. I remember going out and buying it, and coming home and turning it on. I could not tell you a single detail about the game other than the main character had blonde hair (and now that I look at screenshots, it would appear I'm wrong about his hair so I officially remember nothing about the game). No idea about the story, gameplay, or even really the graphics now. You could put it in front of me with another name, and I'm confident I'd have no idea that I had played it.

Last two I think.

WTF?! Kojima quits Konami? That's some crazy megaton shit right there if true. That was probably the last good thing that Konami had left.

I'm thinking its a joke.

But then again, this has been the way with the Japanese games scene over the past 10 years.

I thought it was funny it is if SEGA owned Mario.

GameSpot: Kojima to leave Konami after MGSV, power struggle, communications embargo

A fallout between Kojima Productions and its owning publisher, Konami, has led to senior staff at the studio being restricted access to corporate internet, emails, and phone, GameSpot understands.

Along with the restricted communications, key developers at the studio, such as Hideo Kojima, will now have limited opportunities to lend their appearance to promotions of the studio’s upcoming game, Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain. Power struggles between Kojima Productions and Konami have led the publisher to make drastic changes, including the employee status of its Metal Gear team. Some senior staff at the studio, including Kojima, now essentially work as contractors, not permanent employees.


The extraordinary measures were revealed by a source within the studio, speaking to GameSpot on the condition of anonymity. The person explained that, once the Phantom Pain project is finished, in all likelihood the management at the studio will disband.

"After we finish MGSV, Mr. Kojima and upper management will leave Konami. They said their contract ends in December," the source claimed.


The person added: "At a team meeting, Mr Kojima explained that team have to be one and make a good game for fans."

Mons douche!!!

Consoles aren't Konami's focus anymore.

nintendo is the last Japanese developer still making consistently great games. Capcom, Sega, konami, Namco, square, our entire youth is practically gone.

I can't believe this. What a horrible day this has become.
