Scruffy hair, new glasses, artist's goatee; only feels right that now he can rock the Anno look, after all the crap he's been through...

[Monk Ed]

Holy shit is that logo for real? It looks awesome. And he's operating under that old moniker again! My understanding of IP law is that he can do that because it's his actual legal name.

I already miss his former look, personally, especially because I enjoyed him looking so much younger than he actually is (it gives hope to us all), but as with the new forum colors I expect I'll adjust a lot more quickly than I think.

[Blue Monday]

I hope the new IP is either the horror collaboration with del Toro and Junji Ito or a classy geopolitical mecha franchise. Actually, I'd also like to see a Kojima take on a samurai period piece.

Here's some new info:

http://gematsu.com/2015/12/sony-publish ... -before-pc

Kojima has agreed to develop his first game as a PS4/PC-only game, and development is being supported by Sony Computer Entertainment. SCE (Sony Computer Entertainment) will be the publisher. The game will be "something completely new."

[Monk Ed]

I hope, whatever it is, that they sell it well with a really good trailer or playable teaser. Silent Hills wasn't super hype because it was a collaboration between Kojima, del Toro, and Norman Reedus (and Junji Ito but we didn't know it yet), it was super hype because P.T. was one of the best horror experiences ever made and it was just a demo.

This just in: an interview with the man himself:

Sounds like they're making a mech game of some sort. Kojima's explanation of the logo design was pretty interesting, and he really wants to work with del Toro in the future.

[Blue Monday]

Wish. Granted.

The next big patch dropped. Grab all those rewards for things you achieved months ago.

Okay, my minds made up. I'm getting this game.

Despite the holiday craziness, I managed to fix little errors in my MGSV-based fic! I'm damn proud of it overall, lack of reviews aside. Repost if anybody missed it:

Anywho, I'm very interested in seeing where Kojima and his new studio will be headed. Roman era mechas, perhaps?

Oh, here's an adorable EVA drawing by a new Internet friend of mine: http://milk-ko.deviantart.com/art/MGS3-EVA-575743756

Sorry about not responding to your fic earlier, SSD, but I have read about half so far and it's really good. I like how you characterize Venom and Quiet and their relationship.

No worries, I know the holidays are a busy time of year. Glad to hear you like the fic and their relationship so far

Also: I think this is my new favorite Quiet/Venom fic. Possible spoilers (haven't finished reading it yet) but they bond over 80's music.

Junji Ito was involved?! (insert usual anti-Konami rant here)

New Year's greetings that Stefanie RT'ed. Happy Venom is too damn adorable!

That's adorable.

Who here's a bad enough dude to write about Otacon's obsession with NGE? Or maybe Kaz is a closet otaku of something? Hop to it, EGF: http://archiveofourown.org/admin_posts/4579

Anywho, I have a slow-going (lol life) Quiet/Venom romance fic in the works. It'll be a hell of a lot shorter than my Elegia fic, just need to find the time to finish writing the sucker up.

Out of curiosity, just what did y'all name your Diamond Dogs custom emblems/etc? I hope to start up my own run soon, I'm thinking of

Not sure if?  SPOILER: Show

butterfly emblem

with "Venom Butterfly" or "Quiet Venom" text, something cheesy and cute, for mine. Zap's is "Venom Butterfly". Still trying to think of a funny name

SPOILER: Show

for Venom...Something like "Victor Smith" to make "Venom Snake" roll off funnier?

but I think whoever on the Internet came up with "Sports Johnson" struck gold.

My PMC is named Omega XOF. Back when I first started using the butterfly emblem I named it Naked Chick to make Quiet feel more accepted and welcome.

[BobBQ]

I made a screenshot of mine.

[Sailor Star Dust]

Vince Small-time and I shall rescue Kaz tomorrow, probably. Happy I got an A on Prologue (good time apparently) since I'm admittedly not the best at camera control modern games. I think I made the birthday March 1st for The Simpsons "lousy Smarch weather" joke. (I'm more of an SNES/PSX kind of girl.)

Is there a place to check your name/birthday settings on the iDroid? I know you can see the avatar/DD emblem.

Not that I know of, but you can change them by replaying the hospital escape.
