NeoGAF poster Ephemeris snapped the photo above showing that Metal Gear Solid 4 auteur Hideo Kojima will be at the Virgin MegaStore in Times Square NYC on June 11, signing copies of the game for a midnight launch. We contacted the Virgin MegaStore's games department this morning just to confirm. The conversation went like this:
"Hi, I just wanted to confirm Hideo Kojima would be signing copies of Metal Gear Solid 4 at the store on June 11?"
"Who?" The clerk sounded half-asleep.
"Hi-de-o Ko-ji-ma, Metal Gear Solid 4, in store June 11?"
"Um, yeah, we're doin' that. Sure."
We're just curious to see if Kojima does a mega-signing in Japan for the opening there and then bends time backwards (by crossing the date line) to get to New York. That would be hardcore.

If not, that's just... sad. Honestly.
I don't give a shit if it's Kojima, Miyamoto, or CliffyB, the concept of flying somewhere just to have them sign a game is really sad to me. The same goes for artists and musicians - if someone I respect happens to be in town, then sure, I'll take the time to see them - but to actually take time off work and get on an airplane to see them... WTF?
You already show your support by buying their stuff. Do you really need to actually worship them?
Go ahead, take my hearts. It won't make you any less sad.

Bought a copy of MGS Portable Ops without having a PSP yet.
And my friends buy sports games all the time for PS3 (without having one), because they want to play at my house and they KNOW i'm not buying any sports games.
The grammar in that is a little wonky...

(I'm not saying this as a fanboy of any one system - it would be the same for any video game signing)

This is why I laugh when people get a hard-on over getting video games autographed by creators. These people aren't "celebrities" and they sure as hell are not athletes. Not sure why one geek would want the autograph of another geek in higher standing. Same thing goes for comic books.
Downvote away, turds.

You get excited over someone if you're a fan of their work. Simple as that. Doesn't have to be "OMG HE MAKES GAMES FUCK HIM!"
Same with people who get autographed albums, or autographed books.
I won't down-vote you (cuz thats just stupid), but you're being silly.

J/k of course about the above, but what was that poster in the subways? "If you see something, say something?"
