Plus that whole cancer thing..
Levi @ Jun 13th 2008 3:50AM
Yeah, and the fact that cigarette boxes literally say that THEY WILL KILL YOU.
Psaakyrn @ Jun 13th 2008 12:17AM
Not really that ironic since the game's about a dying man (even if his "cancer" is not directly related to his smoking).
EihBeir @ Jun 13th 2008 1:06AM
I don't have any problem with the image, seeing as how Snake kills everyone he meets anyways.
Kyattsuai @ Jun 13th 2008 1:12AM
That's why he's so old, all that waiting for guards to die from second-hand smoke.
Ninjakamster (PS360 FTW!) @ Jun 13th 2008 1:13AM
Snake's going to die soon, whatev, let him live out his last days coughing up nasty yellow phlegm.
boxmyth @ Jun 13th 2008 1:18AM
I wish I had a sign with that message so I could hold it in the face of EVERYBODY in Los Angeles. Inconsiderate smoking bastards...
F&%#@n' awesome game, by the way.
Toasty Toaster Man @ Jun 13th 2008 1:23AM
Now that is some SOLID ADVICE.
Ninjakamster (PS360 FTW!) @ Jun 13th 2008 1:24AM
Damn it, so many people are playing this game and my brother and I, big Metal Gear fans, are missing out.
Why did you have to fucking break my PS3, Grand Theft Auto 4? Fuck you Rockstar, releasing a game thats breaking Blu-Ray drives. So I had to get a 360 with GTA4 which is working perfectly. >: (

Got my copy of MGS4 today. It's fucking AWESOME!!!

I love how Kojima pokes fun at the 360 for having limited disk capacity, while Metal Gear has 4 minute+ loading sequences with Snake advocating cigarettes.

Magetto @ Jun 13th 2008 4:57AM
It was not poking fun at the Xbox 360. It was poking fun at the disc changing in Metal Gear Solid. Ugh that codec convo was taken so out so far out of context.
Levi @ Jun 13th 2008 3:48AM
Like rain on your wedding day?

Eh, I'd liken it more to this one time where I had 10,000 spoons, but all I needed was a knife.

Thank fuck for the smoking ban in the UK. It's so great here now that if somebody is smoking at a bus stop and they refuse to stop you can collar a policeman and get them in right shit. Works really well if you claim asthma. I hate smokers so I do this quite a lot.
HighFiveJesus @ Jun 13th 2008 12:04PM
oh you little pussy. its one thing if there's kids around or something, but to pretend to have breathing problems just because you're like one of those anal over reacting whinos like rob reiner.. well, i'd put my cigarette out and then punch you in the face.
Levi @ Jun 13th 2008 12:31PM
Gotta love that Nanny State.
32_Footsteps @ Jun 13th 2008 8:30AM
Metal Gear Solid 4 and Kojima Enterprises do not condone the cool, cool activity called smoking.
ill trooper @ Jun 13th 2008 9:39AM
Uh, yeah... If that image DOESN'T strike you as ironic then you're not getting the humor of that install sequence.
Geist @ Jun 13th 2008 1:17PM
But, but, but Snake does it! That means it's COOL!
Big_L @ Jun 13th 2008 2:23PM
Does this mean that there will be 19 seperate installs for this game?
