Metal Gear Creator Honored; Proves Gamer's Short Attention Span

February 17, 2009 by myka

GameSetWatch.com reports that Hideo Kojima will recieve a lifetime achievement award at the Game Developer's Conference in March.

Mr. Kojima is just 45 years old. In most industries that would make him a prodigy, where lifetime achievement awards are generally given to people at the end of their careers who have put together a body of work ranging various formats and concepts.

This once again solidifies the fact that as gamers, we just dont' have any damn patience. Which is ironic, since the game he's so renowned for creating, Metal Gear Solid 4, has the longest freakin' load time in history on the PS3.

Hopefully, they are honoring his lifetime achievements thus far, and this isn't some veiled attempt to shove him out the door, because I believe he has plenty more to come.

Wii Fit Huge; America Huge Too.

BIZZARO WORLD - Today the market has hit a new low but good news is on the rise, irony is America’s number one export, and export they will. The country with a 34% obese count and over 60% overweight count would have a heart attack laughing if they found out about the high sales of power pad brother Wii Fit. The US Commerce Department announced that Wii Fit is the number one highest selling game this month and one of the five Nintendo games to make the list.

“This is great news” one Wii fan said as he ate two slices of pizza stacked on one another “I’m gonna do the yoga when I'm done playing WOW, it’ll help circulate my blood, the padding on my chair is getting thin.” I asked him how often he works out hoping to find a correlation between work loads and Wii Fit fans “I walk to the bathroom and things like that a lot.” He said “The doctor said I need to go more to clean out my colon, Mountain Dew and hot pockets aren’t healthy, but get this, I lied about eating hot pockets, I'm really eating lean pockets.” He laughed “That idiot doesn’t even know.

We’ll bring you more hilariously sad recession gaming news. Until next time, I’m Jack Belmont saying , I love you.

LARA CROFT’S BED - RPG giant Square Enix has announced a take over of Tomb Raider company Eidos. They will also pick up Danish Hitman developer IO Interactive. Eidos bought IOI from EA games shorty after the release of stelar title Freedom Fighters stating “The game was too good to invest in, we need products with lower quality.”

Square Enix president Sephiroth was quoted on saying “Yeah we bought Eidos, that Laura has great hips, I wish mine where like her’s, but you know me and those mini candy bars. Who doesn’t love dark chocolate nuts? ” I asked about a sequel to bomb and Jeff Gerstmann killer Kane and Lynch “Mmmm mmm” he said “Didn’t they make Kane and Lynch instead of Freedom Fighters 2? Oh no child, you will never see that game again.

So what will we get from an RPG company who will now make action games? “We’re thinking about making Lara into a man” Sephiroth said with a grin “The whole metro thing, it works well with Final Fantasy”

We’ll be sure to keep an eye on what this unique merger will bring us. And now, here’s a little Sting to play us out.

Ok, so these aren't video game related, but you'll have to forgive me, because I damn near pissed myself when I read these.

They are done in the CSI comic style going around the internets lately, but with our new commander-in-chief instead of Horatio.

Check 'em out a 2nd one after the jump.
