I voted Goku, but they are all wrong answers. No matter against who or what, when or where, or even why,
the answer to "Who will win a fist fight...?" is always

At first I thought it was whiny voiced trash, but it's actually a pretty nice upbeat song. Whiny voice could, you know, be less whiny, but the beat's nice.

I can't believe that thing was real. Imagine the man hours put into that.

You wish you had such a cute maid =3

Taokaka from Blaz Blue. She's cute and hilarious.

I mean, I wouldn't put my dick in her, but I'd like to hang with her.

That's pretty good, I gotta admit.

[size=12]OT[/h]: I once heard a lot of screeching and growling in an alley near my house a while back. It was dark and I couldn't see much. All I saw was two thick things fighting each other. They tipped over the trashcan and got my attention, so I took out my flashlight and shined it over there.
It was some furry fucked up thing, like a cross between a raccoon and a possum, raping a street cat.

The cycle of life continues...

Oh! I heard that happens, too.
I have no idea, actually. I always married Chrom to Sumia before then so all I know is heresay from a friend.

If he's not hooked-up before a certain point in the game, one regarding an insane king, he will propose to whatever vag is available that he's closest to in rank.

That really is impossibly cute and...hot.
Get it? Hot? Because she has a fever! ha...hahAHAHAHA!!

No but really, when I click on her am I essentially shoving the thermometer in and out of her mouth? That seems hilarious. Thanks for the pics, dude!



I saw that, too, mate! I could swear there was an English guy in there somewhere as the game was being played. I don't know. I skipped around a bit.

I'm not too keen on the new battle HUD. The health bar seems too candy-gummy if you know what I mean. It doesn't feel as computer-oriented as the previous one, though I did dig the different colors.

And does anyone know who that Japanese woman is in the vid? She's in most promotional stuff for the game (outside character trailers). I thought she was just the Good Smile Company representative at first, but is she someone Nasu knows or something?

And you thought romance in Fire Emblem Awakening was simple...

The forums and threads therein, especially this one, are for everyone, mate. Your memories are just as welcome here as mine.


I bet he's waiting to get a budget so it can be finished it off with a LotR type epic film.


Ha Yeah, same here. I also learned some Japanese from Fakku!, like "Megane", which for me means "instant erection".


This really touched me...

No but seriously, it was touching, mate. I hope the same happens to you in life, too.
Thank you for sharing like that. It's what I was going for with this thread.


Neither do I, mate. It's strange how the forums on a porn site can be so, like Grenouille88 said, warm. But I guess that's Fakku! for yah.

This is the conclusion to an animation I saw a long time ago, back when I was first romping around on the forums here...


It's bee quite a while since the first animation, and watching this brought back the first time I saw it: on these forums. My first impression of the animation was that is was too gloomy with little purpose and ended...odd.
I still think that.
Yet now I find this video and kind of smile. I remember making a comment on how angry that first video got me (due to a number of different things at the time), and one commenter told me to just relax and not be so judgmental. They said that, even if it seemed too depressing without any reason to me, it made others feel, and that was the point. That reply to my comment was talking about art and the reason behind even the most sad piece of art: to illicit emotion from those experiencing it.

Since then I've been called a fag, a good game reviewer, an idiot, the greatest IB poster ever, and the worst ranter ever all on these forums. Time's passed, things change, the site's changed, but the familiar feel of these forums still remain.

I don't know. I just got sentimental about Fakku! after seeing this and all of the characters here like TehMikuruSlave's comments, Zak's depature, animefreak_usa being a strange mix of reasonable and hysterical and Antw0n with his comic about himself in Fakku! land or whatever that was.

-Remember when Katawa Shoujo was first announced on here?
I thought "I bet the burnt girl has a dead eye. It'd be funny to see.", only to later on realize how much I give a shit about my waifu Hanako.
-Then there was the introduction of Fakku!'s mascot, and in a forum section somebody had started drawing a bushy-browed foil to her (which I guess never took off, but was great fun to see).

Fuck, I don't know. Like I said, I just got sentimental is all. I like you guys. There's more than a few idiots out there, but there's also the folk on here who'll help you get your head straight and show you a good time.
Aw hell... I like you guys.
There. I said it.

What about you lot? Any Fakku! memories to share? Want to just comment on the video?
I posted this in random because it's, well, random.

I see. EscapistMagazine and Yahtzee are awful in my opinion, which is why I never thought to look there for any info. But if this is really the case then I see I've overlooked something massive here.

While I still think Kojima personally might be a dick, I can see now that, despite his clout, he really isn't in control. I also see that I made a big mistake in just raging about the man when clearly it's, yet again, corporate higher-ups in charge.

I have a distinct issue with viewing creator intent and action from the perspective of a literary writer, where the author does indeed have more say than anyone. However, this is often not the case in other mediums, and especially not in videogaming. I simply assumed it was applicable to Kojima because of the authority I believed he had, but I didn't recognize the hands reaching down over the guy from Konami.

So sorry everyone for the rant about Kojima and the end of Metal Gear. I still believe what I believe about Kojima personally, and it won't change, but this perspective of him and the continued milking of MGS beyond its conclusion and him blaming the fanbase has changed drastically.

Thank you, bakapink, for explaining yourself in a mature and reasoned manner. Hope you can create what you want to create with shackles similar to other creators out there!

Firstly, Zelda kinda sorta does star a different protagonist, but that silly/somewhat clever bit aside, it does star a different cast every game. The only two mainstays are the princess, the hero, and ganon, thus finding a way to make new stories but with the same familiar characters.
It's pretty clever, I'd say, though you're right about:


I suppose that's what it is, isn't it? Due to the backlash in MGS2 with Raiden, Kojima will likely never again try a different protagonist and cast in a Metal Gear game.

Problem is that Raiden was shat on because the game pulled him out of left field. It started with Snake, as we all expected, but then surprises us with a vastly different protagonist. We wanted to play as Snake, not be tricked with Raiden (though I grew to like him).

I believe that if, presented in the right manner from the beginning (without being tricked), people wouldn't be averse to playing as someone else with a different cast. Not like Zelda, but like a series starting anew.
People are scared of change, but when change is done right people appreciate it.

Though I suppose going at Kojima alone isn't entirely fair, since I doubt anyone will try a change at this point in the gaming industry. It's not exactly in the best shape for anybody to be trying new things...

Also: Mario games bewilder me, and I am astonished people even get in a tizzy about the storylines to them. Honestly. I can't answer you there. I'd agree with what you said about "familiarity breeding consumer comfort which turns a profit".
...It's not your words but it's pretty much what you said. You hit the nail on the head there.

I honestly think that would be preferable to anything MGS5 will be. I had thought of that a while back and wondered why he wouldn't be willing to do that. Both new and old fans would adore it and, as you said, it wouldn't retcon or contradict the end of the series. Clever, mate. I'm totally in agreement there.

And I understand Konami is in charge, but with the clout Kojima has in the industry these days I find it hard to believe he's that much of a slave to their whim. I'm certain he could think up an alternative, like the one you just mentioned, and yet he plans to continue the series and keep Snake around longer.



I...I don't even...
What are you talking about? What does FF or KH have anything to do with anything here? Do you mean would I have a problem with the retconning? Because I still would (if I still cared about either of those franchises). Or do you mean would I have a problem with KH's never-ending story?
If the story has an ending, and the creator keeps thinking up contrivances to bring the series back after the ending, it is something I'm against.

Ex: If, God forbid, they made a new Cowboy Bebop series but it was a sequel series where Spike Spiegel is brought back through the miracle of science, it could work in that universe (plenty of cyborgs, ay, Jet?) but it would undermine the ending the series originally had. The impact of its denouement would become entirely hollow and ruined.
_Similarly, I'm an MGS fan. I love Snake and really dug Otacon from the start. I was overjoyed to see such closure for Raiden and happy to see Maryl and Campbell reunited (though now they were father/daughter which was odd but I rolled with it). I truly enjoy these characters and would keep playing games starring them...if it felt right. MGS4 was the end for them. Revengeance was a silly fun diversion for most and I understand that (don't agree, but I understand). But to make an MGS game with any of these characters in starring roles, especially starring Snake, would ruin the end of MGS4.
-I mean, not personally since I would ignore it, but conceptually and from a "canon" standpoint.

Also, FF isn't a series like KH but just a franchise. Except for the XIII nonsense all of the FF games are independent of one another (from what I remember. Haven't played them in ages, not since FF6).

So just answer me this: Why can't there be a new Metal Gear game with a whole new cast, directed and written by Kojima and company? Or if not that, then something like pihip suggested above?


Firslty, people bought the next MGS game because it was the next MGS game.
Secondly, I'm sure you've been in the MGS fandom long enough to get this feeling. Forums, message boards, comments, commentators, etc. most all agree that MGS2 is the weakest of the four games and all for either the same or similar reasons. Haven't you seen enough "bullshit ending" and "wtf is this even?!" comments involving the MGS2 game over the years?
It seems people like MGS3 more because of its story, its setting, and because of it's general theme and feel. It also seemed to have brought in more people who were put off by MGS2 and/or never played MGS1, as you'll find more people saying the "futuristic" advantages in MGS4 didn't appeal to them in comparison.

If you like MGS2 then good on you. It had some good points I'll say, with Raiden being one of them. I liked him even when the people were calling him gay and a poor substitute for Snake. He was a different character from Snake, and I appreciated that. I also liked his backstory and felt for him.
There's plenty wrong with MGS4 but I still find it to be my favorite MGS game.



Exactly, mate! That's exactly my point. Don't you think that's wrong?

I swear this thing exists! It's a manga, or two I beleive, where some very well drawn girls are individually gangraped by a swarm of giant sperm. I think some evil bitch is behind it, commanding the giant sperm.
Giant. Fucking. Sperm. Like the size of small dogs.

There's no penile penetration with the girls, either, if I recall right. Just gangs of giant sperms shoving their bulbous heads and I think their tails into the girls and then splashing themselves all over/inside them.

It's the weirdest manga I've seen and it was pretty damn funny for me. I want to find it so I can show it to everyone I know because they don't believe me it exists.

Last I saw it it was on E-Hentai. Might've been on here, too, but it was untranslated (I think) so I doubt it. The latest one had a large breasted woman.

Any help you can give would be amazing, guys! I need to show people this and to add it to my collection, if for nothing else than to just enjoy with a smile...
...And a very awkward fap.

...I'm the one who gave your zombies chlamydia.

Like, all the fuck over their bodies...

Also genital warts...of the (dick)head.



Look, they kept asking for brain, so I decided to give them brain. It's not my fault they didn't ask for a test from me first.

I may not agree with some of the other things you said, but I'm all for this right here, mate. All for it.



Mate, once something loses it's feeling, its soul, it loses its right to be called a part of the series it came from.
But even so, considering how the series has really become MGS:Retcon with each new installment, I think by now even a fan fiction can be considered canon.


Well for one that can't happen since MGS4 said again and again that he's aging to death and nothing can stop it. At all.
Secondly, did you even read what I posted in the OP? About Kojima saying Solid Snake's story isn't over? Or are you, like the rest of us, just scratching your head over how and why the fuck Kojima is bringing him back?


Supposedly so, but we'll see what's what after the GDC next week.
And as I mentioned before, I'm all aboard Kojima starting ZOE3 finally. Even though it's a game series stuck with big dick robots.
"Cockpit! Get it?" Oh Kojima, you're such a fuckin' card...



Fuck me I forgot about that! I remember my cousin cussing up a storm when we were younger over that shit.



hah Touche.
But don't forget, no prior MGS game had power point sections dedicated solely to trying to make sense of what the hell was going on.

-Revengance was not "somewhere else", it was the same place but told through the wacky craziness of Platinum Games. I meant give a new threat that makes sense, with a new cast that works within the MG universe and a new hero. If it was written well it could work.
-It wasn't really a new cast because of Raiden and Sunny. He was so out of character that it may as well have been a completely different character, like the ones in the office helping him out. I genuinely didn't mind those guys, even the girl who spills coffee on her keyboard every other minute. I mean, I guess you could still have Sunny because she's a part of the Metal Gear future, but Raiden didn't need to be there.
And by "tone down the social commentary" I mean stop having blunt, elongated speeches on shit that has barely anything to do with the plot. Maybe there's a mention here and there, definitely put it in subtly, but don't have it the way it was because it's bad writing.

You're a fellow MG fan, right? Are you telling me you enjoyed listening to the characters go on and on and on about social issues that were barely relevant to the story? That's not a good thing to be a staple of the series.

The way I see it, taking it away completely WOULD make the game barely Metal Gear, but toning it down, making it subtle, would improve the game and the series as a whole.

This is starting to sound way too sketchy to me. Also sounds a bit too much like the Indoctrination Theory for my taste as well.

I honestly wish the Metal Gear series would be taken somewhere else. Bring in a whole new cast of characters with a whole new story. Focus the plot back onto the Metal Gear, and tone down all the social commentary and batshit conspiracies.
Why can't this happen? Didn't the MGSolid series end with 4? Put some new blood back into this franchise.

Let's start way back in MGS1. Good game, good characters, but stuck amidst a bunch of pretentious tripe involving social commentary and some conspiracy bullshit. Right, well we could look past that and find joy in the gameplay and characters. Hell, we even swallowed the crazy clone plotline because it made for good drama. Also: neat! The endings change depending on what we do!

Then came MGS2, which is widely considered the worst MGS game made, primarily for the horrible story. There's a lot of perspectives about it, but none that Kojima intended. No one speculated "Well, what is a nation?" and "Can we really tell if our lives are not just a part of some greater pattern woven by people greater than us?". Nope. We speculated "Wait, is Raiden meant to be a mirror for the gamer who wishes they could be Snake? Is Kojima telling me to fuck off?" and "Why did this game get so stupid, so confusing, so BATSHIT INSANE? Is Kojima telling me to fuck off?"

Then we have MGS3, which is widely considered the best of the series since it has great characters and a conspiracy plot that actually kinda makes sense (in comparison to the other games? Yeah). And no more nanomachines = Deus Ex Machina bullshit! Hooray!
_But what's this? Kojima wants to walk away from MGS? ...Are you fucking joking? What about Solid Snake and Otacon and Raiden and EVERYTHING from MGS2?! You want us to just sit and play guessing games over your wackadoo nonsense?!

"Once again I'd intended for MGS3 to wrap up the series, but so many people wanted to know what happened after "2". Things like the identity of the Patriots and so forth. I had planned on leaving those mysteries as mysteries, but people weren't convinced that the series was wrapped up." -Hideo Kojima
http://www.konami.jp/mgs4/uk/interview/03.html

...Oh, you do.
...
Is Kojima trying to tell me to fuck off?

And then came the fan outrage, which is still considered a divisive topic among even the fans. Should Kojima have given into the fans and gone ahead with MGS4? Should he have put himself into the co-director seat for a game he did barely anything but bitch about in interviews during development?
_Speaking as a writer, we creators have an obligation not really just to our fans but primarily to our creations. We need to treat them with respect, as if they were our own flesh and blood. We imbue our sweat, our time, our lives into our creations and we can't just leave them incomplete. Not if we want to consider ourselves anything more than hacks.

Kojima had an obligation to the series to give it a real ending, even if it was one that would have to tackle the colossal task of answering ALL the questions Kojima's trip down crazy (aka MGS2) brought up. Now, yes, it didn't need to come with fucking death threats. That's just... What the hell, man?! Fuckin' nut cases doing death threats! But even so, it needed to be done.
Not the death threats, but the closure. Death threats are bad.

MGS4, the game that, though most rightly argue is full of retcons (like every MGS game) and has so much expository dialogue that it can drive a man mad, is considered to be the end of the MGS series. It's the end because it did what it needed to do: answer our questions (though it did so in a confusing manner) and brought closure to the characters we'd grown endeared to over the years (though it did so with a LOT of contrivances). It is flawed and at times fuckin' stupid, but it's the end.
[size=6]...I like it at least...[/h]

...Or is it?
"Metal Gear: Revengeance! Oh, boy! A story about Raiden? As a badass cyborg ninja? Well, I thought him having a family and getting a life at the end of MGS4 was great, but fuck it! I'll play along! Can't be more worse than MGS2!" - Someone other than myself.



...Someone IS telling me to fuck off!!

And then there's this:
"Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance never claimed to be a Metal Gear Solid. This is not a game about our beloved Solid Snake. It is a spinoff that tries something different. We have not yet finished with Solid Snake, despite the fact that I wanted to let him die at the end of Guns of the Patriots." - Kojima
http://www.gamesradar.com/metal-gear-solid-5-apparently-confirmed-kojima/

So MGS4 is not the end, and Kojima doesn't give a fuck.

[color=red]EDIT[/color]: Change of perspective and change of speaking, mates. Enough of you have managed to turn me around as the more literate of you have pointed out something rather obvious I missed in my blind ranting argument here: That, considering Konami is indeed in charge with MGS, and considering the state of the gaming industry these days (what with the recession and all), it's likely Konami will not let Kojima move on from MGS any time soon.
Also, I made a mistake in reading his words as him blaming the fans when he actually hasn't [size=5]yet[/h]. I changed the topic title to reflect the change.

So the topic is still open about Kojima as a creator and whether MGS should end, but I apologize for the rant regarding him AND the ending. Still think he's a dick, but a tragic one.

For those of you who actually have something to say: What do you guys think?
