I always heard Hideo Kojima liked his liquor but I didn t put much stock in it until I read this interview with him over at Boomtown. The Q&A is chugging along nicely: Kojima loves MGS, Kojima hates third-person perspective, MGS4 will have a theme of Nowhere to hide." But then the interviewer makes the mistake of asking him about the new consoles and Kojima philosophizes like only a man into his third bottle of whiskey can.

If you allow me to express the three hardware platforms in a funny example, PS3 would be like a dinner that you only have once a year or twice a year on your anniversary etc.

Xbox 360 will still be a special dinner so you might go there two or three times a month on the weekend or Revolution is the kind of great dinner that you have everyday at your home. What I want to emphasize is that all three are dinners meaning that they have a salad, they have a soup and maybe have a dessert but they are a little differently, maybe other dinners have two salads or two appetizers or maybe extra coffee on top of that. The point is that they are all individualistic dinners. So if they are all dinners, like a steak dinner, the choice is up to the users and the game designers at the same time.

On behalf of gamers everywhere, allow me to ask: What the fuck are you talking about?
