We're in the home stretch of Kojima Productions' master class in drip fed PR. A seemingly endless storm has been raining on a seemingly endless series of countdown clocks.

The storm is over, and now? Now it's sunny — well partly sunny. Geddit, Sunny? Of course, the Sunny character is raised by the Patriots and appears in Metal Gear Solid 4.

There's also a new letter (or number). We can't tell which! Either that's a "B" or an "8".

To review, these letters have appeared on the Kojima "Next" site:

"S" (or number "5")
"R"
"P"
"E"
"C"
"@" (or a lowercase "e")
"O" (or number "0")

The following numbers have appeared:

"5" (or "S")
"3"
"6"
"0" (or letter "O")

...And now "B" or "8".
