Metal Gear: The Cartoon Series? Would Watch.

If Assassin’s Creed works as a cartoon, then Metal Gear can too. Each episode would probably run for 127 hours, 126 of which was verbose political dialogue, but fans wouldn’t have it any other way.

Metal Gear Solid‘s Cast, Redrawn As Cartoon Characters

Artist Matt Synowicz’s Metal Gear Solid drawings are just like concepts from a Saturday-morning cartoon. It makes me sad we didn’t have a MGS-themed one.

It’s Like Metal Gear, Only with More Panty Shots

I’ve heard Summer-Colored High School compared to everything from Skyrim to GTA.

After weeks of silence over rumors about Hideo Kojima’s employment and the deletion of P.T. from the Internet, Konami’s spoken up. But if you were hoping for answers, keep hoping.

Quiet from Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is a deadly sniper in skimpy clothes. There’s apparently a reason for the character’s sexy outfit. Ditto for this figure.

Could The Metal Gear Solid Lookalike Doctor Really Sue Konami?

As Kotaku UK reported a few days ago, an Italian doctor called Sergio Canavero is currently at the centre of an insane internet-generated conspiracy involving Metal Gear Solid V, head transplants, and a whole host of other mad ideas.
