TGS 07: Hideo Kojima feeds Major Spoiler some Rations

Continuing our Tokyo Game Show coverage, Gamespot got to talk with the one man who is THE man when it comes to Metal Gear!
No, not you Ryan. Sit down.
We mean Hideo Kojima, who decided to feed Major Spoiler some Rations and reveal some interesting facts about Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. This pretty much wraps up nearly everything that has been revealed at TGS this year, plus some other details you simply did not fucking know about.
Interesting things to point out:
The BOOTY AND TEH BEAST can be saved from their furfaggotry rather than just fucking killing them. You will also see which one of the wimmenz you just saved and you might be rewarded, somehow.
Sunny is sunny and everything revolves around her. Typical bitch. Also, Sunny is nine years old... however the game takes place during 2014, and she was born around 2007. TIME PARADOX!!!
Johnathan (aka Mohawk John) does not like getting it from behind. emoXwolf might.
If you are gay and didn't notice before, the Haven Troopers have tits. Huge tits.
How many weapons are there going to be, Kojima? OVER SEVENTY!!!
Kojima realized that selling Metal Gear Online separately would fucking suck, so the "STARTER PACK" that comes with Guns of the Patriots will essentially be the first version. New shit will be downloadable--however, it's entirely possible that they could charge for the new maps, rules, and nude mods.
Kojima wishes he did shit differently back in 1998.
While Kojima might want the Metal Gear series to continue (BECAUSE IT'S LIKE JAMES BOND), he actually does not want anyone else fucking with Solid Snake, regardless if he dies or not. I fucking agree. I also hope that by "Solid Snake" he also means "Big Boss."
Guns of the Patriots is totally the last game in the Solid Snake saga (or whatever the fuck you want to call it). ALL of your questions WILL be answered! Such questions include: "Who is the mystery man?" "Is Vamp immortal?" "Which one is canon, The Twin Snakes or the original?" "How many more retcons will this game make?" "Who is Major Spoiler?" "Why was Portable Ops so half-assed?" "METAL GEAR?!?!?" "Why does 1up want Kojima to eat a dick?" and "what."

Ashley Wood trolled us.
Kojima Productions playboy Ryan Payton, the very same man who said he really wants to make a sequel, said that he's going to "jump in" (OH SHIT XBOX 360 PORT CONFIRMED?!) and tell us the truth, before this "spirals out of control."
"Not really sure what's going on with that blog, but maybe they were referring to Ash's work on the MGS2 digital graphic novel?
...we're not developing it right now."
I guess the ZONE OF THE ENDERS 3 DELAY BUTTON broke down or something. Maybe Solid Snake fed it sixteen plastic explosives.
Solid Snake, we salute you for your efforts. Or maybe Hideo Kojima himself did it because he's sick of people bitching at HIM about Portable Ops when he seriously had very little to do with it? Maybe Europa did it? Well Mr. Anonymous, we salute you.

TGS 07: Portable Ops 2...

Remember when Ryan Payton said that a sequel to Portable Ops was likely to happen since Portable Ops absorbed Japanese money like some sort of sick Yen tampon?
Well, Ashley Wood claims that he is working with Kojima Productions on cutscenes to an actual sequel to Portable Ops for the Sony PSP.
So apparently the missing link between Snake Eater and Metal Gear wasn't actually revealed in the first Portable Ops? Guns of the Patriots won't be revealing enough for anybody to figure out why Big Boss is Big Boss? Was The Boss' death and the whole Army's Heaven bullshit not enough to fucking make Jack snap? Does somebody have to push the retcon button again to make this game fit in the already fucked up canon storyline?
Doesn't matter. Portable Ops was a low-budget game with high sales. In fact, there is a sinister Europe-hating device that only Kojima Productions knows about (i found out cuz my friend works there lol) that, once activated, creates a half-assed Metal Gear Solid game based off of the Subsistence engine that finishes it's job within mere months. It's called the "ZONE OF THE ENDERS 3 DELAY BUTTON!"
...thus, a sequel is born out-of-fucking-nowhere. On the other hand, maybe all the problems that kept me from enjoying Portable Ops will actually be fixed this time around... and maybe this time whoever actually writes the script (hint: not Kojima) actually has a sense of humor (hint: Kojima).
See, I have nothing against Kojima Productions making money. I really don't. I am against their "we're making it so that the first Metal Gear makes sense" PR bullshit. There is one question that could be answered though...
"Will Big Boss finally die in a sea of fanboy cum?"
Hopefully not, because somebody needs to have his pre-rendered face on the box art, am-I-right?
EDIT: LOL JAYKAY WE GOT TROLLED

CONFIRMED FOR BRAWL! (Break from the TGS 07 Coverage)

Tokyo Game Show apparently doesn't have enough news for us.
Guess who's awesome?
"I'm fucking awesome."
It seems that Sakurai and company seem to be stuck in a time warp because today's JAPAN TIEMkek!! is a little old for my tastes. Fear not, because while we already know that not only will Snake (or "Big Boss' head attached to Snake's body" according to Ravi) receive his sexy bum (you don't want to click wink) plastered all over Super Smash Bros: Brawl and a level of his own, he gets a little more bang for his buck. A theme song for him that is very reminiscent of a Disney Pirate movie and the current theme song used for the depressing gun-in-mouth trailer for MGS4.
His theme is titled "Metal Gear Solid: MGS4 Love Theme (Smash Bros. Brawl Version)," love indeed.
Dance! ...wait, people still use CD players? Wait... that's a fucking grenade! Wait! A CD playing grenade!? AWESOME! Snake's super special move.
As you people have known for practically a year or so, Snake cannot use guns. Instead he uses less lethal means.
Yes, fucking explosives. But that's cool he can still punch, punch, and kick like nobody's business! He also can softly caress another boy.
Some of you are however wondering about how Snake can get back up to a platform if knocked off of it. No, Twin Snakes rules do not apply. No back-flipping-rocket-riding-harrier-chicken-running bullshit here. No sir. He instead find help else ware.
So that's how snake survived the Hudson River two years ago! Sneaky Snake! Shoosh-shoosh-shoosh-shoosh-shoosh!
That is it for me. Major Spoiler is getting restless.
