Your name is quite appropriate xbot! and for the first time ever I actually agree with jellyfishprince

"i would assume it is for tornado outbreak.. why else all of the promotion. mgs5 wouldn't need promotion it is already a well known fanchaise"

So it's raining now with a big 3 hiding

and a 120-hour wait :(

Edit: wait, there is 'e', 'E', '5/S' & '3' 

If The countdown ends at E3 on june 1 .

then i have no doubt in my mind MGS is coming for the 360.

I just hope this is the last of the countdowns...

Don't think so

Has it EVER occured to you, that the timer ends on the first day of E3? What makes you think Kojima will announce it that day? He will announce something at E3, but how are you sure its microsoft? Because E3 just happens to start the day of Microsoft's confrence? That's weak. Your going to need a lot more evidence than that.

All it is a timer to E3, nothing else.

I see a 5, 9 or e, 3, and E during the flash. If anything I expect the 5 to be facing the wrong way. So Z?E3 aka Zone of Enders 3: something here with an e or 9 in it.

According too all the countdowns, it will end 16 and a half hours before any confrence starts.
It is just a timer to count to E3, that's all, we will see when E3 approaches.

timer was cutted by 100 Hours.

8:43 Hours to go

ZOE3 looks probable too.
