If i recall correctly, Strategyking ripped through DTG in the original thread, who posted the exact same OP.

I guess a year has passed.

Wow. Even after what I wrote and what Tombi wrote (and what others on page 1 have wrote), people still don't get it.

DTG made a thread like this one with the exact same OP (which he came up with), everyone gave him crap for it, Strategyking is just reminding everyone of that thread (so this thread is not serious).

This thread is a copy of that one and is a joke to remind everyone of DTG's insanity.

CAL4M1TY is correct.
Just celebrating the 1 year anniversary.
So This is a remembrance thread, although if I could make some VGC newbies to think I was serious, it was a plus.

1 year anniversary? Isn't it more like a 10 month anniversary?

After having watched this overrated but mediocre movie it's hard not to be beaten over the head with all the apparent coincidential similarities to MGS.

Batmans raspy voice, which came out quite forced seemed like a nod to David Hayters Solid Snake as the two characters sounded essentially alike (besides the fact that SS sounds much more natural having done this voice for over a decade)

The thematics and pseudo philosophies of TDK also quite overtly borrowed from MGS. The themes of chaos, control, manipulation, heroes, anarchy, etc were simply too numerous to be considered merely nods to MGS. Much like The Matrix practically ripped off Ghost in the Shell (and did a poor job at that) TDK quite shamefully borrowed almost complete lines from Kojima's games. Some of the lines of being a hero (or not being one), of chaos and control were so similar to dialogue used in MGS that it felt almost distracting while watching the movie.

That TDK made such shallow use of Kojima's deep thematics was ever so aggrivating, not to mention the fact that I had not see the director or writer admit to MGS serving as an obvious influence is what makes this all the more shameful.


Those aren't particularly deep or novel themes. Do you realize how many previous films and works of literature have dealt with the same thing as MGS (and more gracefully, as well)?

Ah internet forums.

They work just like corporations.

You need a dozen people to repeat the same things over and over to each other before anyone is satisfied.
