The man responsible is a gentleman, however, and a humorous chap. We watched the TGS streams today and the last embers of hope were snuffed out. Colour me crestfallen. I might return to say a few more words later.

Metal Gear deserved better than this. Us lifelong fans deserved better than this. It's very sad.

Love to all, and Love with you all always. I have one mixed feelings about this troll. On one hand, I almost admire them for the luck they had in predicting 9/11 would be of any significance to MGSV. On the other, they asked for and received people's personal e-mails, paved the way for future trolls, and the conclusion to this great big set up was the very definition of anti-climax. Ingsoc.org's clues became boring after 9/11.

About the only good thing to take away from all this, is in how much it made us appreciate the possibilities, as opposed to what we actually got out of the game itself.
