Welcome to MetaGearSolid.org
I suppose this is primarily a Metal Gear fansite, but its purpose is deeper than paying tribute to the series, being an exhaustive resource for fans, or even exploiting the popularity of one of the most popular videogame franchises in history — it's also a form of therapy. It's part of the healing process.
With Metal Gear Solid 4, the series has become like a best friend who suddenly has a nervous breakdown and becomes a shell of his former self. It's a tragic event, and we need to work through the emotions. There are too many unresolved feelings surrounding the series today, and why shouldn't we shine a light on them?
Of course it's not all complaining! I intend to articulate what made the series great as well, and cover areas of the games that deserve more attention. And by using our impressive Digital Camera Screenshot™ technology, we can give you a unique look at any moment in the series!
If you don't agree with what I write here at MetaGearSolid.org, I have no problem with that! A lot of my analysis is speculation and dot-connecting, and is meant to be debated upon consideration. Or you could just wholeheartedly accept it at face value. That would be good too. Either way, consider sending me an email! My e-mail address is in the Briefing Section.
Oh, and make sure to read the Comics too!

February 8, 2010: "The Favorite Website Award" given to Piece Walker
Yes, the must-play competitive puzzle game that is Piece Walker has already received a fancy award, being titled the "Site of the Day" by some website whose purpose it is to pick new favorite sites every day. I guess that's pretty good.
Japanese players are dominating the game, according to Kojima Production's Twitter page. This probably is due their ability to become obsessed with quirky marketing schemes.
January 26, 2010: Online Jigsaw Puzzle Battle!
Remember how Peace Walker was being hyped since before it was even announced? Well the Hype Train isn't stopping any time soon, as you can see from this exciting teaser site, promising some crazy "Online Jigsaw Puzzle Battle":

My bet? There'll be some little twist where you can unlock a hint about the game's story or some official art or something. I mean come on... There's gotta be something. We'll all be shitting ourselves with anticipation in any case, I'm sure.
January 17, 2010: METAL GEAR DECLASSIFIED
Remember when I told you about that secret information given to our humble site regarding Metal Gear Solid 4? I've finally finished analyzing the data and am ready to present what will surely become one of the most controversial behind-the-scenes reports in videogame history.
Go to our brand new Newgrounds page to see it for yourself!
January 12, 2010: The Full Peace Walker Demo Review has been published
I finally sat down and played through the English demo of Peace Walker, and the verdict is in. Check out the report for my analysis and impressions! Peace peace peace peace.
January 8, 2010: Vamp Becomes Science
As promised, another installment of MGS4: Sold Out is here for your enjoyment, continuing somewhat from the previous article on "Nanomachine Overkill". I also slightly updated some older Sold Out articles that had faulty layout.
January 4, 2010: New Year, new plans
So last year was pretty awesome, from the many comics I created to the various podcasts and fascinating articles that were published for your enjoyment/consideration. (And even though it's not so popular, MGSFIVE was pretty cool too.) Thanks for staying tuned, and don't worry, there'll be more!
I want to get a capture card so I can take video of certain Metal Gear moments; I'm still working on that project regarding secret information about MGS4; the "Sold Out" series of articles will go on. Reviews on Portable Ops, Peace Walker demo, and who-knows-what-else will be forged in time.
Thank you for your emails and interest, and stay tuned!
December 20, 2009: Christmas Wallpaper!
Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good boss fight!

It's what you've always wanted! You're welcome.
December 17, 2009: Demo/Soldier War is over
In more TF2 related news, the double-class update for the Demo Man and Soldier is pretty much over! We don't know who "won" yet, but we know what kind of items they are going to receive. Are they awesome? Yes they are. I can't wait to see the 7th weapon, which I'm sure will go to that damned Soldier!

This art was done as a reaction to the ingenius "Propaganda Contest" held by Valve as part of the event. No word yet whether I won a prize, but considering that there were apparently 11,000 entries... We'll safely assume not!
Keep up the awesome work Valve, and guys, seriously you need to play Team Fortress 2 if you don't own it already. It's a free weekend starting right now, so give it a shot!
December 10, 2009: TF2 Updates Coming
Have you seen this? I've already talked about how TF2 is better than MGO, and the proof continues to pile up. What we have here is some kind of "war" (according to the URL) and the promise of a whole lot of fancy new weaponry.
My guess is that this will be a double class update like the Sniper vs Spy one, and I implore you to jump in and play if you haven't already. It keeps getting better and better!
December 1, 2009: Peace Walker release date
According to some people, Famitsu (that Japanese magazine) has reported that the release date for Peace Walker is officially March 18, 2010.
Sounds good to me, gives me time to finish some stuff.
November 24, 2009: Last Hour article
What the heck? Why I am writing this massive, kickass review of Last Hour, when I should be doing more important Metal Gear-related updates? Uhhh, maybe because this movie is simply too awesome to go un-reviewed?
November 11, 2009: Remembrance Day
As a tribute to the soldiers who have died fighting for their home land, in keeping with the Metal Gear theme, I've created this piece of art featuring The Sorrow.
November 10, 2009: Happy Birthday to me
And yeah, it just so happens that somebody got me Portable Ops for my birthday today, so I suppose I could do a proper review of that now! Then again, I also got a copy of Yoshi Island DS, so... I may be putting it off for a while. Thanks everyone.
November 4, 2009: Metal Gear Declassified update
Who really cares about the English Peace Walker demo promised by Kojima Productions? Not this guy! I'm more interested in this information I've been looking at... This won't be just another article. Presentation will be key.
