Metal Gear Creator Honored; Proves Gamer's Short Attention Span

February 17, 2009 by myka

GameSetWatch.com reports that Hideo Kojima will recieve a lifetime achievement award at the Game Developer's Conference in March.

Mr. Kojima is just 45 years old. In most industries that would make him a prodigy, where lifetime achievement awards are generally given to people at the end of their careers who have put together a body of work ranging various formats and concepts.

This once again solidifies the fact that as gamers, we just dont' have any damn patience. Which is ironic, since the game he's so renowned for creating, Metal Gear Solid 4, has the longest freakin' load time in history on the PS3.

Hopefully, they are honoring his lifetime achievements thus far, and this isn't some veiled attempt to shove him out the door, because I believe he has plenty more to come.

Don't Be An Idiot

AQUARIUS
January 20-February 18
Recheck your credit card balance -- if you're close to the limit, now is the time to settle up. There are lots of ways to manage debt like shaking trees and selling the apples that fall out. If you didn't understand this piece of advice, it's because you don't play Animal Crossing, and therefore, are not a complete idiot. Congratulations.
