Hideo Kojima A "Huge Fan" Of Twilight, Will Judge Your Fan Art

Michael McWhertor, of Kotaku.com, writes:

"Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima is apparently a fan of Stephanie Meyer's Twilight series, opting in to judge a fan art contest themed around the second entry in the romantic vampire action series, New Moon.

That's according to a release from Japanese artist network pixiv--pretty much the overseas equivalent of deviantArt--which has tapped Kojima, Evangelion character designer and manga creator Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, and Twilight manga artist Ryuji Gotsubo to judge a Twilight: New Moon fan art contest.

Kojima, who I'd wager aligns himself with Team Jacob, is reportedly a "huge fan" of Twilight, according to the Anime News Network's translation of the release. He'll contribute his expert opinion as well as a signed copy of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, apparently, to the list of grand prizes."

That's what I'm talking about because of Stephenie Meyer the vampire lore has changed, vampires use to be creatures of the night that would scare you $hitless but now they are a joke!

What ticks me off even more is when all these preppy girls talk about all this stuff vampires I'll mention the word Dracula and they will just look at me as if I'm crazy!

"yes i am a guy (i think)"

The first thing resounding in my head was: GROSS

A Man is A Man, it can be any speculations about that

Twilight is gay, but maybe take a time to find something in the base of the story that at least worth something, put aside the crappy love everywhere and maybe there is something no gay

I think about this, because at the same time I say twilight is gay, I have more than enough with the typical testosterone + anabolic (Marcus Phoenix) guy in the typical tough guy story

Is like the McBain movies in the simpsons but without the fun

"-McBain to base! Under attack by Commie-Nazis!" XD

2 - Not sure if that's a good thing or not...

...the books may be good but the first movie screams MFT (i.e. Made For Teen). Usual teenage dialog which is overly dramatic with pristine vampires to support the romantic plot.

The movie was average at best.

5 - Okay...

Kojima:
-Likes Twilight
-Includes some subtle gay innuendo in his games
-Is very...."pretty"
-Makes games including men in skin-tight sneaking suits
Seems a bit gay, but he created MGS, making him the most heterosexual and awesome man on the planet.

As much as I enjoyed MGS4 (though MGS3 is the best in the series IMO) I couldnt help but notice all that "gayness" going on in MGS4. It's not just the tight outfits, it's some nuts cracking moves, naked asses and other stuff. I thought that "weirdness" was just a Japanese developer eccentricities, now I'm not so sure.

Color me unsurpised though, Kojima is a genius, and many genius in the past have been, well you know. LOL

I dont hate twilight, I dont love twilight. It's just ... Twilight.

I find it hilarious that there is such a big deal made of the series, either from the fans or the haters.

Still gotta love some of the comments here, Funny stuff.
