Let’s Talk About Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro Singing Karaoke Together

Alex from GamersFTW writes:

“People buy in to this relationship between Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro because they’re creatives who demonstrate a deep connection between the industry and its cultural heritage. They happily glorify the tangible products of Geekdom; whether that’s through the books, films, Karaoke, or the video games they love.”

I really enjoyed watching these two at DICE 2016, even if we didn't get anything solid about Kojima's next project. The bromance really was palpable, and somehow inspiring.

It was the best thing about the Summit.

The two are freaking awesome together.

I'm getting really tired of news about Kojima... Seriously... He's just a game designer, he's not Holywood celebrity. It would be okay if we couldn't pass a day without news about him if he actually released some good game, then it would be okay, but like this it looks like pure madness, seriously...
And it comes from me, a huge goddamn MGS, Snatcher and Zone of The Enders fan... Seriously, guys, please, stop posting this everywhere.

Can't say I agree that he isn't a celebrity. Just like Christopher Nolan is a hailed Director in cinema, or Ben Affleck is a hailed actor in cinema, or Eminem in Rap, or Taylor Swift in pop, etc. Hideo Kojima is a celebrity in gaming. This is a gaming centralized news gathering website after all.

I myself really enjoyed the DICE awards, and hearing GDT talk about some goofy thing he did with Kojima, brings a bit of lightheartedness to the anticipation of his next project.

Edit: i didn't see this anywhere aside from live, so I can see where you are a bit tired of seeing it if you check multiple websites for new gaming news

Ugh... Whatever... I'm just really tired of seeing his name all over the place, especially considering how unfulfilling and undeserving of all those 10/10's MGSV was. He should be booed, not celebrated.

Eminem in rap
Taylor Swift in pop

Totally legit

So because he made one game, amid a hurricane of bullshit, that didn't deserve 10s, in your opinion, he now should be booed, and not celebrated?? For one game? Yea what a great long time fan you are. The reason there's been so much news about him is because we've never seen this happen before. How do you just kick out one of the greatest minds the industry has ever seen? He's a free agent now, so it's like the whole thing when Lebron James first went to Miami. It's a big deal. But you don't have to pay attention to it.

Yes, he should be booed, in order to actually get better afterwards.
You know what happens when people celebrate somebody too much ? That certain somebody starts to lose grasp on reality, he starts believing that he is awesome himself. And then he thinks that he can do no wrong. And then he does and people deny the reality of the situation themselves, because he is already a authority in their eyes and can do wrong, they'll get defensive and impossible to penetrate with logic.
MGSV is a perfect example: this the first game in the series to have this little character interaction, so much useless grind, microtransactions, no climax, no last boss and basically no ending... And I won't even start on how much the trailers spoiled and lied to us with cutscenes that were never in the final game. This should booed, this should be discussed without any kind of respect for Hideo Kojima and his struggles against KONAMI in mind. The game should stand on it's own.
Here is a bulletproof evidence of how MGSV failed, I have no more "bubbles", but I know that I won't need them after this - https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Really feel like you should start your new game body pillow.
