Free at last, free at last! Japan’s Nikkei is reporting that Solid Snake’s Daddy has officially left Konami. But wait, there is more! The outlet is also reporting that Kojima is forming his own gaming studio, and is in talks with Sony Computer Entertainment.
Maybe: ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ getting Black & White release in 2016
You may recall that George Miller made a black and white cut of Fury Road. He did. He wanted it on the home release. He didn’t get what he wanted. But now! Now that wild (purportedly intended) version of his may see life — in the futzing theaters.
Monday Morning Commute: For my ally is The Force

This desired event is so soon that it borders on incomprehensible. It has devolved out of an Upcoming Event and into some Abstract Potentiality that I cannot come to grips with. In a little over three days, on Thursday at 7pm, I’m going to be experiencing a new Star Wars.
This is Monday Morning Commute. Where I share what I’m looking forward to during a given week, and then you return in kind with your own happenings. This week is obvious: The Force Awakens and Everything Else. But fuck, I’ll list all of my anticipations for you.
