Hideo Kojima was banned by Konami from attending Game Awards
Hideo Kojima was supposed to show up to the Game Awards. He was supposed to accept an award for Metal Gear Solid V, which is by all accounts his final work on the franchise. ‘Cause, his ass is fireddd!!! #Vince McMahon. But apparently bro couldn’t even do that, because Konami banned his ass from attending the show. The weakest of sauces.

Hideo Kojima has officially left Konami; his non-compete ends in December
What has long been anything but confirmed has now been confirmed. Hideo Kojima has officially left (or is it “left”?) Konami. But don’t look for him to sit around on his ass long, as his non-compete expires in December. Any thoughts as to where he goes? What he does next?
Tuesday Afternoon Commute: #infinity is an illusion
I’ve spent the last week wondering what the fuck I’m doing. Let me tell you — the life of an adjunct is brutal. I stand a mere seven days away from starting a semester, and I don’t know what classes I’m teaching. How many, what time, their subject level. And I stand and I gaze into myself and I wonder why I put myself through such rigors. Every semester. The answers are obvious but when you’re stressed, when you have a haunting sense of not pulling your share of the financial weight, when you have a new mortgage, they seem to evaporate before they have any chance of distilling into anything appreciable.
Lord, I don’t know.
Konami apparently running its company like a gulag; cameras everywhere, timed lunches
Well. Fuck. No wonder Hideo Kojima got fired/got the fuck out of dodge. A man of his sizable personality and auteur-vision certainly wouldn’t fit into the gulag that Konami has become.
Del Toro: ‘Silent Hills’ may be dead, but I still want to work with Kojima on a game
From the Ashes of Suck rises a potentially awesome Phoenix of Collaboration! Shitty figurative language! Wee! Come and stop me! Or! Focus instead on this rather awesome little development. Konami may have strangled Silent Hills into oblivion, but that disgusting act of malice may not have ended a potential Del Toro/Kojima project.
