This thread is making my head hurt.
Course you don't.
Also, if I thought it was real, why the hell would I be asking a supposedly real doctor if he operated on Chico?
lmao I bet its not even a coincidence.
lolWell that's a bizarre coincidence lol
This fucking thread
Hahaha... this was hilarious. I should feel shamed for forgetting this gem of a threadOh the memories, so many lols
Welcome back! Means my shift is done and you're taking over. Nothing significant happened. G'Night!IM BACK
Whatd I miss?
man i hope kojima doesn't get sued
No, here is the breakdown:
1)val spiridonov who is supposed to be undergoing the procedure, a friend of his makes a post about the ted talk given by Sergio Canavero
2)Same friend posts a link for research that says severed limbs are being healed by liquid metal.
I'm willing to bet a one-month ban that you guys are wrong. These dudes aren't secretly promoting MGS V. Why the hell would Kojima even pick out a paralyzed person to be part of this? That's going too far. Kojima using this doctor as inspiration for the in-game character is as far as I'll go.

Well... isn't that a story.
When MGSV was first revealed. It wasn't revealed. A mystery studio called Moby Dick Studio headed by a crazy swede wrapped in bandages called Joakim Mogren was having a presentation instead. The game he demo'd was quickly figured to be MGSV, but the facade continued with a personal appearance in an interview with our man Geoff.
Some time later, the game was shown again with a live appearance by "Joakim". Joakim, this time, was Kojima in a weird prosthetic face.
This is all true.

This is all true.
You forgot the bit where the internet believed the personal appearance of Joakim was actually a Fox Engine demo.
Jesus this thread XD
People are really reaching here. Either that, or Kojima really is a master fiddler.
I don't mind making crazy theories for fun. It's when people start believing them that the fun is over I still remember #TeamCG trying to convince me their proof was legit, too.
Also, I think it wouldn't be a good idea to promote a videogame this way. Who knows how many paralyzed people out there are actually looking forward to this research & the surgery? Hoping it'll succeed? If they find out all of this was just part of videogame marketing... I don't know... why would Kojima even promote his game this way? It's releasing in five months and I don't see how... or why... this kind of marketing is needed.
If I'm wrong, I'll eat all the crow there is.

The guy does look spot-on, though. I mean, leaving aside all the coincidences and thematic connections, it's pretty crazy.

Nice try, but it's Mei Ling the only chinese name in the series, unless i'm missing something
Has anyone bought this book? It's available as an ebook. I'm tempted to shell out for it just to go through it; looks pretty interesting regardless of any connections to Kojima.guys, you need to read between the lines
I'm trying not to get lost down that rabbit hole haha.
I bet Kojima read a bunch of this doctor's stuff when researching phantom pain/limb replacement and maybe even contacted him. Then one day he jokingly told the guy, "You've been such a big help, I should model the doctor in the game after you. lol"
"Go ahead."
"AHAHAHAH, THIS IS AWESOME!!!"
