While Raiden will be one of the greatest tricks in gaming marketing, and Kojima likes his weird, vague marketing before game announcements, but it blows my mind that anyone honestly thought that he would go remotely to such a level, or that he had the ability to even do considering all the factors involved with this.

Remember when we figured out The Phantom Pain was MGS seconds after we saw the trailer and then we thought Joakim Mogren was CG and zoomed in on slow motion gifs of his face because Kojima is the master of elaborate ruses and then it turns out the ruse was that The Phantom Pain was MGS?
I bet Kojima remembers. I bet it was his plan all along to throw us off using the Mogren event, setting us up for the next big ruse, making us believe we're the authors of our thoughts, when in fact he actually planted the idea of it being silly and ridiculous that this could possibly, conceivably be a ruse. This is why he was fired. He went too far. Too transfar.

Oh my God, I can't. We truly are in the dark ages. Time travel will be invented to prevent all of this. BUT THE FUTURE REFUSED TO CHANGE.
This and the fact that the guy was asking all the time about the money involved with the game just makes him look like one of those crazy people who never get support for anything because their stuff is BS.
We haven't even been able to fix 100% spine traumatisms and this guy wants to transplant a fucking human head. Ridiculous. Hope he sues and is just ridiculed because he's clearly desperate for money.

that's the silly thing about it, just successfully attaching severed nerves is pretty spotty and unreliable these days, let alone someone's entire head and all that comes with it

There was a reason I didn't post in that thread, it's because it was too crazy even for me.
It was a huge coincidence and I can't believe people kept going even when we had the shots of Ian Moore(the actor that plays the doctor in MGSV) and his scanned face from GDC.
Nope. No. NO. NO NO. FUCK.
That will not happen, it can't happen fuck no nonno.
It will probably end like the whole Lindsey Lohan and Rockstar thing.

Well done, GAF. We just delayed MGS V

Locked from someone posting his phone number and people calling it.
That would be so fucking stupid if he removed Chloe based on a few twitter comments and a message board vs an entire country.
Edit: ah it was a troll. Was hoping it was that.
Also GAF is trying to ruin Christmas!
What have we done lol
wow, this is just crazy. gaf may possibly make konami lose a lot of money with mgs v since he knows an estimate of how much it would sell and all because of his face (in his eyes when the game will actually sell cause its a well known franchise).
so now we all know why
Edit:
So wait... Kojima being fired is all apart of the plan? Oh lawd, if he actually appears at E3... GAF will lose it. MGS-GAF specifically.

I find that really hard to believe. What kind of doctor would want money?
Plus he looks like such a normal, sane guy. It's obviously Kojima.
For real tho. I don't understand how he can go straight to doing this procedure
on a living human being without any sort of testing on something else
to prove that this can actually work. It seems like his operation a giant ruse
which is about the only this in common this guy has with Kojima.
It's just a coincidence that the actor they used looks like him.
I'm sure when Kojima was researching Cyprus he came across this guy
when looking at the hospitals and said
"Hmm, I've seen an actor that looks like that in Japan. I can use him for the doctor!".
Or everything is true and Kojima was working with the Doctor and the Patriots the whole time to make fools of us all!

All the ruse stuff aside, him going to work on a human even though there's never been a succesfull animal version of the test is total bullshit.
E. And even then theres the ethics of animal testing something as weird as this
*starts to bail*
Im still team "I had no clue this would get to this point", so I'm just going to awkwardly stand here and read as it spreads.

They did some tests (chimps i think) but it never worked for longer than 4 (horrible) days.

I hardly believe the similarity is a coincidence since the resemblance is very uncanny.
Ohh this is going to be the whole Ellie 1st version = Ellen Page all over again, isn't it.

God's had his chance.
The "Wait... how much money is this game going to make? OMG that's gonna pay for the operation AND my summer home! HAHA!" comes off real bad...
Also... the whole head transplant thing. How in the grey fox are they thinking that it's going to be a success? Surely fixing broken spines/nerves would be a small first step before detaching and the reattaching someones fucking whole head?

Leaving aside that this would be the greatest and strangest viral marketing stunt in entertainment ever, the whole story of this Dr Canavero is fishy...
from this "book" on amazon with the weird index titles along with the strange reviews of it, to the cgi like picture that makes him look like a MGS character, to the whole idea of a head transplant (!!!). come on, which normal doctor would even consider something like this? This isn't right on so many levels.

This whole head transplant thing in itself is so weird and makes no sense. You would need two people who agree to do it. However I don't see a way in which both participants would benefit from it. So either the whole thing is clearly fake and is indeed connected to Kojima, OR it's just a giant coincidence that gets blown out of proportion because this "doctor" himself is a giant con-man (which would explain why he he seems to be out for money).

The scariest part, is that for a little while, There were people that were happy that a whole character was removed.

To be fair, most of the original posters spreading the ruse-business in that thread weren't part of MGS-Gaf or serious about it.

Whatever happened to the "Any similarities to people both living or dead is purely coincidental" that every movie disclaims to cover their asses? Wouldn't that alone save Konami from court?

It's funny reading something like this. People always get offended when anyone so much as talks about GAF as if it's a single entity, running for the "GAF is not a hivemind!" line, and then proceed to tar Reddit/IGN/GameFAQs/etc. in the same brush.
What's funnier is that if something was done that reflects positively on the community, everyone has no problem acting as if all of GAF did it ("Good going GAF!", "That NeoGAF shoutout!").
As for this whole Circus of Stupid Part Whatever that's happening right now, congrats GAF. Maybe Cliff Bleszinski was right in that tweet after all.
Do the people who say "lololol what have you done GAF", "Great job GAF" or "LOL we got Konami sued" actually believe in that head transplant story? because if that's the case YOU are the freakin crazy ones, not us who think this is a Kojima ruse.
