Wow, that awesome dude. It's a good thing you had MGS on you at the time!

 

[shira]

Fuck Yeah!
[cheer]

 

[bigbaldwolf86]

That's incredible. Lucky you had MGS on you as well

I'm so jealous

Cool story, bro.

This can't end well for you

 

[mishakoz]

I live in Santa Monica. Whats the name of the restaurant?

 

[KillerTravis]

The Argentinian Steak he tweeted looks nice. I would love to go there one day.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Amazing.

 

[ChronoX]

That's awesome

 

[GrizzNKev]

I wish I could serve Kojima food and have him tweet it.

 

[Askherserenity]

Great story! Ahhh so happy for you, man. I don't know what I would've done. Probably cry. Did you cry?

 

[Kageshinzo]

Put that case on some glass box in a prominent part of your house, OP. Très cool!

 

[EmSeta]

I can't make out the illustration on the box..? Is it just me?

 

[Dragon1893]

Damn, that is all kinds of awesome.

 

[Wazzy]

I can't make out the illustration on the box..? Is it just me?

Took me a while but the black blob is his eye patch and then his eye on the right and then the nose in the middle and mouth underneath.

 

[polyh3dron]

Yep, in Santa Monica.

Looking at the time, I'm going to guess it was Swingers, lol

Edit: ahh Argentinian steak... http://www.ushuaiasteakhouse.com/ushuaia/default.asp

Food looks good, I'll try it some time.

 

[maquiladora]

What the foxhound say?

 

[Gangxxter]

That's really really awesome dude!

 

[Marvel]

I'm such a Jellyfish right now. That's freaking awesome!

 

[Sendou]

Wow that sounds great

 

[FlyFaster]

Cool story, bro.

-_-



anyway,

This is amazing. I would love to meet Kojima. So bad ass that you had some MGS on you too.

True Fan moment.

 

[Supreme Stephan]

That's awesome! Congrats with your amazing autograph

 

[Ridicululz]

Very cool of them, didn't know that Kojima was in the L.A area either.

 

[BishopLamont]

what an ugly doodle

 

[Don'tBeWeird]

So jealous.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

That is pretty cool. Didn't know Kojima was in L.A. Yep, I'm jelly.

Now you got a story to tell your grand kids about the day Kojima walked in your restaurant and you got the autograph to prove it.

 

[Blue Ninja]

I'm not sure what I enjoyed more, the story or m0dus laying down the law.

 

[kitsuneyo]

Stories like this are why I love NeoGAF. Well played OP

I'm not sure what I enjoyed more, the story or m0dus laying down the law.

I'm confused, why the strong reaction to that post?

 

[DracoBlade]

Pure win my friend pure win.

 

[co1onel]

I'm actually curious, how come you had a 3DS game while at work? Was it in your car?

 

[CrisKre]

In my backpack. At all times. Im Streetpass 's bitch.

 

[afoni]

You must get some insane coverage.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Missed oppurtunity OP. Should have given them the bill by getting a cardboard box out of the store room and carefully placing it on the table whilst under the box.

 

[thesuperfunk]

Please tell me you got them to sign the paper insert and not the outer cover?

[Sorral]

Nice, very nice. Congratz OP. You missed the cardbox thing above though!

If I only was in CA.

 

[spirity]

Holy shit thats cool. I bet you've been walking around in a daze since then haha. Its always a tricky proposition meeting some of your heros, they can often reveal themselves to be dicks. Glad this was not the case here, they sounded like a cool bunch.

Quick question though - Foxhound? I googled it and it seems thats an organisation within the games - are the developers collectively known as Foxhound too (I don't follow the series).

 

[Sn4ke_911]

That's awesome and Yoji is such a god for drawing Snake in just a few minutes on that case.

 

[May16]

You should have had them sign a cardboard box.

 

[Andrefpvs]

Did you asked them if "they riked it?" when their meal was finished?

Oh man, I just spent the last 3 minutes laughing out loud. Good thing I'm alone at the beach and I can't see anyone in a kilometer radius.

To OP, that was amazing!

 

[wanders]

what an ugly doodle

You're out of your mind

 

[Cels]

did you go home to get your 3ds case or something, or did you have it on hand at the restaurant (in your car already?)

 

[LeleSocho]

You made them pay? I wouldn't.

 

[CrisKre]

did you go home to get your 3ds case or something, or did you have it on hand at the restaurant

Had it with me.

 

[Gen X]

Awesome. I hope to run into Tim Schaefer when I move back to San Francisco with my wife in 8 months.

You want to run into Tim Schaefer with your wife? O.... k.......

Cool little story of the night: Kojima, Metal Gear artist Yoji Shinkawa, and the whole gang just had dinner at the restaurant I work for, and I have a great little token to remember the occurrence:

Such a great group of people!!! I expressed how much of a fan I am, and they told me to bring a piece of paper for an autograph. Decided to bring my 3ds case (with Metal Gear Solid 3D in it ;] ) and Kojima looked surprised and happy, then proceeded to sign it and passed it on to Shinkawa who doodled The Snake himself. Told them I can't wait for Metal Gear Solid 5 at what point they all cheered lol.

no lie: that is cool as hell.


I think it was great you didn't take pictures of them eating. I've seen people taking pictures in public of people they admire, and I think it's kind of douchey doing that without asking.

It would have made my day if he had taken a picture of Hideo tweeting his food.

 

[Ultimadrago]

That's one to keep for the records, OP. The event certainly must have made your night.

Did they order the sexiest item on the menu?

Quiet, you.

 

[Izcarielo]

why didnt you get a photo with them??? man you have lost one hell of an oportunity!!

 

[DC R1D3R]

What was he wearing?

 

[thesuperfunk]

Quiet, you.

Thread keeps on giving!

 

[DecoyOctopus]

what an ugly doodle

Really cool story OP. I'm so jelous of that Shinkawa sketch!

 

[RedBaron17]

That's actually pretty nice OP. And i'm glad Kojima was cool enough to do that for a fan. I remember someone mentioning something along the lines that Kojima was kind of a dick. Really glad that was not the case.
