Inspiration for this poe...Err...Video Game

So we all get inspiration from many sources, and those of you reading are probably expecting me to have a funny story or odd little tidbit. Maybe later people, I gotta rest too you know :P but Hideo Kojima has listed off fifteen movies that has influenced the Metal Gear series. Surprisingly enough, Escape from New York isn't on the list, but here are the ones that are:
  • The Guns of Navarone
  • The Great Escape
  • Goldfinger
  • 2001: A Space Odyssey
  • Planet of the Apes (original work)
  • The Deer Hunter
  • Dawn of the Dead
  • Full Metal Jacket
  • Predator
  • Die Hard
  • Heat
  • Black Hawk Down
  • Children of Men
  • Bourne Series
  • 007 Casino Royale
All of this proves to show that Kojima really loves his movies and the fact that each one of his MG games has enough cut scenes in them to make up two to four movies....well you get the idea. The man loves to spin a tale. If you can read Japanese, hit up the link and have a look for yourself otherwise you can just enjoy the pictures of the movies and Kojima himself.

In traditional fashion of my blog, I usually have a funny story or interesting little tidbit to add. This time around I think I will save that for another post. If you are on Halo and know me, drop by on my game. Good chance I will be trying to capture some good screenshots for a forum signature.
