I Think I Died A Little Inside

That's not Photoshopped, folks, nor is it a late April Fools prank.  Behold the face of Metal Gear Solid for years to come!

Konami recently held a press conference in Japan where they shilled products like an informercial, announcing (and displaying) the various product-placement throughout the game.

Although the MGS series has never been a stranger to the practice, it always felt like the products were relevant to it in some way.  Now, I don't think they're even trying anymore.  Should I expect Hideo Kojima to make appearances from now on, covered in sponsorships like Captain Amazing?  Will "Axe Snake" be a recurring character?

Thanks, corporate world.  You all are making great strides towards a better society.  Make sure to leave your filthy fingerprints on everything I love, because I just can't get enough of it.
