Chapter 3 - Kojima's Solution
It was now Saturday, as Kojima sat at home in his kitchen, trying to find out SOMETHING he could do
to satisfy his two main characters for his Metal Gear series... eventhough both of their ideas
sounded pretty stupid... like as if they were made up by some sort of untalented author who thought of them in 5 minutes.
He sighed, and took out a pencil and piece of paper. "Okay," he thought to himself. "Think hard now, Hideo. What did Snake want again...? Oh yeah!"
He tightly grasped his pencil and jotted:
Snake's Demands:
Get Rid of Raiden
Kojima thought some more. No wait... but did Snake still want to get rid of Raiden? Didn't Kojima already
tell Snake the purpose of Raiden? So that he'd look cooler? Kojima thought some more... then erased what he wrote. "Ok... and what did Raiden want? Oh yeah..." Kojima threw away his pencil and paper over his shoulder.
"Fat chance I'm doing THAT!" he laughed to himself.
"Raiden doesn't have enough fans to support his own single game title!! That's exactly what happened when I made my game 'Hideo Kojima's Boxorama Fama!' It sunk like a rock!" Kojima rubbed his head, and just then, the phone rang.
"Ooh! I hope that's Avon!" he gleamed. He stood up and raced to the phone.
"Hello-hello-hello??" he asked all happily.
"Uh... hi, Mr.Kojima." It was Raiden.
"Oh... it's you. Look, I've been thinking about the Metal Gear Raiden idea..." Kojima began.
"Oh? You... have?? Well, I've been thinking about it too..." Raiden interrupted.
"You're giving up the idea???" Kojima asked, his face lighting up.
"What? No! I'm not giving that idea up! It's the best idea I've ever had!!"
Kojima snuffed.
"But, I decided to EXPAND on my idea."
"Oh... Can't wait to hear this." Kojima sighed.
"Damn straight. Anyways, my idea is that we sell Metal Gear Raiden to only ME!"
Kojima's eyes widened.
"What...? Only make ONE copy?" he asked. "Do you ... do you realize how much that's going to cost the company?"
"Uh huh!!" Raiden agreed. "I know how much it'll cost! That way, I can bring down Konami! MWA HA HA--"
Kojima hung up the phone.
No one makes fun of Konami... not to Hideo. No one defaces Konami stuff... not to Hideo. No one
eats stale Twinkies... except Hideo. But EVERYONE knows, that if you tell Hideo you're going to bring down Konami or
bankrupt it or something, you're in for a lot of hurt.
Hideo then picked up the phone again, and dialled good ol' Solid Snake.
"Snake, it's me." Kojima said,
"Get the guns ready, I'm going Fox Hunt-- I mean, Jackel Huntin-- I mean.. AUGH! I'm going to go kill Raiden!!!"
