In 1998 Metal Gear Solid was born on the PSX. Since then the saga has been evolved like no other. Every game in the story has been an epic and spectacular event in the videogames industry.
21 years ago MG born on the MSX thanks to Hideo Kojima and Konami, the game was simple but begins a new genre: the stealth genre - avoid the enmys at any cost while usign cardboard boxes and all kind of weapons and items.
In 1990, Kojima release Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake. This time the game had a wonderfull 8-bits soundtrack, much more colorfull graphics, evoquing and original events (like catching a bird using racions as decoy, travel from one place to another inside a box or build a flamethrower in the midle of a boss figth) and also very impresive characters. This time Snake was facing his old enemy and father Big Boss and his best friend, Gray Fox.
I meet MGS in 1998, with the PSX. Back then looked like MGS was the perfect game, everybody was in love of it and the game looked plane and boring to me. But i start to investigate th characters and i was intrigued by them, the villians looked really interesting, soo i get the game i was impresed. The game build an impresive terrorits attack using original gameplay events, but also show a diverse and rich amount of characters. The villians and the good guys were soo cool and yet soo realistic and human.
With MGS 2 comes the real therath to the gamers. The game was - and still is- the first postmodersnist game. With the use of the characters and the gameplay itself, Kojima talked directly to us-the gamers- to deliver us a message.
MGS 3 was my most anticipated game ever.....i waited for it for every second, since the 2002 to the 2004. Every trailer was a major event for me, and me and many other people were obssesed with different theorys. The game comes out and it was much better than wath i was expecting. Kojima finally find the balance between story and gameplay, giving us a epic and original love story full of emotional and political deepnes in a straigthforward way.
I later buy a PSP just to play Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops. This time the game made us build a collection of characters traped with wi-fi hotspots or kidnaped on the story mode. The characters again shine, from the Perfect Soldier who has no memorys, to the telephatic girl with two personalitys.
Oneof the aspects that made me fall in love of MGS is the fact that EVERY aspect of the game is carefully crafter. the games is pure perfection. The gameplay must be refined with every entry, adding new elemnts and twists to give it more deep but without making it complicated. The story recive the same perfectionism, the script is much more plished than any Hollywood script. The music is made by a Hollywood compositor and the voices are made with profeccional actors to give to each character the rigth personality and soul.
Wath was the disposal of all this? Well, the most basic thing on MGS is the fact that THERES NO VILLIANS OR HEROS. the "good guys" always have a secret agenda or are not as good as they looks....like Snake, hes a hero, but also hes an assassin and theres darknes inside him. The "bad guys" are taking violent actions, they may kill inocent persons, but they have a reason, a motive, and more important: they have humanity and they can be the true victims of the events.
Theres no enemy in an absolut term, the enemys we face everyday and enemys in relative terms, because they are humans like us. The one who chose who is the enemy and who is not are the times, depending of our circustances, friends can be enemys in an isntant. But the only way a "soldier" can live as a true soldier, is beliving on the mission and nothing more.
But not even soldiers can find theyr way with the mission. The "justice" and "ideals" can change from one day to the next and the only thing we can do is be loval to ourselves: figth for wath we belive.....its not important if the decission is rigth or wrong, as long as if we figth for wath we belive we can trascend in one way or another.
We are always chained to our genes. As species, our instinct is to pass our genetic information to the next thougth our familly but we cant let ourselves be traped by our genes. Theres soo many ways to pass something....impostant things like traces of our life: languages, books, images, memorys and feeling. Teach this stuff between us is the only way to change the world and is our responsability with the next generations.
How can we know wath is rigth and wath is wrong? If we are controlled by some force, we need to destroy that force? We can really have liberty? Liberty have a HUGE price...the price of blood, and the price of chaos wen is exercised by an inmature specie like us. Soo is better to have some kind of "guardian" to not have chaos? But that deserv to sacrifice our liberty?
We live in a world completelly digitalized, and with this we are loosing our humanity and hope. We are giving ourselvs to the circusntances and we are loosing ourselves in a river of social evolution.
I can continue for hours and hours, pages and pages, explaining this and the other millions of ideas and concepts between each MGS. with every MGS, you can learn lots and lots of stuff, from sscience to history, information about movies and technology, ideas of how to live and wath kind of proprity give to our lifes. MGS is an amzing experience, totally uniquie in the videogame world.
From his inmature and newby days, Snake has grow like a real human being. He may looks rude and serius, like a perfect rambo-like soldier. its is true that hes a professional on his field, but also is true that he has emotions and sensitive spots, and more important: he have flawys. lots of them.
Snake once, like some of us, already lose his hope on persons, and already decide to be alone for his own good but also he needs to go against his genes and fate, go agaisnt himself soo he dicede to do a change for the future generations.
Hes now an old man with only six months of life and this is his final act. The world is now eaten by an eternal world war between genetically enhanced mercenarys and machines. The war is rutine now, and who ever controsl war - controls the history. Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots is out.
Soo, ill turn off my MGS mode xD ill be offline of msn for some days, i already have my two copys of MGS 4 =D!!!!!!
Of course, ill be checking this place everyday but ill spand my msn time to draw o_o......and the rest of my day to play MGS 4.
i am turning 23 years old this month, ill never expect to be present in a sense in "snakes funeral" :s ...................

NEODEVILMAN IS DANGEROUS!!!!!
Yhea.... xDDDD
Well, this has been one of the most horrible weeks evar xD
One of the issues that makes this week soo "memorable" for me is that i start to had some internet problems a few days ago.....basically the internet went down after 5 minutes i turn on the PC
I was left alone on the real world ;_;, but someone from the help unit from my internet service send me a anti-virus. They also help me to add manually another DNS adress and now aparently everything is working fine.
But the anti-virus detect a "haker-device" (i dunno if thats writen correctly".......and then i enter to my hotmail adress but aparently my password is wrong!!!! I think a haker change my password but also....the last time i write my password was 8 years ago!!!!!! Since then i been having the "remember me" option on, soo i am just 50% sure that my password is my correct password...but i am not sure.
Maybe is just my stupidity that erase my password from my mind or maybe someone REALLY change my password.
Soo, any help here??? xDDDD someone cant think on a idea to retrive this lost pasword???
i already do another hotmail account just in case, now is neo-devilman10@hotmail.com, add me on msn if you wish, ill be adding some of you too to my new adress. if some one see my "neodevilman10" old account acting strange, tell me cus that means theres an intruder!!!!!!
I really hope this things is just temporal........and i dunno why some one would want to hack me since i dont remember to have any enemys o_o
on a side note, i been playing Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII on the PSP......two of the new characters have really dumb storys and i feel like the game is sooo extremelly dedicated to fangirlism that is scary xD but to be honest, the game is great, have neat music, graphics, good gameplay and 80% of good story

OBSCURE: THE AFTERMATH
I had some really hard last days xDDD, thats why i been out of the internet but also i was playing a game i just found!!!
In the 2004 a game called Obscure/Mortifilia come out for PS 2 and Xbox and i wanted it soo badly!!!! but i never find it and i am still searching that game xD
But now Ignition release the second part on PS 2!!! thanks good the game was cheap and also is a weird convination of old school horror with new ideas
the story take place on a collegue and you control 8 different students, every one of them have a speciality: one of them is very strong, other one can hack electric systems, other can solve puzzles.......every character have different actions and you have always 2 characters on screen, the one of you and a partner controlled by the AI. but the best part is that you can plug a second dual shock and play with a friend!!!! its a two players survival horror game!!!!! (of course, this is the only feature that i didnt touch cus i am always playing alone ;_;)
the graphics are PS 2 graphics.....but they looks really good, with some very impresive scenes and scenarios. the gameplay is similar to resident evil but more basic cus its more based on mele weapons than guns. also the characters are normal boys, soo they cant figth very good or run very fast
The music is AWESOME!!! i already have the soundtrack and is really beautifull!!! the music is performed by the Boston String Quarter and the Paris Opera Childrens Choir soo the music is both beautifull and very creppy and atractive with child voices singing on latin o_o
the story is sorta basic......the monsters are mutated students who are in contact with some strange black flowers in the campus. the monters are similar to those from resident evil but are weaker and more serius like those from silent hill.
the characters are....well...normal boys soo they are kinda plain but they are very likeable since the voices are very good and they use to talk a lot, soo you know theyr personalitys and back storys very well. while the game have some fun parts or looks ridiculous (since is based on teens-chessy horro movies from hollywood) is also very serious and dark....theres a constant horror feeling all the time with lonelly locations, dark ligths and one of the best soundtracks i ever heard.
also some of the characters dies....some of the very likeable characters...and they die in very cruel and bloody ways o_o.......one of the girls was even raped by the monsters @_________@
i still dont finish the game but soo far only have two bad points: wen you find a save spot, you need to save cus you CANT save again till you find another save point and also the game is a one nigth stand xDDDD dont have costumes or different endings or extras....
anyways, the game is not as scary or awesome as silent hill or resident evil but is still a very amusing and interesting game with some new and original ideas fused with old school horror. the game is better tahn i was expecting and i keep my search for obscure 1 >:[ !!!!
Here is the first trailer
and the second one
Its amusing how with the PS 3 and the other next gen consoles, the PS 2 is still releasing intereting games xDDD

METAL GEAR ONLINE BETA
ZOMG!!!!!!!!1111111111111
Just a few hours till they let us play the beta version of Metal Gear Online!!!!!
I already have my INVITATION and i DOWLOAD the update for 10 looong hours....now its just a matter of begin the GAME ;D
Imagine your traped in a small japanese town, at nigth. The only thing between the town and the nearest city is a big and deep forest....and a sea of red water.
Theres no electricity, the phones and vehicle are dead and the place is full of thick fog and a rain of blood. Theres no merchant to sell you some weapons, herbs or potions. You cant find ammo in the desk or any kind of weapon, just a broom and a small pocket knife. Your not in the best of the shapes soo you dont have amrtial arts to defend yourself or a big strength.
Your in the midle of the town, only with a flash ligth and no map, theres no way to know weres an escape or a safe place, you can see only streets and some old and ruined buildings.
But your not alone, the villaguers are still there but they are already dead. The flesh of theyr bodys is rotten, theres blood coming out of his eyes and mouths but they are still walking, hunting for you. They have flash ligths, thye know the layout of the town, they have axesm knifes and even sniper rifles or revovlers!!!!
They cant die anymore because they are not alive. you run in the darknes and you can only hide and wait. your in a closet and you can only hear them out, in the streets, moving slowlly and cruying for all the pain they have in theyr bodys. you hear them howling like animals outside of the room or even laugthing like maniacs at the other side of the door.
The only thing that let you see them is the fog....you can see them like ghostly shadows between the fog. they have axes or even they are crawling on the walls of the houses. Some of them used to be friends of yours wen they were alive soo you can also hear them scream your name with a deep and aberrant voice, looking for you.
This game is called Siren =D and was released for the PS 2 years ago. sadly the game was a huge failure because its very hard and unfriendly, also very realistic and dont have super powerfull agents with loads of weapons and martial arts skills, dont have a pretty girl to rescue or a sexy chick with huge boobs who figths against monsters in a coctail dress soo the second game, Siren 2, only arrives to Japan and Europe (damn lucky euros xDDD)!!!!
Theres also a movie, but belive me, dont have anything to do with the game u_u
And now, this very under rated and highlly disturbing game is coming for the next gen!!! =D
SIREN NEW TRASLATION its coming out in two months and its excluvie for the Playstation 3 (hell yhea x-boyx >=D!!!!!!) !!!
I am soo excited!!!!! This game and Silent Hill are the games that trully makes me fell scared, and of course, this game was created by the same master mind behind the Silent Hill 1

With traditional mediums, a picture can take me 5-10 hours (i need to scan, and ink the line art and also the colors...) soo this picture was more fast but.....2 1/2 hours >_>!!!! I am sure that in 2 1/2 hours manye of you can create even 6 pictures <_<.....
