an Influential note.~

Ahh,, It's been long dear friend; dear author of strange fantasy! I hold a strange almost Religious connection to this man.. I almost hold a certain honourable respect for the subject of my re-tale, presently; the kind of reverence held for a great Teacher, or someone who has given the gift of insight & enlightenment...~

I dare say no more, no great intro will suffice anyway,, to the raw ability of this creative mind I speak of.~ This is about someone who gave me so much knowledge; so much strange understanding, as if it were effortless,,, a natural and expected occurrence.~

One of the most influential, and genius of minds this world has ever know is that of Hideo Kojima (小島 秀夫).

His design of the Metal Gear series captivated my interest, my respect, my almost frightful reverence, and fear-of-the-dark mentality throughout, as if any One of his authored characters would come out of the tiles, and strike me with their Realness, and horrible power from their displayed ability.~
The way he took his story, laced it with actual footage, facts, and strange details; never heard of before, yet, so oddly Realistic and so Possibly & ABLE to truly be happening in a world as strange as that which we presently (and previously..) live in.~

He laced in Imagination, and yet, Realism.. Not just that crap that makes you Think its real,, but the facts that make you think, "Yeah! This is probably actually going on!"

I can contribute countless pieces of both Fact and Figure to him; ~ It was the first time I heard of Geno- anything (genetically modified soldiers, or a "perfect race"-prototype through genetics~), Strange technology (such as the inner-ear communication radio/system they use, called the "Codec", where you can talk as if you were on a radio across the globe, without any sounds emanating or escaping that of your own inner eardrum..~~

Maybe he didn't Think up these things; maybe he was just Re-telling facts and figures he obtained, But... He did it so beautifully,, do artistically, or masterfully, and MOST OF ALL,, HE know it, before any of us ever did...~~ He was a genuine Genius, and I bow my head in conscious reverence and unfathomable ad unmeasurable Respect.~

It would be one of the greatest honours of my life to meet this man, Hideo Kojima (小島 秀夫). It would be a terribly fulfilling honour indeed...~~

Les Enfants Terrible!!.. he brought that to me as well.~ The idea of twin-brothers, brothers of ability, skill, and complexity~ Brought to completely opposite spheres of life; one good, and one 'evil', yet, there is still a displayed Bond almost between them,, even in the Struggle against each other, you just feel drawn to both of them,, and almost want Solid Snake to become evil as well, and give in to his brother Liquid..~~ to join the ranks, and control the world..~~

Now, I know it wasn't him Single-handily; I know how the production process works..~~ Maybe it wasn't even HIS idea, but all I know is, every time I turned on my Play Station, I would see his name in the credits, I felt at Awe at his personal ability~ So.. to end this,, I stand, and with a firm resolution, I bow before Hideo Kojima in utter reverence, respect, and almost adoration.

Honour.~ bow
