We've seen a few wicked mobs lay down some wicked rules at games conventions in our time, but the very idea that Mr. Metal Gear could show up just to demonstrate AC!D, an eight month old game, and cause a wave of Leipzig Convention goers to throw sanity and civility to the wind is a little frightening. But then it didn't help that most attendees at this year's massive German exposition were between 12 and 14 years old. They also know about as much as a shark that just tasted blood.

So Hideo comes on after loud German guy yells for a bit. "I say Hideo and you say Kojima... Hideo!?!"

That part of the presentation was a touch obnoxious, but at least Konami's often applauded designer will show something cool, eh? How does the MGS4 E3 trailer sound? You know, it's the one where Snake as Hideo actually shoots representations of his colleagues with a machinegun and then claims the kingly director chair that sits atop all their bloodied corpses. We kid you not.

After that he basically said, "Thanks for the support, but you Germans had better get to TGS if you want to see MGS4 because I ain't showing jack."

Presentation over.

And to think we risked life and limb for that. Have you any idea how many unsupervised ruffians we had to elbow out of our personal space before they could get within clawing and biting range? Let's not even talk about the pieces of razor sharp debris that shot off the busted up bleachers those little bastards tore through like feral monkeys.

I say Hideo and you say... Please don't shiv your fellow man in the ribs in the hopes that Hideo Kojima will see you and incorporate your cute little move into his next Boktai game.

Seriously, take it effing easy, Leipzig. It's just AC!D.
