It’s been a month since MGSCON & still can’t find the words to express my gratitude to all the people who helped bring this crazy idea to life!
Thanks to all the amazing fans of this community who watched virtually or who flew from all over the country (& beyond) to join us! …
My parents gave me a lot of great Christmas’, but I don’t think one stands out as much as this Christmas morning. Tearing open the PlayStation 2 and Metal Gear Solid 2 in absolute awe. Thank you
@Kojima_Hideo
for all the memories 🙏🏼
Get a metal gear rex they said...
This took me WAY too long and I had to reconnect the limbs WAY too many times but it’s finally together. Will take some nice pictures and do a video explanation soon but for now me and my lil chapped fingers are going to bed 😴
@LilNasX
Interesting how all the gay people in the world continuously saw heterosexuals their entire youth and still aren’t straight.
Never understood the “BUT THE CHILDREN!” point of view. And yes I’m a mother of two.
I’m afraid it’s been… 9 years.
I don’t think I had ever been so amped for a game release in my entire life before MGSGZ. The trailers, the theories, everything was so heightened. I can’t believe it’s been 9 years.
You guys realize that apps like this are often used to engage with groups of people we don’t get to engage with in real life? I don’t walk around talking about metal gear all day, the people in my life don’t care. We come here to share things we enjoy with those who feel the same
@Chris_Grosse
Only time I’ve bothered a celeb in public.
@gwenstefani
in Starbucks was amazing and a special unintentional diss that I didn’t recognize Gavin (thought he was her trainer the way he was dressed) but I’m glad I ignored him f that dude. 🤣
@trishapaytas
I used to watch trish (found her because I love Tarantino films AGES ago). Finally unsubbed after the DID video. Saw frenemies & thought wow, this person has grown a lot. Watched every week.
Now I’m an H3 fan. Honestly, you’ve turned your own audience against yourself 🤷🏻♀️
1998: I played a video game with my Dad
2014: Met Hideo Kojima
2016: Walked down the aisle to Quiets theme
2019: Met Yoji Shinkawa
2022: Started a convention to celebrate Metal Gear
2023:
❗️ANNOUNCEMENT❗️
MGSCON is coming to Los Angeles Summer 2023!
I’m soft launching the site to get a grasp of how many are seriously interested in the event so if that’s you - take the poll and/or sign up for the Kickstarter notification.
Metal Gear Nation, spread the word!

@AmyKinLA
Jackie Brown, Kill Bill V1&2, Inglorious Bastards, ... how many other films have such badass female leads? Tarantino is my favorite not just because his writing and directing is amazing but because the female empowerment I see.
Some healed some fresh, all of the nostalgia. Memories of playing Metal Gear and Tomb Raider with my brother. My favorite films and series. My video camera, cds & even the Dr.Pepper 💖
I have soooo much to say and so many people to thank but my brain is mashed potatoes so I will make a post as soon as I’ve got some sleep. Still so much to do 😅 but for now I’ll just say
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
You’re allowed to be excited about the remake.
You’re allowed to be worried about the remake.
You’re allowed to hate the remake.
Everyone is going to feel how they feel and that’s alright - can we not rip each other apart for differing opinions 😅
Ok Metal Gear Twitter my new goal is to organize a METAL GEAR CON (which licensing wise won’t be called that 🤣)
Thank you
@DavidBHayter
for taking my dumb questions. Seriously life made. Now let’s get the crew back together again 💪🏼
& thanks
@shainehinnant
for being 👑
Woah you guys are rad thanks for the love I didn’t think anyone would see lol
Here’s more of the piece and the reference (lines are roughed in for now)
METAL GEAR FANS:
Would you attend a Metal Gear Con (name tbd) in or around Los Angeles, CA?
Comment below if you would be willing to reserve your spot via a Kickstarter.
I’m making this happen it’s a when, not if.
Still can’t put into words how grateful I am for all the people who made MGSCON possible ❤️ Finally unpacking all the stuff and wanted to say thank you so so much to the amazing fans and artists who gifted me items I’ll treasure forever. I’ll stop being sappy soon promise 🥹
Ima be real I woke up at 5am on Sunday and cried thinking of all the ways I dropped the ball but everyone has been so damn supportive and understanding and I just can’t put into words how grateful I am.
@BBGameStudios
Everyone: OMG Kojima may be involved
BBG: no no no guys he’s not sorry for the mixup we didn’t mean to get you all excited
Also BBG: posts blurred man with eyepatch with faint text above similar to “a hideo Kojima game”
There is a vast difference between - admitting you are in over your head, refunding money, and backing out of a project after taking a loss in time and money
vs
Backing out with no notice, taking the money, saying you “owe no one an excuse” and belittling anyone upset
I don’t know how to put into words what today has felt like. Thank you to each and every one of you for supporting this insane dream of mine that we now get to make a reality. The pressure is now on but I have no doubt we will make this an amazing event. Love this community 🥹
Wore my Kojima productions jacket to a brewery and one of the guys working there asked me where I got it. We chatted for a min, he showed me his foxhound Lock Screen and I told him about mgscon. So fun finding a fan in the wild ❤️
I keep unearthing metal gear stuff while I pack our house up and I’m not mad at it.
I remember being devastated that that was what snake was going to look like in MGS4 😭
I’m sure everyone is sending you this but found you
@VogtRoberts
!! Thanks for the dope shades 😂
This game is amazing and love finding familiar faces in the world!
#deathstranding
I’ve been working so hard against so many hurdles for this and I’m so excited to announce MGSCON has finally launched! Follow
@MGSCON
for lots of updates in the next few weeks!
No one would be at arms if they were returning to simply create for themselves. Do art! Make novels! Do all the things!! But don’t ask for more money and for people to blindly believe. That’s what’s gross.
No one:
Absolutely no one:
Metal Gear Fans: APRIL 30TH
❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️
Happy April 30th metal gear fam 💕 I’m happy to see mgs Twitter blowing up and coming together. Best fandom around 🙌🏼
To anyone who needs to hear it: The world is a better place for someone because you are here, whether you believe it or not. Its ok to let people know you’re not ok and it’s brave to seek help. This life is hard and can become unbearable, but it’s always worth living. Keep going
A real conversation between me and my husband tonight:
Him: we don’t really need the PlayStation 3 do we?
Me: yes we do
Him: what would you even play-
Me: METAL GEAR SOLID 4 ARE YOU KIDDING ME
Haven’t posted to my channel in 8 months but came back with a little reaction of the new Metal Gear Solid Delta trailer!
I don’t know why but this shot of snake weirds me out 😅
My 8 year old mind was blown by so many things being possible (the codec reacting to your situation, the box, the knocking, the cigs). The bosses were legendary, the women were badass, the sneaking was hard as hell. & I fell in LOVE
25 years ago today, METAL GEAR SOLID was released in Japan and changed the video game world with its gameplay, storytelling, graphics, and attention to detail.
Tell us your favorite memories from playing the game!
Until I was 25 and met someone at work, no one I knew (other than my brother who was younger) was a fan of the series I loved so much. That’s why when I found the community on here I was thrilled and started regularly coming to Twitter. Let people enjoy things y’all it’s simple
Alright that’s it I’m going to stream metal gear solid 2 tonight. April 30th just has me all nostalgic and it’s been SO long since I played last.
Blame
@shainehinnant
I’m hyped.
