This is a reminder to all you douche-bags out there who haven't finished their Metal Gear Collaboration Submissions: YOU HAVE TEN DAYS!
I know you guys might be tired of all this updating after Jeff's written about this twice and Stamper just tossed out a rant as well, but it's apparent that three wasn't enough, because you guys still aren't submitting anything. I know I won't make an impact, especially if they can't, but I've got my dick out already, so I might as well toss it into the wind as well...
Newgrounds is a cesspool of video game parodies. There's literally hundreds, if not thousands of video game parodies on this site. Some of them are very good. Metal Gear has had the honor of having 75 recognized parodies here on Newgrounds, most of which are hilarious. Newgrounds is now calling on fans of the franchise, of parodies, and of the site to contribute to making one grand tribute to the stellar stealth action franchise. Among the 75 recognized tributes already on Newgrounds, there are at least 60 unique authors who are familiar with the franchise. If just half of those animators were to contribute a 15 second skit for this thing, we'd have almost 8 minutes of content alone. Throw in fans and animators who have never done a Metal Gear parody and we should be looking at several more minutes. Theoretically, this could be the biggest site-wide collaboration to date.
... But it's apparent that this isn't happening. Why not? Has the well been tapped dry? I think not. Among those recognized parodies, only a handful cover Snake Eater, and not a single one of them covers Portable Ops, both of which stuff themselves with content worthy of a good joke. And what about SNAKE'S REVENGE? A Metal Gear game so terribly bad and ridiculous that Kojima officially denounced it. Anyone who has stumbled across this game has likely laughed the entire way through. And can we forget the AC!D series? Stealth action via cards? What? Or an ultra vibrant pulp look the second installment adopted? There's so much there and so little being done.
Watching the MGS4 trailers alone should inspire many to make any number of silly cartoons. Chicken-legged cow-sounding upright tanks? Homoerotic fight scenes? Screaming bitches in ridiculous suits? Dick-grabbing? Drunk diapered monkeys? Snake's extreme ass-cleavage? This is the Holy Grail of parodies and the game isn't even out!
So, everyone, please participate. 5-30 seconds is not much to ask. This game franchise has more potential than any other to make for a fantastic collaboration here on Newgrounds. If this fails, I can't imagine what else wouldn't (except for Sonic and Mario, which are both incredibly retarded and whose parodies have never and will never be funny).
Come on, you have ten days. Be a part of something awesome.
Also, I am aware that tossing your dick into the wind is not a real phrase. I don't care.
