His job title was planner, and he was the first person at Konami to hold it. Which was great, except he had no idea how to make video games. with his vast knowledge of film, Kojima thought, he could make something fantastic.

If he could combine the fun of Super Mario Bros. Almost instantly, Kojima fell in love with video games and the possibilities they presented. In college, Kojima got his hands on a Nintendo Famicom, the system that would eventually make its way to American shores as the Nintendo Entertainment System, and played Super Mario Bros.

Witness a celebration/takedown of this landmark game with the combination of insight and hilarity that Ashly and Anthony have made their careers on. After nearly two decades, Metal Gear Solid's once-innovative stealth mechanics seem outdated, the cutscenes have lost some of their action movie punch, and the game's treatment of women is often out of touch.
