Oh noes! Not another Metal Gear blog! When will this crazy lunatic stop? D= Most likely I'll be writing quite a bit on the Metal Gear news to come. As mentioned in my previous blog when Phantom Pain first swirled at the VGAs with a supposed new Swedish director 'Joakim Morgen' clearly this is an anagram for Kojima and Mogren being a reference to Project Ogre. But anyways, if you wanna read more on that check out my previous blog: http://www.comicvine.com/myvine/samimista/my-thoughts-on-phantom-pain/87-87208/

So Geoff Kheighley decided to interview Joakim N. Mogren to see if this is the real deal or not and here's what we got:

A lot of people are speculating that Hideo hired Cliff Bleszinski to act the role of Joakim Mogren. If you don't know Cliffy B is the lead designer of Gears of War which happens to be one of my favorite shooters. In the interview shown above we see that Joakim is wrapped in bandages referencing the unknown character (possibly Grey Fox) helping out Big Boss. Hideo and Cliff also happen to be good friends and even have went to the Hard Rock Cafe together.

The vibrant eyes and sensual lips look very much similar.

Joakim wasn't able to say too much last night but he did show us new screens of Phantom Pain on his iPad;

Joakim did however confirm that for GDC (Gaming Developer's Conference) that we will be seeing a new trailer and that it will answer the questions Geoff had.

Also, when Phantom Pain's first trailer came out I originally thought the Joakim N. Mogren account was a joke (as in I assumed a regular fan of the series just made it for the laughs without actually being apart of it) but I decided to write to this account and got a reply back. This has been in my gallery since then (along with a Tweet I got from Quinton Flynn) that I showed to one of my fellow Metal Gear friends but didn't really show anyone else it.

Yuppers! Nick was the member I showed this to so that's why his profile was on the tab. Us Metal Gear fans gotta be sure to spread the knowledge to the non fans who want to get into the series.

Honestly, I am having an absolutely hoot seeing how this is playing out with the whole Joakim Mogren and Phantom Pains. One thing I love about Hideo is that he knows how to put on a show and to keep the fans wondering.

Be expecting another blog when the new Phantom Pain trailer releases at GDC.
