No, Thank YOU, You Magnificent Human Being. Thank You For Creating A Franchise That I Fell In Love With

No, thank YOU, you magnificent human being. Thank you for creating a franchise that I fell in love with at the age of 12 and have never stopped loving. Thank you for your love of movies. It’s totally evident in your games, and while few somehow hate the long cutscenes, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Thank you for your sense of humor. “Funny” isn’t a word I see commonly associated with Metal Gear, but each game has the perfect amount of humor in it. Not too much, and not too little. Thank you for being there for me. Now I don’t mean that you were there personally for me, but you were there for me through your games. Believe it or not, Metal Gear has helped me get through some rough times. Though I wouldn’t mind if you were there for me in the flesh… we’d be good friends, even with a slight language barrier. Thank you for knowing what’s best for your games. Where other developers would milk it for all that it’s worth, you’re not afraid to bring a decades-old franchise to a close. Even if it costs your studio being closed and losing ownership to your own work, you always stick to your guns. And no matter what Konami does with it, Metal Gear will always be YOUR game. And most of all, thank you for just being you, man. I can’t wait to see what you have next for us, free from the chains of Konami. You’re capable of so much. I hope you find a place that doesn’t question your direction and lets you complete your vision. You know what you’re doing. You’re pretty good. But anyway, that’s all I wanted to say. I don’t know if you’ll ever actually read this, but this was my little thank you. Thanks for everything. We love you, Mr. Kojima!

OH-TOTORO’s 160,000 FOLLOWER GIVEAWAY!

It’s that time again! I recently passed another crazy milestone and I just wanted to show my appreciation for all the support that my blog continues to get by giving a little something back <3

PONYOHOUSE.COM:

I have done many giveaways before, and usually I have to save up for weeks so that I can afford to buy the items for them. This time, I was lucky enough to stumble across ponyohouse.com and they kindly offered to provide me with these awesome Studio Ghibli figures in return for a simple mention here. In my mind, it’s a win/win situation. I get to provide you with more free Ghibli goodies, and it means I don’t have to do without food, hehe. ^__^ I got to pick the items myself from Ponyo House and it was so difficult to choose. They have so many super adorable Studio Ghibli items - in fact, the whole store is dedicated to Ghibli. I hope you are happy with what I picked. I wanted to choose everything, lol. I often get messages and comments when I do giveaways, asking where people can find the items from the giveaway. Well this time, you not only know where to go, but Ponyo House have also provided us with a discount code that we can use to get 10% off, which is “OHTOTORO”. Anyway, the winner of the giveaway will get ALL THREE of the amazing figures shown above! I am so jealous, as they’re sitting on my cabiinette and I’d love to be able own them myself one day!

HOW TO ENTER:

You must be following oh-totoro - As I want the prize to go to one of my followers.

You must reblog this post. - Each rebog counts as an entry. Maximum of one a day. No spam!

A photo of the winner and their prize would be greatly appreciated so I can reblog it to oh-totoro, but this is not a requirement.

DATE OF DRAW:

Saturday 3rd December 2016 (and will be announced one week later) I will contact the winner on this date and give them 48 hours to respond to my ask/message. If I don’t receive a response in that period, I will redraw. This will also be the case if asks are not enabled. Please make sure your asks are enabled.
