I know, screw Konami Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Painis less than a week away, but for now, you may enjoy a really strange commercial involving a cardboard box wedding. It’s more like an homage to the series, showing touching moments throughout multiple games, in addition to an advert forPhantom Pain. Note!

Some of the breakdowns focus on the mechanical attributes of a genre, such as the Platform and Sports worlds, whereas others focus on thematic attributes, like the Crime and Movie worlds....

Countless others will die casually at your hand, who cares? But damn, better not kill that dog. Fallout 4isn’t risking this sense of loss, likeFallout 3did....
