There’s a Metal Gear Solid Risk Game? Seriously?
![]() |
War has changed.
Private Military Companies have taken the place of state armies as
the world’s primary war machines. As the fires of war continue to
spread, take command and wage the ultimate battle for supremacy. Hire
one of eight legendary bosses to lead your soldiers, including Solid
Snake, Raiden and Liquid Ocelot. Coordinate with arms dealers to gain
tactical advantages over those who would oppose you.The age of deterrence is now the age of control. He who controls the battlefield, controls history.
Game comes complete with:
Over 290 custom game pieces:
5 PMC Armies
8 Bosses
Outer Haven Battleship
Drebin’s Shop Cards
Territory Cards
PMC Headquarters
Custom Outer Haven Game Board
Custom Earth Game Board
7 dice
There are only 2,014 copies of the game being made, and pre-orders will begin promptly on October 3rd if you want one. I’m trying to figure out a joke about playing as Otakon and how either pissing your pants or declaring your carnal love for your underage sister makes you lose a turn or something, but honestly, I’m so boggled this even exists — let alone is an actual, official product — I got nothing. My apologies. (Via Unreality Mag)

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
