Metal Gear, a long time staple of the Stealth Genre will have its 7th main release with Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. With September 1st in a few months, we'd like to do a refresher course from its humble beginnings on the MSX Platform to the upcoming release of The Phantom Pain. We'll go over the development history,philosophy, and lore in each title. We'll also go under some of the more obscure tidbits of the series and about Hideo Kojima. At the end there will Q&A and prizes! The panel will be hosted by me Frederick Guese who currently writes for PlayStation haven, a video game news site, PlayStation Haven at www.playstationhaven.com . and Erick Mattos, a longtime MGS fan, Machinima director, and graphic designer. You can view his videos at www.youtube.com/CpmStudios.

Jeremy Blaustien, one of the unsung heroes of video game translation. He worked for Konami in the 90's. He worked on games such as  the original Metal Gear Solid, Suikoden 2, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations and Silent Hill 2-4 and Dragon Warrior VII.  He also worked on some anime mainly Pokemon. He lives in Japan, so that could be a logistics issue.

He's currently working a game called Blackmore's Bane and owns a localization company iqioi inc.
