The Buffalo Bills are the best team in the NFL<\/h2>

<\/iframe><\/p>

Earlier this week, rumors of Hideo Kojima leaving<\/a> both Konami and the Metal Gear<\/em> series surfaced, thanks to a report from GameSpot<\/a>. Not to be undone by excellent reporting from The 2nd Street Jerks (The 2nd Street Jerks is a wrestling stable consisting of GameSpot, IGN, and Giant Bomb that I just made up), I went down to Konami’s office in Los Angeles, California in order to do some reporting of my own.<\/p>

Unfortunately, everyone there was understandably afraid of losing their jobs should they discuss company matters with a reporter. I didn’t want my time in El Segundo to be wasted, so I ate some Chipotle & filmed myself rambling into a camera across the street from Konami.<\/p>

You probably won’t like this video, but if you do, you should check out Joe Pera’s stuff<\/a>. He’s a really talented comedian<\/a> and way funnier<\/a> than I ever will be, but his brand of comedy isn’t for everyone! If you do like him, though, get in touch so I can look over the top of my sunglasses and wink at you.<\/p>

Thanks!<\/p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":50,"featured_media":161644,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"article_type":"","gamurs_wordpress_blocks_hide_tags":false,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false},"categories":[1,97,101,137,99],"tags":[2571,468,451,768,1210,5764,1484],"internal-label":[],"invoiceable_action":[],"article_type":[],"coauthors":[{"id":50,"display_name":"Mike
