These people had lined outside Virgin Megastore in Times Square on the 11th to celebrate the midnight release of Metal Gear Solid 4, the fourth and final entry in the highly acclaimed video game franchise. Their patience paid off as Hideo Kojima the creator of the famed Metal Gear series made a rare appearance and signed autographs for his adoring fans from roughly 12:05AM 'til closing at 3:00AM.
