I saw this on Australian Gamer today and just felt I had to post it.

Essentially, a Turkish man escaped from prison by hiding in a cardboard box. Has this man ever played MGS? We'll never know...

He'll be expecting a letter from Komani's lawyers anyway

That's some fine reporting there.

awesome. a win 4 snake fans everywhere

I am just curious to know why the guards did not think the random moving box was weird at all.

Also, is it just me or is that prison really easy to escape from?

Snake? Snaaake?? SNAAAAAAKE!?!?!

Did the people lifting the box not notice that it was about as heavy as a, oh say, Turkish prisoner -_-

Then again, now I have a plan to escape from the box factory...

Stupid guards, everyone knows to look inside the hand-hold if you see a box marked "kitchen 2" in " warehouse 3".

Duh.

That is so freakin awesome. Now all this prisoner has to do is get a really long bandana.

Duh.

I think they were distracted by the porno mag someone had dropped on the ground.

i wonder if the guards had giant punctuation marks on their head.

Turtleboy1017:
I bet it was just Solid Snake on a training exercise. And don't you DARE SAY HE ISN'T REAL!!!!

Of course it was Snake, notice they never revealed what the prisoner's name was.

least He did a Non Violent way out...

*shrug* eh, its just a box.

Aren't turkish prisons meant to be pretty hardcore? Seems he got away pretty easily.

So basically the guy did some average level sneaking for 3 minutes then had to watch a poorly directed espionage film about mechs for 3 hours. Shit man, I'd have stayed in prison.

Haha, you win the thread. =P

wow... now i know. if im ever stuck in a turkish prison, treat it like a stealth game.

I shouldn't be saying this, but:

It was a German prison he escaped from.

I read about this some time ago (being a few days). I wonder if Hideo Kojima would feel pride at this.

Indigo_Dingo:
$50 says that Fox News are gonna spin this and say videogames are helping put armed criminals back on the streets.

Obviously. Who ever woul dhave thought of using a cardboard box before MGS? It's madness, really.

Madness?

THIS...IS..SPARTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but seriously, I want to know exactly how this could even happen in the first place.

When i read the title i couldn't beleive it and had to read it. Unbelievable to think that you could escape Prison in a cardboard box

This is awesome. Yet this is also scary just how easy it is to escape from prison.
