E3 2013: Big Boss and Kiefer Predictions

With E3 2013’s conferences beginning tomorrow, I’m going to assume you’ve listened to Episode 136 of SMYN, where we had SMYNjas call in on Skype for our yearly pre-E3 special.

Wait, you haven’t listened to that yet? Well, go do so now!

Anyway, on that show, we had SMYNjas make predictions that were purposefully bold. We dub these as “Big Boss Predictions.” However, this year, we let these callers make an additional, even CRAZIER prediction. With the news that Kiefer Sutherland is supposedly the new voice of Big Boss, these wilder guesses were called “Kiefer Predictions.”

Now, as E3 is about to descend upon us all, here is a list of the Big Boss and Kiefer Predictions from our pre-E3 podcast (along with who make the prognostications), so that we can document them. Hopefully even one of them is correct. View them after the jump!
