    Blade Runner 2049

    Last time we took a diversion to talk about Blade Runner after Kojima talked it up in the Creative Gene, so of course it'd be foolish of us to not talk about it's surprisingly great, years later sequel: Blade Runner 2049. And we have so much to say about it, from it's many great performances (and one notable bad one), it's amazing production, our various feelings about the ending, and the one universal truth: Dave Bautista is the man.Episode 77: If Only He Tried Acting

    1h 51m

    Blade Runner

    Inspired by Kojima's essay on it in The Creative Gene, we're talking about Blade Runner! Ridley Scott's massively influential science fiction classic. When were not gushing over how good the film is and how much Rutger Hauer's performance makes us want to cry, we try to dissect the film for its most "Metal Gear" like elements.Episode 76: You Ever See a Man and Want to Cry?

    Metal Gear Survive - 2

    We did it. We survived Metal Gear Survive. We talk about the story (what little there is), the repetitiveness of the gameplay, and the overall sauceless-ness of it all. Oh, and we also talk extensively about the cast of Zoolander for reasons.Episode 75: World of Tanks Creature Design

    1h 11m

    Metal Gear Survive - 1

    It's finally time for us to play the infamously poorly received Metal Gear Survive, so you know what that means: we spend some time reminiscing about Metal Gear AC!D 2, looking up Digimon on the villains fandom wiki, and also talking about the ups and (mostly) downs of our first few hours with this middling survival game.Episode 74: Pre-Wegmans Venus

    1h 24m

    The Creative Gene

    Now that we've wrapped up DS2, it's time return to the world of books as we dig into The Creative Gene: A collection of essays by Kojima about his favorite books, movies, and various other things. We gain a lot of insight into his thematic inspirations, where many of the ideas for Death Stranding came from, some biographical info about the man, and his thoughts about life and the connections we make. Join us as we pour through this collection, and come to a startling conclusion about Kojima's gaming habits.Episode 73: Kojima, Get Your Library Card

    Death Stranding 2 - 6

    It's not the journey, it's the strands we made along the way... We finished Death Stranding 2! Time to bask in it's final moments as we face off against a giant crab, enter the tokusatsu zone, and guitar battle our gay rival. We also confirm some long standing theories of ours. All I'll say is Tomorrow is in your hands... Episode 72: Bigger Lou Theory

    Death Stranding 2 - 5

    We're coming up real close to the end of DS2 which means we've got lots to talk about in this episode. We've got more Higgs and more Neil, the return of two old friends, the Patriots, and... Tomie? All this and more as we wrap our heads around this penultimate section of DS2. Episode 71: These Three Girls Can Kill God

    1h 37m

    Death Stranding 2 - 4

    Death Stranding 2 is the game that keeps on giving. First we've got Mamoru Oshii dishing out pizzas and teaching us Pizza-Do Karate, then there's Usada Pekora, and then there's one of the sickest cutscenes we've ever seen in a Kojima game where a jokerfied guitar wielding Higgs fights a giant samurai mech man who may or may not be our baby? God, this game rules. Episode 70: This Too is Pizza-Do
