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

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

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

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

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

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

It's time for us to get to know our newest member aboard the DHV Magellan, and come to the realization that women have never been thriving more in a Kojima game then our main trio is in this game. Also, Heartman is back! And he's receiving emails from himself???Episode 69: Girls Rock

DS2 continues! As Sam attempts to recover from the events of episode 1, we get to meet the drawbridge crew and venture out through the plate gate to Australia where we reunite with everyone's favorite scene-chewing bad guy, fight a big mech like it's metal gear, rescue a kangaroo, and have an encounter with a mysterious guy who is NOT Solid Snake!Episode 68: The Greatest Fireworks You've Ever Seen

It's finally DS2 time! For the first time ever, we're covering a brand new Kojima game, and so of course that means we've got an extra long episode for you as we unpack our initial thoughts about the game and its first two episodes. So let's check in on Sam and Lou. Surely nothing tragic is going to happen to them...

Episode 67: Now I'm not a fan of babies, but...

We just couldn't help ourselves, so enjoy this extra long episode as we talk through the rest of Death Stranding! There's so much to unpack from EEs and BBs, Ha and Ka, hugs with Deadman, corny lines, Heartman's whole thing, and the secret identity of Peter Englert revealed??? All that and muchh more in our final episode on Death Standing. Look forward to Death Stranding 2 next time!Episode 66: All Ha No Ka

After we take a brief excursion into the science of Metal Gear character naming, we talk about episodes 5 and 6 of Death Stranding. We spend some time with our girl Mama, and find out why she's called that. Then, we get to meet up with our boy Deadman for some quality shower time before saying goodbye (temporarily) to our BB.Episode 65: The Man Condition

Our journey to reconnect America in Death Stranding continues with Episodes 3 and 4. Time for us to learn a lot about our friend Fragile, deliver some pizza, and then fight in WWI? As you'd expect from Kojima, lots of wild stuff for us to talk about.Episode 64: Unafraid of Your Words And Deeds

Death Stranding continues as we work our way through Episode 2! Time to get down to business by delivering some package, and connecting people to the internet. Oh, and Geoff Keighley is here too looking for action figures. Episode 63: There's a Lot of Homos in This Game

It's time to enter the era of Kojima's post-Konami breakup as we begin our journey through Death Stranding. We've got so much to talk about right out of the gate from characters with obvious names to proper nouns like DOOMs, and BBs, and Timefall, and Repatriates. Episode 62: *ASMR Voice* Hey DOOMers

We finished Ac!d 2 and boy are there some wild and fun twists and ideas at the end of this game. Things like dowsing rods, brain cloning, hypnotism, elementary school hackers, and more! Episode 61: A Clone of a Clone

Onward to Ac!d 2! A sequel which seemingly picks up on none of the threads from the first game, but does have a lot of quality of life improvements, so we're having a great time, and not at all distracted by the cartoonishly jiggling boobs.Episode 60: Metal Gear Raid Party

We've come to the end of Ac!d. Time to fight another Metal Gear and save the day, and finally learn all the insane (and inconsequential?) plot twists as the game races towards a conclusion. Surely all of this will go somewhere in Ac!d 2, right? Episode 59: Acting Cells Under Alice

We're soldiering on in our journey through Ac!d and it's time for some classic MGS stuff like backtracking for a PSG-1 and crossing some bridges. And also some non-MGS stuff like fighting a clown and playing a board game... Episode 58: King of Dream Town

It's time for some shocking revelations as we continue on with Metal Gear Ac!d. Is Solid Snake really who he says he is? What is ACUA? Is Pythagoras the name of the Metal Gear or not? All this and more! Make sure to stick around until the end as we do the important work of figuring out what instruments the MGS3 characters would play in a marching band. Episode 57: Metal Gear High School

We're returning to the world of handheld gaming with Metal Gear Ac!d. Does it hold up to Portable Ops, our beloved PSP only Metal Gear game? Either way, it's time for some deck building in this card-based, dubiously canon entry in the series. Episode 56: Active Command Intelligence Duel
