Death Discoursing And Suicide Squawking

On this week’s episode, Nathan, Chris, and Riley share their thoughts on the new and characteristically over the top Death Stranding 2 trailer, which gets everybody talking about the industry’s favorite auteur: Ken Levine. OK, first they discuss Hideo Kojima and his place in video games as one of the only people who gets to do His Whole Thing at such a massive scale, but then they get to Levine, who also just debuted a trailer for his new game and serves as an example of how maintaining a Kojima-like cult of personality can go horribly wrong. After that, they talk about Suicide Squad and the unavoidable deluge of discourse around a game that’s ultimately proven to be just fine. Then they mourn the new Deus Ex game that only became public knowledge when Embracer killed it. Also, more than one person tells a story about a funeral they went to, because I guess there was just something in the air this week.
