Metal Gear Mondays — Tactical Podcast Action

In part two of our official Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater (gosh, what a mouthful) we battle both a human ocelot and a... conglomeration of bees inside of a man's body? 

This game is weird, you guys.

The more things change the more they stay the same. Come and join us on our coverage of not only a remake of a 20+-year-old game, but also a remake of a 10-year-old podcast season. 

We're very excited to have Kaye Ross on the show with us and cannot recommend the Duckfeed.tv family of podcasts enough. 

Enjoy!

Through hell and high water, we have finally come to the end of the road on Death Stranding 2: On the Beach (later than planned, but life tends to happen). 

The final chapter of this game is filled with some of the finest Kojima scenes we've ever seen and we're ready to send DS2 up to the rafters. Is that where it belongs? Listen to find out! 

Emotional reflections and more contained within. We hope you're prepared for the debut of...BI-WEEKLY RELEASES!

It's not the end of our journey, but we can see it from here. Our Death Stranding 2 coverage continues with our penultimate episode, covering episodes 14 & 15 of the game. 

From the time of release, you have approximately ~2-ish days to send in your thoughts for any part of Death Stranding 2, or the game as a whole. You can send those thoughts to contact[at]metalgearmondays[dot]com. 

Next week, we push ahead to Tomorrow. Godspeed.

It's part four of our coverage of Death Stranding 2. 

You know what else comes in fours? No, not the Fantastic Four. No, not the Four Musketeers (after D'Artagnan joins). 

If you said Ghostbusters, you'd be right! Bustin' makes us feel good and this week we're catching BTs like it's 2016 and we're wandering around our neighborhood playing Pokemon Go on a well worn iPhone 5. Uh... what were we talking about again?

This week, we're joined by James Reichmuth and we're discussing the road to release, predictions for what the game has in store for us, and things we're less excited about.

Originally, this week's episode was meant to be an interview with Jeff Leach, who is credited as playing "Pierre Southern", a character yet to be revealed from Death Stranding 2. That interview will now air next week.

This is a very special episode. While we were super excited to get to chat with another cast member from Death Stranding 2 ahead of release, we didn't expect the conversation to be so memorable and inspirational. 

This episode features an interview with Debra Wilson (Doom: The Dark Ages, God of War Ragnarok, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, MAD TV, and on and on), and if you've never heard her out of character, you're in for a treat.
