Hello everybody and welcome to the Canaan Rince podcast. We're up to volume 10, issue 497. And we've arrived at Death Stranding. And joining me, Leon Cox, in this issue, Alia Haydut. I would prefer it if you used my true name, which is of course Princess Beach.

It's, it, it needs to be something even more literal.

So like, that relates to your personality, but I'll let you figure that out for yourself.

Brian Edwards is also here.

Hi, Leanne. I'm coming to you with the mind of a diehard man, the body of a dead man, and the heart of a heart man.

My little wheeze was going to be that I was going to surprise you with the fact that we're actually going to cover the other game in which you play, Norman Reader's, which is the Walking Dead Survival Instinct,

2013's first-person horror shooter game, which I have completed.

Oh, really? I have not played that, but I heard it was not very good.

I didn't think it was very good, no.

Cannot speak to that, obviously, but yeah.

I would say stick with Death Stranding on the whole. Although, as we will hear from our correspondence and possibly from our panelists, I don't really

know.

This game is quite a divisive one.

What is it?

What is Death Stranding?

That's a long story.

I've tried to strip it down to this, which is a third person action game set in an open world.

Everything's got a question mark after it. Future post-catechaclysm North America, in which you play a repair come delivery man who must travel to the east coast to the west and back again

hooking up folks to the internet uh i know he's more of a delivery man but he kind of does

do sort of repair work effectively on the side doesn't he uh my other name for this game is

shower with your darrell simulator yeah you know that whole if you want to skip the shower sequence, it's like five or six clicks.

Like, they really want you to linger on Norman Rebus's well-sculpted buttocks for as long as possible.
