BLOGPOST UPDATE IN PROGRESS

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 1138 & BENKYO RADIO 1138. Do you remember the teaser for DS2? Watch it again, and then look below, it’s the full-fledge trailer for DS2. The trailer is insane, and I highly recommend you do not watch it until you finish Death Stranding & Death Stranding: Director’s Cut in their entirety. People have a lot of questions and theories about this new game, and DO NOT WORRY, I will go into very detailed live-commentary while I livestream Death Stranding: DC like I have been, and like I will be doing, over the next couple of weeks/months, until the release of DS2 in 2025. We will focus on completing the main story, and then try to do as many side missions, due to the hints it tell us about the whole story, such as the horrific facts that the terrorists (mules and/or HIGGS and his crew) utilized a prehistoric bacteria as a weapon, which may have caused the horrific pandemic inside the world of Death Stranding, which took place at the very beginning. If we’re excited about DS2 and DS3, imagine what will happen when I announce to Hideo Kojima that there’s even a stronger more complicated project: the DS 0 game, the prequel, which gives us even more details at the very beginning of the pandemic, and tells us why in the FUCK that there seems to be only a handful of African-Americans left on the entire planet. Who caused this? (In other words, game-over for #MAGACULT (KKK) and Donald Trump’s group of idiots) This is extremely dangerous and must be taken seriously. This is why Die-Hardman wears the ANICORN WATCH, which will give us even more obscure details in both DS2, and DS0, whenver those two games are finally released. Even more incredible, I will use my “time-travel” communicating device, with all my podcasts at my disposal, and the number of likes of devices inside that world, which gives us messages throughout Space-Time, making the world of Death Stranding even more fascinating, until once and for all, we defeat the final boss, HIGGS, inside the body of AMELIE (spoilers). I might even hear from Jean-Marc Mensah, my former bestfriend, whom I think was lost inside a parallel dimension, or went through a wormhole.

Until Next Time!
