Joining us this week is Tommie Earl Jenkins, actor, musician, stage performer, and the voice of Death Stranding’s Die-Hardman. We discuss what it was like working with industry icon Hideo Kojima:
“[I] was in a room with some fantastic people, creating a fantastic piece of work. [Kojima] is the man. He was the easiest person to relate to.”
He also goes into his most memorable scene in Death Stranding:
“The wonderful thing was having Norman [Reedus] there. If it wasn’t for him and his commitment -because he does very little, but he does a lot – to stand there and be so connected with me visually, it absolutely propelled everything to where to needed to go.”

If by “man” you mean hack, sure. He definitely sucks at most things. Writers can’t stand him, gameplay never really holds up (or are his ideas to begin with when it does). Lit Konami on fire. Unethical review camps. Gross product placement.
Kojima sucks.
