About this episode
This is it: the final Death Stranding 2 spoilercast. Lumines Arise is also out, and that game is an extreme banger. Valve crashes back into the hardware market with a new Steam Machine, VR headset, and controller. Grand Theft Auto VI gets yet another delay. We even hear from someone who's had both the McDonald's Pizza and the Street Fighter burgers. Real action-packed week on the ol' Nextlander Podcast!
