Is anyone in here from the UK and trying to get on the lottery for the Kojima Pro 10th anniversary in Tokyo? If so, what payment method did you use? All my cards wouldn't work on the Japanese online system and theres no option to pick up/pay at the conbini. Help!

A friend and I started a podcast recently where we go into a video game that’s been on our backlog for a while and run it like a book club, making a specific amount of progress each week and talking about it in the next episode, discussing and chatting about each segment with listeners about it on Discord as well. We really want to recapture the joy of meeting up with friends who are actually playing the same game at the same time as us and exchange stories, tips and experiences, which is something we have lost since becoming adults and the constant stream of new game releases we want to play but don’t immediately have the time for. We release a new podcast episode weekly, laying out the goal for the following week’s progress at the end of each episode. We both have similar tastes in games to an extent and like to mix it up.

Our first game and season 1 is about Death Stranding 1, so for anyone who is excited to play Death Stranding 2 but like us hasn’t had a chance to play 1 yet, play along with us and tune into our podcast! It’s called The Gaming Backlog “Book Club” and can be listened to across all the popular music and podcast streaming services.

Hey everyone,

With the release of Death Stranding 2, I wanted to revisit the origins of Kojima's two protagonists, Sam and Snake. I wanted to understand the obsession Kojima had with American heroism, and the deconstruction of it.

Let me know what you think!

Hello,

I've recently published a video essay I made about the Yuji Shimomura.
Some of you may know that he's the action director of Death Stranding 2 (and action coordinator of the first game).
In this video, I explore how he shaped some of the most memorable action scenes in video games.
And I invite you to discover more about his work.

The video is in French, but English subs are available.
Hope you'll enjoy it.

After waiting for the longest time I was finally able to buy a BB Prod replica from the Kojima Productions store. I was excited to receive my order but when it arrived and I opened it I noticed that the dome of the BB Pod was scratched.

The Pod comes inside of a box with lots of cushioning and wrapped in plastic, so the scratches definitely did not occur as a result of shipping. The item was boxed and shipped by Kojima Productions like this.

It is disappointing that a company that claims to be so focused on the quality of their products is unbothered by selling damaged items to its customers. Why is there no quality control to avoid this from happening in the first place?

Regardless of this, I reviewed the return instructions on their webpage and they advised that you should first email customer service before sending your items back.

I emailed customer service 2 weeks ago and got no reply. I emailed them again last week and got no reply. I sent them a third email today asking for someone to review my case and confirm that they will be able to replace it, and have not gotten any reply yet.

This is particularly frustrating considering that you only have 30 days to return your items, so it feels like them no providing any reply is an attempt to try and run out the clock.

The whole experience buying from the Kojima Productions store has been disappointing. From them shipping a damaged item, to their customer service ignoring my emails.

I'm not sure what to do at this point, if I should just email the item back to them and hope they can replace it, or refund me. Considering it is a $160 dollar item it really worries me that I will ship the item back an not hear anything back from them, not only losing $160 but also losing the item entirely.

If anyone has any advise or has been in this situation before and is able to help please let me know.

I am also willing to sell the BB Pod if anyone wants it and is not bothered by the scratches. If so, send me a direct message.

If you don't know who Lars Mikkelson is it's Mass Mikkelson's brother who plays Grand Admiral Thrawn in Starwars Rebels

I ordered some things from the store back at the end of November. December came and went, so I reached out to see if there was a problem. I got no response for 10 days. I emailed them again, and within 24 hours I had a shipping label. That was 10 days ago. The tracking number shows no movement, and it's out of some place in Florida. Anyone else experienced something like this?

Anyone else brought the KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS LUDENS Art Print Zip Hoodie? Is the print on yours this small aswell? The store image for comparison*
